Your instructions follow this, and this is what I followed. However, you've heard my results. There are a few updates however, when I copied the apache httpd module to /usr/sbin, mod_perl's configuration step worked without the apxs warning, make and make install took longer, and Perlsetenv & perlhandler commands worked. hello.world works. This tells me that either there is a problem with mod_perl's Makefile.PL, or (more likely) there is something leftover from the original apache/modperl rpms, which is causing havoc with mod_perl's Makefile.PL, and screwing up the install. Even though hello world is working, the make test is still failing as it was before. Further, there is a libperl.a in apache/src/modules/. >It sounds like you on a RH Linux box that has (or had) the rpm Apache >distro installed. Make it go away. It's a bad thing IMHO. Yup. I had done the rpm -e apache mod_perl. I didnt see any parts left over. I dont have the option of reinstalling the os. I had to do the apache source because I needed suexec, and you cant get there from the rpms. <snip> >You shouldn't even be at item 4 unless you get past make test with no >errors.

I didnt test combinations of these settings. without this, none of the loadmodule/addmodule directives in the httpd.conf worked. On the various lists to which I tried to get help, the silence was deafening. I might try to play with these. What does your httpd.conf look like? Loadmodule/Addmodule? I do a lot of webhosting, with a ton of namevirtualhosts, cgi-bins, and .htaccess files. >Jeff Beard > Thanks. jr John Riehl IBucks, Inc. Beverly Hills, Ca.
