problems with make test, server not starting

[Richard <ha...@btinternet.com>]

Deal All.

This is really starting to pick away at my patience.

I simple cannot get mod_perl installed.

Installed Apache 1.3.14 easy peasy.

I am making mod_perl with EVERYTHING=1 and
APACHE_PREFIX=/some/location/to/apache

Even without any of the options, for makefile.pl, i am getting the same damn
error.

"Waiting for server to warm up.......... server failed to start!"

Another guy had the same problem in January this year, and i have followed Stas
Berkman's advice for him, my /etc/hosts file is as it should be, and no idea if
loopback is configured correctly.

This is off a fresh install of Mandrake 7.0, i'm a complete linux newbie,
perhaps there is a switch i have not thrown that will let it all work ok?

argh! 

Any pointers would be soooo very much greatly appreciated.
