[mod_python] Urgent Help Needed

Hi,

I have gone through similar difficulties with mandrake 9.0 and found it
was simplest to uninstall mandrakes apache and download source for apache
2 and modpython 3 and build
both of them. It was relatively easy, the only issue was the location of
the configuration files (/usr/local/apache2/conf i think) rather than /etc
but that is just a configure option (haven't had time to fix it)

If you install httpd-devel or apache-devel (can't remember what mandrake
calls it) you might get the apxs file. To find out which package doing:

urpmf apxs

should tell you what package to install. When using mandrake the easiest
way to install packages is to use (as root):

urpmi packagename

this should solve the dependencies and prompt you for the correct cds to
insert.

Hope this helps

Joe
