Joshua, (and all) Thanks very much for your reply. Following your suggestions, I have tried again this morning, to no avail. I am sure I missed something obvious here. although serveral people have mentioned compiling mod_perl STATICALLY with Apache, I have not found clear instructions on EXACTLY how to do it. Following the 10-step instruction at http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html, still several problem came up. Question: how does one compile mod_perl static with Apache? which file to edit and how, and how do I know whether I succeed? I suspected that my CPAN was not installed fully. After "install Bundle::Apache", it reported back that Sandwich failed, and PerlRunXS skipped. when "install Apache::PerlRunXS", PerlRunXS still failed. "test Apache" was not ok either. I can "force install Apache::Sandwich" and it test ok, but after install perlrunxs which failed, sandwich did not test ok either. How can I get around this? or are those needed? Currently, the Apache server still works, but it's still Apache 1.3.6 with PHP, even though the Apache I just re-compiled is 1.3.9 and with mod_perl-1.21. Thanks for your kind help! Don ps. can I talk with someone on this? Joshua Chamas wrote: > Don, > > Try and get a static install to work. mod_perl DSO does not > work reliably.
