+
+1. Getting Axis2/C Working on Linux
+===================================
+
+ 1.1 Setting up Prerequisites
+ ----------------------------
+
+ 1.1.1 Mandotory
+ --------------
+ By default Axis2/C is not depenendent on any other software libraries.
+
+ 1.1.2 Optional
+ --------------
+ (a) libxml2 - http://www.xmlsoft.org/
+ (b) zlib - http://www.zlib.net/
+ (c) libiconv - http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
+
+ (d) Apache Qpid - You need to have Qpid libraries installed on your machine
+ if you are going to use AMQP transport. It is imperative
+ that you compile and install Qpid from SVN source.
+ You can checkout Qpid SVN source from
+ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/trunk.
+
+ 1.2 Using Binary Release
+ ------------------------
+
+ (a) Extract the binary tar package to a directory.
+
+ (b) Set AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where you
+ have extracted Axis2/C.
+
+ $ AXIS2C_HOME='/your_path_to_axis2c'
+ $ export AXIS2C_HOME
+
+ NOTE : You will need to set AXIS2C_HOME only if you need to run Axis2/C
+ samples or tests. The reason is that the samples and test codes
+ use AXIS2C_HOME to get the path to Axis2/C. To write your own
+ services or clients this is not a requirement.
+
+ 1.3 Using Source Release
+ ------------------------
+
+ 1.3.1 Basic Build
+ -----------------
+
+ (a) Extract the source tar package to a directory
+
+ (b) Set AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where you
+ want to install Axis2/C.
+
+ $ AXIS2C_HOME='/your_desired_path_to_axis2c_installation'
+ $ export AXIS2C_HOME
+
+ NOTE : You will need to set AXIS2C_HOME only if you need to run Axis2/C
+ samples or tests. The reason is that the samples and test codes
+ use AXIS2C_HOME to get the path to Axis2/C. To write your own
+ services or clients this is not a requirement.
+
+ (c) Go to the directory where you extracted the source
+
+ $ cd /your_path_to_axis2c_source
+
+ (d) Build the source
+ This can be done by running the following command sequence in the
+ directory where you have extracted the source.
+
+ $ ./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME}
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+ Please run './configure --help' in respective sub directories for more
+ information on these configure options.
+
+ NOTE : If you don't provide the --prefix configure option, it will by
+ default be installed into '/usr/local/axis2c' directory.
+
+ You could run 'make check' to test if everything is working fine. However,
+ note that the test/core/clientapi/test_clientapi program would fail unless
+ AXIS2C_HOME points to the installed location. (It's looking for Axis2/C
+ repository) This means you really should run 'make && make install',
+ then set 'AXIS2C_HOME=/path/to/install', and then 'make check'.
+ That's a little different than the usual 'make && make check && make
+ install' process.
+
+ 1.3.2 Build with Options
+ ------------------------
+
+ (a) With Guththila
+ ------------------
+ You may need to try Axis2/C with Guththila XML parser. You can do it by
+ giving '--enable-guththila=yes' as a configure option.
+
+ $ ./configure --enable-guththila=yes [other configuration options]
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+ (b) With libxml2
+ ----------------
+
+ You may need to try Axis2/C with libxml2 XML parser. You can do it by
+ giving '--enable-libxml2=yes' as a configure option.
+
+ $ ./configure --enable-libxml2=yes [other configuration options]
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+ (c) With AMQP Transport
+ -----------------------
+
+ You may need to try Axis2/C with the AMQP transport. You can do it by
+ giving '--with-qpid=/path/to/qpid/home' as a configure option.
+
+ $ ./configure --with-qpid=/path/to/qpid/home [other configuration options]
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+ 1.3.3 Building Samples
+ ----------------------
+
+ If you need to get the samples working, you also need to build the samples.
+
+ To build the samples:
+
+ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib/
+ $ cd samples
+ $ ./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME}
+ --with-axis2=${AXIS2C_HOME}/include/axis2-1.6.0
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+ Please run './configure --help' in samples folder for more information on
+ configure options.
+
+ NOTE : If you don't provide a --prefix configure option, samples will by
+ default be installed into '/usr/local/axis2c/samples' directory.
+
+ 1.4 Configuration
+ -----------------
+
+ 1.4.1 AMQP Transport
+ --------------------
+
+ You need to add the following entries into the axis2.xml.
+
+ <transportReceiver name="amqp" class="axis2_amqp_receiver">
+ <parameter name="qpid_broker_ip" locked="false">127.0.0.1</parameter>
+ <parameter name="qpid_broker_port" locked="false">5672</parameter>
+ </transportReceiver>
+
+ <transportSender name="amqp" class="axis2_amqp_sender"/>
+
+ 1.5 Running Samples
+ -------------------
+
+ 1.5.1 HTTP Transport
+ --------------------
+
+ (a) Server
+ ----------
+
+ You have to first start the axis2_http_server as follows.
+
+ $ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/bin
+ $ ./axis2_http_server
+
+ You should see the message
+ Started Simple Axis2 HTTP Server...
+
+ This will start the simple axis server on port 9090. To see the possible
+ command line options run
+
+ $ ./axis2_http_server -h
+
+ NOTE 1 : You may need to login as superuser to run the axis2_http_server.
+ NOTE 2 : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as
+ follows.
+
+ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib
+
+ (b) Clients
+ -----------
+
+ When the axis2_http_server is up and running, you can run the sample
+ clients in a new shell as follows.
+
+ $ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/samples/bin
+ $ ./echo
+ This will invoke the echo service.
+
+ $ ./math
+ This will invoke the math service.
+
+ To see the possible command line options for sample clients run them
+ with '-h' option
+
+ NOTE : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as
+ follows.
+ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib
+
+ 1.5.2 AMQP Transport
+ --------------------
+
+ (a) Server
+ ----------
+
+ Start the Qpid broker as follows.
+
+ $ cd ${QPID_HOME}/sbin
+ $ ./qpidd --data-dir ./
+
+ Start the axis2_amqp_server as follows.
+
+ $ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/bin
+ $ ./axis2_amqp_server
+
+ You should see the message
+ Started Simple Axis2 AMQP Server...
+
+ This will connect to the Qpid broker listening on 127.0.0.1:5672.
+ To see the possible command line options run
+
+ $ ./axis2_amqp_server -h
+
+ NOTE 1 : You have the flexibility of starting the Qpid broker first and
+ then axis2_amqp_server or vise versa.
+ NOTE 2 : You may need to login as superuser to run the axis2_amqp_server.
+ NOTE 3 : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as
+ follows.
+
+ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib
+
+ (b) Clients
+ -----------
+
+ When the axis2_amqp_server is up and running, you can run the sample
+ clients in a new shell as follows.
+
+ $ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/samples/bin/amqp
+ $ ./echo_blocking
+ This will invoke the echo service.
+
+ To see the possible command line options for sample clients run them
+ with '-h' option
+
+ NOTE : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as
+ follows.
+
+ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib
+
+
+2. Getting Axis2/C Working on Windows (Win32)
+=============================================
+
+ 2.1 Setting up Prerequisites
+ ----------------------------
+
+ 2.1.1 Mandatory
+ ---------------
+ (a) The binaries shipped with this version are compiled with
+ Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (cl). And also the makefile that is
+ shipped with this version needs Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (cl)
+ and nmake build tool.
+
+ NOTE : You can download Microsoft VS Express2005 Edition and
+ Platform SDK from Microsoft website. You need to add the path to
+ Platform SDK Include and Lib folders to the makefile in order
+ for you to compile the source.
+
+
+ 2.1.2 Optional
+ --------------
+ (a) libxml2 [http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml
+ version >= libxml2-2.6.20.win32]
+
+ (b) zlib [http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml
+ version >= zlib-1.2.3.win32]
+
+ (c) iconv [http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml
+ version >= iconv-1.9.1.win32]
+
+ 2.2 Using Binary Release
+ ------------------------
+
+ Extract the binary distribution to a folder of your choice.
+ (example: C:\axis2c)
+
+ The c:\axis2c folder structure is as follows.
+
+ axis2c
+ |
+ +- bin - server
+ |
+ +- samples - samples go here
+ | |
+ | +- bin - sample client executables
+ | |
+ | +- lib - sample libraries
+ | |
+ | +- src - source files of the sampels in bin and lib folders
+ |
+ |
+ +- docs - documentation
+ |
+ +- include - all include files of axis2
+ |
+ +- lib - library modules
+ |
+ +- logs - system and client logs are written to this folder
+ |
+ +- modules - deployed modules
+ |
+ +- services - deployed services
+
+ You might optionally require to copy zlib1.dll ,iconv.dll and libxml2.dll. Copy
+ them to C:\axis2c\lib .
+ (Or you can have these dll's in some other place and add that
+ location to PATH environment variable)
+
+ 2.3 Using Source Release
+ ------------------------
+
+ 2.3.1 Setting Build Options
+ ---------------------------
+ Please edit the <source_distribution>\build\win32\configure.in file
+ to set the following build options.
+
+ (a) Enable Guththila
+ --------------------
+
+ - Now Guththila is the defualt parser. Unless you enable libxml2 Guththila will be built.
+
+ (b) Enable libxml2
+ ------------------
+
+ - Set the ENABLE_LIBXML2 option to 1
+ - Set the LIBXML2_BIN_DIR to the location where libxml2 is installed to
+ - Set the ICONV_BIN_DIR to the location where iconv is installed to
+
+ (c) Enable SSL Support
+ ----------------------
+
+ - Set ENABLE_SSL option to 1
+ - Set OPENSSL_BIN_DIR to the location where OpenSSL is installed to
+
+ (d) Enable libcurl
+ ------------------
+
+ - Set ENABLE_LIBCURL to 1
+ - Set LIBCURL_BIN_DIR to the location where libcurl is installed to
+
+ (e) Setting zlib Location
+ -------------------------
+
+ Set the ZLIB_BIN_DIR to the location where zlib is installed to
+
+ Default location for zlib is E:\zlib-1.2.3.win32 and the folder
+ structure should look like the following
+
+ E:\zlib-1.2.3.win32
+ |
+ +- include
+ |
+ +- bin
+ |
+ +- lib
+
+ You can either extract zlib to this folder or extract it to a location
+ of your choice and edit the configure.in file accordingly.
+
+ NOTE : You need to have zlib1.dll in the library path.
+
+
+
+ 2.3.2 Compiling the Source
+ --------------------------
+
+ Extract the source distribution to a folder of your choice.
+ Example:
+ C:\axis2c
+
+ Open a DOS shell and type:
+
+ > cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\build\win32
+ > vcvars32.bat
+ > nmake install
+
+ NOTE : You may need to set the PATH environment variable to vcvars32.bat
+ if Windows complains that it cannot find this batch file. This file
+ is located in <Your MS Visual Studio Install Directory>\VC\bin
+ directory.
+
+ That's it! This will build the system and create a directory named 'deploy'
+ under the build directory.
+
+ The deploy folder structure is as follows.
+
+ deploy
+ |
+ +- bin - server and other executables
+ |
+ +- samples - samples go here
+ | |
+ | +- bin - sample client executables
+ | |
+ | +- lib - sample libraries
+ | |
+ | +- src - sources of the samples in bin and lib folders
+ |
+ |
+ +- lib - library modules
+ |
+ +- services - deployed services
+ |
+ +- modules - deployed modules
+ |
+ +- include - all include files of axis2
+ |
+ +- logs - system and client logs are written to this folder
+
+ 2.4 Running Samples
+ -------------------
+
+ You need to set a couple of environment variables before you can run the
+ server and samples.
+
+ Set the variable AXIS2C_HOME to the deploy folder (C:\axis2c)
+ Add the path to lib directory to the PATH variable (%AXIS2C_HOME%\lib)
+
+ You might optionally require to copy the iconv.dll, zlib1.dll, libxml2.dll to
+ the %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib folder.
+
+ 2.4.1 HTTP transport
+ --------------------
+
+ (a) Server
+ ----------
+
+ > cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\bin
+ > axis2_http_server.exe
+
+ You should see the message
+ Started Simple Axis2 HTTP Server...
+
+ By default the log is created under %AXIS2C_HOME%\logs folder with the
+ name axis2.log.
+
+ NOTE : You may provide command line options to change the default behaviour.
+ Type 'axis2_http_server.exe -h' to learn about the usage
+
+ (b) Clients
+ -----------
+
+ Now you can run any sample client deployed under %AXIS2C_HOME%\samples\bin
+
+ Example:
+ > cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\samples\bin
+ > echo.exe
+
+
+3. Installing Apache2 Web Server Integration Module (mod_axis2)
+===============================================================
+
+ 3.1 Building mod_axis2 from Source
+ ----------------------------------
+
+ 3.1.1 On Linux
+ --------------
+
+ Provide the Apache2 include file location as a configure option
+
+ $ ./configure --with-apache2="<apache2 httpd include files location>"
+ [other configure options]
+
+ NOTE : Some apache2 distributions install APR (Apache Portable Runtime)
+ include files in a separate location which is required to build
+ mod_axis2.
+
+ In that case use:
+ $ ./configure --with-apache2="<apache2 include files location>"
+ --with-apr="<apr include files location>"
+ [other configure options]
+
+ Then build the source tree
+
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+ This will install mod_axis2.so into your "<your_path_to_axis2c>/lib"
+
+ 3.1.2 On Windows (Win32)
+ ------------------------
+
+ Provide the apache2 location in configure.in file in APACHE_BIN_DIR
+
+ Example:
+ APACHE_BIN_DIR = E:\Apache22
+
+ After compiling the sources (as described in section 2.3) build the
+ mod_axis2.dll by issuing the command 'nmake axis2_apache_module'.
+ This will build mod_axis2.dll and copy it to %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib directory.
+
+ Example:
+ C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib
+
+ 3.2 Deploying in Apache2 Web Server
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ NOTE : To do the following tasks, you might need super user privileges
+ on your machine.
+
+ Copy the mod_axis2 (libmod_axis2.so.0.6.0 on Linux and mod_axis2.dll
+ on Windows) to "<apache2 modules directory>" as mod_axis2.so
+
+ Example:
+ cp $AXIS2C_HOME/lib/libmod_axis2.so.0.6.0
+ /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_axis2.so (on Linux)
+
+ copy C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib\mod_axis2.dll
+ C:\Apache2\modules\mod_axis2.so (on Windows)
+
+ Edit the Apache2's configuration file (generally httpd.conf) and add the
+ following directives
+
+ LoadModule axis2_module <apache2 modules directory>/mod_axis2.so
+ Axis2RepoPath <axis2 repository path>
+ Axis2LogFile <axis2 log file path>
+ Axis2MaxLogFileSize <maximum size of log file>
+ Axis2LogLevel LOG_LEVEL
+ <Location /axis2>
+ SetHandler axis2_module
+ </Location>
+
+ NOTE: Axis2 log file path should have write access to all users because by
+ default Apache Web Server runs as nobody.
+
+ If you want to use a Shared Global Pool with Apache you have to give
+ another entry called Axis2GlobalPoolSize. You have to give the size of
+ the shared global pool in MB. If you don't set the value or if you
+ set a negative value Apache module doesn't create shared global pool.
+
+ Axis2GlobalPoolSize <global pool size in MB>
+
+ LOG_LEVEL can be one of the followings
+ crit - Log critical errors only
+ error - Log errors critical errors
+ warn - Log warnings and above
+ info - Log info and above
+ debug - Log debug and above (default)
+ trace - Log trace messages
+
+ NOTE: Use forward slashes "/" for path separators in
+ <apache2 modules directory>, <axis2 repository path> and
+ <axis2 log file path>
+
+ Make sure that the apache2 user has the correct permissions to above paths
+ - Read permission to the repository
+ - Write permission to the log file
+
+ Restart apache2 and test whether mod_axis2 module is loaded by typing the
+ URL http://localhost/axis2/services in your Web browser
+
+4. Installing IIS (Interner Information Server) Integration Module
+ (mod_axis2_IIS)
+==================================================================
+
+ 4.1 Building mod_axis2_IIS from Source
+ --------------------------------------
+
+ After compiling the source (as described in section 2.3) build the
+ mod_axis2.dll by issuing the command 'nmake axis2_IIS_module'.
+ This will build the mod_axis2_IIS.dll and copy it to %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib
+ directory.
+
+ Example:
+ C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib
+
+ 4.2 Deploying in the IIS
+ ------------------------
+
+ Add the following key to the registery.
+
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Axis2c\IIS ISAPI Redirector
+
+ Under this registry key add the following entries.
+
+ A String value with the name "axis2c_home". The value is the AXIS2C_HOME.
+ Example : c:\axis2c
+
+ A String value with the name "log_file". The value is the absolute path of
+ the log file.
+ Example: c:\axis2c\logs\axis2.log
+
+ A String value with the name "log_level". The value can be one of the
+ followings.
+ trace - Log trace messages
+ error - Log errors critical errors
+ info - Log info and above
+ critical - Log critical errors only
+ debug - Log debug and above (default)
+ warning - Log warnings
+
+ You can add a string value with the name services_url_prefix. This is optional and defaults to "/services".
+ As an example, if you have "/web_services" as the prefix, then all the services hosted would have the endpoint prefix of :
+ http://localhost/axis2/web_services.
+ Note: don't forget the / at the begining.
+
+ If you wish, you can also change the location as well by adding a string value with the name axis2_location.
+ This is also optional and defaults to /axis2. If you have /myserser as the value you can access your web
+ services with a url like http://localhost/myserver/services.
+ Note: Don't forget the / at the beginning.
+
+ Now you can do all the registry editing using the JScript file axis2_iis_regedit.js
+ provided with the distribution. When you build axis2/C with the IIS module the file
+ is copied to the root directory of the binary distribution. Just double click it and
+ everything will be set to the defaults. The axis2c_home is taken as the current directory,
+ so make sure you run the file in the Axis2/C repository location (or root of the binary distribution).
+ If you want to change the values you can manually edit the the .js file or give it as command line arguments
+ to the script when running the script. To run the jscript from the command line use the command
+ :\cscript axis2_iis_regedit.js optional arguments.
+ We recomend the manual editing as it is the easiest way to specify the values
+
+ IIS 5.1 or Below
+ -----------------
+ Using the IIS management console, add a new virtual directory to the
+ IIS/PWS web site called "axis2". The physical path of this virtual
+ directory should be the axis2\lib directory (Where the mod_axis2_IIS.dll
+ is in)
+ Assign excecute permissions to this virtual directory.
+
+ Using the IIS management console, add mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a filter to the
+ IIS/PWS web site. The name of the filter can be any meaningful name.
+
+ Restart IIS and test whether mod_axis2_IIS module is loaded by typing the
+ URL http://localhost/axis2 in your Web browser.
+
+ IIS 6 & 7
+ ---------
+ Using the IIS management console, add the mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a Wildcard Script Map.
+ Executable should be the complete path to the mod_axis2_IIS.dll
+ You can put any name as the name of the Wildcard Script Map
+
+ Please don't add the mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a filter to IIS as in the IIS 5.1 case.
+
+ Note: If the Axis2/C failed to load, verify that Axis2/C and its dependent DLLs are in the
+ System Path (not the user path).
+
+5. Using Axis2/C with CGI
+ 5.1 Deploying in Apache2
+
+ If you haven't already done so you need to configure and set up an cgi-bin/ directory
+ that holds your CGI scripts,where we will put Axis2/C cgi executable axis2.cgi.
+
+ (Note: most of recent Apache web servers already have an cgi-bin dir set up, usually
+ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/. )
+
+ Add following to your Apache2 configuration (httpd.conf) file.
+
+ ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/ (Or some other directory of your choice)
+
+ OR you can use
+
+ <Directory /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/>
+ Options +ExecCGI
+ </Directory>
+
+ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
+
+ { It's recomended to restrict all your cgi scripts to single ScriptAlias directory for security reasons.}
+
+ Now we have to set up configuration parameters via environment variables for the cgi
+ deployment using the SetEnv directive.
+
+ { You need to have mod_env enabled for this to work )
+ Add the following to your apache2 configuration file (httpd.conf)
+
+ SetEnv AXIS2C_HOME <your path to axis2c home dir>
+
+ ( i.e. SetEnv AXIS2C_HOME /usr/local/axis2c/ )
+
+ If you have chosen another alias for you cgi-bin you can also set up an AXIS2C_URL_PREFIX
+ environment variable, but it's not needed if you have chosen /cgi-bin/.
+ AXIS2C_URL_PREFIX defines your web services deployment url prefix. Lets say you have chosen URL
+ /private/scripts/ for your cgi-bin URL and named your cgi exec as 'axis2.cgi',
+ Then you need to set AXIS2_URL_PREFIX environment variable as follows:
+
+ SetEnv AXIS2C_URL_PREFIX /private/scripts/axis2.cgi/
+
+
+ Now we have configured apache such that all requests with URL http://<domain-name>/cgi-bin/ requests
+ are located at your configured cgi folder. We have granted Apache server to execute CGI from that directory
+ and treat files with .cgi extensions as CGI executables.
+
+ Now you need to copy the Axis2/C cgi executable "axis2.cgi" located in <AXIS2C_HOME>\bin directory.
+
+ 5.2 Deploying in IIS
+
+ IIS 5.1
+ 1. Open your 'Internet services manager'
+ 2. Under your computer name and 'Default Web Site' you must create an virtual
+ directory called 'cgi-bin' (if you haven't done so by now) so right click
+ 'Default Web Site' -> New -> Virtual Directory.
+ 3. In wizard enter 'cgi-bin' as Alias.
+ 4. Choose a directory of your choice for cgi scripts placement. (like C:\www\cgi-bin\)
+ 5. In access permissions select Read and Execute.
+ 6. Finish the wizard so that Virtual Directory is created.
+ 7. Open your selected folder (i.e. C:\www\cgi-bin\) and copy axis2.cgi there.
+
+
+ NOTE:
+ Your Axis2 endpoints now looks like this when deployed under cgi.
+
+ http://domain-name.com/cgi-bin/axis2.cgi/<services directory>/<service name>
+
+ For the echo service found under /services/ directory of Axis2, the endpoint will become
+ http://domain-name.com/cgi-bin/axis2.cgi/services/echo
+
+6. FAQ
+======
+
+1. Although I was able to get simple axis server up, unable to run samples.
+
+ This could happen because the AXIS2C_HOME environment variable is not
+ set to the correct axis2 installation path.
+
+2. What are the other dependencies Axis2/C has?
+
+ Basically if you are willing to use libxml2 as your parser, you need to
+ have it installed in your system.
+
+ You can get libxml2 from http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html.
+
+3. I have libxml2 installed in my system, but ./configure fails saying
+ "libxml2 not found"
+
+ Yes, you need to install libxml2-dev packages.
+
+ 1. If you are using a Debian based system run
+ $ apt-get install libxml2-dev
+
+ 2. If you are using a RedHat/Fedora based system run
+ $ yum install libxml2-dev
+
+ 3. If you install libxml2 from source you will not get this error
+
+4. Is there any recommended packages, that I need to install in my system?
+
+ 1. automake, autoconf, libtool, aclocal
+ 2. libxml2 and libxml2-dev
+ 3. pkg-config
+
+5. I tried several methods, browse through axis-c-dev and axis-c-user mail
+ archives but I was not able to solve my problem.
+
+ Then you can ask from Axis2/C users or Axis2/C developers about it by
+ sending your question to
+
+ user = axis-c-user@ws.apache.org
+ developer = axis-c-dev@ws.apache.org
+
+ You can subscribe to
+
+ axis-c-user list by sending a request to
+ <axis-c-user-subscribe@ws.apache.org> with the subject "subscribe"
+
+ axis-c-dev list by sending request to
+ <axis-c-dev-subscribe@ws.apache.org> with the subject "subscribe"
