I have a completely functional version of Apache running, but Iım trying to
upgrade the system by reinstalling Apache and mod_perl to create a fresh
beginning for to better diagnose my OSX mod_perl issues. For some reason Iım
getting a Makefile.PL build problem that I donıt understand. Iım getting an
³unknown option² error which looks like this:
Unknown option: 1
Usage: head [-options] <url>...
-m <method> use method for the request (default is 'HEAD')
-f make request even if head believes method is illegal
-b <base> Use the specified URL as base
-t <timeout> Set timeout value
.. (much more below)
I get this 17 times during a normal Makefile.PL command when trying to
integrate anything with the apache source code. This includes open_ssl, and
other modules. This is with virgin Apache code 1.3.29 and 1.3.33. Iım not
sure what Iım doing wrong. Iıve never had an unsuccessful build of Apache
before. I reinstalled Apache on Panther once I rebuilt my harddrive and its
been working beautifully ever since. There is serious speculation that OSX
10.3 shipped with conflicting versions of Apache and mod_perl, so Iım trying
to rebuild this with versions that are known to be compatible.
Any insight would be great. I think Iıve read every posted webpage on mother
Earth regarding these issues, but no one seems to know the full skinny. I
promise to summarize and report back and solutions that I find.
Best,
Mark
