Same problem as the one described in bug 1184536. When httpd service is started with mod_perl installed, /proc/[PID]/comm has different content than without it, rendering e.g. 'killall httpd' unusable. # rpm -q mod_perl package mod_perl is not installed # systemctl start httpd # for pid in `pgrep httpd`; do cat /proc/$pid/comm; done httpd httpd httpd httpd httpd httpd # systemctl stop httpd # yum install mod_perl ... # systemctl start httpd # for pid in `pgrep httpd`; do cat /proc/$pid/comm; done /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mod_perl-2.0.8-10.20140624svn1602105.el7.x86_64 httpd-2.4.6-31.el7.x86_64 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1184536 +++
We do not ship mod_perl in RHEL7, Do you have the mod_perl package from EPEL7?
You're right, it is the EPEL package.
