My approach is to build perl, Apache, mod_perl, etc. in development
mirroring the directory heirarchy that will exist on the deployed
platform.  Once this is done, I can work within its confines through
unit test.

Consequently I've been able to simply tar/gzip this entire tree from
some common root, drop it onto the install target, undo it all at the
same root and have it function as expected.

I thought I'd be pushing the limits of shared library compatibility and
other arch. details as I'm developing on Solaris 7 and the deployment
target is Solaris 8 ... however it has not failed me yet.

YMMV.

Peace.

Copying Apache/Mod_perl/perl installation

2002-10-08 Thread Ganesan M 

Hi all,

  This is  kinda installation question. I have installed perl, Apache,
Mod_perl with
some modules (GD, Apache FileManager, DBD-Chart etc.,) in my development
machine.
Is there anyway to copy the installation to a similar OS/architecture
without going through all the installtion proceedures.  In another words,
can I copy the installed software/packages to another machine which is of
same OS/architecture?

Any help/url/RTFMs... 'd be appreciated.

TIA,
G-Man.

For the CPAN perl modules, check out the CPAN autobundle feature. It will
make a Bundle file of every perl module installed on your machine, which
you can then copy and install on the new machine. Installing the bundle
file will make it download and install all the CPAN modules. For the rest,
either copy and install the same RPM files, or put the installation steps
into a script, copy the script and tarballs to the new machine and run the
script there.

Hope this helps,

Wes Sheldahl

Never done it myself, and I have to say I'm not a great lover of RPM,
but I'm sure you can - although you might need to work on it a litle.

Take a look at http://www.rpm.org.

RPM?
