Mod perl performance and DSO?
All,
I have a brand new redhat 9 box. I have plenty of
diskspace and I need to install apache mode perl mod
php and mod ssl.
Most information I find on the web to do this uses
DSO. Performance is absolutely critical for this
machine, it's going to be handling millions of web
'hits' per day.
My question is, should we use DSO or not?
My second question is, is this a daft question?
Kind regards
Marty

Yes, that's been my decision as well. I still don't know what version of
Apache you are using, but if it's 1.x, then you may want to try
Apachetoolbox[1]. I use it to compile mod_perl and mod_ssl. However, I
have not tried to compile mod_php along with mod_perl. There is a pretty
good online forum which you could turn to if you hit any snags. Let me
know how it turns out; I may need to do this myself one day.
Good luck,
William

Hmmm, I'm a little concerned that using DSO does have
a performance hit for no real benefit for what we wish
to do. Hmm, now just need to find instructions on
building apache with mod_ssl, mod_perl and mod_php?
without using DSO, any ideas? (whilst I'm off to
google...)

You didn't mention what version of Apache you were using but try this
url for a starter:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Pros_and_Cons_of_Building_mod_perl_as_DSO
You can answer the 2nd question for yourself after you read the above :).
