Title: Re: Is mod_perl installed
Hey Jay,
 
Yes, all that is true.. the perl.conf is pulled into the httpd.conf and the first line is loading the mod_perl.so and the file does exist in the modules directory..
 
So by that your saying that mp2 is OK even though it doesn't appear any of those methods to check if its installed or not? I wouldn't think the existence of the conf and so file would be enough to say everything was correct.
 
Thanks
-Chris

Cfaust,

What does your httpd.conf file say after the modules listing?
If it says something like:
#
#load configfiles from the config directory "/etc/httpd.conf.d"
#
Include conf.d/*.conf
#
Then check there for your: perl.conf file.
Within the perl.conf file you will find:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

Then look for the perl_module in /etc/httpd/modules.

This is standard placement for Redhat Linux RPMs.
I have found that I can edit this perl.conf to customize my modPerl and
directories and script aliases
