ApacheModPerl2
In mod_perl version 1.999022 (2.0.0-RC5), there was a big renaming of the namespace of the mod_perl2 API. This was not backward compatible, and many modules, such as libapreq2, CGI, and HTML::Mason had to be updated to support the new API. If you upgrade to mod_perl-2.0.0 and are using any of the modules below, you will also have to upgrade the modules to the versions indicated.
CGI 3.08 libapreq2 2.05 HTML::Mason 1.30
Support for mod_perl-2.0.0 has been released as Mason-1.29_02 (or newer).
If you get errors about the Apache2::Request object, you have two choices: 1) install libapreq2, or 2) change MasonArgsMethod to "CGI". Apache2::Request is part of the libapreq2 package. It is still in the development stage. To find it on CPAN, you can search for "libapreq2" or "Apache2::Request".
Mason 1.27 (released 10/28/2004), contains support for Apache/mod_perl-1.99.
See OldApacheModPerl2 for information on using Apache2 with earlier versions of Mason.
Common Problems:
Errors installing on SuSE 9.x and later
Errors involving Apache2::Request
- As of Mason-1.30, the default args_method is 'CGI' when running under mod_perl2, since Apache2::Request is still in development stage. If you have sucessfully installed Apache2::Request, just add "MasonArgsMethod 'mod_perl'" to your setup to use it.
- Can't locate object method "new" via package "Apache2::Request" at HTML/Mason/ApacheHandler.pm line 904.
1. The easiest solution to any problem with Apache2::Request is
MasonArgsMethod CGI
Apache2::Request is the module used by the "mod_perl" option for MasonArgsMethod.
2. Install libapreq2.
If you still want to use "MasonArgsMethod mod_perl", be advised that it is still in development. However, you can search for "libapreq2" or the "Apache2::Request" module on CPAN....
3. Do not install libapreq2 with "configure".
As noted in libapreq2's INSTALL file, there are two ways to configure libapreq2. If you use the "configure" command, it will not install the perl modules. Use this command instead:
perl Makefile.PL --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs
4. Just in case you missed the message as it flew by in the "make install" output, remember to add this line you your httpd.conf file:
LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so
Actually the symptom of forgetting that is an error about "undefined symbol: apreq_handle_apache2".
Errors involving Apache::Status
- Apache::Const object version 1.99 does not match bootstrap parameter 2.00 ... included from Apache/Status.pm line ...
1. Mason-1.29_02 has a bug where it does not use Apache2::Status under mod_perl2. This can affect you if you have an old version of mod_perl installed (1.x or 1.99). You can either delete Apache::Status from your perl modules directory, or install the latest CVS version of Mason.
Errors involving Apache::Cookie
Firstly use Apache2::Cookie, full of buttery goodness and useful extras.
- Can't call method "err_headers_out" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/Apache2/Cookie.pm line 83.
You now have to add $r (which really should be an Apache2::Request object if you're using Apache2::Cookie) to the bake command, so $cookie->bake($r) not just $cookie->bake();
