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.
