Howdy all -
I've been trying to install apache-1.3.20/mod_perl-1.26 along with a
whole pile of custom modules I use. I have no less than eight other
installations running this same configuration (although the reference
platform is apache-1.3.19/mod_perl-1.25) and none of them have this
problem I'm running into.
I have a module that defines several 'first class' apache directives
called 'Toolbox::Apache::Config.pm'. My other installations have NO
problem with this module, but when I try to load the thing in my
freshly compiled and installed httpd my config directives are flagged
as invalid. This module was originally written using my (EXTREMELY
dog-eared - thanks Lincoln and Doug!) Eagle book for reference, and
it appears that the mechanism has been streamlined in recent releases
of mod_perl. Namely, using the Apache::ModuleConfig() mechanism is
the 'new' method of handling these directives rather than the 'older'
methods. Additionally, upon scrounging through mailing lists and the
guide, I discovered that newer versions of mod_perl prefer using
"PerlModule Toolbox::Apache::Config" in the config file rather than
"use Toolbox::Apache::Config;" in the startup.pl file. Upon changing,
I get segfaults...
I tried re-writing my module using the (newer) method discussed in
the guide, and upon run I get undefined versions on the PerlModule
line. I'm at a loss at this point and have been tearing my hair out
for more than three days... Am I just missing something so obvious
I'll look like an ass or did something fundamental change here that
I'm not seeing (or finding on the guild/mailing lists)?
