Hi,
I've just got my apache/modperl setup to work. This little nastie
took me 2 days to find.
In my /usr/src directory, I had:
- apache_1.3.3 [dir]
- apache_1.3.9 [dir]
- mod_perl-1.21 [dir]
and was compiling modperl/perl with:
#perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/usr/src/apache_1.3.9 DO_HTTPD=1
USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 PERL_MARK_WHERE=1
APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=all
#make && make test && make install
and then a make install from apache_1.3.9
This setup was consistently failing, or rather ...
- if I added --enable-shared=max apache compiled and started
unless a call to mod_perl was made. If I tryed to load Embperl in
httpd.conf, httpd would not start, claiming that Apache::Constants was
not installed/found/whatever.
- I upgraded perl, recompiled perl + all the perl modules I had
+ mod-perl + apache again. Several recompiles and shrieks.
Now, today, with a fresh head, I noticed a little message when
making mod_perl, which said it was 'getting into ../apache_1.3.3'. So I
renamed the directory to be called old.apache_1.3.3 and recompiled.
Voilá!
So either my APACHE_SRC argument was wrong (I swear I read it in
Stas' Guide) or the Makefile was ignoring it...
Sadly, I'm going holidays tonight, so I can't [and won't] stay here
to dissect Makefile.PL, but I thought it was nice to tell the list.
Now if you find it was my mistake, one way or another, then please
forgive me for saying the bug was yours [whoever wrote the makefile]
when it was mine.
