[DESPERATE] Problems with apache-php3perl SRPM

["Ian C.Sison" <ia...@qsr.com.ph>]

Hi all,

I've tried working with the apache-php3perl SRPM which was posted on the 

http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html

page.  It's an SRPM that is designed to statically link in php3 and mod_perl
into the apache binary.  Basically, i can get the SRPM to compile, but i can't
seem to enable mod_perl.  I've already emailed the maintainer, but maybe any
one in the list can also point me to the right direction.

My procedure to setup is to first compile/and rebuild the SRPM to an RPM and
then install it with rpm -i

I then tried my luck and started apache, and it worked.

However when i tried enabling the config setting with the PerlHandler keyword:
(I commented out the <IfModule> because the SRPM builds mod_perl statically
into apache

# If the perl module is installed, this will be enabled. 
 #<IfModule mod_perl.c>
   Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
   <Location /perl>
     SetHandler perl-script
     PerlHandler Apache::Registry
     Options +ExecCGI
   </Location>
 #</IfModule>


If i do this i try to restart apache, i get this:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 862 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration      

Now i know the FAQ entries on this error code, but i know perl is included and
linked statically, so the keyword  PerlHandler should work.  Looking at httpd -l
I get:

Compiled-in modules:
  http_core.c
  mod_so.c
  mod_perl.c
  mod_php3.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec        


Then the maintainer wanted me to eliminate the possiblity of having another
httpd binary in my disk, so...  These are the only ones in my disk.  

[root@mikmik /]# find / -name httpd -type f -print -exec ls -l {} \;

 i quote httpd -V

  -D RESOURCE_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf"                 

I've tried also on other hardware so it's not that either.  Has anyone tried
to build apache with mod_perl statically?  Can anyone  replicate this problem,
because i'm at my wits end.
