This mail is only intended as a warning to other users who might be upgrading the Perl packages on their systems and use Apache and mod_perl. I recently registered for up2date with Redhat thinking that it would be a great idea to keep my system updated. On checking for updates yesterday I saw that there were security updates available for Apache and Perl packages and here is the mistake I made. My system previously had Perl 5.6.0 and up2date upgraded it to 5.6.1. It turned out that was not all to be done and httpd refused to restart. The mod_perl package which interfaces Apache to Perl still thought that I had perl 5.6.0 and was looking for packages in the wrong place as a result of which Apache refused to startup. Obviously Redhat should have also released an updated mod_perl package alongwith the new perl package for RH 7.1, which caused me some distress. Using a mod_perl update available for RH 7.2 worked for me. -Vinay -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
