First, before I write this, I have to thank the folks on #axkit. These guys went the extra mile to help. Given that, here's my story of how I went from a blank hard drive to a working Axkit Install.
Please note that there appears to be a million and one ways to do this (TIMTOWTDI and all of that), this is the way *I* did it. The first thing I did was installed RedHat 7.2 and then installed the updates on top of that. You can find the updates at: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i386 Keep in mind that you might want to install the i686 kernel update if you have a newer machine.

The expat install was the standard "./configure; make; make install". At this point I had to configure Apache. Just below my mod_perl configuration, I put the following: Alias /xml /var/www/xml <Directory /var/www/xml> SetHandler perl-script PerlModule AxKit PerlHandler AxKit AxAddStyleMap text/xsl Apache::AxKit::Language::LibXSLT AxStackTrace Off AxLogDeclines Off </Directory> In order to test it out, I just used the test.xml and test.xsl files found at http://www.axkit.org/docs/quick_start.dkb?section=3 At that point, I fired up my browser and loaded up the test.xml file and bingo, 'ole Jed was a millionaire... -- Quantum Linux Laboratories - ACCELERATING Business with Linux Technology * Education | * Enterprise Integration | http://www.quantumlinux.com * Support | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Engineering does not require science.
