Can't load perl file
Hello everyone, Hoping someone out has experienced this before. I've poured through archives and faqs but haven't seen any info on it. I just tried everything below on a clean server because I thought I messed something up during an upgrade, but I'm getting this on more than one computer. I'm trying to set up apache 2 (2.0.54) on Windows 2000 Server with SSL (from here -- currently working) http://smithii.com/?q=node/view/30 The latest version of ActivePerl (5.8.7.813) and... mod_perl, which I've installed via the "mpinstall" script here.. http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html#PPM_Packages I've got LoadFile "C:/Perl/bin/perl58.dll" LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so PerlRequire "c:/Apache2/conf/mod_perl.pl" --- Directly below all the other "LoadModule" directives in httpd.conf and when I try to start Apache I get [Wed Jun 08 14:06:16 2005] [error] Can't load Perl file: c:/Apache2/conf/mod_perl.pl for server www.mysite.com:80, exiting...

Turns out it was an error in the mod_perl.pl file I took "Can't load" to mean "Where's this file?"

Re: Can't load perl file
What is in your mod_perl.pl file? If there is any error returned during compilation of the script, you will get the error you got . Try running mod_perl.pl from the command line, if it is possible. A possibility is that you forgot to 'use Apache2' in your script. Nick Pietraniec wrote: Hello everyone, Hoping someone out has experienced this before.

Re: Can't load perl file
Yes. When it fails to compile, it returns exactly that 'Can't load...' message.

Re: Can't load perl file
I had something like use Apache2 use Apache2::compat (); before, but I pasted directly what was in the tutorial (below) and it worked. As long as I'm shooting out an email to the list, does anyone know offhand exactly what options I need to put in there to run a script that I'm moving from a apache1/mod_perl1 config?

Re: install Apache::compat? (Was Can't load perl file)
Thanks, that was it... Stupid mistake, but there seems to be some conflicting docs out there. I'm trying to get a mod_perl1 module running on mod_perl2 and I seem to be having some difficulty. The logs are simply throwing "Can't load Perl file: c:/apache2/conf/ mod_perl.pl for server www.foo.com:80, exiting..." and it's making it very difficult to see exactly where things are dying. Is my lack of verbosity because I'm in windows? If I put PerlModule Apache::garbage in my httpd.conf I get can't load perl module apache::garbage for server www.foo.com:80 exiting... but if I put it in a startup script PerlRequire "C:/blah/startup.pl" I get "Can't load perl file: C:/blah startup.pl for server www.foo.com:80 exiting... basically i'm loading this module which uses a pm file and I'm getting no info on why things aren't working... Just that they aren't Sorry for the newbie question, everything i've found says that things should work if you include the compat option and there's not a lot to tell you what to do when it doesn't just work :) -Nick On Jun 13, 2005, at 12:34 PM, Steve Duran wrote: Try Apache2::compat -Original Message- From: Nick Pietraniec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 1:29 PM To: modperl@perl.apache.org Subject: install Apache::compat?

One thing you should verify is that the renaming issues discussed at http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html have been addressed. -- best regards, randy kobes
