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

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

Randy,

Thanks for your help.

perl -MApache2 -Mmod_perl -e 'print
$mod_perl::VERSION'
still reports mod_perl-1.29, even after I have done a
"make uninstall" in the mod_perl-1.29 source
directory, and I have installed the mod_perl-1.99 RPM.
Is there any way I can force an unload of
mod_perl-1.29?

Thanks,
IO
