Installation of mod_perl

[Kiran Banoor <kb...@earthweb.com>]

Hi,
I am trying to install mod_perl on Sun Solaris/Apache 1.3.4, but am unable
to do so.
I Make File by setting EVERYTHING=1, & when I Make Test, I get the following
error:-

letting apache warm up...Syntax error on line 3 of
>/web/apache/src/modules/mod_perl-1.22/t/conf/srm.conf:
>Invalid command 'PerlTransHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
>module not included in the server configuration

Please help..
Thanks...
Kiran

The error is from Apache, complaining that you have given it a
configuration directive which it does not understand.  Configuration
directives can be invented by the creator of any Apache module, and
then the module has to tell Apache how to something with them.  This
directive (PerlTransHandler) was invented by the inventor of mod_perl,
so it is mod_perl that has to tell Apache waht do with it.  But
mod_perl doesn't seem to be there.  Oops.

This means that your httpd binary doesn't have mod_perl compiled in or
loaded into it or activated.  I don't know which because you didn't
tell me enough about your configuration.  It could just mean that you
aren't running the httpd binary that you built.

Read the SUPPORT doc to find out what information to supply so that
you don't have to wait longer than necessary for your answers.

And read the Guide...  http://perl.apache.org/guide

You can try searching it for

Invalid command 'PerlTransHandler'
