Re^4: apache 2.4 mod_perl permission denied on standard modules

Nope, no copies of Digest/SHA.pm anywhere else

If I manually add

require "/usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Digest/SHA.pm
+";
[download]

in a BEGIN block, the error in the apache log changes to:

 Can't locate Fcntl.pm:   Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2/x
+86_64-linux-thread-multi/Digest/SHA.pm line 7.
[download]

If I also add an explicit

use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/'
[download]

It ends up with:

Can't locate integer.pm:   Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2/
+x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Digest/SHA.pm line 8
[download]

With this BEGIN block:

BEGIN {
  foreach (@INC) { use lib $_; }
}
[download]

which I think should be pretty much a noop (I also tried with reverse @inc, same result) I end up with:

Can't locate Carp.pm:   Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.2/x86
+_64-linux-thread-multi/lib.pm line 25
[download]

And of course Carp.pm is there

This really sounds as if there is at least one entry in `@INC` which is not readable for the user Apache is running as. As soon as Perl encounters such a directory, it will stop searching. So you should make sure that the relevant directories you have in `@INC` appear before the bad ones where the user does not have read permissions.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Gah I wish I'd known this: As soon as Perl encounters such a directory, it will stop searching/ Found a directory in INC that was readable but not executable; changed to 755 and we're past the issue. Still have to figure out why that directory is in INC in the first place; it's not in there when I check INC from the shell, and I don't see it anywhere in the apache config. But things are working now. Thanks to both of you!	[reply]

Hmm... you are right about that, and it certainly is not intuitive that Perl would “stop searching.” Thanks for pointing that out.	[reply]
