Hi.
Can someone help clearing my confusion (again) as to what kind of Apache / mod_perl / Perl
combination works under Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) ?
I thank Steve Hay many times for providing numerous versions of mod_perl for numerous
versions of platforms and numerous versions of Active and Strawberry Perl.
And I finally managed to have the following combination working under Windows server 2008
64-bit R2 :
- Apache 2.2 from :
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/binaries/httpd-2.2.29-win64.zip
- ActivePerl 5.18.4.1804 from :
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads/thank-you?dl=http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.18.4.1804/ActivePerl-5.18.4.1804-MSWin32-x64-298913.msi
- mod_perl 2.0.8 from :
http://people.apache.org/~stevehay/mod_perl-2.0.8-activeperl-5.18.4.1803-x64.zip
but before that, I spent most of a day fighting with various versions of all the above and
obscure Windows error messages ranging from "the application is not a Win32 application"
to "the Service started but terminated unexpectedly" to .. nothing.
One problem was (I suppose, but finally I am totally unsure of) that I initially tried to
use a Strawberry Perl (which seems to tell me that it is compiled with gcc), but could
never find an Apache 2.2 binary similarly compiled with gcc.
Anyway, I am quite confused now again as to what must match what.
Grateful for any insight.
André
