RE: Anyone got mod_perl working?

["Dan Horne" <dhorne at xtra dot co dot nz>]

Hi

thanks to those who replied. I have something working, but I'm not sure if
it will come back to bite me later on.

After I've had a play for a while, I may come across a few problems - which
may arise from the way I've installed things, or may be from my code. To try
and eliminate the former, please let me know if I did anything fatally
wrong.

Notes:
* After scouring the net, I found someone who mentioned that they rarely got
"make test" working, but the installation always ran. So after continually
editing scripts and then hitting the next problem, I decided to skip the
testing.
* I avoided the DSO route as it just seemed to be giving me grief

1. Install (everything untarred in /tmp):

in /tmp/mod_perl-1.26

   $ perl Makefile.PL USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1
PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DUSEIMPORTLIB DO_HTTPD=1 APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.22

   $ make


in /tmp/apache_1.3.22

   $ make

back in /tmp/mod_perl-1.26

   $ make install

back in /tmp/apache_1.3.22

   $ make install
   $ /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
   $ cat /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
   [Thu Jan  3 10:02:22 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.22 (Cygwin) mod_perl/1.26
configured -- resuming normal operations
   [Thu Jan  3 10:02:22 2002] [notice] Accept mutex: fcntl (Default: fcntl)


2. Update httpd.conf

    a) In the "aliases" section, I entered:

       Alias /perl/ "/var/www/perl/"

       <Directory "/var/www/perl">
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
          AllowOverride None
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
       </Directory>

    b) Then add the following directive - is this correct?

       <IfModule mod_perl.c>
         <Location /perl>
           SetHandler perl-script
           PerlHandler Apache::Registry
           Options +ExecCGI
         </Location>
       </IfModule>

    c) restart apache


3. Test:

In /var/www/perl, create test.pl as is in Stas Beckman's mod_perl Guide:

    print "Content-type
    print "Server's environment\n";
    foreach ( keys %ENV)
    {
       print "$_\t$ENV{$_}\n";
    }

I had to set the permissions to 755.

The result in my browser:

    SERVER_SOFTWARE	Apache/1.3.22 (Cygwin) mod_perl/1.26
    SERVER_ADMIN	dhorne@DAN-NOTEBOOK
    REMOTE_ADDR	192.168.1.3
    DOCUMENT_ROOT	/usr/local/apache/htdocs
    REQUEST_URI		/perl/test.pl
    REQUEST_METHOD	GET
    SERVER_PORT		8080

Hi

has anyone out there got mod_perl working under cygwin? I'd love to see your
notes.

At the moment, I get stuck during the "make test" phase. The error_log is
