win32 mod_perl, libapreq questions
First: big thanks to Randy Kobes for making the mod_perl PPMs
available. This is a huge help to getting mod_perl running on Win32.
I've installed the mod_perl 1.25 + Apache 1.3.19 PPM without a
problem, and the mod_perl stuff runs fine. (It's loaded as a shared
object, which I guess is necessary for Win32 systems.)
However, I found that when I wanted to use Apache::Request
functionality (including Apache::Cookie), I got a message that
ApachePerlModule.dll could not be found in the library path.
Copying one of the ApachePerlModule.dll files from the Win32/mod_perl
repository let everything boot okay, and basic mod_perl functionality
is there. However, once I try to use Apache::Cookie I get the
following error in a popup 'Red X' dialog:
The instruction at "0xblahblah" referenced memory at
"0x00000000". The memory could not be "read"
What can I do about this? Using something else to parse cookies is
certainly an option (for the short term), but if there's a way around
that I'd certainly prefer taking it :-) If I need to compile something
(or try) I can do so, since this machine has VC++ 6 on it. (I'm used
to unix systems where a compiler/environment is taken for granted :-)
I can provide many more details about the system, setup, etc. if
necessary.
Thanks much,
Chris

Excellent -- this seems to work perfectly! Thanks.

Sorry about that - I forgot that the libapreq development version
required the addition of hvrv2table in the mod_perl build
that isn't there by default. The file
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl-1.25_1.3.19-libapreq.ppd
contains this modified mod_perl build - this should fix the
above problem.
best regards,
randy

Yes, it the .so was put in the right place. But when using
Apache::Request (with the non-dev libapreq), Dynaloader in mod_perl.pm
still demanded that ApacheModulePerl.dll be there.

I'm using mod_perl 1.25 (from the -1.3.19 PPD) and apache 1.3.19, but
when I try to startup something that uses Apache::Cookie, I get:
---------------
Apache.exe: Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point hvrv2table could not be found in the
dynamic link library mod_perl.so
---------------
I've worked around the cookie problem in my application by making each
cookie implementation its own class and switching to CGI::Cookie for
the Win32 implementation. (This is a good thing on its own, so there
*is* always a silver lining :-) So I'm not in a huge rush anymore to
get this up and running. I *am* curious though and will try and help
out as much as I can. Maybe even learn something in the process...
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
This is probably due to an incompatibility between
apache/mod_perl versions - note also that, as of mod_perl-1.25,
the mod_perl dll that is placed in your /Apache/modules
directory is now named mod_perl.so, to agree with the new
apache convention (this dll should be offered to be installed
with the mod_perl ppm install).
I've placed at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/libapreq-dev.ppd
a ppm package of (the development version of) libapreq - this was
built against mod_perl-1.25/apache_1.3.19, so should probably
work with your set-up. If you want to try building this for
yourself with VC++, you'll need the cvs version of libapreq - links
to this are available at http://perl.apache.org/.

randy kobes
