I installed Perl 5.8.0 successfully. Now I am trying to install mod_perl so that Apache 2.0.40 can use Perl.

I install like this:

perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs MP_INST_APACHE2=1

make

make install

This should add entries to httpd.conf, but it does not. Therefore, I don't think it is installing like it should. I am using RedHat9, so Apache2 is installed in /usr/sbin instead of the "standard" place.

I was successful with PHP and the proper entries were automatically added to httpd.conf.

Please help me with mod_Perl.

I am testing this with a "Hello World" .pl script and I get the actual perl code. I have used a pre-compiled rpm and I have compiled it myself. They both seem to install okay, but nothing appears in the httpd.conf file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need apxs2 for apache2 for this to install correctly

(unless ur using apxs2 and it is in a dir called apxs for sum reason)

check my first post above.

Apache 2.0.40

I install like this:
cd mod_perl-1.99
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs MP_INST_APACHE2=1
make
make install

This was installed with RedHat9. How should I get apxs2?

use

perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs2 EVERYTHING=1

if that doesn't work i'm out of ideas sorry

My server never had less than version 2.0.40 of Apache, so surely /usr/sbin/apxs is the correct program.

Should I have to manually enter anything into httpd.conf?

I ran "make test" and checked the log. I have two errors:

syntax error at /usr/local/tmp/mod_perl-1.99_09/t/response/TestError/syntax.pm line 22


File does not exist: /usr/local/tmp/mod_perl-1.99_09/t/htdocs/input_filter.html


Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
