[ome-users] ApacheConfigTask.pm from CVS

Not knowing any better I got by the first problem with:

$ diff -c  src/perl2/OME/Install/ApacheConfigTask.pm~ src/perl2/OME/Install/ApacheConfigTask.pm

                $httpdConf = File::Spec->catfile ($httpdRoot,$httpdConf);
                $httpdConf = File::Spec->canonpath( $httpdConf );

However, I am faced with new(old) problem that has stopped
my use of OME for several months now (I am trying to get it to work again).
I am 
platform: debian sarge

During installation I get 
=======================================================
Great, you're in.

Checking OMEIS repository [FAILURE].

Errors executing task: OMEIS could not be reached.
Incorrect response from OMEIS at http://biodev.ece.ucsb.edu/cgi-bin/omeis:
500 Can't connect to biodev.ece.ucsb.edu:80 (connect: timeout)

See /var/tmp/OME/install/ApacheConfigTask.log for more details. at /home/kgk/work/others/ome/OME-cvs/src/perl2/OME/Install/CoreDatabaseTablesTask.pm line 876

 at install.pl line 80
        main::run_tasks() called at install.pl line 244
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
====================================================================

Attached is the ApacheConfigTask.log as suggested by the error message,
but this log actually reports success.  However the apache logs have:

from /var/log/apache2/access.log

127.0.0.1 - - [31/Aug/2005:18:00:22 -0700] "GET /perl2/mod_perl_test.pl HTTP/1.1" 200 917 "-" "libwww-perl/5.803"
127.0.0.1 - - [31/Aug/2005:18:00:22 -0700] "GET /cgi-bin/omeis HTTP/1.1" 500 46 "-" "libwww-perl/5.803"

from /var/log/apache2/error.log

[Wed Aug 31 18:00:22 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Error calling OMEIS: Method parameter missing

Any suggestions?
