Does perl have Failover with Open Source Web Platforms?
My client is partial to perl so I installed mod_perl on Apache HTTPD on his windows servers. Now, however, he wants to price a linux cluster with raid to replace his windows servers. He needs declarative role based authorization and authentication for his web site -- and maybe fault tolerance too depending on the price of the hardware for a linux server. JBoss is cheap and open source with these features. My client, however, is partial to perl. How can we get perl with failover on a linux cluster? Also, what are your favorite hardware vendors for linux clusters? Thanks, Siegfried __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Web Hosting - establish your business online http://webhosting.yahoo.com
Wanted: Experience with EmbPerl on Win2000/Apache HTTPD?
Since I had such a tough time installing mod_perl on Win2000, I thought I would solicit for experiences getting Hello, World running with EmbPerl on Apache HTTPD on Windows2000. What URL did you download embperl from? Did you get any errors during installation? What is the URL you used for installation instructions? What is the URL you used for the instructions for getting HelloWorld to appear? Thanks, Siegfried __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/
The procedure entry point for modperl_global_request could ot be located in the dynamic link library mod_perl.so.
I downloaded http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe and ran the perl config.pl program. Since I received so many errors (see end of this email message) I decided to use my existing perl at c:\Perl\bin which is a version of 5.8 that is already in my path. When I start apache, I now get the error: The procedure entry point for modperl_global_request could ot be located in the dynamic link library mod_perl.so. OK. I've tried everything short of building mod_perl myself (including the perl mpinstall, the single line ppm command and the repository command for ppm3). I'm trying to install Apache2 with mod_perl on perl5.8 on windows and I'm getting nowhere because I cannot seem to get a good copy of mod_perl. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Siegfried Here are some of the errors from typing perl config.pl. I already had a good installation of Perl5.8 at c:\Perl\bin so I decided not to move \Program files\Apache Group\Perl to c:\Perl. When I received a lot of errors, I tried using the managed filename format (C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/) but that did not help. - at =head in paragraph 1205. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unexpected =item directive in paragraph 1206. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 1228. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unexpected =item directive in paragraph 1229. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 1233. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unexpected =item directive in paragraph 1289. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 1304. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unexpected =item directive in paragraph 1306. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 1318. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unexpected =item directive in paragraph 1384. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 1977. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/AuthDBI.pm: unexpected =i tem directive in paragraph 146. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/AuthDBI.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 184. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/AuthDBI.pm: unexpected =i tem directive in paragraph 206. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/AuthDBI.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 209. ignoring. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/BuildConfig. pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/CmdParms.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Command.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/compat.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Connection.p m. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Const.pm. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/DBI.pm: unexpected =item directive in paragraph 76. ignoring. installhtml: C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/DBI.pm: unterminated list at =head in paragraph 79. ignoring. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Directive.pm . installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Filter.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/FilterRec.pm . installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/HookRun.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Log.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Mason.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Module.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ParseSource. pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/PerlSection. pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Process.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Reload.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/RequestIO.pm . installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/RequestRec.p m. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/RequestUtil. pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Response.pm. installhtml: no title for C:/PROGRA~1/APACHE~1/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Server.pm. installhtml: no title for

Re: Problems installing mod_perl2 on Apache2 on Win200
Apache HTTPD seems to be running fine. Do I have the right version of apache and mod_perl? I'm unpacking mod_perl2.tar. perl mpinstall does not seem to be giving me any errors. Apache installed itself in the directory program files/apache group/apache2 so I think this means I'm running apache2. What should I do next? Maybe I should build mod_perl myself. Which compiler do you recommend for building mod_perl on NT4 or Windows 2000?
