i'm trying to setup mason on apache2, mod_perl2 setup. But mason isn't finding Apache::Request and i'm getting errors compiling html::mason and in the httpd.conf file.

[error] Can't load Perl module HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler for server

I successfully set this up on my home machine with mod_perlRC2, i haven't tried that yet but i don't see how that'll make a difference. Is there anything that i must do to tell mason to use apache 2? Because when i type perl Makefile.PL this is what i get.

*** If you plan to use Mason with mod_perl,
Mason requires version 0.32, or later, of Apache::Request
from CPAN/modules/by-module/Apache/Apache-Request-x.x.tar.gz

But i installed libapreq2-2.04-dev and it installed perfectly. Any ideas how i can get this thing going? Thanks in advance.

just an update, this command on my home server (which i've set this up successfully)

perl -MApache::Request -e'print Apache::Request->VERSION'
returns 2.04-dev

but on the server in question it returns
Can't locate Apache/Request.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

so apache::request is not being installed. Any ideas where is may be installed, etc?

Most likely you looked at this, but mason requires at least version 1.27 to work with mod_perl2.0. I'm not going ot be much help I was just handed a project that uses mason and I'm just beginning to research it.

Hi,

Ive had similar problems wirh Maypole.

It looks like Apache and CPAN distributions are "out of sync", regarding Apache and mod_perl2. If you look at the documentation Apache::Request has now become Apache::RequestUtils::Request etc etc (but in Maypole you have to use Apache2::RequestUtils::Request (I'm still trying to figure it out !!!) in MVC.pm

However check http://www.codecomments.com/archive2...-2-406243.html
as this may prvide a clue.
