Hello, I am posting this matter to the list because it takes so long from my end of the world to download the relevant information for trouble shooting. My problem is as follows:
I downloaded mod_perl-1.26 and apache_1.3.24 in May this year. I followed all the instructions in the mod_perl guide on how to set up the server and had it running successfully without any problems. Now I decided to upgrade to mod_perll-1.27 and apache_1.3.26. I downlloaded from the mirror site at nagoya. I am following the same instructions which are, after uncompressing them: 1. perl Makefile.PL APACH_SRC = ../apache_1.3.26/src \ DO_HTTPD = 1 USE_APACI = 1 EVERYTHING = 1 Everthing goes smoothly. Then: 2. make && make test && make install The executiion is smooth until the test part which I believe fails and hence the install leg is aborted? The error output at the end is: ../apache_1.3.26/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t & httpd listening on port 8529 will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log letting apache warm up...\c done /usr/bin/perl t/TEST 0 still waiting for server to warm up...............not ok server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log) at t/TEST line 95. make: *** [run_tests] Error 9 The t/logs/error_log reads [notice] Destruction->DESTROY called for $global_object Prototype mismatch: sub Socket::INADDR_ANY vs () at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/Socket.pm line 328.

Then I backup into the apache_1.3.26 directory and issue make install I am congratulated for a successful installation. 4.

Apache.pm failed to load!. I think the failure is due to incomplete mod_perl installation. As I pointed out earlier, the earlier versions of mod_perl and apache were installed successfully. I was configuring the httpd.conf file to run some cgi scripts which did not execute very well but I think can fix that. I've spent the past 48 hours trying to trouble shoot the trouble as much as I can but access to information is so very frustrating from this end of the world.. I am using Perl 5.6.1 on Linux 7.1. I installed the mod_perl and apache packages which came with the box but did not use them so had them unstalled. Any pointers to where I can start meaningful trouble-shooting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Alfred Vahau School of Natural and Physical Sciences Uni. PNG
