CentOS 7

[hookbot]

This is really hard to install on CentOS 7. Is there an rpm that will work like there is for the old CentOS 6?

This is about as far as I can get:

$ sudo yum install gcc

Hi @hookbot

Please show me the apache version? I guess it might be httpd-2.4.6 Since Apache 2.4.1, it have been bundled mod_remoteip module which can rewrite remote ip address. I recommend to use mod_remoteip instead of mod_rpaf.

c.f. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_remoteip.html

1. replace remote ip

Add this line to httpd.conf or conf.d/mod_remoteip.conf or conf.d/remoteip.conf

RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For

2. change log format

It have to use %a for logging real remote ip.

ref. http://trick77.com/2014/04/06/apache2-2-4-logging-remote-ip-address-using-mod_remoteip/

[y-ken]

Would you please tell me the applying result of this patch?

I found a patch for Apache 2.4.x https://gist.github.com/teriyakisan/2716030

[hookbot]

I installed CentOS 7 Minimal CD. Because I couldn't get your software working on it, I finally gave up and downgrading to CentOS 6.5. Everything is working MUCH easier now, except on my i686 machines. That patch does look nice though.

Maybe it would be best to use #ifdef chunks to define the struct fieldname at the top, then just swap out all that in the code so it will just compile no matter what. I don't have time to do a pull request right now though.

Thanks!

Thank you for trying this and it's happy to hear working fine on your environment. Yeah, I agree to use #ifdef chunks for compatibility. I'm glad to refine them. But what did you faced the problem with i686 machines?

Oh, it's just that you ONLY provide the rpm for CentOS 6.x 64bit arch. No 32bit. And nothing for CentOS 5.x nor CentOS 7.x. So I'm getting bit by that on a lot of our different servers. But I NEED your mod_rpaf fork because of the "RPAFsetport" REMOTE_PORT ENV correction and the Network block feature of "RPAFproxy_ips", so I can't use the original mod_rpaf since it is lacking those features.
