Unable to start Apache after installing rt

Scott2 · February 1, 2002, 3:35pm

Having some problems getting Apache going after I installed rt. I’m
running Solaris 8 on a Sparc.

When I untar rt and run make testdeps it shows all the perlmods are
found…

$ make testdeps
/usr/bin/perl ./tools/testdeps -warn mysql
Checking for DBI 1.18 …found
Checking for DBIx::DataSource 0.02 …found
Checking for DBIx::SearchBuilder 0.48 …found

Checking for File::Temp…found
Checking for Log::Dispatch 1.6 …found
Checking for DBD::mysql 2.0416 …found

When I try to start Apache w/ modperl it gives me the following errors…

[Fri Feb 1 09:28:41 2002] [error] Can’t load

Here is what my httpd.conf entry looks like…

DocumentRoot /usr/local/rt2/WebRT/html ServerName mydomain PerlModule Apache::DBI PerlFreshRestart On PerlRequire /usr/local/rt2/bin/webmux.pl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler RT::Mason

If I comment out ‘use Apache::Cookie;’ in webmux.pl the webserver will
start, but then it complains because of the undefined subroutin. I’ve
tried reinstalling libapreq-0.33 but it doesn’t help.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m stuck.

Hi all,

I’m new to rt and I have just joined this list. Below is my answer to
Scotts problem. I sent it to him off list but thought that maybe some other
solaris folks might need to know this. This is what I did to get rt up and
running my Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. If anyone see any problem with what I
did please tell me, I’m not a developer these days so I just guess as to
adding the #undef main line in mod_perl.h.:

Scott,

I’m new to RT so I have just compiled apache with mod_perl myself and this
is what I had to do to get it to run.

Found a patch on the web, can’t remember where right now, that add the
following lines to src/modules/mod_perl.h starting on line 88:

#undef pergcomp
#undef setregid
#undef setreuid
#undef sync
#undef my_memcmp

The lines just above this are:

#include “EXTERN.h”
#include “perl.h”
#ifdef PERL_OBJECT
#define NO_XSLOCKS
#endif
#include “XSUB.h”

Once I did that I started to get error from httpd that is could not load the
mod_perl library because main was redefined, so I added the following line
below the ones added earlier:

#undef main

I then recompiled mod_perl and the apache and all is working now.

Also you need to down load Apache::DBI which is not in the testdeps list.
There is a FAQ about this at the rt web page.

I hope this help
