I did see the reply about checking the perl path; this is for people who
run into other "no such file" problems. If the path fix hadn't worked,
my next step would have been adding vhosts to the test server and seeing
if I could get them both to fail in the same way.
We've had similar problems, and replacing the program with a call to
truss helps us troubleshoot:
root# mv /path/to/apache /path/to/apache.bin
root# cat /path/to/apache
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/truss -o /tmp/apache$$ -f /path/to/apache.bin
exit 1
I hadn't thought of that last trick- good one.
I was really tired so I guess I wasn't thinking too straight, but the
fact that the logs were showing no such file for say
/twiki/bin/configure was really only making me think of the configure
script file- not that it couldn't find the interpreter- so my attention
was focused on that. The fact perl was on a slight different path was
not really registering at the time at all. Very misleading for the tired
and weary... :)
I had considered running the test server in exactly the same form as the
production, but that was going to be my very last resort and after a
very long sleep!
Moral of the story: Don't try diagnostics when you're so tired that you
can't see straight, let alone think straight. You'll miss the small
details that can make a huge difference ;)
Cheers
