[ome-users] Getting an error "Apache/mod_perl is not properly configured" while installing OME Server.

Fri Oct 17 20:11:26 BST 2008

Hi Sriram,

According to the log, it's not that you don't have mod_perl installed, but
rather that the /perl2 alias is not functioning -- hence the 404 Not Found.
For whatever reason, it looks like the OME installer could not modify your
Apache configuration successfully. It also looks like you installed your own
version of Apache, so the config files are not where they would be in a
default installation.

It looks like the OME installer has been updated since last time I used it,
so I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you need to configure your Apache
installation to include references to the appropriate
/OME/conf/httpd2.*.conf files. Once you do that, and restart the web server,
it should be able to find /perl2 successfully (you can test in your web
browser). Then you can rerun the installer and it should pass the mod_perl
test, assuming you actually have mod_perl installed.

-Curtis
