I think that becouse of the chroot, /var/www/lib/perl is not a valid

this would make mod_perl look in actual path /var/www/var/www/lib/perl

Hmmm. Are you by any chance female? :) Please don't mess about with file ownerships, groups, permissions and things if you aren't sure of what you're doing. That's dangerous in a Webserver and besides you can get in a real mess with the installation. I'm probably just over-sensitive, but if i was getting frustrated with one of my servers and copped a call like that, i'd be booking a ticket to jubileegroup.co.uk armed with a cricket bat... :) I wouldn't have a clue what is going vickie, but i ran the same set of commands on my linux box and it executed no worries. If ya want, I can send the gzipped output (about 2k) off-list to give you something to compare against?

The compilation of the Apache binary, I guess. That is what runs (eventually) when you give the command to start the Webserver. You usually give the command to a script called 'apachectl', but that's not necessarily the case. The Apache binary is called 'httpd'. Modules like mod_perl can be added to it, to make it do funky stuff. There are two ways to add a module to Apache. Er, more or less. One way is to compile it into the Apache binary (that's called 'static') and the other isn't. That's called 'DSO' or 'Dynamic' or something even more impressive. The former method gives you a kind of self-contained binary which contains the module, the latter gives you a loadable object which the httpd binary has to load from someplace. It's told to load the module (and where the module is:) by instructions in the configuration files. You're trying to do the latter. I'd recommend you don't do it that way but there we are. If you make mod_perl as a DSO, then you might be expected to have an Apache all ready and waiting to load it. If you make it static, then you'll get one. So if you make mod_perl as a DSO and you *don't* have an Apache to load it then you have to make one. So pop over to the Apache directory (wherever it is:) and type 'make'. Then go back to the mod_perl directory and try 'make test' again. If that doesn't work you can always try my earlier suggestion. Always works for me. Here in France, it's ten to one in the morning so I'm going to bed. Bon chance. 73, Ged.

It's very clear, actually, since I did nothing before these steps :) OK, I thought about this overnight and realized the =pod stuff _should_ work if Apache has mod_perl built into it. Since I am supposedly building Apache and mod_perl concurrently, it occurred to me I should "make clean" in my Apache source and try again. Just in case. And I pulled out my Apache configure ops from last time (see, I _do_ keep notes) and stuck them where the docs said to put "APACI_ARGS". Presuming that's what "APACI_ARGS" means. That isn't so clear... At 09:27 + 2003-02-08, Ged Haywood wrote: >Don't build as root, use a non-privileged account to configure Well, that is an interesting suggestion.

Then I ran make in the mod_perl directory and this time "make test" says ../apache_1.3.27/src/httpd: not found According to the mod_perl INSTALL.apaci file, "If your goal is just to build and install Apache 1.3 with mod_perl out of their source trees and have no special interests in further adjusting or enhancing Apache... the following... builds Apache statically with mod_perl, installs Apache under and mod_perl into the hierarchy of your existing Perl installation. All in one step." But somehow it seems to be missing the "builds Apache" step. What am _I_ missing?

Maybe you'll keep some records this time? :)

It's not clear to me what you did BEFORE these steps, and that's
important. Things like 'make clean' perhaps? It's also not clear
from your post what account you were using. Don't build as root, use
a non-privileged account to configure ('perl Makefile.PL'), compile
('make') and test ('make test'). Only switch to root to 'make
install' when the tests are all completed OK. It doesn't matter where
you build, but I'd always do it in my home directory or somewhere in a
directory under /home that's set aside for this purpose - anyway, not
in /usr or /var or anything like that. I'd suggest you delete
everything you've done thus far, then create a new sub-directory in
your home directory, e.g.
$ cd ~
$ mkdir /home/vicki/apache_mod_perl_test
and in it put two directories
$ /home/vicki/apache_mod_perl_test/apache_1.3.27
$ /home/vicki/apache_mod_perl_test/mod_perl-1.27
by grabbing the sources from some mirror somewhere and extracting them
$ cd /home/vicki/apache_mod_perl_test
$ tar xzvf apache_1.3.27
$ tar xzvf mod_perl-1.27
Then build as per the instructions in the Guide at
http://perl.apache.org
$ cd /home/vicki/apache_mod_perl_test/mod_perl-1.27
$ perl Makefile.PL ...
and Bob will I am sure be your proverbial uncle. Note that I
suggested using Apache 1.3.27 here, but if you have some burning
desire to use 1.3.26 that's OK. Just don't go and try anything older.
I always put my configuration options in a file makepl_args.mod_perl
in the /home/.../mod_perl-x.xx directory (see below) but that's just
preference (I get to keep a record of what I did that way:).

You know, this is not very helpful at all. Next time you post, let us
know what OS you're using, stuff like that huh?

It's OK to have sections in an Apache httpd.conf (or other
configuration file) as long as the Apache reading it has mod_perl
compiled in or loaded as a module. There's some documentation around
here somewhere...

Might be time to subscribe. :)
