config.status for mod_perl ?

Hi,
 
I wanted to copy someone's existing modperl and apache
installation to my machine. Just as Apache keeps the
file config.status which can be rerun to create the
same configuration of Apache, is there any similar
file for modperl which has the parameters used for
modperl installation. 

Thanx.
Nick Mason

Hi,

The problem was that on our machines ( Solaris 2.6,
Apache 1.3.14, Modperl 1.26) we are constantly getting
a "child segmentation fault (11) ". One mail in the
news group suggested using PERL_USELARGEFILES=0 in
addition to the normal configuration for modperl
installation. We tried that with the command :

% perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/perl/apache_1.3.14/src 
 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1
PERL_USELARGEFILES=0

% make && make test && make install

but we got the following message :

[snip]
modules/module......skipped test on this platform
modules/perlrun.....FAILED before any test output
arrived
modules/psections...skipped test on this platform


....

Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of
failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
modules/perlrun              ??   ??       %  ??
6 tests skipped.
httpd terminated
Failed 1/34 test scripts, 97.06% okay. 0/374 subtests
failed, 100.00% okay.
make: *** [run_tests] Error 29


After this we were stuck up, hence thought of copying
the existing installation on a similar machine which
seems to be working !.

Thanx
Nick.

There isn't really just one file which you can copy to install
mod_perl, and because installations tend to differ so very much from
one to another it doesn't usually make much sense to try to copy a
configuration from one machine to another.  If you look in the Guide
you'll find it very easy to get a simple configuration running, and
there are many links there to other documents which will help too - in
particular the Eagle Book.
