So if it's at all possible, it's probably a good idea to upgrade to Apache_1.3.20. If that's impossible, there are older Apache/mod_perl versions in http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl-legacy/. The versioning goes mod_perl-x.xx_y.yy.ppd, where x.xx refers to the mod_perl version and y.yy refers to the apache version. You should note the .ppd file corresponding to your apache version, and install it as (all on one line) ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl-legacy/whatever.ppd Using a mod_perl version compiled for a different apache than you're using doesn't always work. Note that, after Apache_1.3.15, the name of the mod_perl dll that goes into your Apache modules/ directory was changed from ApacheModulePerl.dll to mod_perl.so. best regards, randy kobes
Re: question on installing mod_perl to activePerl on win98
Thanks, I have installed mod_perl successfully by setting the repository to http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/. I have one more question. The version of mod_perl is 1.25 which is written for apache 1.3.20, my apache version is 1.3.14, I think I need copy the file mod_perl.so to apachemodperl.dll, right? What else I need to do? Or I have to use apache 1.3.20 instead of 1.3.14?
