hi i've been writing back and forth with stas about getting make test to finish correctly.
i decided to try and let perl do as much of it as i could. here is my makepl_args.mod_perl: APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.29/src USE_APACI=1 USE_DSO=1 PERL_SSI=0 EVERYTHING=1 APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=ssl,--enable-module=rewrite,--enable-module=access,--enable-module=all,--enable-shared=max,--enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL i had to move mod_proxy above mod_ssl to get it to work [which it then did] in t/conf/httpd.conf. i made no other changes. i'm using mod_perl-1.29, apache 1.3.29, mod_ssl-2.8.16-1.3.29 on a gentoo box running a 2.4.17 kernel the last bit of output from 'make test' looks like this: cp t/conf/mod_perl_srm.conf t/conf/srm.conf ./apaci/load_modules.pl ../apache_1.3.29/src ../apache_1.3.29/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t & httpd listening on port 8529 will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log letting apache warm up...\c done /usr/bin/perl t/TEST 0 still waiting for server to warm up...............not ok server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log) at t/TEST line 95. make: *** [run_tests] Error 111 and this is what the error_log says: [notice] END block called for startup.pl [notice] Destruction->DESTROY called for $global_object [Thu Dec 11 16:27:49 2003] [warn] pid file /usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.29/t/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?
