Subject: SVN::Web & Apache2 problems
Hi, I am having trouble running SVN::Web v0.48 under Apache 2 and mod_perl2 on Fedora Core 4 (x86_64). My Perl version is v5.8.6 for "x86_64-linux-thread-multi". My FC4 version is "2.6.16-1.2111_FC4 #1 Sat May 20 20:00:28 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" 1) I reinstalled all the relevant dependencies for SVN::Web using yum: # yum install httpd subversion swig subversion-perl httpd-devel mod_perl libapreq2 perl-libapreq2 Here is part of the console output: ========================================================================== === Package Arch Version Repository Siz e ========================================================================== === Installing: httpd x86_64 2.0.54-10.3 updates 944 k httpd-devel x86_64 2.0.54-10.3 updates 148 k libapreq2 x86_64 2.07-1.fc4 extras 50 k mod_perl x86_64 2.0.1-1.fc4 updates 4.0 M perl-libapreq2 x86_64 2.07-1.fc4 extras 132 k subversion x86_64 1.2.3-2.1 updates 2.1 M subversion-perl x86_64 1.2.3-2.1 updates 618 k swig x86_64 1.3.24-2 core 2.4 M httpd-devel contains the APXS binary, and perl-libapreq2 contains the Apache2::Request Perl module. 2) Next I re-installed SVN::Web using CPAN: Show quoted text

answering "no" to all the questions. If I answer yes to the "Will you be using mod_perl?" question, the installer attempts to install Apache::Request (I already have Apache2::Request installed).

Sounds about right. mod_perl2 support is something that's there, but that I don't have a comprehensive test suite for yet, so it's a bit hit and miss whether I accidentally break something. That's something I need to fix. Show quoted text

I imagine that's this line in SVN/Web.pm. my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r); You can change that to my $apr = Apache2::Request->new($r); and re-run "make install" to install the new copy of Web.pm. Looking at the code you may need to make changes to line 291, 301, 302, and 363, which all reference Apache::* objects when, in the mod_perl2 case they should probably reference Apache2::* objects. I'd be grateful if you'd let me know if that works for you. I'd be even more grateful if you could create a t/mod_perl2.t that runs the tests and they all pass. To do that, take a look at conf/httpd.tt. It's an httpd.conf file with some TT directives. Could you see if there's anything that will need changing there for mod_perl2, and if so, let me know what it is. You could also copy t/mod_perl.t to t/mod_perl2.t. Remove the plan => skip_all ... entry (to force it to run all the time), and hardcode some of the paths if necessary. If you get something that then works when you run prove -vb t/mod_perl2.t and passes all the tests, could you send it to me? Thanks, N

0.49, which I'm just about to release, enhances the test suite to support mod_perl 2. I've used this to fix all the issues that I can find in the code that relate to mod_perl 2, and you should now find that it works flawlessly. If it doesn't then it's a bug, and I'd be grateful for any future bug reports. Thanks,
