Running Multiple Servers

[Jonathan Vanasco <jv...@mastersofbranding.com>]

Can anyone point me towards a good reference for running multiple 
mod_perl servers on the same box?

I'm going to be having 2-3 mod_perl apps running at once on a box I've 
got.

I've read the mod_perl o'reilly book with the chapter that covers 
'optimizing' performance by separating the mod_perl from vanilla apache 
and using a proxypass to pass it over to an alternate port.

I'm trying to figure out if it'll be worth the headache to set up a 
separate apache server for each mod_perl project.  I know in practice 
there should be a decent performance gain from less shared memory -- 
but it looks like a nightmare to set up.

Its not really all that hard...

as long as you are good with mod_rewrite or similiar.

Took me about 10 minutes to setup something that would
be similiar to what you are talking about. ( 10 minutes
after discounting compilation time. )

I can't find the same document in the mod_perl 2.0 tree, but this has  
served me well in the past:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/ 
install.html#Installing_Perl_Modules_into_a_Directory_of_Choice
