After fighting with RedHat SWS and never being sure if what went wrong
was my scripts' fault or some wierdness in my
Apache/mod_perl/RedHat-SSL, I'm going to follow the instructions in the
guide to make my own. (Would have saved a lot of time if I just listened
to Stas and others 2 weeks ago.) Needless to say, if I really understood
what the heck I was doing with compiling C, I probably would have taken
this step before. I'm calling on the good nature of the folks on the
list to answer three more hidiously simple questions before proceding.
1) Am I correct in thinking that the current recommended versions of the
source code for the instuctions under "mod_perl and mod_ssl (+openssl)"
in the guide would be:
Apache 1.3.9 (I know they've released 1.3.11 but haven't some people had
problems visa vi mod_perl with this version?)
mod_perl 1.21
mod_ssl 2.4.10
OpenSSL 0.9.4
2) I am fairly familiar with RedHat's directory layout for installation
of Apache. Does " --with-layout=RedHat \" work for other ./configure
scripts or only mod_perl?
3) A question for Redhatters... Do I need to (should I) remake my own
perl too? I think RPM is going to whine hideously when I rpm -e perl.
Are there optimizations I can perform to make a better/faster binary
using the compiling tools in 6.1?
Thanks AGAIN for all the help and patience,
John Walker
