in the hope of making a new beginning... I finally got mod_perl/Apache working per Randal's instruction.
A few wrinkles have appeared since... 1. DBI (specifically DBD::mysql) has stopped working now. No error, nothing. Just nothing. Having read that things need to be compiled against each other, perhaps I need to re-install DBI/DBD. Question: How do I force CPAN to reinstall an existing module? If I say 'install Bundle::DBI' it tells me I am already up-to-date. If I say 'clean Bundle::DBI' it croaks about there not being any install directory (forget the exact error). Needless to say, CPAN doesn't seem to have an obvious command called 'reinstall no matter what'. 3. I now have two copies of Apache... the stock one that came with OS X (under /private/...) and the new one I built with Randal's instructions... (that is under /usr/local/...). I tried to replace the Apple one with the new one, but that croaked in many places (I had to correct many different paths, and even then it was pointless because the next update from Apple would write over that). So, I have just disabled Apple's Apache and am working with my new one. Here's the problem... some of Apple's modules, specifically mod_hfs_apple.so, doesn't work anymore. Question: what does this module do? does it account for hfs case-sensitivity? Do I need it? If yes, where do I get one and how do I build it for my new Apache?
