Andre and Randy, thank you for your advice. I re-installed active perl 5.8.9 and this fixed the starting apache problem: Apache started OK with mod_perl I still face the problem of running perl scripts. When I point the browser to my 2 line test.pl, the browser opens the Download File dialog. When I select open it fires a MS shell window for a second and closes the window. Here is the test.pl below:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Hello, World."; Here are several lines from httpd.conf: #AddHandler cgi-script .pl .ip # I tried each of these lines separately - same effect SetHandler perl-script # these instructions are on the global level, same effect inside a directory <Directory "C:/myScripts"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ------------------------ Thank you for your help, Jeff --- On Mon, 4/20/09, Jeff Zhuk <jeff_z...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Jeff Zhuk <jeff_z...@yahoo.com> Subject: cannot LoadModule mod_perl on apache2.2 To: modperl@perl.apache.org Date: Monday, April 20, 2009, 9:34 AM Hello! I'd highly appreciate any help/advice on the following. I installed mod_perl 2 on Apache 2.2 using the following: >ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/mod_perl.ppd ==================== Install 'mod_perl' version 2.0.4 in ActivePerl 5.8.4.810. ==================== Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Apache2\typemap Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Apache2\Access\Access.bs .... It was the first time install, so I don't think I need any renaming. Right? I can see the mod_perl.so in the Apache/modules directory on windows XP. I have 2 lines in the http.conf: LoadFile "C:/Perl/bin/perl58.dll" LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so Apache doesn't want to start unless I comment the LoadModule line. I don't see any specific error in the error.log (I think this log only starts after Apache starts) Any advice? Thank you, Jeff
