Apache - mod_perl - Windows
Hi, sorry for bothering you with a question concerning mod_perl under windows (it's not that I like windows so much, it's just because I have to use a windows system ...) I tried to install precompiled mod_perl within an Apache 1.3.22 server on Windows 2000 as indicated on http://perl.apache.org, and this failed (error message below). My question is: 1. is there a way to get a precompiled windows version running (I don't want to reset my Apache server to some ancient version!) or 2. is it worth the effort (and likely to be successful) to configure the CPAN module with make- and cc-Utilities (e.g. from cygwin), and is there an *easy* indication how to do it or 3. is Apache/mod_perl and windows an invalid combination which simply should not be used??? Thanks in advance Albrecht Fortenbacher --- 1. my environment is Windows 2000, Apache 1.3.22 and Perl 5.6.1, binary build 629 provided by ActiveState 2. I installed mod_perl via ActiveState's ppm from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages, as indicated on the perl.apache.org page 3. at the end of the installation process, the module mod_perl.so is copied into the Apache modules directory 4. this module is not recognized by Apache, as the following *weird* error message shows: Can't locate API module structure `mod_perl' in file e:/apache/modules/mod_perl. so: (127) The specified procedure could not be found: This error message was produced by the line LoadModule mod_perl modules/mod_perl.so in the httpd.conf file. -- ___ Prof. Dr. Albrecht Fortenbacher Angew.

:: sorry for bothering you with a question concerning mod_perl under :: windows (it's not that I like windows so much, it's just because I have :: to use a windows system ...) Same here - I'm forced to use Windows because we're a Windows only shop. Additionally, I don't know Unix so that kind of limits my opportunities. :-( :: My question is: :: 1. is there a way to get a precompiled windows version running (I don't :: want to reset my Apache server to some ancient version!) I have set up several Windows / Apache / mod_perl servers without any problems whatsoever. I would recommend the following (in order): Download and install the latest non-v2 distribution of Apache Download ActiveState's ActivePerl (http://www.activestate.com/) and install into the Apache directory Use PPM (Perl Package Manager) to download and install mod_perl (and any other module you want). Note: You will need to add the following PPD Repository Path to PPM in order to get mod_perl: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer :: 2. is it worth the effort (and likely to be successful) to configure the :: CPAN module with make- and cc-Utilities (e.g. from cygwin), and is there :: an *easy* indication how to do it :: or It's possible to do it via Cygwin, but not necessary if you follow the steps above. As to whether or not it's worth the effort... YES, YES, YES!!! You have got to see the difference between mod_perl and mod_cgi to believe it. Once you've worked under mod_perl, you'll will never go back to plain old CGI. :: 3. is Apache/mod_perl and windows an invalid combination which simply :: should not be used??? No way. This combination works very well with some caveats (see the documentation for details). Jonathan M. Hollin - WYPUG Co-ordinator West Yorkshire Perl User Group http://wypug.pm.org/

Re: Apache - mod_perl - Windows
Greetings. You may be in need of AddModule mod_perl.c After the ClearModuleList somewhere around line 207 of httpd.conf as distributed. (What's ClearModuleList's used for anyway? I never really understood it - but then again, I never really read its documentation...) As for mod_perl on win32, I am using it and the speed up in the load times is quite impressive. It does have a few glitches, the major possibly being that script execution is single threaded. Look for the relevant discussion in the list's archive (and in a forthcoming documentation upgrade). One thing I noticed on Win2k (but I believe it is Apache releated: as I recall, I saw it in a cgi-bin situation) is that scripts printing abundantly to stderr (which apache redirects to errorr_log) have a tendency to hang. This is an incentive to have a clena compile, if you use warnings ... or to redirect stderr to some other file ;) Cheers, alf
