Yes of course I have perl installed. I even posted my output from perl -V
(see output below). I wound up giving up on the static mod_perl and built
it dynamically. I have it working...I think. I can get the httpd server to
start, and it loads the perl_module as well as Apache::Session and
Apache::DBI without complaining. When I try to access the page through a
browser though, I get an "Internal Server Error" which usually happens when
I have an error in the code (or at least, it happens on the machine that
this is running on right now. I'm trying to move the code over to a newer
machine...). At least httpd doesn't complain about the conf file when I
start it up though, and at least it's not timing out when I access the page
through a browser. I think I can get figure it out from here though. I'll
stick with dynamic modperl for right now and see what the performance is
like. If I need to, I'll make it static later. Thanks.

Subject: Re: I can't get mod_perl 2.0 working :(
Hi Brandon,
mod_perl : mod_perl-2.0.1
Apache : httpd-2.0.54
Do u have Perl Installed - Version 5.8.0 minimum or greater.
The actual building process is as follows : (1) APACHE (2) PERL (3) MOD_PERL
Plz don't extract all the tar.gz files at a stretch. Extract one after
the other. I mean, first extract httpd, build it and then extract
perl, build it and finally extract modperl.
So, First build Apache as follows : -
Extract in /usr/local/src and descend into the directory httpd-2.0.54
--prefix is the directory where u want to install apache. It is
recommeded that the directory where u want to install apache, install
modperl , install perl are all under one parent directory. So, create
a directory under /usr/local/src as apache2 and execute this command :
-
httpd-2.0.54# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/src/apache2 --with-mpm=prefork
Ofcourse , make && make install later in httpd-2.0.54
Download PERL from http://cpan.org/src/ - perl - 5.8.0 or greater.
Next , Extract it and create a seperate directory in /usr/local/src as
"perl" and descend into the directory which u had extracted and
execute : -
/Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr/local/src/perl -Dusethreads
Execute make && make test && make install
Before proceeding with the installation of mod_perl 2.0, it's
advisable to install at
least the LWP package into your newly installed Perl distribution so
that you can
fully test mod_perl 2.0 later. You can use CPAN.pm to accomplish that:
/usr/local/src/perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install("LWP")'
This takes atleast 20 min. to finish and u r prompted for a set of
commands and other questions. Choose Default ( Press Enter for every
question ). If prompted about the website for CPAN, Enter it as :
http://cpan.org
Finally, Build MOD_PERL as follows : -
Extract the directory modperl-2.0.1 and descend into the directory and
execute : -
/usr/local/src/modperl-2.0.1# perl Makefile.PL
MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/apache2
Now execute : make and then copy :
/usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so to /etc/httpd/modules and Enter
this line in httpd.conf
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
Now execute : make test and it should show u that " All tests successful "
Finally execute : make install

Hi everyone. I've tried using google, and posting on forums, and no one
seems to have an answer for me. Everything on google is all about using
apache 1.3 with mod_perl, and the stuff about 2.0 doesn't really give
detailed instructions about anything. So hopefully someone on here can
help. Please note that I really want STATIC mod_perl...there will be
quite
a few client connections hitting this box. Here's the scoop on the box:

Now here's what I've done thus far:
# perl -MCPAN -e shell (then I executed `install Bundle::Apache2` from
cpan)
Downloaded the latest mod_perl-2.0.1 from perl.apache.org, and
httpd-2.0.54
from httpd.apache.org. I put them in /usr/local/src and did the following:
# cd /usr/local/src
# tar -xzvf *.tar.gz
# cd mod_perl-2.0.1
# perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 \
MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/httpd-2.0.54 \
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork"
# make
# make install (this was all successful, and said it built mod_perl.a)
# cd ../httpd-2.0.54
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/bin/apache2
# make
# make install
Everything works now up to this point. But if I run `httpd -l` it does NOT
show mod_perl.c! I edited the httpd.conf file and when I try to start the
server with that file, it complains about my line "LoadModule perl_module
modules/mod_perl.so" because mod_perl.so doesn't exist. If I comment that
line out, it later complains about my two lines that say:
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlModule Apache::Session
which makes sense. My question is, any idea why mod_perl.so isn't getting
built and placed into the /usr/bin/apache2/modules directory? It should be
there because I've configured mod_perl with the exact options the
installation manual says to on perl.apache.org AND I point it to the
proper
apache src directory, so it should be passing in the proper options to
apache when I build that.
Here's what my httpd stuff looks like right now:

-D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"
Am I missing a step here or something? Or am I doing something I'm not
supposed to? If I remember correctly, to get this working with mod_perl
1.0
and apache1.3, one never actually compiled the stuff in the mod_perl
directory, but rather the configure script passed parameters to the httpd
src dir, and then when compiling httpd, it would link over to the modperl
stuff. It appears that I have to build mod_perl now. I'm not getting it
to
work either way though, so if anyone knows what's wrong, please let me
know.
I'm stumped! Thanks in advance!
