[ snip ] Welcome to the wonderful world of apache-perl vs. libapache-mod-ssl. After beating my head against this a few times I decided to trash apache-perl and just use apache with modules. Since I made that decision I've been a lot happier. nnorman@canaris:~ $ nc canaris 80 HEAD / HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 23:25:17 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) Debian/GNU mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6a mod_perl/1.25 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Note: some will (and have) suggested that you compile everything by hand. This works, but I've found that with your own mod_perl sooner or later you will run afoul of the debian perl policy. Since a working perl is important to me (even more important than a working apache) I've stuck with the debian packages and worked around package silliness instead. I find the default apache configs to be abominable; I hack them up quite a bit :) (sorry Johnie). For example, I run all my virtual hosts out of VirtualHost stanzas; I keep the global configuration to a minimum. I know that's not the answer you wanted to hear, but if you're interested in going this route and want to peek at my configs let me know. -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Ltd. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:nnorman@micromuse.com | -- Patton
