PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler # <-- FAILS HERE
[download]

The same error as original post originating from the PerlModule line.

`PerlModule` is not used for setting Apache handlers; for that you need `PerlHandler`. See the example from the Mason book.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, I know, but even when I dont use a PerlModule to load HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler in httpd.conf it still doesn't work. It fails when the handler gets called and HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler is loaded at runtime with the same error: `[Mon Aug 1 10:01:09 2005] [error] unknown field \n passed to construc +tor for class HTML::Mason::ExceptionCompilation failed in require at +(eval 5) line 3.\n [Mon Aug 1 10:01:09 2005] [error] Can't locate object method "make_ah +" via package "Apache" (perhaps you forgot to load "Apache"?) at (eva +l 31) line 6.\n` [download] -Andrew.

Try using a wrapper as suggested in the Mason manual, for example: `#!/usr/bin/perl # handler.pl package HTML::Mason; use HTML::Mason; use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler; use strict; { package HTML::Mason::Commands; use DBI (); use CGI (); } DBI->install_driver('mysql'); CGI->compile(':standard'); my $ah = HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler->new( comp_root => '/path/to/comp/root', data_dir => '/path/to/data/dir' ); sub handler { my ($r) = @_; return $ah->handle_request($r); } 1;` [download] Load it from httpd.conf: `PerlRequire /path/to/handler.pl` [download] Speaking of httpd.conf, here's part of yours: > KeepAlive On > ... > MaxClients 150 You should configure apache properly for mod_perl. Generally you want keepalive turned off and maxclients set to something your server can handle based on the size of your apache children. `-- perl -MO=Deparse -e"u j t S n a t o e h r , e p l r a h k c r e"`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
