Hello, I am looking for some help getting started with mod_perl. I am at a stopping point where I am at a loss...
my setup is as follows: windows xp pro w/sp2 apache 2.0.54 active perl, v5.8.6 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
I am already consulting: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/config.html
so far everything is working up to the point where I put in the following strings in httpd.conf
LoadFile "C:/SERVER/perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
Apache service will start without errors.
if I add the following line: PerlRequire "C:/SERVER/apache2/Apache2/conf/extra.pl"
with the code placed in an ascii text file named accordingly in the /conf directory, apache fails to start.
If I remove the line, apache will start normally. If I put in the lines:
Alias /perl/ "C:/SERVER/apache2/Apache2/perl/"
<Location "C:/SERVER/apache2/Apache2/perl">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
</Location>
apache will fail to start. I have also tried cutting and pasting the entry unchanged: Alias /perl/ "/Apache2/perl/" <Location /perl> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry Options +ExecCGI PerlOptions +ParseHeaders </Location>
Obviously I am missing something or have inadvertently skipped a step; the directories all exist as indicated. pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Don
