Installing module Apache2::Reload failed

Dears,

I am trying to install the module Apache2::Reload but when I do perl
Makefile.PL it returns the quote: "You don't seem to have mod_perl 1.0
installed at Makefile.PL line 112."

Makefile.pl (line 112 ff):

-------------------- 8< --------------------
if ($mod_perl::VERSION >= 1.99) {
# so we don't pick 2.0 version if 1.0 is wanted
die "You don't seem to have mod_perl 1.0 installed";
}
-------------------- 8< --------------------

We have installed mod_perl 1.999021 and Apache2 on Solaris 9.

Any idea, how it can be done?

Best regards,

Ronny

The Apache::Reload distribution installs different modules depending if
you want mod_perl 1.x or mod_perl 2. It looks like you can force
mod_perl 2 by setting the MOD_PERL_2_BUILD environment variable before
running Makefile.PL

Dear Joost.

I've tried to set this variable and it now returns a quote: "You don't
seem to have mod_perl 2.0 installed at Makefile.PL line 120." :(

Any idea what now?

Ronny.

Sounds like you may not have a complete mod_perl 2 installation, or you
have two or more perls installed and you're trying to install
Apache::Reload using the wrong one. You may want to try to re-install
mod_perl, and check for additional perl installs.

If that still doesn't help or turn up more information, I'm out of ideas.

Thank you very much for your response. Here are the significant lines
out of Makefile.PL:

-------------------- 8< --------------------

if ($wanted == 1) {
require_mod_perl();
if ($mod_perl::VERSION >= 1.99) {
# so we don't pick 2.0 version if 1.0 is wanted
die "You don't seem to have mod_perl 1.0 installed";
}
$selected = 1;
}
elsif ($wanted == 2) {
#warn "Looking for mod_perl 2.0";
require_mod_perl();
if ($mod_perl::VERSION < 2.0) {
die "You don't seem to have mod_perl 2.0 installed";
}
$selected = 2;
}

-------------------- 8< --------------------

Our mod_perl -Version is 1.999021. This is greater than 1.99 and
smaller than 2.0 ... so both options can not work. This is very strange.

It appears (though of course ICBW, because I don't really understand any
of this :) ) that mod_perl versions 1.99* are actually early versions of
mod_perl2 (that is, they require apache 2, not apache 1). I surmise that
you have apache 2 installed: is this correct? It seems that
Apache2::Reload doesn't work with these older versions, so you will need
to install mod_perl-2.0, or rather mod_perl-2.0.3, since 2.0 itself is
no longer available. I would say that the error message is less than
helpful; something like 'To use this module with mod_perl2 you must have
at least v2.0 installed' would be much clearer, and just emitting a
straightforward dependancy on mod_perl-2.0 would be better still.

Dear Ben,

I think your idea is correct. But its very strange, at least to me,
that there ist no version working with our mod_perl 1.99... .

So I am going to check if we can change our mod_perl -version.

Hi all,

the installation of mod_perl 2.0.3 on mod_perl 1.999021, but now i
cannot run the Apache. i run it as permitted user, but it returns a
quote: "no listening socket available, shutting down unable to open
logs". i checked the processes and no process is running on this
port... so now a rollback is needed. can anyone help me with this
please?
