[Pagekit-users] Apache2 Error: PerlOptions +GlobalRequest

[Collin S. <col...@co...>]

I got everything up and running, for a while at least. 

Then for some reason, just today the server started giving me error 
messages of the form

[Wed Jul 19 21:49:52 2006] Global $r object is not available. 
Set:\n\tPerlOptions +GlobalRequest\nin httpd.conf at \
                           
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Apache2/ErrorReport.pm line 30.\n

I did not make any changes or updates to Apache, mod_perl, or my PageKit 
configuration, so I am at a loss.  Furthermore, according to

  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_GlobalRequest_

the GlobalRequest option is supposed to be set by default by "SetHandler 
perl-script"  so I shouldn't have to use the "PerlOptions 
+GlobalRequest" directive. 

I tried to use it anyway, and suddenly I was getting "Symbolic link not 
allowed" error messages.  (I have a symlink from 
/app/apache2/site/www.foo.com to /home/someuser/site/www.foo.com that it 
is apparently barfing on.)  I have never had a problem with the symlinks 
in the past, and haven't updated Apache or mod_perl since it was working 
last, so I'm a bit mystified.

Has anyone encountered anything like this?  Any thoughts would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

-Collin
