Hi all,

Trying to get gossamer forum to work with mod_perl, I'm not sure why my httpd just dies like this.

I've modified the httpd.conf file to contain the <Location> directive, also created a startup.pl and invoked it in my httpd.conf (outside of the <location directive>, and after my LoadModule directives)

Then I stopped the webserver, restarted it back up, it will give me the following print out


Preloading Gossamer Forum modules into mod_perl:
. . . . . . . . . . .
All modules loaded ok!
Compiling all functions ... All modules compiled and loaded ok!
../bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

I then commented out my <location> directive, and left with only the PerlRequire line, tries to restart the webserver, and it still gave me this message.

which led me to believe
1. it is not my <location> directive
2. PerlRequire startup.pl probably worked fine, just didn't work well with my webserver.

I've ran gossamer forum fine on my other RedHat 8.0 machine (apache 1.3.27) which has mod_perl installed statically with apache, and it works fine.

This machine however, is on RedHat 7.3, Apache 1.3.23, and has mod_perl installed as a DSO.

Just wondering if people had experience with installing Gossamer running on mod_perl that is installed as DSO, or anyone has ever seen it happening like this.

Thanks in advance!
