I'm trying to compile modperl-2.0_20050305233800 with Apache 2.0.47 on OS X.2.8 and I'm getting at the beginning of `make test':
--------------------------------------------------------------- waiting 120 seconds for server to start: .Syntax error on line 2164 of /Users/phil/Desktop/modperl-2.0/t/conf/httpd.conf: <Perl> directive missing closing '>' ......................................................................................................................... waiting 120 seconds for server to start: not ok [ error] giving up after 121 secs. If you think that your system is slow or overloaded try again with a longer timeout value. by setting the environment variable APACHE_TEST_STARTUP_TIMEOUT to a high value (e.g. 420) and repeat the last command. [ error] server failed to start! (t/logs/error_log wasn't created, start the server in the debug mode) +--------------------------------------------------------+ | Please file a bug report: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ | +--------------------------------------------------------+ make: *** [run_tests] Error 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------- I've set a longer time-out value, used Apache::Test to start the server successfully and read all the docs and material I can find but am stuck. FYI I'm using Perl 5.8.6 and my makefile path is: /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/Library/Apache2/bin/apxs Any help appreciated. Cheers, Regards, Phil.
