I'm not very familiar with UNIX but I believe I followed the instructions
exactly for installing mod_perl, and I still ran into the problem
below. (Since I'm not used to UNIX though, if you need me to post more
information, please specify as precisely as possible what I should type
since I won't know how to do things like "create a symbolic link to file
X", etc. I can copy files, switch directories, etc. but that's about it.)
I'm trying to install mod_perl 2.0.2 on a machine running "Fedora Core
release 3 (Heidelberg) Kernel 2.4.26-1um on an i686" with Apache/2.0.53.
I'm root in a virtual machine hosted by my ISP. I first tried to do
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=`which apxs`
make
make test
under my root directory, but during "make test" I got the following error
(everything between the ">>>>>" lines):
>>>>>
[warning] root mode: changing the files ownership to 'nobody' (99:99)
[warning] testing whether 'nobody' is able to -rwx /root/mod_perl-2.0.2/t
"/usr/bin/perl" -Mlib=/root/mod_perl-2.0.2/Apache-Test/lib
-MApache::TestRun -e 'eval { Apache::TestRun::run_root_fs_test(99, 99,
q[/root/mod_perl-2.0.2/t]) }';
[warning] result:
[ error] You are running the test suite under user 'root'.
Apache cannot spawn child processes as 'root', therefore
we attempt to run the test suite with user 'nobody' (99:99).
The problem is that the path (including all parent directories):
/root/mod_perl-2.0.2/t
must be 'rwx' by user 'nobody', so Apache can read and write under that
path.
There are several ways to resolve this issue. One is to move and
rebuild the distribution to '/tmp/' and repeat the 'make test'
phase. The other is not to run 'make test' as root (i.e. building
under your /home/user directory).
You can test whether some directory is suitable for 'make test' under
'root', by running a simple test. For example to test a directory
'/root/mod_perl-2.0.2/t', run:
% "/usr/bin/perl" -Mlib=/root/mod_perl-2.0.2/Apache-Test/lib
-MApache::TestRun -e 'eval { Apache::TestRun::run_root_fs_test(99, 99,
q[/root/mod_perl-2.0.2/t]) }';
Only if the test prints 'OK', the directory is suitable to be used for
testing.
Running the test suite is important to make sure that the module that
you are about to install works on your system. If you choose not to
run the test suite and you have a problem using this module, make sure
to return and run this test suite before reporting any problems to the
developers of this module.
Skip the test suite? [No]
>>>>>
So, following the directions as far as I understood them, I created a
directory /tmp/modperl2test/, moved the mod_perl-2.0.2.tar.gz file there,
extracted it, and tried again:
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=`which apxs`
make
make test
This time, "make test" produced so much output that it went past the buffer
of my telnet application, but the last output that it gave me was this:
