Hi,
Either nobody has attempted to install mod_perl2 under Windows Vista
(unlikely) or it's gone in without a hitch. I find this latter scenario
equally improbable, but I can't find any references to the following problem:
ActivePerl 5.8.8 build 820, Apache_2.2.4 Win32 binary, mod_perl2.0.ppd from
theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca repository. All installed OK and Apache2 starts up OK
until 'LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so' added to httpd.conf,
causing 'httpd -k start' to generate the following error:
httpd: Syntax error on line 116 of Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load
C:/Apache2.2/modules/mod_perl.so into server: The specified module could not
be found.
But mod_perl.so *is* there, along with many other .so files.
Vista has some file permission issues that XP didn't have, but I don't know
if that is the problem. Anyone encountered this before or have some
suggestions? Thanks.
I haven't heard of anyone having problems like this, but
that doesn't mean there isn't one (I don't have Vista). One
thing to check - if you're running Apache/2.2, you should
install the mod_perl.ppd file (not mod_perl-2.0, which is
for Apache/2.0). If you installed mod_perl-2.0, try
uninstalling it (including mod_perl.so) and installing
the mod_perl ppm package.
