Might have figured out the problem, and it might be an apache issue
dealing with largefiles:
I compiled apache cleanly as:
./configure \
"--with-layout=Apache" \
"--prefix=/usr/local/apache2" \
"--enable-module=most" \
"--enable-shared=max" \
This worked. 'apachectl configtest' did not complain.
Then I compiled mod_perl as:
$ perl Makefile.PL \
USE_APXS=1 \
WITH_APXS=/path/to/bin/apxs \
EVERYTHING=1 \
And I got the following error message:
Your Perl is uselargefiles enabled, but Apache is not, suggestions:
*) Rebuild Apache with CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
*) Rebuild Perl with Configure -Uuselargefiles
*) Let mod_perl build Apache (USE_DSO=1 instead of USE_APXS=1)
So I cleand and compiled apache again, but enabling these CFLAGS.
Apache chocked on mod_negotiation.
Any ideas now ???
