Mod_perl compiled statically: how?

I’ve seen on the list hints that Mason works better if Mod_perl is
compiled statically into apache. I have read a good article on
compiling it as DSO, but I don’t understand what ./configure options I
need to compile mod_perl statically. Can anyone show me the magic
incantation?

I am only now overcoming a childhood terror of Makefiles.

This is for anyone that wants some help with compiling Apache and mod_perl
and MySQL and PHP, with all the options you’d ever need…

Get Apache Tool Box from http://www.apachetoolbox.com

It’ll help you compile apache and any modules you might need… (ps, don’t
go crazy with options, just makes it tougher to debug sutff… and there
are incompatibilities between things that you don’t recognize… heh… I’ve
run into a couple with dynamic hosting and directory based dynamic hosting
plugins and stuff… sucks to be me :wink:

Some of us are trying to track down a problem with Segmentation Faults
appearing in the error_log when using RT 2.0.4/Apache 1.3.19/mod_perl
(statically compiled).

Can you confirm or deny that you’re seeing any of these msgs, along with
the associated CSS failure?

Thanks,
Dave

I am using RT 2.0.4/Apache 1.3.19/Mod_perl compiled statically and I also
am seeing Seg faults every so often. Also experiencing the CSS failure at
random times. I have not looked closely enough to say that the seg faults
and the CSS happen at the same time or not…

I confirm that.
[Thu Aug 9 12:07:15 2001] [notice] child pid 21627 exit signal Segmentation
fault (11)

This happen exactly when the CSS file does not load properly.

I looked Apache-Toolbox over briefly. I tried it the hard way instead.
Life story. I will give it a try next time. I did learn a lot though.

I finally stummbled upon this good web site:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/guide/install/index.html

Which gives very great detail on installing mod_perl with this one final
jewel:

% tar xzvf apache_x.x.x.tar.gz
% tar xzvf mod_perl-x.xx.tar.gz
% cd mod_perl-x.xx
% perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=…/apache_x.x.x/src
DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1
% make && make test && make install
% cd …/apache_x.x.x
% make install

This builds Apache statically with mod_perl, installs Apache under the
default /usr/local/apache tree and mod_perl into the site_perl hierarchy
of your existing Perl installation. All in one step.

This really worked. I’m done . Good night.

Hi,

one possible answer to this is tool called Apache-Toolbox.
Have a look at www.apachetoolbox.com .

The installation of static mod_perl as set out below works great, but how
would I go about installing mod_perl statically, but keeping DSO support for
other modules that I would wish to install later?

None of the install docs cover this, but it’s pretty simple. You
know that you can pass arbitrary APACI args to the apache build
process using APACI_ARGS, right? Add something like:

APACI_ARGS=‘–enable-module=so’

(Or add --enable-module=so to your existing APACI_ARGS argument
to Makefile.PL). This will build mod_so into your httpd, which
you can then use to load other modules. You can also add
–enable-shared=modname to your APACI_ARGS; if you do
–enable-shared=all be sure to also add a --disable-shared=perl.
