mod_shib_24.so missing

[Austin, Gary D]

I have installed RHEL 6.5. I also installed apache 2.4 using yum and rhel-server-rhscl-6-rpms. I followed the instructions on setting my yum repositories up to use the rhel_6 repository. I did a yum install shibboleth.x86_64 install as directed in the install instructions. I noticed in the apache24.config file it states that if RPM was used that a copy of the file will be put in the conf.d directory. This did not happen. I then copied the a pache24.config file to the appropriate conf.d directory where redhat loaded apache 2.4. I then renamed the file apache24.conf and tried to restart the httpd24-httpd service. I then got an error stating the mod_shib_24.so file did not exist. I am extremely new to RHEL and the Unix world so any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

RHEL6 ships with Apache 2.2, not 2.4, therefore the Shibboleth packages
are built for 2.2. If you want 2.4, you have to build the software
yourself, either in package form or from source. That is not simple to do
if you don't have the background, but all of the material on how to do
that is in the wiki. I would suggest you find some help, or stop using 2.4
and use what comes with the OS.

If you want 2.4 and a standard Red Hat install, use RHEL7.
