Can someone conferm or deny this? The current mod_perl-2 package we have I did test on a W2000 machine (and XP), with an ActivePerl 6xx build - it worked for some simple things, but seems to run into problems with more complicated stuff (for some definition of more complicated). The fact that you're not even able to start it suggests there may be an incompatibility between your Apache version (or some other library) and the one that the mod_perl-2 package was compiled against, although the versions seemed to match. But before you put in a lot of effort into resolving this, I'd encourage considering an upgrade to ActivePerl 8xx. Upgrading is a major step, but if the main concern is this issue with mod_perl, then an upgrade will definitely help in general - perl-5.8 has improved threading support over perl-5.6.1, among other things, and mod_perl 2 seems to get caught up in some issues with perl-5.6.1 that have been resolved in perl-5.8. A major concern with upgrading though is the availability of ppm packages - ActiveState's 8xx repository isn't as complete as their 6xx one. They're aware of this problem, and are working on an automated build system which hopefully will address this soon. -- best regards, randy

Hello, We have a problem getting mod_perl to run on a W2000 server. It does work on another machine running WinNT4, so I think there are no errors in my configuration files. Actually I'm having a windows machine at home and I got mod_perl working with ActiveState perl. I've written a howto on my personal website. You might want to try check it out, hopefully it will prove useful :) http://www.webmatrix.net/log/modperl-win32/ Hope that helps, -- Building a better web - http://www.mkdoc.com/ - Jean-Michel Hiver [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +44 (0)114 255 8097 Homepage: http://www.webmatrix.net/
