[rt-devel] webmux error on Httpd start

[Perry, Jeff]

I have just installed RT on a new redhat server.  This is to be a
replacement of our older existing webRT installation.

I have run into this error (this seems to be the same problem as seen
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-devel/2002-April/002200.html )

=============================
== Error on Httpd start
=============================
[root at kohi conf]# service httpd start

======================================
90.              my $type = shift;
91.              $RT::Mason::r->content_type($type);
92.          }
93.   
94.            sub CGIObject {
95.             $m->cgi_object();
96.         }


=======================
== Additional Information
=======================
I am set to "args_method => 'CGI'" in webmux.pl
i am not sure if this is related to
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-devel/2002-February/002079.html
"rt-devel] Using RT with HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler( args_method =>
'mod_perl' )"
i.e. mod_perl vs CGI with APACHE::Request

Config wise, i'm sure the mysql db/apache/perl/config.pm are all setup
correctly.  This is the third installation of WebRt here and this seems to
be the only machine doing this.

The apache installation (config and virtual server wise) are the same
throughout all our installations so I doubt it's that either.

The difference is that this is Redhat 7.3 and the others are 7.2.. but I
can't imagine that would have much effect.

Thanks for any insite/advice you may have
