Can't locate object method "require_version" via package "DBI"
 

Hi,

I get the following error when attempting to start apache in Linux. This issue appears in some forums but the solution is not clear to me.

I'm in the process of porting the application from AIX to Linux. Please advise.

Thanks in advance,

Habitual, can you please elaborate? The issue here is with the Apache::DBI module.

DBI.pm is a perl module and it needs to be available to the system.

you should see the same reference to DBI.pm if you you may simply just need mod_perl from a cursory review of google hits.

OS? apache version installed please.
