Re: [mp2] Problems with Apache::Request

[Foo Ji-Haw <jh...@nexlabs.com>]

Let me see if I can answer this one.

Your sample code does not use Apache::Request at all. by the way, in the 
latest release of modperl RC5, Apache::Request is now renamed to 
Apache2::Request. You probably can guess why.

If you wish to use the Apache::Request object, you need to first load 
the module in httpd.conf. It should look like this:
LoadModule apreq_module bin/mod_apreq.so

If you choose to upgrade to the latest modperl, use this:
LoadModule apreq_module bin/mod_apreq2.so

Note that the path is bin/mod...Change it to modules/mod_apreq.so if 
that is where the .so file is.

As usual, reload Apache to once you have the line in.
