Actually I run into the problem before I get to the Apache::MP3 part but running Apache::MP3 is the ultimate goal.
The distro I'm trying is Red Hat 8.0 which includes apache 2.x.x, mod_perl 1.99 and perl 5.8.0 but Apache::MP3 requires the 1.0 mod_perl API. I tried to use the Apache::compat module as suggested by the Namp! web site <http://namp.sourceforge.net/> to make it compatible with the 1.0 API but that didn't seem to work. I get "failed to resolve handler `Apache::MP3'" in the httpd/error_log when trying to load the directory Apache::MP3 is set to handle. I would just as soon not use Apache 2 anyway so I tried installing apache-1.3.27 and mod_perl-1.27, following the instructions in INSTALL.simple, included in the mod_perl source. Unfortunately when I add the following to httpd.conf, the apachectl configtest segfaults: <Location /Songs> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::MP3 </Location> /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl: line 171: 999 Segmentation fault $HTTPD -t The segfault is not caused by the PerlHandler, it still happens if there's only the SetHandler line. I have successfully run Apache::MP3 on a Red Hat 7.3 configuration but I'd like to use Red Hat 8.0 because of a number of the updates included the current version of perl. This page compares the versions of the relevant components (as far as I can tell) and the output of httpd -V, httpd -l, and perl -V on the Red Hat 8.0 and Red Hat 7.3 machines. <http://stream.esm.rochester.edu/trouble/stream80_vs_stream73.html> I should also mention that on Red Hat 8.0 if I do not select the "Web Server" set of packages, Apache 2.0 is still installed but mod-perl 1.99 is not. I don't *think* that should make a difference but I can't tell. Does anyone know a specific cause of this problem? What's my best option, do a different compile of apache & mod_perl? Could I upgrade Red Hat 7.3 to 8.0 and retain my apache configuration but end up with perl 5.8.0? -- Curtis Wilcox Eastman School of Music [EMAIL PROTECTED]
