mod perl issues/ cpan won't make properly

["Hodge, Jeff F (ECIII)" <Je...@yuma.army.mil>]

I'm having a lot of problems with installing mod_perl/apache/ properly.
Also installing through CPAN is an issue with certian modules as well.

Suse 8.0/ linux 2.4/perl5.8.0/mod_perl1.28Apache1.3.28/


Here's how I installed mod_perl/apache:

cd apache_1.3.28
./configure --enable-module=so  
cd mod_perl_1.28
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC= /dloads/apache_mod_perl/apache_1.3.28/src
DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/httpd_perl
make && make test && make install




After mod_perl is installed with Apache,  I went to start the apachetl.  It
won't start saying that it is missing some modules.
Why won't it start after the installation? I tried to install the apache
bundle to see if that would help.
So using Cpan I tried to install the Bundle::Apache...which bombs out saying
:
   Why won't CPAN install this bundle
...tail

Hello there,

I don't like the look of that.  Please send *exactly* what you did.
Have you got the mod_perl directory inside the apache directory?
Your directories should be somethign like this:

/dloads/apache_mod_perl/apache_1.3.28/
/dloads/apache_mod_perl/mod_perl-1.28/

> perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC= /dloads/apache_mod_perl/apache_1.3.28/src
> DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/httpd_perl
> make && make test && make install

What is the user that's running this?  Don't do the first three steps
as root, only do the 'make install' as root:

% perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC= /dloads/apache_mod_perl/apache_1.3.28/src \
 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/httpd_perl
% make
% make test
% su
Password:
# make install
# exit
%

That backslash on the first line is important.  If you've done
everything as root and if you have the mod_perl directory inside the
apache one, then it's best to remove the directories and start again.

Don't worry about it for now, you don't need it for your mod_perl Apache.

Looks like you compiled this Perl yourself using gcc 2.95.3 a couple
of days ago, is that right?  Did the Perl tests all pass OK?
