Both mod_perl 1 and 2 on same machine

[Walt Reed <pe...@kplex.org>]

I have a need to install both apache 1.3.x / mod_perl 1.x and apache
2.2.x / mod_perl 2.x on the same machine. 

Googling returns some hits from 2004 that mention MP_INST_APACHE2=1, but
that option no longer exists in current versions of mod_perl 2.

Didn't see anything obvious in the install manual either.

Suggestions?

I have a couple machines with multiple versions of apache and mod_perl.
A front end proxy apache22 installed from ports, and source install of 
apache13+mod_perl in /usr/local/apache-perl and a source install of 
apache22+mod_perl2 in /usr/local/apache22-perl.
I only have one version of perl and haven't had any problems.

Not really any reason to do anything that esoteric. Change the Perl
library paths in Apache's config files using ModPerl 1 on 1.3 and 2 on
2.x, run Apache 1 and 2 on different ports, and you're good.

FreeBSD jail's

Linux chroot's

I run several different FreeBSD jails on a single server that have defferent apache/perl/php/postgres etc
in. Some are projects that were built on from FreeBSD 3/4 and run on a FreeBSD 5.x server. Works very
well with very little overhead.

Total overkill, and the performance hit is not worth it.  Even my
suggestion of separate perl installs is overkill unless you need to
use a CPAN module that doesn't play well with both installed.

I'd second the latter suggestion -- 2 separate local installs for all  
apache/mp related CPAN modules.

I'd also remove the /Apache and /Apache2 directories and touch them  
as flat files -- just to make sure no one can accidentally install  
files in them.  your requirements are likely to cause you a ton of  
headaches in the future -- best now to plan ahead and minimize them

My approach would be to install two copies of perl, and put one of
them on each.  Or, install each in a local perl lib directory rather
than the system dir.  (Local installs of CPAN modules are well-covered
elsewhere.)
