Perhaps the first thing to check - does LoadFile "C:/Perl/bin/perl56.dll" LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so alone, without any further mod_perl directives, prevent the server from starting? If so, then it might be that you're running into the fact that mod_perl 2.0 on Win32 has problems with perl-5.6.1 (ActivePerl 6xx), and that the solution would be to migrate to perl-5.8.0 (ActivePerl 8xx). However, if the server starts OK above, but things like PerlModule Apache2 cause it to crash, then it might be a misconfiguration, or faulty installation, or something similar. If this is the case, the error log should give a clue about what's failing. -- best regards, randy kobes
