I am attempting to install mod_perl on a SUSE Linux 2.6.6-7 dual
processor machine. It already has Apache 2.0.49 and Perl 5.8.3
installed. In fact, it already had perl_mod 1.x installed, but I decided
to install perl_mod 2.0.3.
I copied mod_perl.so to /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_perl.so and made a
symbolic link to /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod_perl.so. I modified
/etc/sysconfig/apache2 so that APACHE_MODULES includes "perl".
I was able to successfully install Mason 1.36 and mod_perl 2.0.3, I
tried to go through the documentation, and found out about the renaming.
However, when I restarted Apache, I got the error that
/etc/apache2/mod_perl-startup.pl failed.
I eliminated the "use Apache2 ();" statement and changed all instances
of "Apache" to "Apache2" (which I believe I was suppose to do). I then
had problems with the ENV statement, changed it to look for
$ENV(MOD_PERL), and tried Apache again, but failed because
$ENV{MOD_PERL} is not defined.
Here's the /etc/apache2/mod_perl-startup.pl I am using:
$ENV{MOD_PERL} =~ /^CGI-Perl/ or die "MOD_PERL not used!";
#use Apache2 ();
use lib qw(/srv/www/perl-lib);
# enable if the mod_perl 1.0 compatibility is needed
# use Apache::compat ();
use ModPerl::Util (); #for CORE::GLOBAL::exit
#use ModPerl::RequestRec ();
#use ModPerl::RequestIO ();
#use ModPerl::RequestUtil ();
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::RequestIO ();
use Apache2::RequestUtil ();
#use Apache2::Server ();
use Apache2::ServerUtil ();
use Apache2::Connection ();
use Apache2::Log ();
use APR::Table ();
use ModPerl::Registry ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => ':common';
use APR::Const -compile => ':common';
1;
Not even too sure what else I need to add. In fact, I am not even too
sure how Apache starts up. There's two scripts /etc/init.d/apache and
/etc/init.d/apache2, but there is nothing in /etc/init.d/rc.3 that calls
either of those scripts.
