Re: Not even beginning - INSTALL HELP
Finally I reinstalled Perl 5.6 and mod_perl installed without problems.
I am really new to mod_perl and I don't know if mod_perl is running well.
How can I know?
I would like to test if my script is running under mod_perl so I wrote the
following from the faqs but nothing happens (nothing is written):
#!/usr/bin/perl
if (exists $ENV{"MOD_PERL"}){ #if running under mod_perl
print "first test\n";
}
if($ENV{"GATEWAY_INTERFACE"} eq "CGI-Perl/1.1"){
print "second test\n";
}
Will this work as a test to know if mod_perl is running?
Thanks
Alejandro

If I plan to use the DBD modules in the future, should they be installed
before mod_perl, or is it the same?
The DBD modules are independent of the mod_perl, so you should be able to
install them whenever. I mentioned them for completeness sake since it
was
something I did. Also, DBI, DBD, et al. are a critical part of our
solution.
If you don't use them now, no need to install them now.
Take care,

I did not build Perl myself. It is the Perl that comes from rpm's with RH7.0 distro. Idem gcc and Apache. It seems that there is something I am missing.

Re: Not even beginning - INSTALL HELP
Thank you Peter, I will take a look at the guide you mentioned. The puzzle to me now is that I have 3 similar boxes with RH7.0 and this is the only one that is performing errors while doing perl Makefile.PL The others (which are not original RH7.0 installations but upgrades from RH6.2) worked fine. My worry is that I will reinstall Apache from source and I have a chance to still get the same error. This is why I am asking for reasons for a segmentation fault while doing perl Makefile.PL Thank you Alejandro - Original Message - From: "Peter J. Schoenster" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "A.

Re: Not even beginning - INSTALL HELP
Hello Alejandro, I did not build Perl myself. It is the Perl that comes from rpm's with RH7.0 distro. Idem gcc and Apache. It seems that there is something I am missing. I do have Apache I do have gcc I do have perl I do have mod_perl-1.25.gcc I'm not sure if this will help, but your situation sounds similar -- though not exact -- to one I just faced over the weekend. I upgraded a development system to RH6.1 from RH5.2 (ok, I'm a bit behind the times, but I that's the RH CD-ROM I had available. Also, not quite ready for perl 5.6.0, given some of the programs we use.) I was also upgrading from Apache 1.3.6 -- Raven SSL 1.4.1 -- mod_perl 1.21 to Apache 1.3.12 -- Raven SSL 1.4.3 -- mod_perl 1.25. My segfault did not happen during the compile, but whenever the server was accessed. The child segfaulted. I went through a few hickups, like having CPAN.pm try to install 5.6.0, and only was able to fix the problem by starting over with a clean installation of perl 5.005_3, mod_perl 1.24, the DBD modules, apache 1.3.12, Raven 1.4.3. When I started clean, everything worked perfectly according to the directions in the INSTALL.x docs in the mod_perl directory! Don't know what exactly caused the problem, but maybe starting over with mod_perl 1.24 would help? Take care, Kurt Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Not even beginning - INSTALL HELP
If you are going to upgrade gcc for RH 7.0, I reccomend the new source RPM for gcc to be found in the updates directory on any redhat mirror site. In fact, if you are sticking with RH you should see about updating a number of things. 23, Ed "G.W. Haywood" wrote: Hi there, On Tue, 27 Feb 2001, A.

Re: Not even beginning - INSTALL HELP
I really don't think RH7.0 is the problem. I am trying to figure out what it is, yet unsuccesfully. I'll explain the solution when I get it. Thank you very much.

Re: Not even beginning - INSTALL HELP
That's the kind of solution I think will work. Starting all over again. The only doubt from my side is that this a BRAND NEW installation. Anyway I think it should be done again. Another question: If I plan to use the DBD modules in the future, should they be installed before mod_perl, or is it the same?
