I previously posted a question regarding installing mod_perl. Specifically, when I
ran "make test", the script said it started the server, then said it was still waiting
for the server to warm up, and finally died. I had built mod_perl in a directory
within my home directory. The permissions on my home directory itself were 700. I
was also building the program as root, probably a bad idea in itself. At any rate,
the server ran as root and honored the permissions on my home directory; the script
interpreted the "Forbidden" error as the server not being up, and that produced the
message I got. So if I had either changed the permissions on my home directory to 755
or built the package as myself, it probably would have worked. I just changed the
permissions and then changed them back when done, and that worked fine.
