Configuring mod_perl 2.0 for Win32
This document discusses how to configure mod_perl 2.0.
Add this line to C:/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
Be sure that the path to your Perl binary (eg, C:/Perl/bin) is in your PATH environment variable. You may also want to use a start-up script to load commonly used modules; this can be done with a directive as, eg,
PerlRequire "C:/Apache2/conf/extra.pl"
where a sample start-up script C:/Apache2/conf/extra.pl is
use Apache2 (); use ModPerl::Util (); use Apache::RequestRec (); use Apache::RequestIO (); use Apache::RequestUtil (); use Apache::Server (); use Apache::ServerUtil (); use Apache::Connection (); use Apache::Log (); use Apache::Const -compile => ':common'; use APR::Const -compile => ':common'; use APR::Table (); use Apache::compat (); use ModPerl::Registry (); use CGI (); 1;
The Apache2 module is used to add to @INC the relevant directories underneath, eg, /Perl/site/lib/Apache2/ used when building mod_perl 2.0 with an MP_INST_APACHE2=1 option to perl Makefile.PL (the PPM packages discussed above were built this way). Apache::compat is used to provide backwards compatibility with mod_perl 1.0. ModPerl::Registry, named so as not to conflict with Apache::Registry of mod_perl 1.0, is used for registry scripts.
Maintainer is the person(s) you should contact with updates, corrections and patches.
Only the major authors are listed above. For contributors see the Changes file.
