Can't load Perl module Apache::DBI for server

Okay. I have pushed my way through the installation of rt-3.4.1 on
CentOS 4.0. I am now trying to start apache and am getting an error as
follows:

[error] Can’t load Perl module Apache::DBI for server
rttest.progeny.com:0, exiting… [FAILED]

After googling, I determined that I needed to do:

perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Apache::DBI’

When I did this, though, it failed a test.

t/10mysql…NOK 5# Failed test (t/10mysql.t at line 35)

The object isn’t defined

t/10mysql…ok 10/10# Looks like you failed 1 tests of 10.
t/10mysqk…dubious
Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)

40.00%)

5 subtests skipped.

make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2
/usr/bin/make test – NOT OK
Running make installl
make test had returned bad status, won’t install without force

I tried the command again as:

perl -MCPAN -e ‘force install Apache::DBI’

and got basically the same failure.

I would appreciate any help to resolve this.

Probably.

IIRC, the DBI install requires that your database be installed and
running, and that you preconfigure some config file with a valid
username, password, and connect address for it.

nah dont do that

are going to use rt with mod_perl or with fastcgi ?

mod_perl as a dso is a really bad idea.

I am not at all sure. I guess I could remove the mod_perl (don’t know
how many dependencies this would affect) rpm and reinstall it from
source.

I have installed the perl-FCGI rpm. Still when I try to start apache, I
get errors. Here is what I have added to the httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.37:80>
ServerName rttest.progeny.com
DocumentRoot /opt/rt3/share/html
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
TimeOut 900

    PerlModule Apache::DBI
    PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

    <Location />
            SetHandler perl-script
            PerlHandler RT::Mason
    </Location>

The error I get is this:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1030 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command ‘PerlModule’, perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration
[FAILED]

Line 1030 is this:

PerlModule Apache::DBI

Any idea?

No, only if you wish to run the tests, and then only if you configure
the environment variables to actually run those tests.

I might, in fact, have skipped the tests, it’s been a while.

Yes, certainly: environment, not a file.
