Need help to get mod_perl working

[Clive Anderson]

I runing Fedora Core 3 and I cannot get mod_perl to
work.

rpm -q mod_perl returns 
mod_perl-1.99_16-3

rpm -q httpd returns
htthttpd-2.0.52-3.1

So both Apache and mod_perl are installed. The
httpd.conf file includes the conf file for mod_perl so
the LoadModule per_module modules/mod_perl.so setup is
O.K.

when I check if mod_perl is running with 
lynx -head -dump http://localhost I get:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 04:17:18 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora)

ETag: "3a9733-d2e-bf7d8640"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 3374
Connection: close

Which does not show mod_perl running.

What do I need to do get this to work?

By default, Apache is configured only to send the operating system
information, and not information about what modules are loaded, etc. So,
you are in fact running mod_perl, but it just does not show that.

You'll need to change the ServerTokens line in your configuration file
(/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf by default). Comment it out by prepending it
with a '#' character, or change it to read:

ServerTokens Full

You'll need to restart Apache too, which can be done with a simple
`service httpd restart` as root. Then it should show you the information
about loaded modules in the server signature.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! That does help in letting me know that
mod_perl is running.

Just need to be able to use it now.  I tried
webcalendar before and it failed that is why I was
convinced that mod_perl was not running.

Is there any cause, except desire absence to update, to keep the old
version? Why You would not update it?
