Hi Tim,
<flameproof>AIX is unix hell :=)</flameproof> Solaris 8 and better ships with a binary apache with a statically linked mod_perl, the following doc will guide you: http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch01.pdf If you just want to evaluate Apache::ASP you might consider installing on Linux or even on Windows. mvh, #--------------------------------------------------- # Robert Friberg java,xml,perl,uml,sql,delphi, # +46733839080 c/c++,vb,wap,php,linux,apache # # www.ensofus.se konsulting,internetsystem, # Ensofus AB utbildning, Miljö Online #--------------------------------------------------- > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: timj_moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Skickat: den 6 februari 2002 18:01 > Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Ämne: Installing from scratch Apache + mod_perl + Apache::ASP (+maybe > others) on unix > > > Okay, I'm having a nightmare trying to install all this on both > Solaris and AIX.
