WebGUI FAQ : Troubleshooting :
FreeBSD, mod_perl2, apache2, GATEWAY_INTERFACE not Perl!, Can't locate ModPerl/Registry.pm (New: Apache::Request on mod_perl2 RC5)
mod_perl2 (1.99r16) The port didn't add the LoadModule.I had to add Perl 5.8.5 from port but you have to
use.perl port to start it (so you can use/install the mod_perl2 port).The
mod_perl2 port is installed, but I kept getting Can't locate ModPerl/Registry.pm in @INCI check my
httpd.conf, and it's verbatim with WebGUI install, but changed for my system. I addedLoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.soPerlModule Apache2
I added the Options +ExecCGI to the Files directive (necessary in *my* configs to make the .pl work).Then I started on
sbin/preload.perl ... catching up from something I read... somewhere, I addeduse Apache2;
before
use ModPerl::Registrywhich helped
preload.perl find ModPerl.I had to re-install all the perl modules as well. Hint: if you want to install via ports, simply
portinstall or portupgrade p5-Port-Name... ferinstance portinstall p5-SOAP-Lite
I also found this interesting site: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/cvs-log/2004-April/003773.html which explained that GATEWAY_INTERFACE not Perl! at /data/WebGUI/sbin/preload.perl is deprecated, and so changing the line based upon:
# make sure we are in a sane environment.
#$ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} =~ /
# check $ENV{MOD_PERL}, $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} is deprecated for mod_perl2
$ENV{MOD_PERL} =~ /mod_perl/ or die "MOD_PERL not used!";
And wow! I've now got an apache2/modperl2 on FreeBSD working machine (oh, yeah, and WebGUI's
sbin/preload.perl seems to not crash apache now :)Well, I do hope this helps someone. It took me almost a day of work to get it, but I think I tackled most of the problems. It's late for me, and I want to get to sleep.

Ok I figured it out. The problem centers around the Apache
request object. As of mod_perl v2.0.0RC5, the request
object package was renamed from Apache to
Apache2::RequestUtil. I changed all references from `grep
-Er "Apache->request" /usr/local/www/resources/WebGUI` to
Apache2::RequestUtil. I did the same for the server object
(Apache2::ServerUtil). Goto:
http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current/Changes
...for more information. These changes will break WG for
all versions of mod_perl less than v2.0.0RC5, but with some
quick if statements that could be fixed. It would be nice
to include these fixed into the future v6.5.7. Thanks.
