NAME

Configuring mod_perl 2.0 for Win32

Description

This document discusses how to configure mod_perl 2.0.

Configuration

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.
