mod_xmlrpc.so: undefined symbol: xmlrpc_registry_new

[Hadmut Danisch]

Binary package hint: libapache2-mod-xmlrpc2

apache2: Syntax error on line 60 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/xmlrpc.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so: undefined symbol: xmlrpc_registry_new

confirmed, I can reproduce this error on a clean install of hardy-server. Quite annoying, because it prevents me from using the weg-interface of btg, a bittorrent client.

for what it's worth: I managed to make it work with the package from debian unstable

Confirmed on clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 server:

apache2: Syntax error on line 183 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/xmlrpc.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so: undefined symbol: xmlrpc_registry_new
   ...fail!

What should I do?

[Tiago Sousa (tiagoboldt)]

Same here! Gutsy amd64. Just install the module and start the server, the error pops out!

Ubuntu 8.04 fully updated

apache2: Syntax error on line 185 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/xmlrpc.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so: undefined symbol: xmlrpc_registry_new

How can I solve this?

[Joe (js9986)]

I just ran across this problem too.

Ubuntu 8.04

I had previously been using mod xmlrpc. Tonight I installed the twiki package along with it's requirements. The installation failed with the same message as in the previous message "... Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so: undefined symbol: xmlrpc_registry_new"

I then uninstalled the twiki package and the problem remains. In order to start apache2 successfully, I must now disable xmlrpc using the Debian script:
a2dismod xmlrpc. Apache2 starts fine without it, but I am now without the xmlrpc features.

I'm not sure what's going on. Is it possible that one of the packages that were required for twiki clashed with xmlrpc? Unfortunately, I did not keep a record of the other packages that got installed along with the twiki package.

Please don't assign yourself to bugs unless you are working on fixing them (which would be status: in progress then).

I'm wontfixing this bug, because the package has been removed from Debian and Ubuntu in the intrepid release cycle, since it's unmaintained and has not received any updates since October 2004.

[Marshall Fryman (marshall-fryman)]

I found that completely uninstall xmlrpc from the package manager (which is 1.06.21-1) and manually installing 1.06.30 from the site maintainer corrected the issue. Hope it helps.

[Calvin Mitchell (calvin674)]

To Marshall Fryman (or anyone who knows):

There are a number of packages that have "xmlrpc" in their titles...

...I'm assuming that you're referring to "libapache2-mod-xmlrpc2"...where do I get the 1.06.30 version from?
