Hi Kathryn,

I suspect part of your problem is the APR 1.2.8.  Httpd2.2.6
seems to come with 1.2.11 -- Make sure to push apr-1-config
and apu-1-config out of your path, the configuration step is
probably detecting the older version and trying to build
against it. I'd try re-running ./configure and rebuilding
for httpd , then re doing the perl Makefile.PL ; make ; make
install for mod_perl, and embperl. 

Good luck,
Matt

Thanks, I'll try that.  Though I'm puzzled a bit because
GenToo has
marked apr 1.2.11 as unstable while Apache 2.2.6 is marked
stable, so
they must think that Apache 2.2.6 goes with apr 1.2.8; I
fear that
something will break.  But since things are already broken,
I guess it
can't hurt much.

So this was the original configuration?

I'm curious - what features in 2.2.6 do you need that 2.0.59
(latest is
.61 I think) doesn't provide? Any distro (and apache for
that matter)
will keep releasing security fixes for quite a while yet if
that was the
driver?

Seems a bit drastic based on 4 days of no solution to a
problem with the
absolute latest version of apache 2.2 but if there are other
drivers
then by all means.

>From previous messages to the list the embperl crowd
seems to be slower
to move to the latest and greatest - I know for myself I
still have at
least one large production site running on 1.3.6 and apache
1.3.x. If it
ain't broke and all that  This may
well be the reason noone has piped
up.

What is the latest combination of apache/embperl that is
supported by
your distro?

Apache 2.2.6 *is* the current supported version of Apache on
my distro
(GenToo).  That's why I was installing it; it was a routine
upgrade as
far as I was concerned.

I've been using Embperl 2.2.0 ever since there's been an
Embperl 2.2.0.

Wasn't what I asked - I asked what *combination* is
supported by GenToo.
I'm assuming from your response that embperl is not in the
GenToo
package system? Ie that it is not available with local
patches to
support the GenToo environment and software.

I've currently got embperl 2.2.0 deployed on debian stable
(etch) with
some local patches for cookie handling but that was a small
matter of
recompiling based on pre-provided and pre-patched source
code. I can
attest to the fact that it does work fine with the
following
environment:

Apache  2.2.3
Modperl 2.0.2
Libapr  1.2.7
Embperl 2.2.0

Looking at the most recent debian packages, the unstable
branch has the
following packages:

Apache  2.2.6
Modperl 2.0.2
Libapr  1.2.7 <---
Embperl 2.2.0

So I can assume that the older libapr did the trick with the
more recent
apache version.

If you use lower versions of libapr with later apache 2.2.6
then how do
you go?

If that is still failing then my advice to you at this point
would be to
stick to 2.0.59 and set up a VM with the latest and greatest
for
testing. 

If you're the first person to hit bugs with this particular
comination
of software then you'll want a platform available to work
with the
embperl powers-that-be (ie those that can actually remember
how to
program in C  ) which
, unfortunately, is not me any longer.

Hope that helps.
