Hi All, I have searched around the archives, but haven't been able to find an answer to my problem (flame me if I have totally overlooked something! :) )
I have two machines, ones a Dell 1650 dual P4 processor 1Gb RAM, and the second is a Dell 2450 dual P3 processor 1Gb RAM, both have RAID etc, and are very similar machines, other than one being older than the other. The idea is that the Dell 2450 is my primary Apache web server, and I have an identical Apache web server set up on the Dell 1650 that acts as a backup - if the 2450 goes down for some reason, I can manually point our firewall to the 1650 while I fix the 2450. I have done identical installations of SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional on both machines, leaving out all apahce, mod_*'s and php rpms. I then downloaded Apache 1.3.26, mod_perl 1.27, mod_ssl 2.8.10-1.3.26, OpenSSL 0.9.6g and PHP 4.2.2. I started on the backup 1650 server, and installed all the software using these rules for mod_perl and Apache (I can post the configure rules for the other software if its needed) perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING = 1 APACHE_SRC = ../apache_1.3.26/src/ USE_APACI = 1 PREP_HTTPD = 1 DO_HTTPD = 1 ...and didn't compile as its going to get done with Apache's make later.... SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.6g ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache/ --enable-module=env --enable-module=setenvif --enable-module=mime --enable-module=mime_magic --enable-module=negotiation --enable-module=alias --enable-module=userdir --enable-module=dir --enable-module=autoindex --enable-module=access --enable-module=auth --enable-module=asis --enable-module=include --enable-module=cgi --enable-module=actions --enable-module=status --enable-module=info --enable-module=log_config --enable-module=imap --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --enable-module=ssl --enable-shared=max --disable-shared=perl Then did my make, make certificates, make install.... This worked great on the Dell 1650 and I have had it running my sites for a few weeks now. I have now started to do the same install for the Dell 2450... I followed my instructions and everything compiles and installs great.... ....however, when I try to start the server I get the "Apache.pm failed to load!." error in my error_log file! I have re-configured/make'd etc. around 3 times just to make sure that I haven't done any thing differently. I am 99% confident that these installs are identical other than the hardware, and the Apache install works on one, and not the other! I have tried http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/troubleshooting.html#_Apache_pm_failed_to_load__ and it then gives a different error : Starting Apache : [Mon Oct 7 09:01:34 2002] [error] Can't locate Apache.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . /usr/local/apache/ /usr/local/apache/lib/perl) at (eval 2) line 3.

I have no idea why this isn't working. As far as I am concerned, its a brand new install, identical to the pervious one, and I have used the exact same process as before, one worked, the other didn't! Can anyone help me work out whats broken? -- Thanks, Andrew McCall Internet/Linux System Administrator I.C.T.
