Hi, I am not sure, but I think the recent security update broke my mod_perl/Apache coexistance. I am not sure because it wasn't something I checked right after installing it. Also, things are fine on my other OS X box which also got the update.
I have not recompiled anything. What I have is what came with original installed and the latest updates. The symtom: Apache doesn't start. No errors in the error_log, no real complaints on the command line (with apachectl start); just the warning about resolving the "fully qualified domain name"... which I know I can easily fix by setting it in the conf file (but that's besides the point here). I traced it down to the AddModule mod_perl.c line. Assuming all other mod_perl directives are commented out (PerlRequire, etc), commenting out the AddModule line lets Apache start up. The only uncommented line in reference to mod_perl is LoadModule line. What I find disturbing is that I don't see any errors about Apache not starting anywhere. It looks just like it would if it successfully started, except no processes are running. I had this working before. I didn't use it for a week or two, and when I went to play with it again a few days ago, I discovered the problem. Does anyone know of this being a common problem? Does anyone know of anything I could/should try to resolve this problem. I can do the whole recompile thing, but would like to try other options first, if possible. -Alex
