Re: AddModule mod_perl.c
Hi Perrin, When I get rid of the LoadModule line I can't load Apache - it complains of Perl. Also the hello.pl does work w/ plain CGI-Perl I tried that right away. It just doesn't work w/ mod_perl. I am stumped and am probably going to give up shortly - thank anyways. John Kolvereid --- Perrin Harkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry you're having so much trouble with the install.

I'm afraid I'm not that much help with install problems because I just haven't had any of my own to deal with. You can try using Apache Toolbox to do the build. It's supposed to make this stuff easier. If it seems hopeless, you could always check out SpeedyCGI, which gives a similar speedup for perl CGI scripts bu does not require apache to be recompiled. It doesn't give you access to the full range of mod_perl tools, but it may be all you need in this case. - Perrin __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Install success - finally
Hi, After several frustrating weeks I am finally able, w/ all your help, to successfully install mod_perl. The problem was in the mod_perl configuration. I had used the line APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.23 it should have been APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.23/src Then after examining the site http://www.delouw.ch/linux/apache.phtml I added the following lines to my Apache configuration --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --enable-module=perl Now I am successfully running Apache 1.3.23 mod_perl 1.26 PHP 4.0.6 mod_ssl 2.8.7 openssl 0.9.6b Jakarta Tomcat 4.0 My most sincere thanks go to all of you on the mod_perl mailing list, esp. RB - OCNS Consulting Ged Haywood Stas Bekman Per Einar Ellefsen Perrin Harkins jon schatz Now I can continue reading the book Apache Modules w/ Perl C. Thanks again. John Kolvereid __ Do You Yahoo!?

Install NOT quite successful
Hi again, I was so excited when I thought mod_perl was installed that I forgot to try the web site. I WAS able to load the page odin/perl/hello.pl which is located in my Apache::Registry. Then I tried to load my home page. I got the all-too-familiar 'The document contained no data' and nothing appeared. Now I know I am close but still no cigar. Any thoughts on why whenever I try to load my home page I get the pop-up window w/ the msg: 'The document contained no data' Please advise. I know I am close. Thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Install NOT quite successful
Hi again, Here's a hint that may trigger why I can't load my home page. When I start Apache I get the msgs (from the error_log): [error] Cannot remove module mod_perl.c: not found in module list. Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26 PHP/4.0.6 mod_ssl/2.8.7 OpenSSL/0.9.6b configured - resuming normal operations Does this help explain why I only get the msg: 'The document contained no data' I have no idea what document it is referring to.

Re: Apache::Registry question
Kirk Rogers wrote: How do i configure the httpd.conf file to maintain two different cgi-bin directories with Apache::Registry? Not sure if I'm asking the question correctly so here's a quick explanation. I have two cgi-bin directories under one Virtual host: this way works for me: VirtualHost 1.2.3.4 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /path/to/doc/root ServerName www.whatever.com ServerAlias whatever.com ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/cgi-bin/ Directory /path/to/cgi-bin AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all SetHandlerperl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry /Directory Directory /path/to/some/other/cgi-bin AllowOverride AuthConfig Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all Files somefile.cgi AuthName Restricted Area AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /path/to/users/file require valid-user SetHandlerperl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry /Files /Directory /VirtualHost
Closer to installation
Me again, I removed the lines --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --enable-module=perl and recompiled Apache. Then I commented out the line AddModule mod_perl.c from my httpd.conf. Now I don't get the msg: 'The document contained no data' Moreover, I can open my home page as before. Also I can load my 'hello.pl' from the Apache::Registry location /perl/hello.pl. The only thing I can't do now is to load the 'hello.pl' from a web page. I am trying centerform action=/perl/hello.pl input type=submit value=mod_perl /formcenter as I do w/ CGI scripts. What appears in the browser is the text of the page rather than the html. Yet the very same page appears fine when I load it directly w/ URL: /odin/perl/hello.pl For reference my mod_perl.conf file is PerlRequire conf/mod_perl.pl PerlFreshRestart On Location /hello/world SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Hello /Location Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/ Location /perl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry PerlSendHeader On Options ExecCGI Allow from all /Location Any thoughts.

Re: AddModule mod_perl.c
Hi Per, I did get my Apache to work w/ mod_perl only by using the following configurations: mod_perl-1.26 perl Makefile.PL \ USE_APXS=1 \ WITH_APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \ EVERYTHING=1 apache_1.3.23 configure \ --enable-module=info \ --enable-module=status \ --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \ --enable-module=perl \ --prefix=/usr/local/apache My home page loads into the browser and when I try to link to a .pl page in /perl/ where SetHandler perl-script PerlHandle Apache::Registry it loads fine. One problem is that when I try to link to an ordinary html page in /perl/ I get an error: head titleMod_perl/title /head body centerHello World/center /body Not quite sure why. (Any ideas). Now I guess I will begin the arduous task of trying to install SSL, PHP, JSP, webapps additionally. Any advice. Thanks.
