Hi all,
I've tried working with the apache-php3perl SRPM which was posted on the
http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html
page. It's an SRPM that is designed to statically link in php3 and mod_perl
into the apache binary. Basically, i can get the SRPM to compile, but i can't
seem to enable mod_perl. I've already emailed the maintainer, but maybe any
one in the list can also point me to the right direction.
My procedure to setup is to first compile/and rebuild the SRPM to an RPM and
then install it with rpm -i
I then tried my luck and started apache, and it worked.
However when i tried enabling the config setting with the PerlHandler keyword:
(I commented out the <IfModule> because the SRPM builds mod_perl statically
into apache
# If the perl module is installed, this will be enabled.
#<IfModule mod_perl.c>
Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
#</IfModule>
If i do this i try to restart apache, i get this:
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 862 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration
Now i know the FAQ entries on this error code, but i know perl is included and
linked statically, so the keyword PerlHandler should work. Looking at httpd -l
I get:
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
mod_perl.c
mod_php3.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec
Then the maintainer wanted me to eliminate the possiblity of having another
httpd binary in my disk, so... These are the only ones in my disk.

I've tried also on other hardware so it's not that either. Has anyone tried
to build apache with mod_perl statically? Can anyone replicate this problem,
because i'm at my wits end.
