Hi everyone. I've tried using google, and posting on forums, and no one seems to have an answer for me. Everything on google is all about using apache 1.3 with mod_perl, and the stuff about 2.0 doesn't really give detailed instructions about anything. So hopefully someone on here can help. Please note that I really want STATIC mod_perl...there will be quite a few client connections hitting this box. Here's the scoop on the box:

OS: RHEL 3 Advanced Server

Now here's what I've done thus far:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell (then I executed `install Bundle::Apache2` from cpan)

Downloaded the latest mod_perl-2.0.1 from perl.apache.org, and httpd-2.0.54 from httpd.apache.org. I put them in /usr/local/src and did the following:

# cd /usr/local/src
# tar -xzvf *.tar.gz
# cd mod_perl-2.0.1
# perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 \
MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/httpd-2.0.54 \
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork"
# make
# make install (this was all successful, and said it built mod_perl.a)
# cd ../httpd-2.0.54
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/bin/apache2
# make
# make install

Everything works now up to this point. But if I run `httpd -l` it does NOT show mod_perl.c! I edited the httpd.conf file and when I try to start the server with that file, it complains about my line "LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so" because mod_perl.so doesn't exist. If I comment that line out, it later complains about my two lines that say:

PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlModule Apache::Session


which makes sense. My question is, any idea why mod_perl.so isn't getting built and placed into the /usr/bin/apache2/modules directory? It should be there because I've configured mod_perl with the exact options the installation manual says to on perl.apache.org AND I point it to the proper apache src directory, so it should be passing in the proper options to apache when I build that.

Here's what my httpd stuff looks like right now:

-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"




Am I missing a step here or something? Or am I doing something I'm not supposed to? If I remember correctly, to get this working with mod_perl 1.0 and apache1.3, one never actually compiled the stuff in the mod_perl directory, but rather the configure script passed parameters to the httpd src dir, and then when compiling httpd, it would link over to the modperl stuff. It appears that I have to build mod_perl now. I'm not getting it to work either way though, so if anyone knows what's wrong, please let me know. I'm stumped! Thanks in advance!
