I'm trying to simply get Apache/mod_perl working in W2K ... I've been
trying to follow the steps outlined in messages I've found from
searching through archives, but it seems I'm a bit stuck. My experience
w/ Apache has always been in Linux or *BSD, so I'm somewhat lost when it
comes to getting this going in W2k.
I have Apache 1.3.20 installed - the httpd.conf is vanilla - I can
access my server by going to http://localhost/ - so all is good there.
I downloaded ActivePerl 629 (?) and it installed fine ... c:\perl\bin is
in my path and seems to work fine. I ran PPM and had it install
mod_perl from theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca - everything seemed to run fine and
in the end it asked me where to put mod_perl.so - the path I gave was
c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/modules - I later looked here and I
could see mod_perl.
I then added the following line to my httpd.conf:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
and left everything else as it was. I now get the following when I try
to start Apache:
The Apache service is starting.
Failed to start the Apache service.
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
(countdown)...
I don't see any error messages that do me any good, config test returns
Syntax OK and the error log shows nothing.
What do I need to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
