If you have a problem with mp2, you have to try the latest stable version or 
even the cvs version, since many bugs were fixed since the version bundled 
with RH8.0. If the bugs is still there, please do a complete bug report 
following the guidelines:

I've resolved this problem, at least to a degree which satisfies me. I built
apache-1.3.27 and mod_perl-1.27 together following the INSTALL.simple
instructions from the mod_perl source but adding EVERYTHING=1 when running
Makefile.PL. This makes Apache::MP3 work on a Red Hat 7.3 system with perl
5.8.0 added and also on Red Hat 8.0 (which has perl 5.8.0 included) but only
if mod_perl-1.99 was *not* a selected package. On an 8.0 system with
mod_perl-1.99 present, /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest still
causes a segmentation fault.

Many thanks to Ged Haywood for plenty of support off-list.

It's not a DSO, it's compiled in. If I had gotten the URL correct, that
would have been clear :-)

Sorry, I forgot the hostname is on a private IP. This link works.

The implication being that booting the 7.3 machine with an 8.0 isn't going
to get me an option that a regular person would call an "upgrade?"

Is it pretty clear how to make everything use 5.8.0 instead of the
pre-existing version? Is it as simple as replacing /usr/bin/perl?

Did you build mod_perl as a DSO?  If so I'd try static.

How much time have you got?

If you want Perl 5.8.0 under 7.3 that's no problem, just grab the
source and compile it.  (Don't use RPMs unless you relish pain...:)

[mp1] Help with Apache::MP3

[Wilcox, Curtis]

Actually I run into the problem before I get to the Apache::MP3 part but
running Apache::MP3 is the ultimate goal.

The distro I'm trying is Red Hat 8.0 which includes apache 2.x.x, mod_perl
1.99 and perl 5.8.0 but Apache::MP3 requires the 1.0 mod_perl API. I tried
to use the Apache::compat module as suggested by the Namp! web site
 to make it compatible with the 1.0 API but
that didn't seem to work. I get "failed to resolve handler `Apache::MP3'" in
the httpd/error_log when trying to load the directory Apache::MP3 is set to
handle.

I would just as soon not use Apache 2 anyway so I tried installing
apache-1.3.27 and mod_perl-1.27, following the instructions in
INSTALL.simple, included in the mod_perl source. Unfortunately when I add
the following to httpd.conf, the apachectl configtest segfaults:


SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::MP3


/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl: line 171:   999 Segmentation fault
$HTTPD -t

The segfault is not caused by the PerlHandler, it still happens if there's
only the SetHandler line.

I have successfully run Apache::MP3 on a Red Hat 7.3 configuration but I'd
like to use Red Hat 8.0 because of a number of the updates included the
current version of perl. This page compares the versions of the relevant
components (as far as I can tell) and the output of httpd -V, httpd -l, and
perl -V on the Red Hat 8.0 and Red Hat 7.3 machines.



I should also mention that on Red Hat 8.0 if I do not select the "Web
Server" set of packages, Apache 2.0 is still installed but mod-perl 1.99 is
not. I don't *think* that should make a difference but I can't tell.

Does anyone know a specific cause of this problem? What's my best option, do
a different compile of apache & mod_perl? Could I upgrade Red Hat 7.3 to 8.0
and retain my apache configuration but end up with perl 5.8.0?
