Troubleshooting Apache Errors| Apache Trouble Shooting
How can I fix the error, ‘libdb.so.3 is missing’ encountered while starting Apache?
Resolution:
The error message indicates that a required file is not found. The libdb library is provided by the compat-db package. Check to see if this is installed on your system by running the
- rpm -qa compat-db command.
If the package is not installed, you may download the package from your installation CDs and install it manually.
Once downloaded you can install it with the following command:
-
rpm -Uvh compat-db-<version>.rpm
Alternatively, if your system is registered with RHN, you can use u2pdate to download
and install the package with:
up2date compat-db
Ater this RPM is installed, you can try starting Apache with service httpd start.
