[rt-users] installation issue w/ RT 2: mod_perl + apache won't start

[justin m. clayton]

While attempting to install RT 2.0.11, I find that I cannot start apache
after adding in the virtualhost block to my httpd.conf. The error is this:

<BEGIN PUKE>
perl_tie_hash: Can't locate object method "TIEHASH" via package
"Apache::Table" (perhaps you forgot to load "Apache::Table"?) at

</PUKE>

I know that Apache::Table is installed.

Someone told me to add this line to my mason handler:

use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler(args_method=>'mod_perl');

But that didn't fix anything.

Someone else told me to create a mod_perl_startup.pl to be called by
apache and add the location of Apache.pm explicitly:

use lib qw(/usr/local/pkgs/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux);
1;

But that didn't work either.

If I run

perl -e 'use Apache::Table;'

it exits cleanly, so I know perl can find the module.

Any suggestions?
