Hi Brandon, mod_perl : mod_perl-2.0.1 Apache : httpd-2.0.54
Do u have Perl Installed - Version 5.8.0 minimum or greater. The actual building process is as follows : (1) APACHE (2) PERL (3) MOD_PERL Plz don't extract all the tar.gz files at a stretch. Extract one after the other. I mean, first extract httpd, build it and then extract perl, build it and finally extract modperl. So, First build Apache as follows : - Extract in /usr/local/src and descend into the directory httpd-2.0.54 --prefix is the directory where u want to install apache. It is recommeded that the directory where u want to install apache, install modperl , install perl are all under one parent directory. So, create a directory under /usr/local/src as apache2 and execute this command : - httpd-2.0.54# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/src/apache2 --with-mpm=prefork Ofcourse , make && make install later in httpd-2.0.54 Download PERL from http://cpan.org/src/ - perl - 5.8.0 or greater. Next , Extract it and create a seperate directory in /usr/local/src as "perl" and descend into the directory which u had extracted and execute : - ./Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr/local/src/perl -Dusethreads Execute make && make test && make install Before proceeding with the installation of mod_perl 2.0, it's advisable to install at least the LWP package into your newly installed Perl distribution so that you can fully test mod_perl 2.0 later. You can use CPAN.pm to accomplish that: /usr/local/src/perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install("LWP")' This takes atleast 20 min. to finish and u r prompted for a set of commands and other questions. Choose Default ( Press Enter for every question ). If prompted about the website for CPAN, Enter it as : http://cpan.org Finally, Build MOD_PERL as follows : - Extract the directory modperl-2.0.1 and descend into the directory and execute : - /usr/local/src/modperl-2.0.1# perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/apache2 Now execute : make and then copy : /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so to /etc/httpd/modules and Enter this line in httpd.conf LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so Now execute : make test and it should show u that " All tests successful " Finally execute : make install ----END---- On 10/13/05, Brandon Mayes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone.

If I remember correctly, to get this working with mod_perl 1.0 > and apache1.3, one never actually compiled the stuff in the mod_perl > directory, but rather the configure script passed parameters to the httpd > src dir, and then when compiling httpd, it would link over to the modperl > stuff.
