Thanks everybody for helping me install The Apache Webserver 1.3.9 with mod_Perl 1.21 CGI support for windows 98. The binary I used was downloaded from: ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/ filename: perl-win32-bin-0.5.exe ( about 10 meg ) The problem was that the ApacheModulePerl.dll did not load. The solution is: 1) remove c:\apache, c:\perl, c:\openssl and unzip/install the distrobution again, this way you get clean install again 2) copy c:\perl\PerlCRT.lib to c:\perl\5.00503\lib copy c:\perl\PerlCRT.dll to c:\windows\system32 3) set PATH to something like PATH=%PATH%;"C:\ProgramFiles\Mts";"C:\ProgramFiles\DevStudio\VC\bin"; "C:\PERL\5.00503\BIN\MSWin32-x86";"C:\PERL\5.00503\BIN";c:\apache;C:\openssl\bin; 4) restart windows 5) now from the prompt you should get some answer to say 'perl -V' or something similar 6) included configs are OK, you select the one with modperl and change stuff the way you need it (for testing the server the default should be ok, I usually change just DocRoot and add few virtual servers) ( make sure all the /apache are replaced with c:/apache ) ( make sure all the @@ServerRoot@@ are replaced with c:/apache ) 7) create a empty dir c:\apache\logs 8) start it with C:\Apache\Apache.exe (maybe you'll need something like apache -d c:\apache) 9) you're done 10) enjoy ! :) Thanks to Robert ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for supplying this fantastic solution ! ( I improved it a little bit :) ) Greetings Harald --------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
