My installation is Debian based which has some apache 2.0.55-4 and some modperl 2.0.2-2. Let me know if you need further details.
My configuration is nearly completely the default one and I have only one <Perl> section which I keep in a separate file and which I "Include" from the default apache2.conf. This piece works: <Perl> $PerlConfig = "Alias /ping/ /tmp/ping/\n"; </Perl> <IfModule mod_asis.c> </IfModule> But the following doesn't: <Perl> $PerlConfig = "Alias /ping/ /tmp/ping/ <IfModule mod_asis.c> </IfModule> "; </Perl> The error message is: Starting apache 2.0 web server...Syntax error on line 2 of /services/mobile/framework/etc/httpd2.conf: $parms->add_config() has failed: Alias takes two arguments, a fakename and a realname at /usr/lib/perl5/Apache2/PerlSections.pm line 203.\n failed! and apache2 refuses to start. -- andreas
