Joe Your problem is with the RPMs that you're using (I bet). I am guessing you're using the pre-built ones that come with RH6.1, right? Don't be fooled... these are buggy. You solution is extremely simple and will only take a short time if you follow the instructions: 1. Use "rpm -e" to remove mod_perl and mod_php, then remove apache. 2. DOWNLOAD THE SOURCES for Apache 1.3.12 and mod_perl 1.24 3. Build them from the source tarballs. You probably want to enable "EVERYTHING" when you build mod_perl. Make sure you build a new apache executable with mod_perl statically linked in. This apache executable takes a bit more RAM but it's faster and way more stable. 4. To make sure that your new httpd has mod_perl built in, execute httpd -l and it should list its modules. If mod_perl appears, you're golden. 5. Remove all the LoadModule and AddModule stuff from your httpd.conf, restart apache, and if it doesn't work, I'd be very surprised... I had the same problem as you (although it was LinuxPPC2000). As did many others in the past (do a search for "SIGSEGV" or "core dump" or "segmentation fault" in the mailing list archives...), and it's a bummer of a bug because it doesn't bite you until you try something slightly difficult (uhhhhh, like "PerlModule Apache::DBI") and it explodes. cheers kyle -- kyle dawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Brenner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 19:43 Subject: Trouble setting up mod_perl and name-based virtual hosts > > I've run into problems adding virtual hosts to a machine > where I've already got mod_perl working, but I'm having > some trouble pinning it down, because apache just seems to > die silently without giving me any hints in the error_log. > > It definitely does have something to do with an interaction > with mod_perl though, because if I comment out "AddModule > mod_perl.c" I can at least get apache to restart (though I > guess whether the vhosts are working is another question). > > Does anyone out there have some sucessful examples of > httpd.conf files for mod_perl+vhost sites that they can > point me at?
