perl-framework, Makefile.PL with -apxs gives error.

[Kanagasabai Sriskanthaverl <sr...@wso2.com>]

Hi,
I have come across this issue when i try to define the apxs argument to
point to an httpd installed in used defined location.
Here are the steps i have done. and it provided the error output given
below. Can any of u help me to get rid of it/ any work around to this. 
Note: t/TEST -apxs... also gives the same error.


1.  svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/test/trunk/
httpd-test 
2.  perl Makefile.PL
-apxs /home/sris/projects/ers-3-0-2/apache2.0/bin/apxs
3. make
4. t/TEST


OUTPUT

sris@sris:~/projects/temp/httpd-test/perl-framework$ t/TEST
[warning] setting ulimit to allow core files
ulimit -c
unlimited; /usr/bin/perl /home/sris/projects/temp/httpd-test/perl-framework/t/TEST
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string
at /home/sris/projects/temp/httpd-test/perl-framework/Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm line 407.


Thanks 

Regards

Hi
Thanks, -httpd works fine. 

The httpd binary has been built in a custom name like "httpsd.worker" in
my machine. That is the reason y apxs does not locate the httpd binary.
Sorry about it. it works after i renamed it to httpd.

well the error is a symptom of something gone awry higher up, notably the
inability of Apache-Test to find httpd.

if you specify -apxs then essentially

  $ path/to/apxs -q bindir

needs to point to the directory that contains the httpd binary.  if it
doesn't, or you have a really wacky configuration, just use -httpd instead
and you should be ok.
