Start again. It's not a big deal to delete everything in the source
directories, untar the archives and rebuild. I always like to put a
file called "makpl_args.mod_perl" in the mod_perl directory. The best
arrangement for the directories seems to be something like:
/home/ian/src/apache_1.3.9
/home/ian/src/mod_perl-1.25
so makepl_args.mod_perl is in fact
/home/ian/src/mod_perl-1.25/makepl_args.mod_perl
Then all you have to do is:
% cd /home/ian/src/mod_perl
% make
% make test
% su root
# make install
Make sure you haven't got a copy of Apache already running when you
start all this, RedHat has one already in there for you but I've never
liked the way it starts things up - tries to do too much for you which
is very confusing when you're new to it all.
My makepl_args.mod_perl is below, don't include the ruled lines!
You might want to tweak it a little. Come back if you have any trouble.
When you put the machine on the net, make sure you upgrade ftpd, the
version of ftpd which comes with RH6.2 has a nasty hole in it. You
need the lreply-buffer-overflow-patch.
