Re: Problems installing mod_perl2 on Apache2 on Win200

I have followed the instructions at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/os/win32/install.html

I've put the following in my httpd.conf file:
LoadFile "c:/Perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule mod_perl modules/mod_perl.so
PerlRequire "C:/Apache2/conf/extra.pl"

I have expanded mod_perl-2.tar and extracted
mod_perl.so into modules\mod_perl.so.

I have c:perl\bin in my path. And still I get the
error below.
 Can someone help me?

The current mod_perl ppm package was compiled against
Apache 2.0.44, so you should have at least 2.0.43.
To see what version you have, do a
  C:\Path\to\Your\Apache2\bin\Apache.exe -v

If you're running ActivePerl, you should use Visual C++ 6,
for binary compatibility. Unfortunately, this isn't free ...
There are free compilers for Win32 (eg, Borland, cygwin),
but to use these you should compile everything (Perl and
Apache2) with it.

Apache HTTPD seems to be running fine.

Do I have the right version of apache and mod_perl?
I'm unpacking mod_perl2.tar. "perl mpinstall" does not
seem to be giving me any errors.

Apache installed itself in the directory program
files/apache group/apache2 so I think this means I'm
running apache2.

What should I do next? Maybe I should build mod_perl
myself. Which compiler do you recommend for building
mod_perl on NT4 or Windows 2000?

Randy,
I can boot apache and I can view the index.html.en and
navigate to the documentation. No errors. It seems to
be working fine.

Hi,
   Does Apache run OK without mod_perl?

   Did you intend to have "extra.pl" under
C:/Apache2/conf/, when the rest of the stuff is
under C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/?
It's no problem if you do ...

And also did the 'ppm install mod_perl' to install
the Perl side?

Assuming you're using a recent mod_perl 2 ppm package,
is your Apache version at least 2.0.43? Prior versions
may not be compatible with this mod_perl, which was 
compiled against 2.0.44.

Other than that, if at all possible, an idea might be
to install Apache into a directory that doesn't contain
spaces (eg, C:\Apache2). Or if that's not possible, try
using DOS short path names for the directories in httpd.conf.
