Problem installing AEM Dispatcher on Max OSX

Following the documents I've downloaded the Dispatcher but when trying to run the Apache HTTP server, I am encountering the following error. Any ideas of what I need to change to get the library to be recognized and loaded? The version of the daemon is 2.4.23.

Syntax error on line 172 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `dispatcher-module' in file /usr/local/libexec/mod_dispatcher.so: dlsym(0x7fec7b7000f0, dispatcher-module): symbol not found

I think I have it working now. In all of the documents it has you load the dispatcher with:

LoadModule dispatcher_module /usr/local/libexec/mod_dispatcher.so

Then configure it with:

<IfModule disp_apache2.c>
DispatcherConfig /etc/apache2/conf/dispatcher.any
DispatcherLog    /etc/apache2/logs/dispatcher.log
DispatcherLogLevel 3
DispatcherDeclineRoot 0
DispatcherUseProcessedURL 1
DispatcherPassError 0
</IfModule>

I changed the <IfModule > to be <IfModule dispatcher_module> and it looks like the configuration was actually loaded.

See if the following doc helps:

http://brucelefebvre.com/blog/2013/08/22/setting-up-a-dispatcher-on-os-x/

It talks about Setting Up a Dispatcher on OS X.

Have seen this issue when downloaded wrong .so file which was not compiled for my OS.

    That is the one I'm using. I've also read all of the documents on installing the dispatcher as well. I am on the latest version of OSX(Seira). Maybe part of the problem is that they don't a library for that version. Who knows. The httpd seems to start fine without the dispatcher though.

      I think I have everything set up according to the documentation but when I start the httpd, I see this error from the dispatcher. There is a dispatcher.any file set up and in the configuration folder. 

      [dispatcher:notice] [pid 60245] Server [10.45.9.173] has no dispatcher configuration.

      Configuration:

      <IfModule disp_apache2.c>>
      DispatcherConfig /etc/apache2/conf/dispatcher.any
      DispatcherLog    /var/log/dispatcher.log
      DispatcherLogLevel 3
      DispatcherNoServerHeader 0
      DispatcherDeclineRoot 0
      DispatcherUseProcessedURL 1
      DispatcherPassError 0
      </IfModule>
      <Directory />
        <IfModule disp_apache2.c>
          SetHandler dispatcher-handler
          ModMimeUsePathInfo On
        </IfModule>

        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
      </Directory>

      ServerName 10.45.9.173

       

      Note that if I comment out the ServerName line, it just gets replaced with the machine_name.local.

       

      Any ideas?

        I have the dispatcher running now but I am receiving the following:

        [dispatcher:warn] [pid 62956] Dispatcher set as handler, but not configured in server [10.45.9.173].

        Searching the web is coming up with nothing so far.

          I think I have it working now. In all of the documents it has you load the dispatcher with:

          LoadModule dispatcher_module /usr/local/libexec/mod_dispatcher.so

          Then configure it with:

          <IfModule disp_apache2.c>
          DispatcherConfig /etc/apache2/conf/dispatcher.any
          DispatcherLog    /etc/apache2/logs/dispatcher.log
          DispatcherLogLevel 3
          DispatcherDeclineRoot 0
          DispatcherUseProcessedURL 1
          DispatcherPassError 0
          </IfModule>

          I changed the <IfModule > to be <IfModule dispatcher_module> and it looks like the configuration was actually loaded.
