Mod_perl versus Covalent Raven SSL.

Post #1 of 4 (1214 views)

Hi! I'm a little new to mod_perl and very new to Covalent, and I'm having
a problem. I'm running Apache-1.3.11 on FreeBSD 3.4-stable with mod_perl
1.21. When I try to patch Apache with Covalents patches and run it with
mod_perl as a DSO, I get httpd children sigsegving all over the place.
I haven't captured a dump; at the time it was running in /usr/local, which
wasn't writable by httpd. It doesn't matter if SSL is on or off, but if
I remove mod_perl, the crashes cease immediately.

Just FYI, I'm running the FreeBSD ports collection version of Apache 1.3.11
and of mod_perl (p5-Apache as it's known there). I would like to keep that
structure if at all possible, although I did try to build them together
according to the APACI instructions in mod_perl, which no joy. Same symptoms.

So, has anyone else seen this, and, if so, do they have a workaround or any
hints as to one? (I'm a moderate-to-good Perl programmer and a Unix kernel
hacker, so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.)

Thanks.

Not as new as the guy who wrote mod_perl, he starts work there
tomorrow so you should be OK...

Well, actually I managed to figure it out on my own, from a hint on the
Covalent site, hidden deep in one of the FAQs. It turns out that if you
already have mod_perl installed when you install Raven, that's bad. First,
uninstall mod_perl, then patch Apache from the Raven distribution and
configure, build and install it, _then_ rebuild mod_perl and install it.
This works.

Raven apparently changes the loading mechanism enough that it's incompatible
with the prebuilt mod_perl.

Perhaps this should go into a FAQ somewhere?

Yes, please send it to me and I'll add it to the Guide.

Thank you.
