Hi Ged,
Thanks for sticking in there w/ me. This is
anything but simple. It's like anything else - if you
understand it you cannot understand why other can't
see it your way. I have been reading and trying many
things. They all seem to converge on the configure
aspect. There are a great many options and the number
of combinations is awesome. Only 1 is correct, and I
haven't found it yet.
I ran the build again for the mod_perl and apache
using APACHE_PREFIX and APACHE_SRC and SSL_BASE. When
finished I tried the apachectl startssl and got the
same LoadModule error as before.
I tried the httpd -l and mod_so.c WAS present. To be
certain I did a 'which httpd'. It was using the one
in /usr/sbin
but that's not new, it is dated Oct 19 2000.
Moreover, the httpd.conf in the conf directory is
dated
Mar 4. There is one dated Mar 17 (today) named
httpd.conf.default
but it does not include any reference to mod_perl.
What should I try next. I have been following the
instructions wherever as closely as I can figure, but
so far nothing has worked. Please advise. Thanks.
