I am getting this error message once I added some lines to a directive in my httpd.conf file. I double checked and made sure their weren't any typos
Snytax error line 468 Invlaid command PerlHandler perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. Here is what I added ti my httpd.confand now apache won't start. I am using a web interface for my email. I am using Atmail as my web interface for email login

Include etc/apache22/Includes/*.conf

Where should I insert those lines of code at in the httpd.conf file

In searching for your problem, I've found this construct a lot:

<IfDefine !APACHE2>
        PerlHandler Apache::Status
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine APACHE2>
        PerlResponseHandler Apache::Status
</IfDefine>

So maybye try PerlResponseHandler instead of PerlHandler.

3

Where should I insert the line of code at in the httpd.conf

4

I'd suggest replacing

PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry

with

PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
5

I am still getting the same error as before

6

If it's still the same error, then you must still have PerlHandler in there somewhere, otherwise the error would be slightly different.

7

I will look in the code to see where it is

8

I am getting the same error only it says PerlResponseHandler

9

Is apache loading the mod_perl module?

10

I am not that experience with apache. What could I do to check and see if apache has loaded mod_perl module?

11

here is some documentation relating to this. Be sure to use the correct version of the documentation, mod_perl has versions 1 and 2 which differ.
