I've seen this problem reported a half-dozen or so times on this list, but I cannot seem to find a resolution. I've been trying to install mod_perl , but "make test" fails consistently. I'm using perl v5.6.0 , Solaris 5.7 , apache_1.3.12. There are two general classes of failures that I've seen. If I run perl Makefile.PL \ EVERYTHING=1 \ DO_HTTPD=1 \ USE_APACI=1 \ APACHE_SRC=/devel/src/apache_1.3.12/src I get the following from "make test": /devel/src/keep/apache_1.3.12/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t & httpd listening on port 8529 will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log letting apache warm up...done /usr/local/bin/perl t/TEST 1 still waiting for server to warm up... ............not ok server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log) at t/TEST line 95. make: *** [run_tests] Error 9 # cat t/logs/error* [notice] Destruction->DESTROY called for $global_object [Thu Oct 5 17:14:39 2000] [warn] [notice] child_init for process 21363, report any problems to [no address given] A 'ps' shows that process 21363 is running, but (no surprise here) it won't respond to a telnet to port 8259. =============== If I add PREP_HTTPD=1 to the initial make line, I get /devel/src/keep/apache_1.3.12/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t & httpd listening on port 8529 /bin/sh: /devel/src/keep/apache_1.3.12/src/httpd: not found will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log letting apache warm up...done /usr/local/bin/perl t/TEST 0 still waiting for server to warm up...............not ok server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log) at t/TEST line 95. make: *** [run_tests] Error 146 This time there is no httpd process, and nothing in the logfile. =============== I assume these two errors are unrelated. I'd like to use the latter, and manually configure my apache server -- but I'll take whatever I can get. What am I missing?
