mp2 on osx jaguar won't load mod_perl.so
I've been quite successful with mp1 (Apache/1.3.28, mod_perl/1.28, perl
5.8.0, OSX jaguar 10.2.6.), but I'd really like to get mp2 going on OSX.
Has anyone had any luck or experienced this same problem?
Apache2, by itself, appears to compile and run just fine. I've found no
problems so far (though I'm not using it much since I want/need mp). I get
mp2 to compile without errors or warnings, and it successfully gives me a
mod_perl.a and mod_perl.so, and will install them in apache2 correctly.
However, make test fails with a server failed to start! error (full
output below).
I decided to screw the test and see what I could get it to do manually, so I
modified httpd.conf as described in the docs (added LoadModule perl_module
modules/mod_perl.so and PerlModule Apache2). Commands such as apachectl
start and httpd -k start appear to work with no error or output
whatsoever, but httpd never fires up ('ps -aux | grep httpd' gives zilch).
Likewise, the error_log logs nothing. As soon as I commnet out the two perl
module lines in httpd.conf, httpd runs again just fine.
Now here's the strange part: if comment out the perl module lines in
httpd.conf and fire up httpd, *then* uncomment them and restart httpd, it
works temporarily. Mp modules run, my mod_perl directory has working mp
executables, etc. Even error_log registers [notice] Apache/2.0.47 (Unix)
mod_perl/1.99_09 Perl/v5.8.0 configured -- resuming normal operations. At
least for a while, then it seems to stop working. An additional apachectl
restart definitely kills it and the server dies dead. Again, nothing to the
error_log or stdout/stderr.
Any ideas??
Here's the full mp2 sudo make test output:

Douglas, when reporting problems/bugs please follow the guidelines at http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ It's a known issue with certain builds of perl, please look in the list archives for similar reports. Several people reported success with max os x using perl built with usethreads enabled.

The guesswork would be a lot easier if it didn't involve so much
guesswork. :)
I think the root question of my email was lost in my poor explanation.
Basically, I have a module (which I called App) that has something like:
%somehash = ();
This declaration is outside of any subroutines. VirtualHosts then call
App-load(name, libdir) to fille $somehash{$name} with a hashref of
page objects. All logging led me to believe that this variable was
being properly populated, but when that variable was accessed (via
getApp($name)), %somehash was undef.
Silly mistakes aside, I was basically trying to create a 'global'
variable that was populated by a method call _after_ it was
require()ed. The problem comes from the module being loaded _twice_.
The second time, %somehash = () sets things back to undef, but
loadApp() is not called again.
My motive for questioning the list was to find out if Apache's 'will
this survive a SIGHUP' pass caused this behavior, or if it was
something else I was missing.
I re-attacked this problem by adding a caller() check in App, and it
proved to me that App was indeed being loaded twice. Once by my
startup.pl (use App ();), and _again_ by an eval. caller() couldn't
point me to the spot of code that was doing this, other than telling me
it was a 'require App;'. I started flipping switches and localized it
to PerlFreshRestart being on. When I turn it off, the eval() happens
_before_ my startup.pl use() and subsequence call to App-load().
So this long-winded explanation is for the archives, and also to get an
idea as to why this happens. Thanks! :)

[moving the thread back to the list, so others can benefit from it as well] Douglas Theobald wrote: Thanks Stas and Michael, I guess I'll have to recompile perl with ithreads. I'll probably have two perl builds, since I don't want threads in my standard perl. It'd be much better if somebody could figure out what the problem is with non-threaded builds and fix it. Stas, I didn't realize this was a bug, I figured this was more likely a configuration problem on my end. It doesn't matter, the bug report includes all the information about your environment, including the configuration parameters. And without having those we can't tell what your problem is, whether it's a bug in mp or your configuration problem. Anyway, I have thoroughly scoured this list, google, and the mod_perl site for any and all information on this subject (OSX, jaguar, mp2, mod_perl) and have turned up nothing but mp1-related issues. Now that I know the solution I can easily find the relevant posts. It would be particularly helpful if there were a known bugs page at perl.apache.org (is there one? I can't find it). It's in the STATUS file. Under 'Platforms on which mod_perl won't build/load'. I will add an entry on osx as soon as somebody tells me the exact details, besides requiring -Dusethreads. Michael has mentioned -lc -lm... It would be even more useful if Eric Cholet's information you gave me below was available on the OS-specific Info mp2 page: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/index.html You know, secretly I hope that the frustration will make someone, with osx knowledge, fix the problem. So instead of advertising the workaround, I'd rather see it fixed. However if the general opinion is that we want to make the workaround more visible, we can do that as well. Another solution to this problem is to use the static build, which is incomplete yet. If someone wants to do that, patches are *very* welcome. __ 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 -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
