Tom: No, same error_log as usual. I think this problem may have something to do with my host. I am on a "virtual private server", not dedicated, although, I do have root access.
The way they configure the servers load in a portion of the mod_perl directives before my Location block, i.e., my vhosts.conf call looks like this: # mod_perl setup Alias /perl /usr/local/www/vhosts/host.com/perl PerlSetEnv PERLDB_OPTS "NonStop=1 LineInfo=/tmp/db.out AutoTrace=1 frame=2" PerlModule Apache::DB PerlWarn On PerlTaintCheck On <Location "/perl"> PerlFixupHandler Apache::DB SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader Off </Location> # end mod_perl setup Notice that I do NOT need to call PerlModule Apache::Registry. It is already loaded. I may give up on the startup.pl file and simply add a <Perl>...</Perl> section directly. Will this solve the problem?
