I am running a dual processor PowerPC and have had mod_perl running for
almost two years with no problems. One of the applications that I have
been running is WebGUI (content management system). When I upgraded to
the most recent version of WebGUI it had me install a bunch of Perl
packages (http://www.plainblack.com/installing_webgui) and while I was
doing that I somehow (maybe one of the packages required it?) ended up
doing a recompile of mod_perl. Now I get the error ‘R_PPC_REL24 –
Cannot load mod_perl.so into server’ (my abbreviated version of the error).
Worst case, you'll have to resync your compiles of perl, httpd,
mod_perl, and WebGui.
P_PPC_REL24 has something to do with addressing size on shared modules
when running PowerPC as your CPU. In other places on the web I have
found that people are saying that if you compile with ‘-fpic’ or ‘-fPIC’
that it will solve this problem. I am not sure the difference between
‘fpic’ and ‘fPIC’ and maybe that has something to do with this.
Unfortunately, when I look at the Makefile I see that fpic is already
there as a compiler option as ‘CCCDLFLAGS = -fpic’.
cccdlflags='-DPIC -fPIC', lddlflags='-shared -L/usr/local/lib
Its probably closer to what you want ... look at
perl -V:cccdlflags
or
perl -V
for hints
This box is a production box that includes a perl based Ecommerce system
(Interchange) so I have to tread kind of lightly on my perl and apache
installations but I desperately need to get this going.
mod_perl 2.0.2
perl 5.8.6
Did you install the SPRINTF buffer overflow security patch part of 5.8.8
http://dev.perl.org/perl5/news/2005/perl_patches_fix_sprintf_buffer.html
apache 2.0.50
That version of apache is 2+ years old... upgrade.
Technically, your combo is supposed to work though.
