Apache2.4 on ubuntu won't start with NYTProf enabled.

I don't understand why no one else seems to be having this problem. I hope it's something simple.

If I put PerlModule Devel::NYTProf::Apache in my apache config, apache won't start.

In my logs I get NYTPROF env var not set, so defaulting to NYTPROF='file=/tmp/nytprof.24935.out' at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20/Devel/NYTProf/Apache.pm line 22

because I havn't specified the NYTPROF env var... which is expected.

systemd gives:

No other errors.

Any ideas?

Hi, I am experiencing a similar issue with a Catalyst web app, did you ever figure out a solution?

Thanks in advance!

@connortechnology I'm using Centos7 and Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) I faced the same problem. However, I succeeded to start apache by appending following parameter in /etc/sysconfig/httpd

OPTIONS=-X -D NYTPROF
