RE: Re: Apache/Mod_Perl in Production Env-- NOT Recommended inWindows?
Thanks Per. But should the stoic silence for this poser of mine, be construed as there are NO takers out there who have their Web Sites in Production, running out of Apache 1.XX and Mod-Perl 1.XX on Windows NT/2000? Primarily we are a Microsoft shop, and I would like to answer this question to my bosses (if possible). Thanks, Rex Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This isn't all too different from standard mod_perl setups, but you have to watch out even more when running on Windows.

Help Needed - RegistryCooker.pm -mod_perl-2 - Apache 2.0.35 -(ActivePerl 631)
I am not sure, if I should post it here: OS: Windows 2000; Perl:ActivePerl 631; Apache:2.0.35; Mod_Perl:1.99_01 downloaded via PPM under theorynx website. In the httpd.conf, I am making the Apache::Registry pointer to be Apache2::ModPerl::Registry. However, when my CGI script is run, I get this error: Server error!

RE: Re: PerlRequire -mod_perl-2 - Apache 2.0.35
Randy: Thanks for your response. Here are my responses: A few things to perhaps look at ... - does the error message give some more specific hint of what may be wrong? Not at all. THE REQUESTED OPERATION HAS FAILED -- This is the message that I get from Apache Monitor Services application. - does the service start OK, with mod_perl-2 enabled, if the PerlRequire statement isn't there? Yes! Apache2 server starts fine under the 'Apache Monitor Services' Application tool, when I remove PerlRequire Statement. And on that Application, it clearly shows the server as : Apache/2.0.35(Win32)mod_perl/1.99_02-dev Perl/v5.6.1 In order for this to work, I had to resort to: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so If I give the command as you had mentioned somewhere as: PerlModule Apache2 or in the startup script as: use Apache2 (); IT NEVER Works! The problem then basically comes back to Apache2 services not being able to started up with no meaningful error messages. So at least to get the server up and running, I had to put LoadModule command rather than PerlModule or the startup script approach! - with the PerlRequire statement, does Apache2 start OK from the console? For this test. I comment the LoadModule statement and am following your advisory in to to.i.e, All that I have in httpd.conf is PerlModule Apache2 Now I am trying from command-line. Here is the error message that I am getting. C:\Apache\Apache2\binapache Syntax error on line 973 of C:/Apache/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'PerlModule', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not inc luded in the server configuration - if it does start OK from the console, does mod_perl work with your application? Not Applicable. - if it doesn't start from the console, does moving the effects of the PerlRequire statement to your application work? No. Randy, any help will be greatly appreciated.

It looks like the Apache2/ subdirectory isn't being added to @INC. Do you 'use Apache2' in your set-up? Does adding that to your script help? It just bombs if I try to use the statement, use Apache2; or use Apache2 (); in the startup script. Well! If you think about it, I am in Catch-22. For startup script to work, PerlRequire should work. That is not working in my case. So I put PerlModule Apache2 expecting that to work! Well, that is not working either. Services Panel correctly recognizes that Mod_Perl_1.99 has been associated with Apache 2.0.35 installation. The Files are in the right directories posited by @INC.

mod_perl-2 - Apache 2.0.35 - Windows NT/2000 - Preliminary Woes cleared
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.
