I downloaded and installed Apache2, works fine.
I downloaded and installed ActivePerl 5.8.
I ran this install line from the command prompt (Windows 2000):
C:\> ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/mod_perl.ppd
Everything seemed to load fine, until the end, when it asked me what folder to put the (library? mod_perl.so?) files in:
/Apache2
The first time I just pressed enter, and it said the directory didn't exist, did I want to create it, and I typed in "Yes". It said it couldn't create the directory, and the mod_perl.so was not installed.
I deleted the directory, rebooted, tried the ppm install again. This time I tried to type in a directory manually, "/Apache2/". Same problem, the install aborted, with the message that it couldn't create the directory, and so the mod_perl.so file wasn't installed.
I got my hands on mod_perl.so, and I configured Apache2's httpd.conf accordingly, with these lines:
LoadFile "D:/Perl/bin/Perl58.dll" LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so PerlModule Apache2
Well, Apache starts right up no problem, and all my old web pages work as always, but any known working .pl file I place in the cgi-bin directory gives me an Apache "Internal Server Error". Even the simple helloworld.pl
My Perl install works from the command prompt, the scripts process correctly. Just not from my web browser.
Any help getting my Perl scripts to run from my cgi-bin would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
