Two things, First check out http://www.apachetoolbox.com/ About as out-of-the-box as you can get. Last time I tried it seemed to 'do the right thing' for me. For mod_perl specifics you might also check out chapter 1 of the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook. I think it's a pretty good stab at showing a novice how to compile and install apache+mod_perl (though not mod_ssl... alas) The complete chapter is online at http://www.modperlcookbook.org/ Regards, Paul On Thu, Feb 07, 2002 at 12:04:19AM +, Ged Haywood wrote: Hi there, On Thu, 7 Feb 2002, Rod Butcher wrote: professionals are being driven mad, despite reading the Guide (which despite being complete is still mysterious, it comes across as having a mission statement to contain everything rather than to be useful, sorry).

I agree that Apache Toolbox does a nice job for apache/mod_perl installation -- even goes out and gets the source for you. I would like to mention that I got a great deal of benefit from the INSTALL document from the mod_ssl distribution -- it contains many examples of configuring and compiling common Apache configurations such as Apache+SSL+mod_perl+PHP...etc... It went a long way towards alleviating my confusion when I first started working with Apache.
