Apache problem

[Youlette Etienne_2]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to restart apache after a ssytem reboot, and I am getting the below error message. I uninstalled perl 5.6.1 and installed perl 5.8.0, however, the same was done on a development server where Apache is starting normally. Is there a way to resolve this without reinstalling apache?

Check the PATH and SHLIB_PATH of the user that starts apache.

Clearly something is trying to use the old PERL.

If you need to remove and reinstall apache, you should preserver your httpd.conf and other configuration files.

I think you will see environmental differences between the server that works and the one that does not, apache user.

Hi Youlette,

If you look at that apachectl file it's just a script. And in that script on line 29 you'll find:

export PERL5LIB=/opt/apache/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi:$PERL5LIB

SO where did you install that 5.8.0 perl?
Are you setting a PERL5LIB from that new perl?
Do you still have that Apache supplied perl & in the same location?

Rgds,
Jeff
