Basic Help, RedHat
New to this list, so I'm sure that this has been covered, but hoping
someone can point me in the right direction. Hope this doesn't make
you laugh too hard, being such a newbie. Don't know where to turn,
but don't want to abandon this project.
I've been unsuccessful at trying to get mod_perl to work on RedHat
Linux. I'm willing to write the code either in mod_perl v1 or v2,
whichever I can get to work.
I'm attempting to use these pieces of software that comes straight from RedHat:
RedHat Linux O/S: 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp
Apache: 2.0.52 (Red Hat)
Perl: v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
and have made two attempts at mod_perl:
mod_perl: 1.99_16: (the one that comes with RedHat). I can't even
get Apache::Cookie to load, and a simple: $r->args does not give me
anything...... can't get $r->headers_out->add (or set) also errors.
and:
mod_perl: 2.0.2: I was totally unsuccessful at trying "make" this.
This version failed terribly with "make test", even some tests
%failed = 200% (Huh??). Even with lots of errors, I did install it,
but only with partial success. The Apache::compat did not seem to work neither.
Was thinking about apache 2.2.2 with mod_perl: 2.0.2, but noticed
someone had problems with that.
The part that is really frustrating was that someone built a combo
apache/mod_perl for windows that installed easily, and I was able to
prototype what I needed on there.
Thanks to anyone who can help,
Tom

Tom,
I've had no trouble with Red Hat packages and Apache or mod_perl in
the past.. but last time I did that, RH9 was just out. I can recommend
the following installation plan for Apache. It always worked for me,
on various linux dists.
http://www.delouw.ch/linux/apache.phtml
There is also a XAMPP version for Linux.. XAMPP is pretty much a
prepackaged apache + goodies. Good for a quick start (but I personally
stick to official packages or compiling from source).

Hi Tom
Here's the install script that I walk through to install Apache 2,
mod_perl 2 and libapreq. Done it on a number of machines including
redhat, and it works for me.
You may get errors along the way because of missing libraries. Just
install them and repeat the last step.
It installs apache to /opt/httpd.... and links it to /opt/apache/, so
you can stick your websites under /opt/apache, and when you want to
upgrade, just relink to the new directories in /opt/httpd....
