Ah HAH!!!!
That makes perfect sense. For unrelated reasons (in order to run BugZilla)
I had to upgrade to mod_perl v2 a couple of weeks ago. And now I remember
it complaining about ssl_perl (I think I even posted something to that
effect on this list).
So I just disabled ssl_perl. I was thinking that nobody runs any SSL perl
CGI on that server, it's all PHP, so I didn't need it right then ("I'll fix
it later ...").
But I completely spaced on BQ or httpd itself using it for config purposes.
So now I just have to work out how to make it work with the new mod_perl.
Thank you!!
