OK, added.

I checked the log file of Apache server, I got an error message:

[Mon Jan 18 18:12:01 1999] [notice] httpd: caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Mon Jan 18 21:48:28 1999] [notice] Apache/1.3.1 (Unix) configured -- resuming

install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load

I've already set enviroment variables PGLIB and LD_LIBRARY_PAHT in .login.
libpq.so.2.0 is in /usr/local/pgsql/lib directory. I don't install mod_perl with
Apache.
Should I install mod_perl?  Would you tell me how to solve this problem, thanks.

Best regards,
Kevin.
