Trouble installing Apache::Request

RT Users
1

Hello all:

This is my first post to this list, so forgive me if this is somewhat OT.
I’m trying to install the prerequisites for rt, and all was going well until
I got to Apache::Request. I’m running on a linux redhat 8.0 system, with
Apache 1.3.27 and mod_perl 1.27 (compiled static into apache). I had to
rebuild apache and mod_perl from sources. I’m using the interactive CPAN
shell to do the install. When I try ‘install Apache::Request’, the make
command succeeds, but ‘make test’ fails all tests. It looks like httpd is
being started OK. It is located in usr/local/apache. In response to the
questions make test asks, I enter the usr/local/apache path. All other
questions I just take the defaults.

I’m not sure if there is a real problem here. It could be that I don’t have
apache, etc, set up correctly, though I did start apache using the apachectl
(?) command, and it successfully started and showed the default home page.
I’m an apache, mod_perl, linux, rt newbie, though I do know perl. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Rad

Alle,

I'm running RH7.3, mysql/4.0.12-0, modperl/1.26. I've installed perl 5.8 in

/usr/local, alongside the default 5.6 that comes with RH. I have gotten all
modules to install in /usr/local/lib/perl5 running:

/usr/local/bin/perl
./sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql --with-modperl1 --install

EXCEPT Apache::Request. I get the following error:

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed

When I check the error log, I find that it cannot find Apache/Test.pm

because it’s looking in the 5.6.1 locs in /usr/lib/perl5 vice the newly
installed 5.8.0 locs in /usr/local/lib/perl5:

Hi,

I had the same problem today, although I don’t have the answer as of yet I’m
working with the same issue. However I force installed Apache::Request and
the problem then shows up in the httpd.conf file. I don’t recommend doing
the force.-----Original Message-----

ok. did you previously configure libapreq under 5.6, and somehow
it’s retaining that configuration?
Can you blow away the ~/.cpan/build/libapreq-1.2 dir and retry
the install from CPAN?

Also check if there is any perl 5.6 binary calling itself “perl”
anywhere in the path, perhaps… I’m wondering if the libapreq
build is somehow picking that over the 5.8 binary…

Phil,

Yes, libapreq was previously built under 5.6.1 for our RT2 installation.

But that was done under /root/.cpan as root with /usr/bin/perl (5.6.1) and
all the new stuff has been done under ~cwfox/.cpan using sudo with
/usr/local/bin/perl (5.8.0). All the other modules have installed with no
problems.

Camron

ok. The basic problem we’re having here seems to be: Somehow libapreq
is picking up 5.6 instead of 5.8. Correct?

What does the Makefile in ~/.cpan/build/libapreq-1.2 look like?
Does it reference 5.8 or 5.6? In particular, what does it say
PERL_LIB, PERL_ARCHLIB, PERL and FULLPERL are?

Apache::test is required for libapreq…did you try to re-build ap::test
after your upgraded to 5.8.1. I would try to re-build apache::test, then
re-build libapreq, and see if that works.From: Camron W. Fox [mailto:cwfox@fujitsu.com]
