in thread Invalid Command 'PerlModule' perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

I installed mod_perl2 manually through a tar.gz file using wget and used commands, make make install. The usr/lib/apache2/modules does not have mod_perl.so file. Do i have to look into every file on apache2 directory for that line. But i guess i need to include it in httpd.conf file which seems to be blank.

    Just do 'make install' again, it should tell you where mod_perl.so gets stored. If not, enter this at the command line:

    find /usr -name 'mod_perl.so*' -print

    That should tell you the location of the file, if it is somewhere in /usr. If not, change /usr to / in above line, that will search your whole file system

    Normally the LoadModule line should be in the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/perl.load. There also should be a symbolic link in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ to this file. If that is the case, this file is executed automatically.

    If you don't find the line in there, try the following command:

    grep -r 'LoadMod' /etc/apache2

    This will tell you where that text is in any files below /etc/apache2.

    If that symbolic link is not in mods-enabled, add it and also add a symbolic link from perl.conf in mods-available. If you don't have the mods-* dirs, you should ask on an ubuntu list which file in /etc/apache2 is for local configurations. Often you can just add files into /etc/apache2/conf.d/ and they will be included automatically

      What would be a command to run mod_perl in apache. I used LoadModule but that seems to be already running. I'm trying to install RT.

        You might enable the server info module, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_info.html. After enabling it, looking at http://localhost/server-info will list all installed modules and any commands enabled by the module.
