[...]I have installed Mandrake 9.1, and in the installation I asked it to also install Apache 2, mod_perl, mysql.
5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache2/Apache
that does not contain an Registry module.
See: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html#C_Apache__Registry___C_Apache__PerlRun__and_Friends
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?)
Yes. And you want to install mod_perl 1.99_12 released a week ago to avoid all the bugs that were resolved since 1.99_08.
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.
You use a prebuilt package by Mandrake, I suppose that they provide their own installation notes. We can't possibly know what each distro does if they don't follow the standard way.
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.
See above. It's ModPerl::Registry. [...]
And some apache questions:
Apache questions belong to the Apache users list: http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users
2. I don't have a util named "apxs". is it important?
It's useful for 3rd party modules. I think you do have it. Some distros call it apxs2.
What annoy me the most is that I still haven't wrote a single line in perl. didn't breach the installation stage. ufff.
You are much better off removing modperl binaries and building your own. In which case the docs at http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/ will answer all your questions.
