Thanks a lot to Stas and Randy, I have got the MOD_PERL-1.99 and Apache 2.0.35 to get started up and running to serve the first CGIs under MOD_PERL in Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a environment. I am sure it should be the same for Windows 2000 too.
Points: 1) I am having problems in my Windows 2000 Workstation, because I am running both Apache 1.3.23/Mod_Perl-1.26 as well as Apache 2.0.35/Mod_Perl-1.99. Therefore, there are certainly name-clashes as far as Mod_Perl-1.99 is concerned (vide Randy's email rejoinder). Therefore, I had installed Apache 2.0.35 with Mod_Perl-1.99 under a Windows NT 4.0 with SP 6a and ActivePerl 628, without any previous Apache/Mod_Perl installed to it. 2) Please note that when I did not have two different Apache and Mod_Perl versions on the Server, the : PerlModule Apache2 configuration item on httpd.conf did work as per the advisories. Previously this did not work for me, because I had two versions of Apache and mod_perl running in it. 3) Even after running a lone Apache 2.0.35/Mod_Perl-1.99 on Windows NT 4.0/SP 6a, I was having problems with RegistryCooker.pm (vide, my own emails today on the topic). 4) Stas had posited to a new bug-fix of Doug. I applied it to the RegistryCooker.pm file. 5) Now the woes with respect to RegistryCooker.pm cleared. But CGIs would just not serve. Reason was because, I had given in the httpd.conf file the configuration as thus: PerlHandler Apache2::ModPerl::Registry It complained that it could not find that one!! 6) Stas was kind enough to guide me on this. According to his valuable advice, I changed the PerlHandler statement in httpd.conf as thus: PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry Please note, that at this point, I could also make the startup.pl script (a simple startup script that I wrote to preload CGI and other modules) run using: PerlRequire "e:/admin/rarul/apache2/startup.pl" statement. Currently, I am able to make Apache 2.0.35 work with MOD_PERL-1.99-dev on Windows NT 4.0/SP 6a, without any problem. To get to this point itself, it took a lot of collective effort and thanks to one and all in this list. Hopefully this information will be helpful to the Windows Users.
