Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 8934
problem with libperl.so after upgrading to secureweb-3.1-2
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:54 EDT
After performing an upgrade to secureweb-3.1-2, a warning is issued each time the secure server starts as folows: [warn] Loaded DSO modules/libperl.so uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI) This warning did not appear when starting the secureserver as shipped with RH6.1. I couldn't not find a matching upgrade of mod_perl on the errata site. Please advise - should I discontinue use of mod_perl until Red Hat releases a new mod_perl RPM? Thanks!
This also affects the following modules: libphp3.so libperl.so mod_jserv.so libdav.so mod_roaming.so In otherwords, it totally breaks any use of ssl in scripted site (which is the whole point of having ssl.)
you may safely ignore it. It is a warning for those modules which may use SSL functionality, but aren't compiled against a SSL-enabled web server. The web server is SSL-enabled, and the modules don't use any SSL functionality, so there is no problem and the warning (it is not an error) can be safely ignored. If you do experience any actual crashes, open a new bug.
