HELP with mod_perl version

Hi,

I have tried to upgrade my apache from 1.3.12 to 1.3.26 and openssl from
0.9.5a to 0.9.6g.
But when I upgraded mod_perl from 1.24 to 1.26 (it seems that I have to),
it could be compiled with no error but httpd couldn't be started with the
following error:

Apache.pm version 1.26 required!
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/Apache.pm is version 1.27
Perhaps you forgot to 'make install' or need to uninstall an old version?
Found: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/Apache.pm

From the error, it looks like I need to fall back to order version for
mod_perl (?),
So I did try to uninstall the current Perl and mod_perl and reinstall again.
I even tried the different version of mod_perl (1.25, 1.27) but with the
same error.

Could anyone give me an advice?

Alan

Looks like you have either messed up several installations of mod_perl
or have forgotten to install the latest binary, which explains why it
requires 1.26. Check the timestamp on the httpd binary or the .so module
if you are using DSO. And go again through the install steps as
explained at http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html

If you want to make a complete cleanup of all older Apache modules prior
to installing the new ones, you could use find(1) to assist you to find
the older Apache:: modules. Something like the following:

find /usr/lib/perl5 -name 'Apache*'

and then deleting them if you are sure that this is what you want:

find /usr/lib/perl5 -name 'Apache*' -exec rm {} \;

Though be careful that you have a backup of things before you attempt to rm.

Notice that you don't have to uninstall *Perl* but only Apache modules.
