Are you using the mason-handler supplied with Mason? Or did you extend it already?
I have had similar problems, and it turned out my customized mason-handler had some inconsistencies concerning sessions handling. After I cleaned that up everything was fine again. You could try to make a very minimized mason-handler and see what that brings. I know you wanna extend it to have your site running - but it could help just to try and pin point the fault. Also it could be worth looking into installing only HTML::Mason and not the Bundle. Maybe a few other modules... but do it by hand - one by one. I recently updated perl and all modules including Mason and Bundle::HTML::Mason also tried to install perl 5.6.1 again. Frankly I cannot remember exactly what I did to avoid that - but I might have installed the modules by hand again. I hope this will give you a few hints on what to try. BTW, in my httpd.conf I use "PerlRequire /path/to/my/mason-handler.pl" and not the suggested syntax from the latest Mason. Mainly because it's my old mason-handler shined up. That will most likely not give any difference to you, but Mason can be tricky at times. I was looking for a way to enable debugging on Mason, but I couldn't find it. I'm sure it exists - so I'll be digging the man pages next time I have problems. Right now my system is working fine; so - if it's not broken, don't try to fix it ;) Best regards Nicolai Schlenzig nicolai.schlenzig(at)got2get.net --- This mail does not reflect my company's oppinion on the subject in question but is my personal response and cannot be held against my company in any way. > -----Original Message----- > From: Francesc Guasch Ortiz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 11:12 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: apache dies silently at start with perl-5.6.1 rpm > > > I'm testing the latest perl rpms from redhat updates: > perl-5.6.1-26.72.3 > mod_perl-1.26-2 > > I'm using HTML::Mason. > > When I start apache it just dies silently without complaining > and I got nothing in the logs. > > I even tried to remove the former perl and modules.
