Thanx to Dave Wright and Bret McCoy. The problem was with my httpd.conf. It had: <IfModule mod_perl.c> perlFreshRestart On perlInitHandler Apache::statINC perlModule Apache::Registry PerlModule Apache::Status PerlModule Apache::Leak PerlModule DBI PerlModule AuthDBI PerlModule OutputChain PerlModule EmbperlChain PerlModule HTML::Embperl PerlModule DBI PerlModule DBD::mysql .....
After upper-casing the perl* bits and StatINC and HUP the server my static site came back and the errors disappeared. Dp. ----------------- Original message below ------------------ Hi System info: Slackware linux 8.0 (2.2.19), Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) Embperl/1.3.4 mod_perl/1.26 I'm a completely newbie and have a problem with your installation. I think my problems are mainly to do with environment variables, specifically @INC. The error log has the following: Undefined subroutine &Apache::startINC::handler called. I have a statINC at not a startINC. So I modified the httpd.conf accordingly. However I still get: Undefined subroutine &Apache::statINC::handler called. As I don't know how to manually change @INC, I have added the paths to the PERL5LIB env variable (in my .cshrc) but this does not take effect till I log in. So the server does not start unless I am logged in and start it manually as it can not find statINC.pm. Even then http requests generate the above error. So I guess I need to know how to make the PERL5LIB variable available to Apache from its first initialisation (would that be the startup.pl or the UID of the httpd process?). I also need to make sure that this is variable persists. I hope that makes sense. Thanx. Dp. PS: Should my static site still work after installing mod_perl? it doesn't. ------- End of forwarded message ------- ~~ Dermot Paikkos * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator @ Science Photo Library Phone: 0207 432 1100 * Fax: 0207 286 8668
