I checked the archived mailing lists but didn't find any references to this question. I had one hit in Google, but it was someone asking basically the same question and there was no answer in the thread. So here I go, hope someone can help!
I first tried to build Apache::Test v1.16 via PERL CPAN. I gave a warning message because I was running as root and it needed to drop priv to nobody but that meant all dirs needed to be rwx for nobody down to .../Apache-Test-1.16/t. The make test process gave an informative suggestion that this can be accomplished by moving Apache-Test-1.16 into /tmp. I did that and then did a find to chmod all dirs below and including Apache-Test-1.16 to 777.
I did a make clean perl Makefile.PL make test
This time I get a different error message, it appears to success past the original 'nobody' problem. The output is:
[warning] setting ulimit to allow core files
ulimit -c unlimited; /usr/bin/perl /tmp/Apache-Test-1.16/t/TEST -bugreport -verbose=0

I've attached /tmp/Apache-Test-1.16/t/conf/httpd.conf to this e-mail. Specifically, line 92 is:
TypesConfig "/tmp/Apache-Test-1.16/t/conf/mime.types"
Is TypesConfig not recognized by Apache/2.0.46 (the latest Apache that comes with RedHat Enterprise Linux Workstation version 3.0)?
I thought about exiting the t/conf/httpd.conf file but it says not to right at the top.
Also, during make test, it asks where apxs is installed but says, "If you don't have it installed it's not a problem. Just press Enter."
I don't know if that is related to this or not, but I did see APXS ... failed messages during the make test.
Thanks for any help! If you need anymore details or need to run some tests, I'll be happy to.
