Hi there,

I'm running Linux Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26

I'm trying to write a simple web (perl) application
that accesses a mysql database. I'm using DBI(). When I access the site under normal Perl it works. When I access the site under Mod_Perl I get:
child pid 20524 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /usr/local/apache
You should upgrade both Apache and mod_perl to the latest releases, 1.3.29 and 1.29, although that's unlikely to fix your segfault by itself. You don't say how mod_perl was compiled (nor who compiled it) I'd recommend static if possible. You must use the same compiler (I always use gcc, try something like 3.2.x or 3.3.2 if you can but 2.95 is OK for example) to compile Perl and mod_perl. You don't say which versions of Perl, MySQL and DBI you're using, but check they're up to date too. If you're using Perl 5.005_03 that's fine, but don't use 5.6.0. If you're using 5.8.0 right now you're probably best advised to wait for Perl 5.8.2, as 5.8.1 has a few issues - but it does work OK. You don't say what the machine is, I guess it's a PC. No problems there unless you're short on memory, how much have you got? Are you using PHP?
Does anyone have any ideas or links to help with Mod_Perl and MySQL running together?
It's a very common and very reliable setup, I and many others have been using it for years, with many different versions of Apache, mod_perl and mysql on many different machines. There are no real problems them working together.
