For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
mod_perl config problem with apache ?

Posted by mark (mark), 7 January 2004
Hey all,

This should be a simple thing, and I hope its not ... perhaps something very simple and silly is going wrong, but I've exhausted as much as I know.

I'm running
win xp/home
Apache 2.0.48
perl 5.8.2
mod_perl 1.99_13-dev

I installed executables of apache and perl. Then I used PPM to get and install mod_perl

when I run my test program http://localhost/perl/mp_test1.pl


#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "test!\n";

I get "Internal Server Error", so in my apache error.log file I look and find
"[error] failed to resolve handler 'Modperl::Registry'"
and
"[error] Can't locate ModPerl/Registry.pm in @INC (@INC Contains: C:/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/ModPerl C:/Perl/site/win32 C:/Perl/site/win32API
C:/Perl/lib c:/perl/site/lib . c:/apache2 c:/apache2/lib/perl) at (eval 1) line 3.0"

in httpd.conf I have currently added
------------
Alias /perl /Apache2/perl

PerlSwitches -IC:/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/ModPerl
PerlSwitches -IC:/Perl/site/win32
PerlSwitches -IC:/Perl/site/win32API

<Location /perl>
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
   PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
   Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
-------------

The 3 lines of 'PerlSwitches' are intended to add the the @INC which seemed not to be looking in the correct place for ModPerl::Registry.  I had searched the whole of my C: drive and all three locations of Registry are included in the @INC (as shown by the error.log above)

Can someone suggest what I could try to fix this problem ?

Many thanks.

MarK.

Hi,

Maybe you've sorted this by now, but here goes

According to my book, you need something like.

Code:
PerlModule Apache::Registry

<Location /perl>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
    Options +ExecCGI
</Location>


There's so many options for mod_perl, and of course theres mod_perl1 and mod_perl2 now, the combinations are bewildering.

HTH

Cheers for the response.  I actually tried a complete re-install after finding some advice on google and followed the instructions in the follwing link http://savage.net.au/Perl/html/upgrade-perl-apache.html

As far as the google poster was concerned, I had made some error in my install and should start again.

I did and it worked !! (yay!)

One point .in your post you suggest ...

> ... Apache::Registry ...

I think is suitable for apache 1.*, but apache 2.* should use
... ModPerl::Registry ...

I'm by no means an apache/perl/modperl expert, but this has worked for me.

cheers for your suggestions

MarK.
