[ome-users] Image J Login Problem

[Curtis Rueden]

Hi Dennis,

I believe Apache/Constants.pm is part of mod_perl. If your mod_perl is
not configured properly, that could explain the problems you're seeing
the OME Java, though I would be surprised if the web interface worked
correctly either in that case.

What version of Apache are you running? What version of mod_perl? We
recommend you use either Apache 2/mod_perl 2 or Apache 1/mod_perl
1.2x. And especially stay away from mod_perl 1.99 if possible.
