2. Having completed the first step of the build (perl Makefile.pl...) I am back to the second error as reported in my original post. It occurs in the test cycle of the make && make test phase, as follows:
/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -d /root/modperl-2.0/t -f
/root/modperl-2.0/t/conf/httpd.conf -DAPACHE2 -DPERL_USEITHREADS using
Apache/2.0.47 (prefork MPM)
waiting for server to start: .Syntax error on line 11 of
/root/modperl-2.0/t/conf/httpd.conf:
module access_module is built-in and can't be loaded
!!!
server has died with status 255 (t/logs/error_log wasn't created, start
the server in the debug mode)
make: *** [run_tests] Error 143
[EMAIL PROTECTED] modperl-2.0]#
Before I start hacking at files used to generate the test conf, I need to understand what's up. Prior to running the make, I stopped my .45 version of httpd and removed the earlier mod_perl library. Am I running in to other modules that I need to remove before running make?
What happens is that Apache::Test tries to inherit the configuration from the system-wide httpd.conf. So if you have any LoadModule directives, it'll move them to t/conf/httpd.conf that it generates.
I think what happened in your case is that you previously has built httpd with shared objects (one of them was mod_access.c), so it created the global httpd.conf with directive 'LoadModule access_module mod_access.so', next you probably built httpd again but this time has compiled mod_access statically. However when you run 'make install', apache build system won't overwrite the existing httpd.conf file, so you have left with invalid directives in the file.
I'm pretty sure that if you try to start httpd normally (without mod_perl) it'll fail with the same error. If that's the case, just nuke that global httpd.conf and run 'make install' from the httpd-2.0.47 directory again. then return to run 'make test' in the mod_perl directory.
Meanwhile I'll patch Apache::Test to put LoadModule directives inside <IfModule ...> so this problem affect Apache::Test.
The current cvs should now handle this "user" problem transparently
