[JackNicolson]

Hi All,
I am installing mod_perl in my machine but getting some error below is the procedures which I followed for installing the mod_perl
Step1 : perl Makefile.PL MP_APR_CONFIG=/usr/local/apache2/bin/

asked for apache path given : /usr/local/apache2

Step2: make

Step 3: make test

In the above step I am getting error below is the part of error

/usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib \
t/TEST -clean
[warning] setting ulimit to allow core files
ulimit -c unlimited; /usr/bin/perl /home/Documents/mod_perl-2.0.4/t/TEST -clean

mod_perl 2 was built against Apache sources, we don't know where httpd/apxs executables are, therefore skipping the test suite execution at /home/Documents/mod_perl-2.0.4/Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm line 382.

Hi Jack:

A bit more information, beginning with:

1. What operating system? HP-UX, Linux, what Linux distribution?

2. What operating system version?

3. What Perl version?

...would be nice to post.

Regards!

Hi (again) Jack:

Well, it's been awhile :-)

There was no Perl 5.5. There was 5.005 and then 5.6.0, both of which are very old releases now.

If you aren't running at least 5.8.x I would begin by updating to that.

Regards!

Hi James,

The main issue is that I want to create a request handler in my apache server so that I can handle the user content request stored in my apache server with respect to url is sending. and add extra content accordingly, I asked in some java forums for the same and I got that using CGI script we can do that. I thought using mod_perl I can create that handler.

Thanks
