Hello all, I have recompiled mod_perl/apache with PERL_DEBUG=1 running gdb httpd followed by run httpd -X produces the following output: startup.pl is attempting to modify the include path... startup.pl is attempting to modify the include path... Program received signal SIGSEGV, segmentation fault 0x807ca20 in perl_handler_ismethod() (It is interesting that the "...modification..." line appears twice. I added it (once only!) to the beginning of my startup.pl so that I could see if it was being found. It somehow seems to be being found more than I expected!) bt produces: #0 0x807ca20 in perl_handler_ismethod() #1 0x807d2c4 in perl_call_handler() #2 0x807ce36 in perl_run_stacked_handler() #3 0x807bb7d in perl_handler() #4 0x8096af3 in ap_invoke_handler() #5 0x80aa0f9 in ap_some_auth_required() #6 0x80aa15c in ap_process_request() #7 0x80a1a0e in ap_child_terminate() #8 0x80a1b9c in ap_child_terminate() #9 0x80a1cf9 in ap_child_terminate() #10 0x80a2326 in ap_child_terminate() #11 0x80a2ab3 in main() #12 0x400d31eb in --libc_start_main (main=0x80a276c <main>, argc=3, argv=0xbffffce4, init=0x8061f9c <_init>, fini=0x8136d7c <_fini>, rtld_fini=0x4000a610 <_dl_fini>, stack_end=0xbffffcdc) at ../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:90 If this makes sense to anybody please drop me a line, I've read all the way through chapters 1-6 and I'm itching to try out some code... just can't get the setup straight :0 Thanks, Greg PS. Here is the config again, just to be sure: Perl 5.6.0 Apache 1.3.12 mod_perl-1.24 ServerRoot is /usr/local/apache underneath which I have created the lib/perl/Apache tree for holding mod_perl modules, and dutifully entered the required code in a file called Hello.pm in this directory. DocumentRoot is /usr/local/apache/htdocs in httpd.conf I have added the following: ------------------------------ <IfModule mod_perl.c> Include conf/perl.conf </IfModule> ------------------------------ conf/perl.conf looks like this: ------------------------------ PerlRequire conf/startup.pl PerlFreshRestart On <Location /hello/world> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Hello </Location> ------------------------------- and startup.pl looks like this: ------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/perl print "\n\tstartup.pl is attempting to modify the include path...\n\n"; BEGIN { use Apache(); use lib Apache->server_root_relative('lib/perl'); } use Apache::Registry use Apache::Constants use CGI qw(-compile :all); use CGI::Carp; 1; ------------------------------
