Hi Everyone,
Hope all are well, Have a quick question regarding setting up APR with Tomcat 6.
Ok story so far, I found this link
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html which is for Tomcat 5.5 (came across the same page for Tomcat 6 as well), the page provides a link (windows section) to a single binary file called tcnatice-1.dll which can be dropped into the Tomcat install directory under the bin folder which allows tomcat to pick up the APR librarys and use them. Works grand but the logs do say that the library used is old (1.1.9) and a newer version should be used (over 1.1.10).
So then i went to the following url,
http://apache.mirrors.esat.net/apr/binaries/win32/ and downloaded apr-all-1.2.12-win32-x86-msvcrt60.zip which seems to be the latest binaries available. I then unzipped the zip file and had various folders and files, i found 3 dlls in the bin folder called libapr-1.dll, libapriconv-1.dll, libaprutil-1.dll which i again coped into Tomcat/bin but this time Tomcat does not pick up the APR files and does not load them. I also tried to copy the entire zip contents into the Tomcat install directory and bin dir but so far i cant get the latest APR to work.
Can some one explain to me how to use these binary files so Tomcat loads APR again.
Best
Mark
