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.
