INSTALL
The latest Apache::ASP can be found at your nearest CPAN,
and also:
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Apache/
As a perl user, you should make yourself familiar with
the CPAN.pm module, and how it may be used to install
Apache::ASP, and other related modules.
Once you have downloaded it, Apache::ASP installs easily using
the make or nmake commands as shown below. Otherwise, just
copy ASP.pm to $PERLLIB/site/Apache
> perl Makefile.PL
> make
> make test
> make install
* use nmake for win32
Please note that you must first have the Apache HTTP Server
& mod_perl installed before using this module in a web server
environment. The offline mode for building static html may
be used with just perl.
Need Help
Often, installing the mod_perl part of the Apache server
can be the hardest part. If this is the case for you,
check out the FAQ and SUPPORT sections
for further help.
RedHat Issues
If you have a RedHat Linux server with an RPM style
Apache + mod_perl, seriously consider building a static version
of the httpd server yourself, not DSO. DSO is marked as
experimental for mod_perl, and often does not work,
resulting in "no request object" error messages.
Quick Start
Once you have successfully built the Apache HTTP Server with mod_perl,
copy the ./site/eg/ directory from the Apache::ASP installation
to your Apache document tree and try it out! You must put "AllowOverride All"
in your httpd.conf <Directory> config section to let the .htaccess file in the
./site/eg installation directory do its work. If you want a starter
config file for Apache::ASP, just look at the .htaccess file in the
./site/eg/ directory.
You will know that Apache::ASP is working normally if you
can run the scripts in ./site/eg/ without any errors.
