Hi folks, This is my first post on this list.
I am trying to install mod_perl on Windows 7, and am running into some problems. Here's what I did. First, I ran the following commands to get the mod_perl package and install it: ---------------- ppm rep add http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/12xx ppm install mod_perl ---------------- Then I added the following lines at the start of my httpd.conf file: ---------------- LoadFile "C:/Perl/bin/perl512.dll" LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so ---------------- But since then, Apache won't restart, unless I comment out those two lines. To diagnose the problem, I ran the command: ---------------- httpd.exe -t -c httpd.conf ---------------- And it gives me the following error message: ---------------- httpd: Syntax error on line 29 of C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.17/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Perl/bin/perl512.dll into server: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. ---------------- The file C:/Perl/bin/perl512.dll does exist. I am wondering if the problem is not due to a difference between 32 and 64 bits applications. I ran a small perl script which looks at the DOS headers of executables, to find the architecture that the executable was compiled for, and here's what it tells me: httpd.exe: AMD64 perl512.dll: i386 mod_perl.so: i386 I would think that a 64 Apache is able to load a 32 bit DLL, no? Does anyone have some ideas or suggestions? Thx.
