Hello,
I have been trying to get mod_perl running on my Mandrake Linux 7 system that
was supposed to have mod_perl installed along with Apache when I originally
installed the OS. I have the following on my system:
Apache, Version 1.3.12
perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
mod_perl/1.21
>From what I can tell, my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file addresses mod_perl with
one of last lines of the file stating the following:
Include conf/addon-modules/mod_perl.conf
My mod_perl.conf file is located in /etc/httpd/conf/addon-modules. The contents
of this file are as follows:
MOD_PERL.CONF FILE
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so
AddModule mod_perl.c
Alias /mod-perl/ /home/httpd/mod-perl/
<Location /mod-perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
I have placed a mod_perl script into my mod_perl script directory
(/home/httpd/mod-perl) called modperl.pl and tried to run it from the Netscape
command line:
http:/./192.168.0.2/mod-perl/modperl.pl but I only get the following error
eventhough the file exists and is not empty:
The document contained no data. Try again later, or contact the server's
administrator. <OK>
I can run CGI scripts from the /home/httpd/cgi-bin directory however. What am I
doing wrong??? Can someone help me out? Thanks a lot!
