Yes, I know that this list is not intended for bug reports. I am not sure if this is a bug, or I am doing something wrong. I have not been able to complete subscription to this mailing list via http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe; so, I humbly request that I be cc'd on every reply -- please. Daniel Jacobowitz said, ``Sorry, but I no longer use or maintain mod_perl. You may want to ask debian-apache@lists.debian.org.'' I am having quite a bad time installing mod_perl on my system. Please, can you help me? # sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart Reloading apache modules/etc/init.d/apache: line 70: 19518 Segmentation fault start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON failed # COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^i | cut -c 0-50 ii apache 1.3.27.0-2 ii apache-common 1.3.27.0-2 ii libapache-mod-jk 3.3.1a-1 ii libapache-mod-perl 1.27-4 ii libapache-mod-perl-doc 1.29.0.1-1cvs20031206 ii libapache-mod-webapp 1.3.0-1.0.ipv6.r1 # ls -l /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 327584 Apr 14 2003 /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so # grep -i perl /etc/apache/httpd.conf | grep mod LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so # dpkg -L libapache-mod-perl | grep -i read | sort /usr/share/doc/libapache-mod-perl/README.gz /usr/share/doc/libapache-mod-perl/examples/README Apache works just fine *without* that LoadModule line, and no other changes to httpd.conf repeatedly result in this error. I cannot find a README.Debian, nor have I found any manual instructions for configuring httpd.conf. I _did_ manually add the LoadModule line, since I have had to do that before on other systems. mod_php install offers to do that automatically; but, mod_perl installation offered no such assistance. I have posted this to debian-user (no response), and modperl@perl.apache.org, from which I got this response: We think it'd be very helpful to get the backtrace of the segfault. Please see: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Of course, in order to get a backtrace, I need to re-build mod_perl. I am not comfortable with that, which is why I use your DEB. Tonight, I did this: sudo apt-get -u --purge remove apache apache-common libapache-mod-perl Then, I did this: sudo apt-get -u install apache apache-common info2www \ libapache-mod-jk libapache-mod-perl libapache-mod-webapp Even now, as long as this line is in /etc/apache/httpd.conf: LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so # sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart /usr/sbin/apachectl: line 171: 22638 Segmentation fault $HTTPD -t >/dev/null 2>&1 /usr/sbin/apachectl restart: configuration broken, ignoring restart /usr/sbin/apachectl restart: (run 'apachectl configtest' for details) # sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl configtest /usr/sbin/apachectl: line 171: 22641 Segmentation fault $HTTPD -t What do you think? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
