[rt-users] Installing prerequisite perl modules

[Val Luck]

This one caught me off guard as well.

It turns out that apache doesn't like to be run as root, which is what you usually run the CPAN module as.  So, you need to kill off any orphaned httpd processes which were left by the test, and then move/copy/chmod the apache-request install directory to where it can be read/written to by a non-root user, then manaully execute the standard process (perl Makefile.pl ; make ; make test and if that works, then, make install).  

It worked for me.

Good luck,

Val

Looking through the list archives, I see that many have problems 
installing the Apache::Request module for RT. Why is this? Perhaps 
libapreq is a fragile block in RT's foundation?

At any rate, here's the context for my problem with it:

RedHat Enterprise Server ES 2.1
Perl 5.6.1
PostgreSQL 7.3.3
Apache httpd 1.3.27, mod_perl 1.27
RT 3.0.2

The only thing still missing:
# sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-postgresql --with-modperl1 | grep MISS
        Apache::Request ...MISSING

Tried downloading and installing libapreq-1.2 with and without cpan; 
"make test" always fails with same result:

...
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -X -d /root/libapreq-1.2/t -f 
/root/libapreq-1.2/t/conf/httpd.conf -DAPACHE1
using Apache/1.3.27

Help?
