Phil,
Thank you very much for your quick response!
The reason I assumed mod_perl wasn't installed was because of a post I found
searching the mail list archive.
When I try to start/stop httpd manually I receive the following error:
Syntax error on Line 896 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlRequire' , perhaps misspelled or defined by a
module not included in server configuration.
I noticed someone else with the same problem, and the replies pointed to the
fact that mod_perl was not installed.
So I guess I can eliminate a bad install as part of the problem... but
that's leaves me back at square one.
I'm going to continue to hunt through the mail list archives and FAQ's for a
solution... but if anyone can think of anything in the meantime, I would
love to hear it!
Thanks again!!
-Jim

James,
It is installed, actually. What you're seeing is a build of Apache
where pretty much everything is installed as a DSO. This makes it
possible for Redhat to ship things like mod_php4 as RPMs so you can just
install them piecemeal. If you look in APACHE/libexec/, you'll find all
the other modules you're looking for.
What you need to do in your httpd.conf file is LoadModule [ module name
], but since you're seeing mod_perl in the server headers, it's probably
already done.
I would advise you to learn how to build all this from source. It's not
terribly difficult and Stas's mod_perl guide at perl.apache.org/guide is
a great resource. Also, the software comes with instructions.
phil.

Hello,
I recently installed Redhat 7, which includes/installs Apache
and mod_perl.
I assumed mod_perl was installed and running successfully
based on the http
error log (Mon Nov 13 15:37:16 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.12
(Unix) (Red
Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.6.6 OpenSSL/0.9.5a DAV/1.0.1
mod_perl/1.24 configured
-- resuming normal operations), but when I do a httpd -l
apparently its not:
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec
So I decided to download the tarball and [re]install
mod_perl... but without
the Apache source it is not happening.
If anyone has any advice/urls/pointers to FAQ's to get mod_perl up and
running in this situation it would be greatly appreciated!
TIA!
