Problem starting Apache after installing RT

Brett_Barnhart · June 9, 2004, 6:58pm

Apache - 2.0.49
Perl - 5.8.4
MySQL - 4.0.20
RT- 3.0.11

This is a clean system running Fedora set up as a server

I’ve had to do a lot more then the instructions on installing on Fedora, but
I now have it really close.

After I add the new text to /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

namely:

ServerName hkrt.hkusa.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/rt3/share/html
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

PerlSetVar MasonArgsMethod CGI
PerlModule Apache2 Apache::compat
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1/index.html [PT]


PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /usr/local/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

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

I get this error when I try to start my server
( /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start)

“Syntax error on line 1057 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command ‘PerlSetVar’, perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration”

Any ideas?
Thanks

You don’t have mod_perl properly installed or you don’t have LoadModule
directive in Apache conf.

I think part of the problem is that I now have 2 servers installed… time
to start over from scratch… each time I get a little farther!

mod-perl is not installed correctly

Brett_Barnhart · June 9, 2004, 8:02pm

OK… I am getting much closer now, so I decided not to start over.

Now I am getting the error message

Same with mod_rewrite

Reinstall RT using configure options: --with-web-user, --with-web-group.
It must be user that apache runs with.

Brett_Barnhart · June 10, 2004, 1:18pm

This is a silly question, but how can I tell what version of mod_perl I have
installed?

I’ve tried mod_perl -version
perl mod_perl -version

Thanks!

look into main apache error log after startup

Brett_Barnhart · June 10, 2004, 2:24pm

OK, I just tried to restart httpd after upgrading Perl and I am getting
this error.

httpd failed. The error was: Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 10 of
/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_perl.so into server: libperl.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’ve double checked, and mod_perl.so is in this directory.
Any suggestions?
(I am getting a crash course in Linux this last week).

Thanks!

Brett.

There is several step-by-step guides:
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/?InstallationGuides

mod_perl is well documented project.

You need working perl 5.8.3 or greater.
Then you should instal Apache+mod_perl

a) Apache1+mp1:

Is static compilation and it is recomended.

b) Apache2+mp2 is not recomended for production use yet, but in any case
you can find install docs there too.

And only when you finally get positive answer on next question
mod_perl: mod_perl Installation
you can return to RT install process.
```
 		Best regards. Ruslan.
