Mailing List Archive: ApacheCommon.pm configuration error

It seems that ApacheCommon.pm is auto-generated, because it was
different on two systems I have, both of which have the same versions of
Apache::ASP (2.59) installed.

Both of these systems have Apache 2.0.x and mod_perl 1.99_09 installed.
On one system, this file referenced the older Apache module names
(e.g. Apache::RequestRec), while on the other, it the newer names from
the Great mod_perl Renaming (e.g. Apache2::RequestRec). This renaming
happened long after the _09 release. Because we're trying to keep both
of these systems as close to 'stock' as possible, we can't install
mod_perl 2.0 to make Apache::ASP happy.

The system where ApacheCommon.pm was generated correctly is a Red Hat
Linux 9 system. The other one is a CentOS 3.5 (a clone of RH Enterprise
Linux 3.5) system. I just went into the CentOS system's copy of this
file with a text editor and hacked it to match the RH9 system, and
Apache::ASP then began working fine.

Can you fix this, Josh, or do you want me to dig into the code and make
a patch?

The Apache::ASP::ApacheCommon file is not auto generated, it simply comes
with Apache::ASP. 2.59 was tweaked to work with the latest mod_perl,
so to work after the great renaming, so you probably want to use an older version
of Apache::ASP, and make sure to first get rid of all Apache/ASP/* files
on your systems before reinstalling 2.57.

Please make sure that the version of Apache::ASP that you are installed
works with the version of mod_perl you are using in a test environment first.

_09 is pretty old, so I would probably upgrade that at some point and
use the latest Apache::ASP which is tweaked to work with recent mod_perls.

If you can find out something else that happened here, I'd be happy
to hear about it.
