[mp2] gets absurdCan't fork!!! (with v 1.99_09)
A quick problem summary. I'm trying to install mod_perl.
I run:
perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/httpd-2.0.45
MP_INST_APACHE2=1
make
When I run the make test I get "gets absurdCan't fork!!!"
when mod_perl tries to start apache.
t/TEST gives me:
mod_perl-1.99_09-dev]# t/TEST -apxs
/usr/local/httpd-2.0.45/bin/apxs
*** setting ulimit to allow core files
ulimit -c unlimited; t/TEST -apxs
'/usr/local/httpd-2.0.45/bin/apxs'
*** root mode: changing the fs ownership to 'nobody' (99:99)
/usr/local/httpd-2.0.45/bin/httpd -d
/usr/src/mod_perl-1.99_09-dev/t -f
/usr/src/mod_perl-1.99_09-dev/t/conf/httpd.conf -DAPACHE2
using Apache/2.0.45 (prefork MPM)
waiting for server to start: .() gets absurdCan't fork!!!
server has died with status 97 (t/logs/error_log wasn't
created, start the server in the debug mode)
I start the server in debug mode:
mod_perl-1.99_09-dev]# t/TEST -debug -apxs
/usr/local/httpd-2.0.45/bin/apxs

Here are my apache compile settings (apachectl -V), I
don't know if this is useful or not:

-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"
I'm also using mod_php.
I'm not sure what else I would need to include for a
complete bug report. My appologies if I am overlooking
anything.
Also I would be would like to try upgrading to the current
stable distribution of perl if somone can tell me the best
way to do that on redhat 7.something. Should I remove my
old perl installation first?
Thanks,
Pete

I can't find any references to this error message in the perl-5.6.1,
apache-2.0.45 or mod_perl-1.99_09 sources. Can you check whether it's php that
spits it? Download the source and grep for 'absurd'.

What happens if you build and run the test as a user, not 'root'?

this is for post-installed mod_perl, before it's installed you can run
t/REPORT, but your report is fine, so no need to resend it.

I suspect that this is your problem. Apache::Test probably inherits loading of
mod_php. Run:
t/TEST -conf
now edit t/conf/httpd.conf and comment out the line that loads mod_php. now
try to run the tests:
t/TEST
did it work?

You should ask this question on the redhat support list. I haven't used RH for
awhile, they have special tools for upgrading packages.
