help adding mod_perl core dumps

[Pete Lancashire <pe...@pdxeng.com>]

I'm stuck with an old RedHat 5.2 box for a few months and am having troubles
with mod_perl, not with the RedHat RPM version.

I've loaded and built apache 1.3.12 with success

But when mod_perl 1.24 is added starting apache (httpd) core dumps.

Mod_perl was added this way:

perl Makefile.PL \
  APACHE_SRC=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.12 \
  DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 PREP_HTTPD=1 EVERYTHING=1

make;

make test fails this way

../apache_1.3.12/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t &
httpd listening on port 8529
will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log
letting apache warm up...\c
Syntax error on line 3 of
/usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.24/t/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '=pod', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration
done
/usr/bin/perl t/TEST 0
still waiting for server to warm up.........make: *** [run_tests]
Interrupt

The config file it is trying to use is in pod ? format ?

if I skip make test, do the make install,

re do my apache configure, adding

--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a

running httpd will coredump. Commenting out the added Load/Add
things run fine again.

Did I just skip something ?

thanks,
