Re: mod_tcl win32 dll

[Eckhard Lehmann <ec...@gmx.de>]

Hi Jacob,

Hmm, that's strange... checked it on my 2.2.3 installation on WinXP and 
it still works as expected. It's also obviously not related to the 
spaces in the directory name.

How do you start Apache - as a service? Could you try to start it from a 
cmd window in foreground? E.g.:
cmd> cd "C:\Program Files\Apache2.2"
cmd> bin\httpd.exe -w -f conf\httpd.conf -d "C:\Program Files\Apache2.2\."

But - I run it as a service too... no problems.

Here is my setup:
Apache (original installer downloaded from 
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi) installed in C:\Programme\Apache2.2
Apache modules + mod_tcl.dll in C:\Programme\Apache2.2\modules
Config file httpd.conf in C:\Programme\Apache2.2\conf.

My config file is attached for reference. The only line I added in the 
LoadModule sections is
LoadModule tcl_module modules/mod_tcl.dll

TCL_LIBRARY is not necessary, but I've set it to 
C:\Programme\Tcl\lib\tcl8.4 (ActiveTcl 8.4.13 is installed in 
C:\Programme\Tcl)

For me that works - I don't see why it does not work for you, sorry. I 
forward this problem to the mod_tcl mailinglist... maybe others can help?
What is the original error message and where does it appear... in the 
error.log or on the console?
