Apache 1.3.27 Problems on Solaris 8

Attempting to start apache via /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start.
Receive error message as follows:

ld.so.1: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: libexpat.so.0: open
failed: No such file or directory
Killed
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: http could not be started

In addition, I have verified that the error log via the httpd.conf
file should be written to the default location,
/usr/local/apache/logs/ but there is no error_log.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

See what:
ldd /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
reveals. My setup is somewhat different but you should see something like:
libaprutil-0.so.0 => /opt/apache2/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0
libexpat.so.0 => /opt/apache2/lib/libexpat.so.0
libapr-0.so.0 => /opt/apache2/lib/libapr-0.so.0
etc.
You'll probably see "file not found" messages. That means the app
wasnt compiled correctly but you can employ workarounds found in
"man ld.so.1" or "man crle"
It better to set LD_RUN_PATH before you compile the source or
add appropriate -L -R flags at your ./configure run

pre packaged apache 1.3.28 is available from www.blastwave.org

Fix the loading problem first..
