jfmiller's Journal: Installing a Nightmare

Ok, The battle has starter:

I got an old $100 533Mhz Duron slapped a second harddrive in in and put a stage 1 Gentoo install on. Ive gottent all the basics working. mysql is up and works as it should. But the apache mod perl thing is driving me up the wall.

Slashcode is very picky about how mod_perl gets installed. The istructions give step by step style instructions about how to have mod_perl install apache for you, but Somewhere my install is bauched and without good instructions I can't troubleshoot.

That being the case I've set things aside and I'm whining about it here. As Far as I can tell no one reads these thing so I'm safe.

Anyway, it's time for the master (CmdrTaco) is going to answer questions.
