Hello There.
I have installed Mandrake 9.1, and in the installation I asked it to also install Apache 2, mod_perl, mysql. now I want to make them all work. I took stason's pages, and there he said to write in the httpd.conf (with is in my system httpd2.conf) a loadmodule line. no good - the apache didn't find the module. a little search - the mod_perl module is in different folder. (something extena) tried to copy the mod_perl file to the apache's modules files did worked, but everything else I tried trigered "couldn't find" errors. the perl is in the folder: /usr/lib/perl5/ and have three sub-folders: 5.8.0, vendor_perl, site_perl the second have: 5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache2/Apache that does not contain an Registry module. My apache identify itself as: Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.44 (Mandrake Linux/11mdk) mod_perl/1.99_08 Perl/v5.8.0 mod_ssl/2.0.44 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP/4.3.1 So, it seen that I have mod_perl 2. (that what 1.99 means, doesn't it?) the apache modules are in: /usr/lib/apache2-2.0.44/ and the mod_perl is in: /usr/lib/apache2-extramodules-2.0.44/ so I put in the apache httpd2.conf the line: LoadModule perl_module extramodules/mod_perl.so instead of: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so and suprizingly, apache did found the mod_perl file. So, I inserted another line: PerlRequire /etc/httpd/..../apache2-startup.pl (well, now I'm guessing. didn't write the real file name/path, but it's something like that) And now, Apache refuse to start, and state the he cann't find Apache/Registry. I chacked, and he's right - there is no Registry module under Apache that under Apache2 folder. on the other hand, cann't find anyone that calls that module. the @INC contain the Apache2 folder, and also an /var/www/perl/.mod_perl2 folder. The questions are: 1. Did I do the right thing in the extramodules thing? (I was totally guessing) 2. Who is calling the Registry module? 3. Where is that module, and how do I make Apache know that? And some apache questions: 1. how do I get a list of all the modules that apache loaded? (the dynamic ones, not the static) 2. I don't have a util named "apxs". is it important? What annoy me the most is that I still haven't wrote a single line in perl. didn't breach the installation stage. ufff.
