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

Fri Oct 17 23:29:15 BST 2008

Hi Sriram,

Most likely, you just need to use the "Include" directive in your main
Apache config file.

The installer probably inserted the proper lines into your
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf file, but for some reason they aren't
being honored there. I think that file is a legacy file for Apache1 stuff --
usually for Apache2 there is nothing much in there.

As for where your actual main Apache config file is, look for a
sites-available directory somewhere under /usr/local/apache2, I think.

I am not an expert on Apache so you might want to CC the list with any
follow-up questions.
