I've been trying to remove and reinstall perl, Apache and Mod_perl, but now I'm going around in circles. When I try to reload the Apache server I still get the error: 
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
[sudo] password for rianne: 
apache2: Syntax error on line 207 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax

So it cannot find the mod_perl.so file, which indeed is not in that directory. So I tried to reinstall mod_perl, but then I'm having issues with the Apache server. Inside the Mod_perl directory, the commands perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs2 and make are fine, but when i run make test, I run into the following errors: 
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rianne/Software/mod_perl-2.0.5/mod_p

No error log messages appear in the Apache error and access log files and the error logs in t/logs/error_log in the mod_perl directory. Any ideas ? Thanks!
