mod_perl crashes after apache upgraded

ysmartnet has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear all, apache2.0.55, openssl 0.9.8n and mod_perl worked well on the Linux 2.6.18. However mod_perl 2.2.04 crashes after apache is upgraded to 2.2.17. If I comment out the mod_perl handler in the configuration, then it can work. Can somebody give a suggestion what I can do next? Thanks

And did you also recompile / reinstall mod_perl2 after you upgraded Apache? CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James	[reply]

Hi Sure, I did compile against the new apache source code. Another point I found is that apache can be up if I only upgrade the apache/perl rpm, but it crashes after I restart apache. I guess it is due to a library residing in memory. Thanks	[reply]

Wow apache 2.0.x to 2.2.x upgrade is quite a jump ! :) May I suggest checking the apache configuration to make sure all log locations exist and are writable at start time? Crashing with "No such file or directory" on "ap_run_open_logs" suggests that something related to this might be a problem.	[reply]

Hi hsinclai, Yes, it is a huge jump. but I think "No such file or directory" from config.c only shows the apache source code is not found. Thanks for your reply ysmartnet	[reply]

> I think "No such file or directory" from config.c only shows the apache source code is not found. Actually, no, I don't believe it means the source code is not found -- it is telling you which line in config.c is generating the error "No such file or directory".. so if you consulted line 148 in the source code of config.c you would see the source code that threw that particular exception.

"No such file or directory" is print only when I jumped to the 31 stack frame. Thanks for your comments.	[reply]
