i have a set of detailed plans that allows for a mod_ssl front end with mutliple backends, of which i have built mod_perl and mod_php. this version works in a virtualhost environment (i did not setup the php for virtualhost, but that is trivial). it has not yet been tested in a heavy production environment, but it should build just fine, and it will work great for testing and learning. i think it will work better on 1.3.24 (because of better proxy buffering and releasing), but there was a bug in that release, and the patch came out after i reverted to 1.3.23. let me know if you'd like a copy. cliff John Kolvereid wrote: Hi Perrin, I might try it later.

RE: Thanks and GoodBye
Hi John, I haven't been following your case in details but my oppinion is that if you have a clean install of any common Unix platform (or at least one mentioned in the mod_perl doc.) it should be no problem to install a default mod_perl enabled Apache. From what I can see you use Redhat 6.2 which is _very_ common I guess. Personally I don't use anything but FreeBSD, and mod_perl has never caused my big problems. Most Unix distributions come out of the box well capable of installing mod_perl right away... to my knowledge. That being said, I have had times when it didn't make all the output files needed for merging mod_perl into my httpd. But that has only been the case when I also wanted mod_php and mod_ssl in the same httpd. So my suggestion is, that you either clean your current box and re-install from scratch (if it's not a production site), or try a clean install on a new test box if you have that available. You should definately not give up. It's not hard at all.

John Kolvereid wrote: Hi, Thanks for all your help, but I am NOT able to install mod_perl. don't give up, john. it's a hard road, especially for those just starting out, but it is worth it :) I haven't read all of your thread in detail, but I would suggest that if you are really having that much trouble that you take a few baby steps first and try a binary distribution of mod_perl. for instance, most linux distributions have pre-compiled binary packages for both Apache and mod_perl (as a DSO) that work rather well out of the box. Solaris also has a binary mod_perl package. and if you just want to start playing with mod_perl's features, I've seen absolutely nothing easier than Randy's Win32 distribution of Perl/Apache/mod_perl (which can be found at ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/perl-win32-bin-0.7.exe) - I was simply amazed at how quickly I was able to install Randy's package and run stuff immediately. for instructions on installing the various binary packages, you can see chapter 1 of the cookbook (http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch01.pdf), as well as the valuable information in the eagle book and guide that I'm sure you've looked over already. in particular, there's a section in the guide for installing redhat rpms which, though a bit dated now, is still pretty accurate.

Re: Footer.pm - Thanks
G.W., Thanks for the help with my question. I meant to send a note yesterday, but to be honest, couldn't remember if I actually sent it. So wanted to be safe rather than ungrateful. Regarding the points you made, I will need to look into them a bit more before I really know if I'm running things the right way. I kind of followed a cook-book and got this thing working, and to be honest, I really am not sure what I've got (mod_perl or Apache::Registry). :) Specifically, the only module i've tried so far is the Footer.pm, and it in fact was installed into: /usr/local/apache/lib/perl/Apache. As for the "bit" about cgi-bin, I did not know that it would make a difference, so I just used it as an example. Actually, I have in the httpd.conf file the following: Alias /db-bin/ "/home/httpd/db-bin/" Location "/db-bin" SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry PerlSendHeader On Options +ExecCGI /Location # Location "/db-bin" # SetHandler perl-script # PerlHandler Apache::Footer # /Location ## Commented out as the CGI.pm won't parse otherwise. If you still happen to be reading this, I'd sure appreciate a quick note if anything obvious jumps out at you regarding directories (above). I'm in the process of trying to understand why my "stuff" fails under "use strict;" (vars, redefined subroutines, etc.) and then I'll try and go for the Footer. But if it's a simple one, would love to knock it out and have some uniform footers. :) Thanks again for your help. -Brett As for the --- "G.W.

Now, what used to be sent out as html is sent out looking like: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; blah, blah, I'm using CGI.pm and Apache::Registry. What did I miss? I can't see anything about Apache::Registry in your message except the bit where you claim to be using it. Without seeing your entire Apache configuration I'm not _sure_ you're doing this, but I think you are trying to have your Location cgi-bin handled BOTH by mod_perl AND by mod_cgi. I don't think you really want that. You want some other Location such as cgi-perl for your mod_perl stuff, so you keep cgi-bin for old CGI scripts and stuff like that. To keep it clean, I wouldn't even use Registry on things in there. So for example for mod_perl stuff you might say: Alias /perl/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-perl/ Location /perl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Footer /Location and for Apache::Registry stuff: Alias /registry/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-registry/ Location /perl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry /Location The `Location' /perl/ doesn't really exist, it's just a URI that triggers Apache to look for things in the directory (in this case) /usr/local/apache/cgi-perl/. Then when it's time to serve the content Apache notices that there's a handler installed for that location, the handler being mod_perl. When it's handling requests for stuff to be served from that location, mod_perl gets the instruction to call Apache::Footer. Apache::Footer just modifies the file and sends it on its way. Similarly for Registry (presumably what used to be your CGI) scripts. There's nothing wrong with the example in the Eagle Book. 73, Ged. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Thanks everybody for helping me install The Apache Webserver 1.3.9 with mod_Perl 1.21 CGI support for windows 98. The binary I used was downloaded from: ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/ filename: perl-win32-bin-0.5.exe ( about 10 meg ) The problem was that the ApacheModulePerl.dll did not load. The solution is: 1) remove c:\apache, c:\perl, c:\openssl and unzip/install the distrobution again, this way you get clean install again 2) copy c:\perl\PerlCRT.lib to c:\perl\5.00503\lib copy c:\perl\PerlCRT.dll to c:\windows\system32 3) set PATH to something like PATH=%PATH%;"C:\ProgramFiles\Mts";"C:\ProgramFiles\DevStudio\VC\bin"; "C:\PERL\5.00503\BIN\MSWin32-x86";"C:\PERL\5.00503\BIN";c:\apache;C:\openssl\bin; 4) restart windows 5) now from the prompt you should get some answer to say 'perl -V' or something similar 6) included configs are OK, you select the one with modperl and change stuff the way you need it (for testing the server the default should be ok, I usually change just DocRoot and add few virtual servers) ( make sure all the /apache are replaced with c:/apache ) ( make sure all the @@ServerRoot@@ are replaced with c:/apache ) 7) create a empty dir c:\apache\logs 8) start it with C:\Apache\Apache.exe (maybe you'll need something like apache -d c:\apache) 9) you're done 10) enjoy ! :) Thanks to Robert ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for supplying this fantastic solution !
