Dear mod_perl experts, I am trying to upgrade my mod_perl 1.99 from 09 to 12 on my Red Hat-9 box, but after upgrading Apache to 2.0.48 and Perl to 5.8.3 (both clean installs from source,) After a successful configure and make, the make test produces the error: "!!! server failed to start!". Alas, ps shows that the process indeed started.
I have uninstalled the Apache Red Hat RPM and searched for any leftover cruft. Apache is installed "apache-like" in /usr/local/apache2. I've appended highlights from the install process below. Anyone have some insights on this or troubleshooting suggestions? Thanks in advance, Edouard! :-) P.S. Yes, the original mod_perl 1.99_09 install was from source and all tests were successful. =============================================================== canebas.org [613]% perl Makefile.PL MP_INST_APACHE2=1 MP_APXS=/usr/local/ apache2/bin/apxs MP_APR_CONFIG=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apr-config Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV MP_INST_APACHE2 = 1 MP_APXS = /usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs MP_APR_CONFIG = /usr/local/apache2/bin/apr-config Configuring Apache/2.0.48 mod_perl/1.99_12 Perl/v5.8.3 Checking if your kit is complete...
