     Whenever I use mod_perl since my 2.0.15 to 3.2.2 upgrade (which involved
a 3.0.x upgrade in the middle), I get errors like this in my
/var/log/apache_error_log file and find that apache isn't running.

     I worked around this my switching to FastCGI for over a year.  RT was
very slow (15 seconds between pages and I only have about 6500 tickets)
whether I used mod_perl or FastCGI.

     I recently tried mod_perl again (I upgraded to RT 3.4.4, as well as
upgrading FreeBSD, MySQL, Perl, etc. so I figured it was worth another
try) and have experienced the error listed above.

     Can anyone shed some light on this?  At least point me in the right
direction?

                                                       Thanks in advance,
                                                       Jaime
