I seem to have everything working again, back with apache 1.3 and mod
perl 1.x. all my cpan modules went in perfect no hiccups. physical
locations of everything is:

/www (Document Root)
/www/tvdinner
/www/mp3
/usr/local/apache (apache installed)

Config:
[root@205hotspot tools]# ./configtest.pl
TVDinner Configuration Test

conf->{mp3_database} = mp3
conf->{interfaceroot} = /tvdinner
conf->{defaultorder} = artist,album,track,title
conf->{lite} = HASH(0x810fbf8)
conf->{mp3_host} = localhost
conf->{mp3_user} = tvdinner
conf->{session_pass} = auth
conf->{webroot} =
conf->{allowstream} = 1
conf->{allowdownload} = 1
conf->{session_host} = localhost
conf->{mp3hardpath} = /www/mp3
conf->{session_user} = auth
conf->{iconized} = 0
conf->{mp3webroot} = /mp3
conf->{mp3_pass} = tvdinner
conf->{defaultdispcol} = artist,album,track,title,duration,comment
conf->{tvdinnerver} = 0.5
conf->{session_database} = auth
conf->{webhardpath} = /www
[root@205hotspot tools]#

What I think is happening is perl related. Back when I was
attempting Apache 2, I had to upgrade, well, install the latest
version of perl, 5.8. So now I have two versions of perl installed,
5.6 and 5.8. From what I have read this isnt a problem. If I do a
perl -v 5.8 comes back. However when I compile TVDinner's config and
install it, they get pushed to the 5.6 side of things, and i have to
copy the *.pm's to the proper location in 5.8.

Symptoms are as follows: Everything seems to navigate without
incident. When I try to play something, I get a page cannot be
displayed error message. The apache will freeze until i restart it.
Thats all the info I can think to give, feel free to ask for more.

Thanks for the help,
Josh
