Re: [PLUG] RH9 (mod_perl) woes

[Martin DiViaio <scatterbrained@usermail.com>]

Have you installed all of the RH9 updates? (There are close to 30 updates
available for RH9.) One of these updates is for Apache. It MIGHT correct
your problem.

Try rolling back to the mod_perl from RH8 and see if that corrects your
problem.

Another solution may be to compile Apache and mod_perl from scratch but 
that will take you away from your "vanilla" install.
