Apache/mod_perl packages ... not configured properly?
Hello all,
After much banging of head against the desk, I am compelled to seek help
on the list. My problem is with Apache 1.3.3-3 and mod_perl 1.16-1. I
compiled both of them from slink source packages. After ensuring that I
had the proper libraries, it went flawlessly. I made sure the mod_perl
line was not commented out in /etc/apache/httpd.conf . I restart Apache
and check http://localhost/perl-status and it indicates everything is
peachy keen with perl and apache.
Yet, now I can no longer run even simple CGI scripts, much less Perl
scripts. Yes, I'm 99% sure the correct permissions are enabled in
/etc/apache/auth.conf . I get the 500 error: "premature end of script
headers" returned to the user and logged on my side. Even with
something simple as /cgi-bin/fortune, which can be executed just fine
from the command line (as can all my other perl scripts) and works just
fine with mod_perl commented out. It's only when mod_perl is activated
can I not run scripts.
Thus it seems mod_perl is to blame only I haven't the slightest idea
what to do about it. Can anyone offer some insight? Or perhaps someone
can send me a .deb package of an older mod_perl that you are sure
works? Perhaps the problem is with this recent Apache?!? I am trying
to get the slashdot code up and running on my site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
