in reply to Experimenting Ajax - problem installing Apache2::Ajax

The problem you encountered with running the tests is that Apache::Test is expecting the path to the httpd executable, not the /etc/init.d/apache2 script used to start httpd. In the dialogue that configures Apache::Test, try giving the full path to the httpd that /etc/init.d/apache2 is pointing to, along with the full path to the apxs script corresponding to this httpd version.

    Excuse me for my ignorance but I don't know to which Apache::Test configuration dialogue you are referring. Moreover
    ls -l /etc/init.d/apache2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4705 2006-07-26 19:03 /etc/init.d/apache2
    doesn't seems to point to any httpd it isn't a link
    which apache2 /usr/sbin/apache2
    while apache is in /etc/apache2 in which httpd.conf is no more used since Ubuntu prefers apache2.conf

    how to find where are my apxs?
    how to remove a cpan module to completely restart the installation process?
    At the moment cpan doesn't ask me any option... :((

      The configuration dialogue I was referring to was the part when it asked

      Please provide a full path to 'httpd' executable: [] /etc/init.d/apache2
      Depending on your PATH environment variable, this might be the result of running which apache2. To check, examine the /etc/init.d/apache2 script and look for a line that points to the httpd binary; on my system, it looks like
      # the path to your httpd binary, including options if necessary HTTPD='/usr/local/httpd/bin/httpd' #
      which indicates the full path to the binary is /usr/local/httpd/bin/httpd. Similarly, the apxs script (which might be called apxs2) may be the result of running which apxs, or it might be under the same directory as httpd.

      If you have multiple apache installations, you have to make sure that the httpd that you specify is the mod_perl-enabled one.

        /etc/init.d/apache2 basically just calls apache2ctl which is in /usr/sbin/apache2ctl which contains
        # the path to your httpd binary, including options if necessary HTTPD='/usr/sbin/apache2' #
        so I've found https
        which apxs -> no results
        which apxs2 -> no results
        Moreover trying to install Apache2::Ajax from source or from cpan doesn't ask me any more to introduce the full path to httpd executable. Maybe the wrong path has been saved somewhere but how to find it?

        Summing up:
        1) now I know which is the path to httpd but not where are my apxs|apxs2.
        2) The dialogue configuration doesn't appear any more.

        Here is the output of my Apache2::Ajax installation

        I get the following:
        Invalid command 'PJX_fn' perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

        Any clues?

        In any case thank you Randy for everything
