mod_perl and RedHat 6

2012-05-01 Thread Dan Axtell
I'm trying to migrate a server to a new machine running 64-bit RedHat 6. The stock RedHat setup is apache 2.2.15, php 5.3.3 and perl 5.10.1. Normally I build the latest Apache 2.2 and Perl/mod_perl in /usr/local and just use that. However, this server will also use Drupal so I figured I'd bui

Hello, I'm looking at upgrading some legacy code that runs under mod_perl with an eye towards making it more scalable. I understand the value of having one light-weight server for static content, and a reverse proxy back to a heavy-weight Apache with mod_perl, and I understand I can use some

Building mod_perl 2.0.5

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade some 64-bit Linux servers and though I'd upgrade Perl as well. I've built the latest Apache (2.0.21), Perl (5.14.2) and mod_perl (2.0.5), but mod_perl fails three tests: api/request_rec filter/out_str_reverse err_headers_out When I went ahead and installed this on a

OK, so I followed the guidelines and changed mod_perl, Apache2::*, constants, etc. I had to uncomment a reference to Apache2::Connection so references to $r->connection->remote_ip() would work. At that point, I can restart the server and load SessionManager, but the minute I try to connect to
