The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Redhat Linux Enterprise 3.0 Mod-Perl Installation Error: Unable to determine server version

Asked by HatGuy in Perl Programming Language

Tags: , , , ,

Hi there,

When installing mod_perl 2.0.2 on a Red Linux Enterprise Server 3 workstation the following error occurs during the below installation steps:

Step 1: perl Makefile.PL
Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the
same directory as the 'httpd' executable.

If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against
the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a
very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before
proceeding.

Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable
(press Enter if you don't have it installed): Enter is pressed here

Please provide the location of the Apache directory:  /usr/sbin                 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 1388.
[  error] Unable to determine server version, aborting.
[  error] Please specify MP_APXS or MP_AP_PREFIX.

In addition, prior to the above error the following occurred:
Please provide the location of the Apache directory:  /usr/sbin
[  error] Unable to open /usr/sbin/ap_release.h: No such file or directory
[  error] Unable to determine server version, aborting.
[  error] Please specify MP_APXS or MP_AP_PREFIX.

Where do I acquire the ap_release.h header file that mod-perl is looking for. It is currently nowhere on my Linux box. Do I need to install another apache package or bundle. Currently I have Apache 2.0.46 installed on running on the Linux box.

Any help with this ASAP would be great.
Thanks,
Darrick
