I want to upgrade the mod_perl to the latest mod_perl2 from mod_perl-1.99_07-5 to mod_perl-199_10 (same as mod_perl-2.0-current?)
My system as canned installation from redhat: -redhat 9 -httpd-2.0.40-21.5 (apache) -mod_perl-1.99_07-5 -php-4.2.2-17.2 I don't know too much about rpm and I can't find one that is later than what is already installed. So, I will download the mod_perl source, rpm -e mod_perl, and try to install with instructions as below INSTALL. Here are my questions: -Is removing the existig mod_perl with rpm remove affect php? -My redhat installed does have the the following: /usr/sbin/apxs /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_perl.so -Do I need the source or just the apxs? -Giving my canned redhat installation should my setting be MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs? -anything else or that's all? thanks, rkl mod_perl INSTALL file --------------------- Simple install: % perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs % make && make test % make install If Apache was built but not installed yet or if apxs is not available and Apache was installed under a single tree (e.g., /usr/local/apache2), you should use the MP_AP_PREFIX option, which points that the Apache tree: % perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache2 See docs/user/install/install.pod for details. Simple config: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so If the MP_INST_APACHE2=1 option was given to Makefile.PL, you'll want to configure: PerlModule Apache2 For compat with the 1.x version, you'll want to configure: PerlModule Apache::compat See docs/user/config/config.pod for details.
