I think (i’m not a linux guru), i got Apache with mod_perl installed
correctly. How can I check this?
Anyway when I try to start up Apache i get the following error:
=======================Start error message
Starter httpd: Syntax error on line 750 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

Theres allso all sorts of other stuff in it that I dont understand.
Does anybody have a hint as to what might be wrong?
Can’t locate Apache/DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . /etc/httpd/ /etc/httpd/lib/perl) at (eval 4)
I just checked, and DBI.pm is located on 3 places:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/DBI.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/bundle/DBI.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/Session/Store/DBI.pm
It should find the first one right, cause this one is in @INC above. So
I guess it is a permission problem, or what?
Olav!
Olav,
you actually answered your question already…
DBI.pm isn’t located anywhere in ther @INC paths:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/etc/httpd/
/etc/httpd/lib/perl
Try either reinstalling DBI.pm by hand compiling it (perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install) or make a symlink (not the best solution!) so it points to the DBI.pm where it is located… ln -s /usr/lib/perl/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/DBI.pm /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/DBI.pm .
That should fix your problem.

First solution didn’t (reinstalling it by hand, perl Makefile.PL, make,
make test, make install), no errors though, but I still cant start
Apache. Same error.

Second sugestion didn’t work either…

In one of your @INC directories, there should be a subdirectory named
‘Apache’. In that directory, DBI.pm should exist. If it does, you have a
permissions problem (the user running the web server must be able to read
the file, and have at least execute permission on all directories leading
to where the file is).
You can find the file by invoking ‘locate’, ie: (note that not any old
DBI.pm will do, we want one in a directory named ‘Apache’)
locate DBI.pm | grep Apache
If that doesn’t work, brute force will:
find / -path \*Apache/DBI.pm -print
If you really don’t have Apache/DBI.pm, you need to install it manually,
via:
perl -MCPAN -e'install Apache::DBI'
( you will probably also need to rinse and repeat for Apache::Session.
See http://www.fsck.com/rtfm/ and search for ‘Apache::’ )

This found: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/Sessions/Store/DBI.pm

How do I rinse?
Olav!

Perl will see the above file as Apache::Sessions::Store::DBI , not quite
the file you want. You’re wanting something like
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/DBI.pm .
Use CPAN as per the previosu mail and you’ll be all set to go.

…
Ah. Its a slang expression to indicate that you might have to repeat the
previous procedure for something else. It derives from the common
Shampooing instructions ‘Lather well into hair. Rinse, Repeat’. Note
that the lack of an end-condition is the reasons why most Programmers have
wild, unkempt hair.

If you really don’t have Apache/DBI.pm, you need to install it manually,
via:
perl -MCPAN -e’install Apache::DBI’
Worked 
( you will probably also need to rinse and repeat for Apache::Session.
See http://www.fsck.com/rtfm/ and search for ‘Apache::’ )
Now I can start httpd, but got another problem when trying to access it
Internal Server error, and this entry in /var/log/httpd/error_log:
[Sat Feb 2 15:43:49 2002] [error] Can’t write to
‘/var/log/rt.log.21089.0’: Permission denied at

What permissions are wrong?
I tried to change owner and group to rt:rt, and root:rt. Allso tried
chmod g+w rt.log* in var/log

The user that your web server runs as is trying to create a log file for
RT as defined in etc/config.pm . I would suggest that you create a
directory ‘/var/log/rt’, chown that directory to be the web user, and edit
etc/config.pm ($LogDir) to point to that directory.
