PerlRequire

[Florence Dardenne <da...@sceb.ucl.ac.be>]

Hi,

I've been search all the guides and never found the answer to next
question : I have mod_perl 1.26 correctly installed with Apache 1.3.22.
When I include in the httpd.conf file this kind of line "Include
/home/me/auto-apache.conf" which has a PerlRequire command like
"PerlRequire /home/me/bin/startup.pl", I have an error saying :

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

Does mod_perl 1.26 includes the 'PerlRequire' functionality or do I need
higher version ?

Thanks a lot for helping,

Florence Dardenne.

All versions of mod_perl have that feature.  You must not have mod_perl 
compiled into that server.  See this entry in the guide:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html#How_can_I_tell_whether_mod_perl_

As Perrin stated, mod_perl 1.26 does have this directive. The issue is 
probably that mod_perl isn't correctly installed. See 
http://thingy.kcilink.com/modperlguide/install/How_can_I_tell_whether_mod_perl_.html 
to find out if it is(the answer is most probably now), then read the 
Guide's installation section.

You probably forgot some part of the process. You should re-do it step by 
step or see if you forgot something obvious.
