Re^2: mod_perl installation - missing apache src

OK, this isn't making any sense. We went ahead, got the "-devel" install. Installed it, v2.2.3. Then went to CPAN shell, reran install for mod_perl, and it gloriously bombed and we got this wonderful error:

Please tell me where I can find your apache src
[../apache_x.x/src] /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/httpd-2.2.3
Configure mod_perl with /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/httpd-2.2.3 ? [y] y
************* WARNING *************

Apache Version 1.3.0 required, aborting...

************* WARNING *************
[download]

OK, what gives? Why is it saying an older version is required??? Is there a Perl module I may be missing...?

I suppose you've downloaded `mod_perl-1.31`, which is for the older Apache-1 branch. Try `mod_perl-2.0.4` instead. Update: as you're using the CPAN shell, I guess the problem is that it by default gets the most recently released version, and mod_perl-1.31 is more recent (13 May 2009) than mod_perl-2.0.4 (17 Apr 2008) — kind of unfortunate... So try: `install G/GO/GOZER/mod_perl-2.0.4.tar.gz` from the CPAN shell.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

OK, will do, but wouldn't CPAN automatically get the latest version of mod_perl? I seriously appreciate the help, and the patience. I have never, ever done any type of Sys Admin, server setup, etc. I just be a little old Java/ColdFusion code monkey. Then last week guess what I got thrust upon me...? Welcome to 'The Show' kid...

mod_perl is 1.x, mod_perl2 is 2.x http://search.cpan.org/~gozer/mod_perl-2.0.4/lib/mod_perl2.pm, search.cpan.org might confuse based on distribution name, but CPAN doesn't Read more... (3 kB)	[reply] [d/l]

The message `Please tell me where I can find your apache src [../apache_x.x/src]` [download] should appear only if you want to install Apache::Registry for mod_perl 1.* . You should not need this for mod_perl 2.*	[reply] [d/l]
