Thank you for your quick answer. Is any way to find the thread about this issue quickly? I got most recent modperl and apache. I did all as you said as root. But test is always problem. I has another machine. The machine has no problem for any version modperl and apache at all, always pass test. I guess that we missed something. But it does not make sense because this professional OS redhat6.2 is preinstalled on machine, should include all necessary libraries... I have no idea, compiler does not complain any thing, even no warnings or errors... For redhat modperl rpm installation, i did not put PerlModule Apache::DBI httpd.conf. Why i still can connect database(most time it is fine, but sometimes it is not fine.) because i put PerlModule Apache::DBI in httpd.conf. The web server does not startup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Steven.
