Two things, First check out http://www.apachetoolbox.com/ About as out-of-the-box as you can get. Last time I tried it seemed to 'do the right thing' for me.
For mod_perl specifics you might also check out chapter 1 of the "mod_perl Developer's Cookbook". I think it's a pretty good stab at showing a novice how to compile and install apache+mod_perl (though not mod_ssl... alas) The complete chapter is online at http://www.modperlcookbook.org/ Regards, Paul On Thu, Feb 07, 2002 at 12:04:19AM +0000, Ged Haywood wrote: > Hi there, > > On Thu, 7 Feb 2002, Rod Butcher wrote: > > > > professionals are being driven mad, despite reading the Guide (which despite > > being complete is still mysterious, it comes across as having a mission > > statement to contain everything rather than to be useful, sorry). > > Patches, chapters, help are always welcome I'm sure. > > > My .05 is that all development be stopped until the instal process > > is up to the same standard as M$.
