** Using WeBWorK **

<| Post or View Comments |>

If this is not an option, create a file called webwork_startup.pl and put the "use lib" lines in that file. Then, replace the <Perl> section in the main config file with:

PerlRequire "/path/to/webwork_startup.pl"

What operating system (and distribution, if applicable) are you using? Did you compile mod_perl yourself, or use a packaged version?

# startup script, to be used in place of <Perl> section
# in Apache config file. replace <Perl> section with:
# 
#     PerlRequire /path/to/webwork_startup.pl
# 
use lib "/opt/webwork2/lib";
use lib "/opt/pg/lib";
# 
# if webwork2 and pg are not installed in /opt, change
# the above paths to reflect the actual locations.

I will add this to the installation documentation.

To test your mod_perl installation, enable the following stanza in your httpd.conf file:

 

<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from .yourschool.edu
</Location>

Then, visit http://yourserver.yourschool.edu/server-info. You should see an entry in the list of modules for mod_perl.

If that doesn't work, then mod_perl is not properly installed.

I need to know how mod_perl is compiled to understand your problem. One way to find out is to add the following stanza to your httpd.conf file:

<Location /perl-status>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Status
 </Location>

Then send me the output of http://yourserver.yourschool.edu/perl-status?hooks

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

But still "PerlRequire" is not allowed. Thank you for your help.

Why does it make an error?
