Okay, I'm having a nightmare trying to install all this on both Solaris and AIX. I'm finding the different installation methods for each very confusing (and not only that but documentation and posts on newsgroups all seem to vary in install methods).
First I started off with Apache, and managed to get that built. Spent a huge amount of time installing frontpage extensions and patching/rebuilding Apache for that, but got that working. Then looked at Apache::ASP. So then I need mod_perl. Downloaded that and tried building it but it decides to rebuild Apache it's own way and I can't then work out how to get the frontpage extensions in. Okay, I'll live without the fp extensions (only useful so I can edit using InterDev on PC), but I may have to build in other modules later (SSL for example). Right, now for Apache::ASP. Kick off the 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' command, do 'install Bundle::Apache::ASP' and all hell breaks loose. It seems to go off installing loads of other packages some of which have errors in. I don't know what they are because they all scroll off the screen and I just can't get anywhere with it. I don't know much about the perl shell thing and I don't have time to learn it if it's going to take weeks to understand. I've tried different approaches by downloading manually and running the Makefile.PL through perl, but that tells me I need things it depends on. Does anyone have a very simple set of instructions (an 'idiots guide', especially aimed at someone who's more of a Windows/IIS expert than unix/apache) for installing Apache + mod_perl + Apache::ASP that will work every time, including what I need to check for on my system (the right permissions, though I'm running as root to install, environment variables, required components and files, should I be using gcc or not, etc). Better still, are there pre-built binaries with the whole lot I can download? I'm a little concerned about using the perl shell thing as this would have to be installed on customer sites. I really need a simple installer that can be packaged up with anything we ship to customers. Talking of which, how does the licencing stand for shipping Apache::ASP as part of any product we make? All I want to do is evaluate Apache::ASP but I'm at a loss as to how to install it and I'm afraid I'll have to abandon it as a solution just because I can't get it running. As far as I know the Sun and AIX boxes are set up it their default configurations. If anyone wants to debug my Apache::ASP install hassles I can post some sort of log file if there is one but I don't know if there is or how to get to it. Thanks in advance for any help/tips. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
