May you and all who contributed to its resolution receive skillfully rendered the prurient favors you prefer most from the individual(s) of your choosing. Now, I have a slightly different point of confusion. The "make test" still fails, but leaves the spawned httpd running on the test port. The error log says: ================================ [notice] Destruction->DESTROY called for $global_object [Fri Feb 9 16:29:43 2001] [warn] [notice] child_init for process 23323, report any problems to [no address given] ================================ But if I hit the port with a browser I can pull the test.shtml page with all the SSI mod_perl calls working fine. I feel a lot better about doing the install now, but I still want to know what the problem is here. FYI, there was an suexec problem before, but I think that's just because this box doesn't have a user "nobody". I edited the test httpd.conf to run as our actual server id and it was happy, at least for that. It's just that I keep coming back to various suexec problems.... But since the current server runs and suexec's as it should, I'm not too worried about that. I just hate leaving *any* loose ends. _________________________________________________________ On a seperate note, the main reason I was doing the recompile was to add in mod_auth_dbm. I finally got a test directory to do a simple request for authentication by ID/password, but now I can't get it to accept my password. I built the file with Apache's dbmmanage, importing a list of id/passwords from a script which used a perl crypt() to encrypt the passwords as it fed them to dbmmanage via pipe in the specified "id:encpwd" format. Everything seems to have gone smoothly enough, but it won't accept the password. What now? :o/ The .htaccess file is: ======================= AuthDBMUserFile /dart10/web/docs/public/test/test AuthType Basic AuthName "password test site" Require valid-user ======================= The DBM is in the directory I'm accessing, just as a test. *sigh* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
