libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hello,

I have upgraded apache web server from 1.x version to 2.2.15 for PCI compliance. I had to upgrade bea plug-in also and i did, then apache is not coming up.


-bash-4.1$ sudo /sbin/service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 223 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_wl_22.so into server: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]

After googling on this error some time and i found a solution.

SOLUTION: 

My server is 64 bit one and it doesn't have 64 bits version of libstdc++.

Install 64 bit version of libstdc++ using below commnand:

sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64

After successful install locate libstdc++ in /usr/lib64/

-bash-4.1$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libstd*

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     18 Jun  6 14:56 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 825480 Jun 28  2010 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5.0.7

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     19 Mar 11 16:22 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.13

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 989840 Oct 18  2012 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.13

-bash-4.1$ 

Now restart apache and comes up fine:

-bash-4.1$ sudo /sbin/service httpd restart
