I want to run a tiles server with OSM data

But when i do the

./configure

It says

checking for getloadavg... yes
checking for apxs... no
checking for apxs2... no
checking for /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs... no
configure: error: Could not find apxs on the path.

According to the Internets you need to install apache2-dev (previously known as apache2-devel). The apx binary should then be located under /usr/bin/apxs2 or /usr/sbin/apxs2.

Note: For building a tile server you should follow the guide on switch2osm.
