mod_perl error Invalid command 'PerlOptions'

agentc0re · 05-23-2007, 07:30 PM

when i do apachectl configtest i receive

Code:

Invalid command 'PerlOptions', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

i do have mod_perl loaded in the httpd.conf file. what i am doing is doing a #include /etc/apache/otrs.conf (the file that has the PerlOptions +ParseHeaders)

in my httpd.conf file just before i do the include i have <IFModule mod_perl.c> and then i end it after the include. not sure if i was supposed to do that or not but i with or without i still get the same error.

i found a post but i acidently closed it out and can't find it now. it said to copy 2 files from the mod_perl src dir after the make install to somewhere else and im wondering if that maybe what is holding me back.

any help is always appreciated!

thanks slackers

Is this the post you were looking for?

Would help if you tell us what Apache and mod_perl versions you're using.

sorry, didn't even think to mention that because i just used what comes preinstalled on 11.
so it's apache 1.3.37 (i think) and mod perl 1.30

Well i got that file copied over, and set the permissions like you had mentioned in your thread.
when i installed mod_perl it updated my httpd.conf for me by loading the module in it correctly with both the lines you also mention in your post.

do you think i could be getting this error because im calling another .conf file? should i just add this code to my httpd.conf file? if i do would i need to add it under <IFModule mod_perl.c> </IFModule> section or would anywhere matter?

--edit--
i tried adding the code just to the httpd.conf file under the IFModule mod_perl.c section and still same error.

Ah, i just found out i don't have a directory called /usr/bin/apxs. could this be a problem?

--edit-- i found it else where. i found it in /usr/sbin/apxs

here is part of my apache log. maybe this might help solve the issue as well.

Code:

I solved it! well turns out what the program was telling me to do was for mod_perl. after digging in the documents for a while i saw the difference it was telling me to add to the httpd.conf file. obviously that line wasn't part of it.

so i got it up and operational! yey!
