Compiled-in but not recognized

[Colin <cp...@system03.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I know this is a recurring problem but bear with me ...

Outputs:

httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
mod_perl.c

Now, when i try to add the usual:
<Location /cgi-bin/b*.pl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options -Indexes ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>

I also get the usual:
Syntax error on line 1141 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration

How can this be when the mod_perl module is clearly compiled in the binary
(and without errors).
Compiled in as:
MOD_PERL:

perl Makefile.PL \
APACHE_SRC=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.26/src \
NO_HTTPD=1 \
USE_APACI=1 \
PREP_HTTPD=1 \
EVERYTHING=1

make
make install


APACHE
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-module=most \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a

make
make install

Any adivce on this????

PETER.

Hi thanks,

Yes I have established the server is running only 1 http binary
so it is the correct one. Having tried almost all the build types
from the mod_perl docs site (over 2 days!), the result is still the same.

It works find via a DSO though.

Perhaps if we start have a flood of similar problems then it would
indicate a problem with the current versions of apache or mod_perl.

I would hope ;)

Just to update that I thankfully have this working now :)
It was a corrupted mod_perl.c file from the source tree that was causing the
issue.

Thanks.

I think that Ged was suggesting you might have multiple httpd binaries
on your system, and was suggesting that you verify you're running the
binary you think you're running.

It's really annoying when you're trying to debug a program, and the
program you're running is not the one you're adding the debugging
statements to.  However, I suspect most of us have done it on occasion.

Hi thanks,

I'm running the very latest versions and a new build:

mod_perl-1.27
apache_1.3.26 (unix)

I have also tried nearly all the build types presented at the mod_perl site
but the result is always the same - mod_perl seems not to be recognized as
being in the httpd binary!

Tell us which of the httpd binaries on your system you're running????
