Testing this in the airport before leaving for the conference.

I am getting this when starting Apache on Xenial:

Invalid command 'PerlRequire', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.

Looks like mod_perl failed. I'll have to check it out later.

I also had to fix the ubuntu-xenial-developer install target. That will show up in a forthcoming branch. I'll probably push that when I figure out the above.

Oops, I see the typo in my branch. I tacked on a minor correction to the collab but it can probably get squashed, etc. later on.

Checking out the rest of the install next. Using the xenial server daily build from 2016-04-17.

I can confirm Jason's finding for perl module not being loaded on Apache with latest Xenial build. It didn't do this to me before during beta1 testing for Xenial, so it must be a more recent change.

Doing "a2enmod perl" as the root or sudo user allowed me to proceed with apache startup as normal. I'm wondering if maybe we should add it to the end of the opensrf Makefile.install as another forced apache module start, for just in case. We do this already in opensrf with auto disabling mpm_event and turning on mpm_prefork.

Refer to bug 1551090 for OpenSRF changes for 16.04.

Rebased to recent master and here: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/collab/bshum/ubuntu-1604-final

Will start a new bug later for dropping 12.04 support once this is merged.
