Hi,
I setup a Suse 11.2 server over a year ago and suddenly, after an online software update, my Apache server is broken. It just writes a few lines to the error log and produces no output. Here is the error message:
Global $r object is not available. Set:
PerlOptions +GlobalRequest
in httpd.conf at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/CGI/Carp.pm line 553.
I looked at the Carp.pm line 553:
$r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
The online documentation from
http://search.cpan.org/~gozer/mod_pe...equestUtil.pod
says:
# get the global request object (requires PerlOptions +GlobalRequest)
$r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
I have +GlobalRequest set in my mod_perl.conf file for location /perl/ which is aliased to /rr/www/cgi-bin/, the physical directory for my Perl scripts:
ScriptAlias /perl/ "/rr/www/cgi-bin/"
<Location /perl/>
# mod_perl mode
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
PerlOptions +GlobalRequest
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
In the mod_perl-startup.pl script which is PerlRequired in the mod_perl.conf file, it uses the RequestUtil module:
use Apache2::RequestUtil ();
I thought to update apache and mod_perl, but they are both the latest versions in yast. I even rebooted.
Do I have PerlOptions +GlobalRequest in the wrong place? I have not done any system work since setup the server over a year ago except for running yast -> online_update.
Puzzled,
BrianP
