Could you be a little more detailed, as with regards to the problems you
are seeing.

Also, do you have mod_perl compiled as a DSO?

I’m running those versions and have no problems.

What problems do you have? We can’t help you if you don’t get specific.On Wednesday 09 January 2002 10:50 am, Doug Needham wrote:

As you can see I have Mason working I have done a few small things with it
so I know it actually works.
My problem is when I have this line in httpd.conf

PerlRequire /opt/rt2/bin/webmux.pl

Apache dies at startup.
[root@needham5 root]# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
[root@needham5 root]# /etc/init.d/httpd status
httpd dead but subsys locked
[root@needham5 root]#

These commands were issued a few seconds apart.

I have an strace of apache if anyone wants it.

The command I used to build mod_perl was :

perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=%{_sbindir}/apxs EVERYTHING=1
make

All of these components apache, mod_per,perl where all built on this machine.

The guidance I am looking for here is :
Where do I look to troubleshoot this?
Has anyone run into the same problem before?
Where do I go from here?

Thanks for the help and suggestions so far.

Okay, so you’re building mod_perl as a DSO. RT’s README says:
If you compile mod_perl as a DSO, you’re on your own. It’s known to
have massive stability problems.

I suggest you try building Apache and mod_perl with DSO disabled
http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html.

Also, it might be worth looking in Apache’s error log to see if there
are any clues in there.

Depends on your system and your perl. With FreeBSD 4.x and the system
perl, the only issue is a massive memory leak on apache restart:
cure is to stop/start the server instead.

I’m doing testing with FreeBSD 4.x and perl 5.6.1 to see if the same
memory leak occurs. The expectation is that the leak will go
away… hmm quick test shows much smaller leak on restart, but still
there.

There are no stability issues at all with this configuration.
