mod_perl non-configurability ???



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.

I am having quite a bad time installing mod_perl on my system.  Please,
can you help me?

   /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?
