Hi. Well, I have been banging my head against the monitor tonight, and am baffled by this one. I have 2 machines, which are supposedly identical in configuration. I installed mod_perl aware apache from RPMS (grown in house, with mod_perl statically compiled in). After that, I installed the following using CPAN: Bundle::CPAN Bundle::Apache Crypt::SSLeay DBI DBD::Pg Both machines have identical httpd.conf files (to avoid that variable). One machine starts right up with no problems. The other, however produces the following error: [root@darth-vader conf]# apachectl start [Wed Jan 19 23:26:24 2000] [error] Can't call method "bytes_sent" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/CGI/Carp.pm line 344. Syntax error on line 1179 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Can't call method "bytes_sent" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/CGI/Carp.pm line 344. /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started [root@darth-vader conf]# I've searched through the mailing lists and I dont see anything there that is like this. If I take out the processing of my startup.pl, the httpd starts right up of course. Has anyone seen this? Any ideas what might be causing this? Im running mod_perl 1.21 on Linux machines. Thanks for any pointers any might have. Mike
