I am getting segfaults from an Apache/mod_perl/Mason setup so I decided I needed to build both Apache and mod_perl from source using -g and without DSOs so I could easily debug it with gdb. Alas, that is turning out to be tougher than I expected. I'm probably doing something fundamentally wrong. Hopefully someone here can steer me in the right direction. My environment is Linux Mandrake 7.1. I'm trying to build and run Apache 1.3.14 and mod_perl 1.24_01 from their source distributions (I'm not using RPMs). I have two problems: 1. It appears that not all the modules I asked to be enabled at configure time are found, and 2. When I configure mod_perl it seems to override my desired set of apache builtin modules. I configured apache using these settings: ./configure --with-layout=RedHat --enable-module=proxy \ --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=log_agent \ --enable-module=log_referer --enable-module=info \ --enable-module=auth_anon --enable-module=digest \ --enable-module=expires --enable-module=headers \ --enable-module=usertrack --enable-module=userdir After compiling (without any mod_perl fiddling), executing "src/httpd -l" yields Compiled-in modules: http_core.c mod_env.c mod_log_config.c mod_log_agent.c mod_log_referer.c mod_mime.c mod_negotiation.c mod_status.c mod_info.c mod_include.c mod_autoindex.c mod_dir.c mod_cgi.c mod_asis.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_rewrite.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_auth_anon.c mod_digest.c mod_proxy.c mod_expires.c mod_headers.c mod_usertrack.c mod_setenvif.c suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec However, when I check the config file with "src/httpd -t" it complains: Syntax error on line 137 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'UserDir', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Line 137 is the standard UserDir public_html Why is apache complaining? I configured mod_perl like so (after configuring and building apache as above): perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.14/src \ DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 After running "make" in the mod_perl directory, "src/httpd -l" yields an abbreviated set of modules: Compiled-in modules: http_core.c mod_env.c mod_log_config.c mod_mime.c mod_negotiation.c mod_status.c mod_include.c mod_autoindex.c mod_dir.c mod_cgi.c mod_asis.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_setenvif.c mod_perl.c suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec There must be some way to build a debug version of apache+mod_perl with my desired set of modules statically bound into the httpd executable. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thx, -- Skip Montanaro ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Support the Mojam.com Affiliates Program: http://www.mojam.com/affl/ (847)971-7098
