Hi, I have noticed one thing while running the perl files.
in my httpd.conf the user and group names are User nobody Group nobody if I change Group name as system User nobody Group system perl files are running fine without any error its giving the problem when i am running with group as 'nobody' Please find the part of the out put underlined while building the mod_perl its taking the group as system. Can you please let me know how to change this group to nobody bz apache is running under group 'nobody' PerlServerApi...............enabled PerlSections................enabled PerlSSI.....................enabled Will run tests as User: 'nobody' Group: 'system' ================================================ (cd ../apache_1.3.24 && CC="gcc" CFLAGS=" -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGE_FILES" ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --disable-rule=EXPAT) Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.24 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout) + activated perl module (modules/perl/libperl.a) Creating Makefile Creating Configuration.apaci in src Thanks, Bheema. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Reichert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 11:11 PM To: Bheema Rao Merugu, BSC, Ambattur, Chennai Cc: Tom Schindl; mod_perl Subject: Re: mod_perl not able to run some pl files.

Ok, I think what people meant to suggest was this: /usr/local/apache/bin/perl -MCGI -e 'print "CGI.pm version $CGI::VERSION\n";' That will tell you if _that_ installation of perl knows about a CGI module. If it's not there, then you'll need to really install CGI.pm there: # /usr/local/apache/bin/perl Makefile.PL # make && make test && make install If is _does_ see a CGI module installed, but your mod_perl doesn't, then we need to do more research. For example, is there a file called CGI.pm somewhere under that perl tree? find /usr/local/apache/lib -name CGI.pm -ls What are the permissions on it? If you installed as root, but had a restrictive umask, it may not be world-readable, which would thwart the apache process from reading it. -- Brian Reichert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA BSD admin/developer at large -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
