Eh? Are you talking about 'make test' or installed mod_perl? If the
former, use the latest cvs where this should work if the latter,
modify httpd.conf.
The latter. Turned out to be a caused by the perl ENV not being
propogated to forked programs:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#C_Libraries_Don_t_See_C__ENV__Entries_Set_by_Perl_Code
Well, actually this is not the case. It behaves exactly the same as in modperl
1.0. You can use Env::C module (available from CPAN) to easily debug this:
The following snippet prints the same under mp1 and mp2 (assuming that they
are started under the same username)
print map { "Perl: $ENV{$_} C: " . Env::C::getenv($_) . "\n"} qw(USER);
print "$< ", scalar getpwuid($<), "\n";
Fixed by adding:
$ENV{'USER'} = 'web';
$ENV{'LOGNAME'} = 'web';
to the start-up script.
Indeed. The point is that ENV is not passed from shell, you have to explicitly
do that and this is an Apache thing. So you can do:
SetEnv USER web
or as you did, in perl.
In any case you probably want to rely on getpwuid($<), rather than $ENV{USER}
if applicable.

If you were a bit more specific about your problems you could already be on the way to having them resolved. The modperl list is not a help-desk service, but a volunteer effort. Therefore you don't ask someone first if they are willing to listen to your troubles, but you simply go ahead and tell what your troubles are and if someone has the right knowledge and time they will help you. If you have more than one problem, please report them in separate bug reports. To report problems you have to follow these guidelines: mod_perl 1.0: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/help.html#How_to_Report_Problems mod_perl 2.0: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Reporting_Problems Finally, this reply is not an invitation to email me privately. You must keep all the discussions on the list unless requested otherwise. Oh, and if you are willing to pay, I'm sure that you will be able to find more than one person on that list, that will provide the help-desk-like service for you. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH --> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

It's a perl feature.

Apache dies when configure mod_perl for use with Apache::DBI
Hi,
I'm trying to configure mod_perl for use with persistent database
connections with Apache::DBI
RedHat 7.3
Apache 1.3.23
mod_perl 1.26
I've configured the following 'startup.pl' file:
-
#!/usr/bin/perl
BEGIN {
use Apache ();
use lib '/etc/httpd/lib/perl';
}
use Apache::Registry ();
use Apache::Constants();
use CGI qw(-compile :all);
use CGI::Carp ();
#
PerlModule Apache::DBI;<<-- trouble line
#use LWP ();
#
1;
---
As soon as I activate the line identified as 'trouble line', my apache
server dies.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Feite Brekeveld

To install things manually, - get mod_perl.ppd from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ - get mod_perl.tar.gz from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/x86/ and place it in the same directory as mod_perl.ppd - get mod_perl.so from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/scripts/ and copy it to your Apache2 modules directory (eg, C:\Apache2\modules) - edit the HREF attribute of the CODEBASE tag in mod_perl.ppd to just read HREF="mod_perl.tar.gz" - run, from the directory where you saved mod_perl.ppd, C:\> ppm install mod_perl.ppd This is all for ActivePerl build 8xx and Apache 2 / mod_perl 2. -- best regards, randy
Re: Can't connect to ppm-ia.ActiveState.com:80
The mod_perl installation works fine on my home machine. (I' have not actually tried it yet, but I don't get errors about contacting http://theoryx5.uwinopeg The office machine can browse the internet but still gives me errors when running "perl mpinstall". The office machine connects to the internet via a proxy server -- perhaps that is the problem. Is there a way for mpinstall to accommodate a proxy server? How can I manually fetch the files that mpinstall is trying to get and install locally?
