Sorry if this confused anyone else. You can't have a FilesMatch section inside a Location section, it's a contradiction. See http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/directive-dict.html#Context -- Eric

What is the error message? Looks like I was wrong about this. Either my memory was playing tricks on me, or it's different on my development server. The former is at least three orders of magnitude more likely than the latter. I didn't want to try to restart my live server with a deliberately broken config, so I duplicated it on my development server and got this message output to stderr: Syntax error on line 941 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: cannot occur within section ../src/support/apachectl start: httpd could not be started Here is the (only) difference between the failing config and the one currently on the live server.

Cryptic errors -simple Apache::Registry script ??? (newbie)
I've got a script (hello.pl from the Eagle book).
It runs succesfully once and generates 500 errors.
So I dig around and find this in the errors:
[Sun Jan 9 15:26:38 2000] [error] Can't upgrade that kind of scalar at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/Apache/Registry.pm line 32.
HMM. Well, I am not skilled enough to want to hack Registry.pm nor am I
familiar with the concept of upgrading a scalar. I have read Stas' guide
and he talks about "use diagnostics;" Now when things go bad, I get a
longer explanation:
[Sun Jan 9 15:40:07 2000] [error] Uncaught exception from user code:
Can't upgrade that kind of scalar at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/Apache/Registry.pm line 32.
Apache::Registry::handler('Apache=SCALAR(0x81a782c)') called at
/dev/null line 0
eval {...} called at /dev/null line 0
HMM. dev null? line zero? Am I loosing my mind?
I would appreciate it if someone could help me in the right direction.
I'm running RedHat/Apache HTTPSD with mod_perl, does anyone know if
thats a problem?

em("change name.")
),
start_form(),
"Name:

submit(-value=>'Change name'),
end_form(),
hr(),
end_html();
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
John
