Could you not use deja or Remarq.

Alternatively, for a small fee (per message) I will email you each and
every message on your required NG and will mail any of your replies

Wrong forum really, I think you need the apache specific forum.

But.

Sounds like you need to ensure your localhost network is set up correctly
first (i.e., get to the point where you can ping localhost)
Then you need to ensure apache is configured so you can access html pages on
your local machine. This may require some browser configuration too)
Then you need to configure apache to allow execution of cgi scripts.

If you already have achieved some of these then you need to be more specific
about what isn't happening and what error messages you are getting.

This was the problem. The mod wasn't enabled but the rule was in there.
I'm still having problems enabling the mod which is a bit worrying but
that's a different story, I may ask for assistance later.

Thanks both for your help.

I'm going to change my mind now. I'm still not using it.

To use that mod surely I need to do the following:-

Edit Configure to enable the mod_rewrite
perl Makefile.PL .{with everything enabled}
make && make install
cd apache dir
make install

The mod is now statically linked in, right?

Or am I completely wrong?

I wasn't but I am now and it's made no difference.

Next ;-)

Virtual Hosts and POST

[Jon Wyatt]

I've just installed mod_perl (of which I have no previous experience) on
my server and configured it apparently correctly for a single site
server. The site runs scripts quite happily, notably POST methods are
accepted.

Then I start setting up virtual hosts, post requests are no accepted on
these hosts.
What directives do I need? I appreciate this might look like an apache
problem but I'm using the pre-mod_perl config file and the only thing
that has changed is the mod_perl addition.

An example virtual host config looks like:-


Options ExecCGI Includes
DocumentRoot /home/billy
ServerAdmin billy@billy
ServerName www.billy.com
Alias /perl/ /home/billy/cgi-bin/
Alias /cgi-bin/ /home/billy/cgi-bin/   


And the relevant section in my mod_perl.conf looks like


SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
all from all
PerlSendHeader On
