Hello collective wisdom, I have the task of making Apache, mod_perl, and HTML::Mason work together under RedHat. I know this is a problem; the most frequently recommended solution that I've found is to build everything from scratch and link it all together, without using DSOs. However, my constraints are that all configuration management must be handled using RPMs, because we have a multitude of web servers that must all be maintained in parallel. My order of preference is for using downloadable binary RPMs, followed by using SRPMs and building from scratch, and finally followed by rolling my own RPMs.
So I have a couple of questions that I'm currently researching, and if anybody here knows the answers, I'd be grateful to hear them: First, is there a known good binary RPM configuration, a combination of mod_perl and apache RPMs, from RedHat or another vendor that doesn't suffer from the silent-segfault problem? Second, is it possible that building from source RPMs would prevent the problem? Occasionally I've seen problems like this arise due to differing versions of the toolchain, and building from source RPMs would ensure that the same toolchain was used to build all of the components. If I find answers to these questions elsewhere before I receive answers from this list, I'll follow up to myself and share the wisdom. Thanks, Charlton -- Charlton Wilbur [EMAIL PROTECTED]
