Re: Re-installing 1.99_08 binary or 1.99_05 RPM in Red Hat 8 [mp2]
(Just an informational post to round off the thread.) The following worked for me, I now have a working mod_perl 1.99!

Many thanks Jérôme, also Stas, and Paul for the advice on ditching the RPM's :o)
Re-installing 1.99_08 binary or 1.99_05 RPM in Red Hat 8 [mp2]
I'm new to mod_perl, and was having fun tinkering with mod_perl-1.99_05-3 on Red Hat 8 (Perl 5.8.0 / Kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0 on an i686 / Apache/2.0.40), installed from RPM's. I wanted to get the older Apache:: modules to work, I noted that the ones i wanted came with mod_perl-1.27, and made the (*very* bad) decision of trying to install the old version and getting mod_perl2 to work in 'compatibility mode'. So I tried to install 1.27 from the binary which of course required Apache 1.3, which I had - but not the sources. This resulted in a broken mod_perl installation and me only having some of the modules I required, which of course mostly fail anyway due to dependency issues. I dont think I can install from mod_perl-1.99_08.tar.gz: I hunted for a value for MP_AP_PREFIX - it's probably due to me having installed Apache from an RPM, but there is no path under which the include/ directory with Apache C header files can be found that I can find - something a bit more concrete to feed into 'slocate' or 'find' might help here. Apache/2.0.40 Server compiled with -D APACHE_MPM_DIR=server/mpm/prefork -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE -D APR_HAS_MMAP -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS -D HTTPD_ROOT=/etc/httpd -D SUEXEC_BIN=/usr/sbin/suexec [snip] Also now the RPM is broken: [root@fooTowers public]# rpm -e --nodeps mod_perl-1.99_05-3.i386.rpm error: package mod_perl-1.99_05-3.i386.rpm is not installed [root@fooTowers public]# rpm -ivh mod_perl-1.99_05-3.i386.rpm Preparing...### [100%] package mod_perl-1.99_05-3 is already installed Nice. Essentially I just want to get mod_perl 2 working again and forget using the old Apache:: modules, either using the 1.99_08 binary or the 1.99_05-3 RPM. Any suggestions much appreciated! TIA, Jon

If the recommendation is to ditch the RPM and proceed with the new binary then that's fine. thanks again, jon Red Hat's RPM seems very friendly at first then it turns into the devil from hell, at least for me :) I had the same problem as you when installing Perl 5.8 and apache/mod_perl on RH 7.1 using RPM. Everything was a dependency issue and got F'ed up. I finally learned how to build from source...

OK, I've installed this, but I would like one more go at getting the RPM working, so I don't get more problems when the next RPM is released - I guess I have to choose one method to follow, but am more used to dealing with RPM's.
