libapreq2 2.12 with mod_perl 2.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.4

[Matthias Schmitt <fr...@mmp.lu>]

Hello,

since a few days I am trying to get the following combination to work on Mac OS X 10.6.4

- Apache 2.2.15
- Perl 5.10.1
- mod_perl 2.0.4
- libapreq2 2.12

The tests of libapreq2 always fail.
I tried nearly everything, so I am desperate enough to call this list for help after three days banging my head against the keyboard.

Here is what I do

1. Installing Perl

export CFLAGS="-fPIC"
export CPPFLAGS="-fPIC"
export LDFLAGS="-fPIC"
./Configure -des -Dprefix=/Somewhere/perl5 -Dusethreads -Duseshrplib
make
make test
make install

I am getting these warnings while testing:

ext/List-Util/t/p_refaddr.....................................Hexadecimal number > 0xffffffff non-portable at ../lib/Scalar/Util/PP.pm line 44.
lib/locale....................................................FAILED at test 99

I am ignoring these as Perl is running fine and I know the locale test is failing by a known character set problem in Mac OS X.

2. Installing several Perl modules via CPAN required by the Apache HTTP Request library.

All tests finish successfully.

3. Installing Apache

./configure --prefix=/Somewhere/httpd --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-dav --enable-rewrite --enable-ssl --enable-proxy --enable-proxy_http --enable-auth-digest --with-mpm=worker --with-included-apr
make
make install

I am running several tests and Apache is working fine.

4. Installing mod_perl

perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/Somewhere/httpd
make
make test
make install

I am getting there errors
t/hooks/authen_basic...........ok 1/4# Failed test 4 in t/hooks/authen_basic.t at line 26
t/hooks/authen_basic...........FAILED test 4
	Failed 1/4 tests, 75.00% okay
t/hooks/authen_digest..........ok                                   
t/hooks/authz..................ok 1/4# Failed test 4 in t/hooks/authz.t at line 19
t/hooks/authz..................FAILED test 4

As I do not intend to use these handlers for now, I ignore the problem and continue. 

I am running several of my own test programs and Apache with mod_perl is always working fine.

5. Installing libapreq2

./configure --prefix=/Somewhere/libapreq2 --with-apache2-apxs=/Somewhere/httpd/bin/apxs --with-expat=builtin --enable-perl-glue 

The following tests fails with a loooong timeout:

------------
/Somewhere/httpd/bin/httpd  -d /Somewhere/libapreq2-2.12/glue/perl/t -f /Somewhere/libapreq2-2.12/glue/perl/t/conf/httpd.conf -D APACHE2 -D PERL_USEITHREADS
using Apache/2.2.15 (worker MPM)

waiting 60 seconds for server to start: .[Fri Jul 16 17:25:00 2010] [warn] PassEnv variable PERL5LIB was undefined
.
waiting 60 seconds for server to start: ok (waited 1 secs)

------------

I am aborting here manually via ^c as there is obviously a major problem. While waiting for the single tests to finish the https process uses a lot of CPU power, so there is something happening, which looks to me like an indefinite loop.

When I am looking into t/logs/error_log I can see errors like:

[Mon Jul 19 09:50:15 2010] [debug] mod_apreq_access_test.c(93): [client 127.0.0.1] (20014)Internal error: test not found: paring error detected (no param table)

[Mon Jul 19 09:50:15 2010] [debug] mod_apreq2.c(521): [client 127.0.0.1] (70008)Partial results are valid but processing is incomplete: cannot steal context: bad filter status

Here some more information from Apache:

Any idea how to trace this problem?

Thank you.

Best regards
