Re: Can't upgrade from mod_perl 1.29 -> mod_perl 1.99

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/01/24]

It's hard to tell without knowing more details. I think that either you 
upgraded your Apache from 1.3x to 2.x or installed another Apache Server 
2.x. I assume that you had installed mod_perl 1.29 with Apache 1.3x and 
then upgraded to Apache 2.x & mod_perl 1.99. Because mod_perl 1.29 can not 
be installed with Apache 2.x and you mentioned that you have upgraded 
mod_perl from 1.29 to 1.99.

How did you compile mod_perl -- DSO or Static? Anyway, what version of 
mod_perl you see after restart your server:

     service httpd restart
     tail -10 /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

If you get the correct version (mod_perl 1.99). Then you have no problem 
with your installation. You can try to edit the following file 
(perllocal.pod) with any avilable editor in your system:

     vi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i686-linux/perllocal.pod

You will probably find multiple entries of mod_perl versions. Try to find 
the following lines from this file and delete them. Please do not delete 
anything outsite the tag "=head2"  & "=back". A sample entry could be as 
follows and you probably have more than one entries like this:


      =head2 Thu Dec  2 01:45:54 2003: C<Module> L<mod_perl|mod_perl>
      =over 4
      =item *
      C<installed into: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.x.x>
      =item *
      C<LINKTYPE: dynamic>
      =item *
      C<VERSION: 1.29>
      =item *
      C<EXE_FILES: >
      =back


(x - is the version number of your perl or apache)

I am not sure though - if it will work for you but you can try it before 
reinstalling perl since reinstalling perl could be the best solution.

Thanks


Khalid

|I am running Apache 2.0.40.
|
| The problem is that I am trying to compile some code
| that checks to see if mod_perl 1.99 is installed with
| the statement "use mod_perl 1.99;". This fails, even
| though I have installed the mod_perl 1.99 RPM and I am
| running a version of Apache 2.
|
| Clearly, Perl thinks I am still running mod_perl 1.29.
| How can I dissuade of this notion?

| Thanks,
