Things are just not working together. Originally I had perl 5.6.1/ apache1.3/mysql4.0.12/ mason1.22/and various mod's. At one point I thought that I had "mod-perl" installed but it seems as if I had some selected modules and not mod-perl itself installed.
I upgraded to perl 5.8 and realized that mod-perl needs to be installed specifically with apache and things appeared to be better. Then I ran the apache::bundle from cpn and it installed various mods with some exceptions...but not all of the mod's. All in all I don't think perl is installed/config properly and its causing problems with my mod_perl/apache install and causing the mod installs to bomb. So my question is how does perl 5.8 have to be installed; ie what configurations need to be set before make...in order to install mod_perl1/apache1.3. Also I want to upgrade MySql to v 4.0.14 bc .12 is supposed to be doing some freaky ordering things that were resolved in .14...Should this be done before I start on the Perl/mod/apache/mason? Since everything is basically needed to be reinstalled, I'm thinking about just going to modperl2/apache2...although still unsure; but now would be the time to do so. Is this a better route? rrr...and I suppose while I'm at it I should re-build mason after all is said and done tks -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Wiggins d'Anconia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 6:12 PM To: Hodge, Jeff F (ECIII) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: installing perl mod's Hodge, Jeff F (ECIII) wrote: > > I'm having trouble installing certain modules...they bomb out during the > make process....see attachments. > > perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::Cookie' > perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql' > > > This should work other modules where installed and work fine using the same > methodology.

Do you have the mysql client installed? If so did you install the development packages as well if you didn't install from source? If so where on your system is the program 'mysql_config'? On my RH9.0 install it is in /usr/bin.... In the second case it appears that 'mod_perl' is a prerequisite, do you have it installed? Where is it located? http://danconia.org
