<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This is really a mod_perl problem, I
think, but I figured I would</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">try here first.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've had RT 3.6.1 running on a development
machine for some time,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">but now I'm trying to go into production,
and having headaches,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">largely because I'm not allowed to just
upgrade everything the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">way I want ;-)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This machine had mod_perl 1.99_xx, so
I had to beg an admin</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">to upgrade to mod_perl 2.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In the meantime, I configured things
to work with FastCGI,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">and that's working fine.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The admin finally found an RPM for mod_perl
2, and installed</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">it. But when I tried to switch from
FastCGI to mod_perl, I</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">got this message in the logs:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> Can't locate object method "content_type"
via package</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> "Apache2::RequestRec"
at /var/www/rt3/bin/webmux.pl line 108.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I figured that Apache2::RequestRec wasn't
getting loaded, so</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I added a "use" statement
to webmux.pl. That resulted in this</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">error:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> The 'comp' parameter (undef) to
HTML::Mason::Request::CGI->new() was</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> an 'undef', which is not one of
the allowed types: scalar object</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> Stack:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> [/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/HTML/Mason/CGIHandler.pm:127]</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> [/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/HTML/Mason/CGIHandler.pm:63]</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> [/var/www/rt3/bin/webmux.pl:128]</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So I gave up on trying to patch things
in webmux.pl :-(</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I _think_ I've got the apache configuration
right; it works</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">on the other machine. OTOH, that was
using a new version</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">of apache. The machine that's giving
me trouble is on Apache/2.0.52.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I could just stick with FastCGI, but
I'd like to know what's</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">going wrong here.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks for any pointers ...</font>
