Hi everyone, I wanted to start doing some ASP work on my linux box. I had mandrake 7.1 installed and eveyrthing was old and stale so I decided to install the lastest and greatest *heh* 7.2. (After dealing with the install bugs** grr) This came with apache-1.3.14-2mdk apache-common-1.3.14-2mdk apache-manual-1.3.14-2mdk apache-devel-1.3.14-2mdk apache-suexec-1.3.14-2mdk apache-mod_perl-1.3.14_1.24-2mdk apache-mod_perl-devel-1.3.14_1.24-2mdk Apache-ASP-2.00-2mdk rpms, Which i promptly installed. I also have all the perl dependances installed but there is hopefully no need to list them here. My problem is: I'm not sure if mod_perl is actually running correctly. When I installed the Apache-ASP rpm it created folders under ./site/eg etc, and I could run all the examples that were in that folder. When I tried to copy this folder like the manual said to the document root and run I got an error 500. My /var/log/httpd/error_log says "[Wed Mar 7 21:48:37 2001] [alert] [client 192.168.0.1] /var/www/html/temp/site/eg/.htaccess: Invalid command 'PerlSetVar', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" my /var/log/httpd/perl-error_log says that [Wed Mar 7 14:45:08 2001] [notice] Apache- AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.14 (Linux-Mandrake/2mdk) mod_perl/1.24 configured -- resumming normal operations" I do have an erorr saying that perl cannnot determine the servers fully qualified domain name but i don't think that is the big problem. What I am wondering about is: in /etc/httpd/conf/ there is a httpd.conf file and a httpd- perl.conf file. Am I supposed to copy the 2 together? I tried renaming the httpd-perl.conf file to httpd.conf and running the server but it gave me mucho errors talking about DSO stuff might fail. It also said that it coudn't find the perl_mod.c module, and it started screaming about other PerlHandler variables or whatnot that it coudln't find either. Am I missing a package or something that contains the perl_mod.c? Am I even supposed to combine the 2 .conf files or is it supposed to do it for me? I'm not the most experienced person with linux (I've been running a system for about 4 months now, and I'm in a linux administration class in college, but well, there is a lot of stuff that i don't know) I can install and configure things but when shit breaks well, ya know.. i'm screwed . heh. If anyone can please explain this problem (and hopefully a fix, in good detail ;)) I would be sincerly grateful. If you want to check anything out. like that server-status thing they got going my site is currently running at www.chaos-storm.org. the first page is just a little chat program that a friend was working on that is supposed to call asp stuff. Thank you very much, Ryan McKee
