Hi Stas, I tried the Timeout-value and as you thought it hasn't any influence because with the prefork-model the server needs around 26secs to startup. I found something new. As I commented out every module I tried to figure out which one is the bad one, so I activated one after the other and did "t/TEST -conf" and "t/TEST" each time. There are two bad ones. Each time I activated mod_proxy (ie. mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http) or mod_dav (ie. mod_dav and mod_dav_fs) the server didn't startup and quit silently. Independent of the fact which of the two modules I loaded and independent from the order of the Loadmodule-Statements. No chance in combination with mod_perl. So I compiled mod_proxy and mod_dav statically into httpd. And big surprise: Now everything works! :-) I got some errors (Can't load module...) on the test-routines for the APR:: modules. Should I post them here, because I don't know if this is a "bug"? Tomorrow I will try to do the strace thing for the case "everyhting as DSO" and then open a bug-report. kind regards, Johannes Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 08.09.2004 17:09:41: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I'm new to this list and trying to compile modperl for Apache2. > > (I've done this some time ago for modperl 1.26 and Apache 1.3.22.) > > I'm using Perl 5.8.5 under AIX 4.3.3.
