I tried to install XAMPP 1.5.4a and then Perl Addon 5.8.8-2.2.3. I used both the INSTALLER method and unzipping the zip files. In both cases I tried to install to c:\xampp as installation root (and NO, I do NOT end up with c:\xampp\xampp
Anyway, when I try to install manually, I always execute the setup_xampp (in order to set up Apache with MOD_PERL) and then run xampp-control to set up services and start the stuff. If I install via the installer, I just use the default options and set up services that way. Nevertheless, the results are the same; the Apache will NOT start and the log says:
- Code: Select all
[Mon Nov 06 19:17:18 2006] [error] Can't load Perl file: C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/startup.pl for server localhost:80, exiting...
When I try to set up Apache via setup_xampp WITHOUT MOD_PERL, then Apache will start without problems.
I am really stuck now, as I also tried to modify the perl.conf and startup.pl files, without any change in behavior. So I guess the problem could be really very simple, with "something" not pointing out the "right thing". But what?
My ENVIRONMENT looks like:
- Code: Select all

My perl.conf is like:
- Code: Select all

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
PerlRequire "C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/startup.pl"
PerlModule Apache2::compat

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/modperlasp/">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler Apache::ASP
PerlSetVar Global .
PerlSetVar StateDir "C:/xampp/tmp"
</Directory>
And finally my startup.pl is like:
- Code: Select all
#!c:/xampp/perl/bin/perl.exe
#file:startup.pl
#---------------
# enable if the mod_perl 1.0 compatibility is needed
# use Apache2::compat ();
# preload all mp2 modules
# use ModPerl::MethodLookup;
# ModPerl::MethodLookup::preload_all_modules();
use ModPerl::Util (); #for CORE::GLOBAL::exit
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::RequestIO ();
use Apache2::RequestUtil ();
use Apache2::ServerRec ();
use Apache2::ServerUtil ();
use Apache2::Connection ();
use Apache2::Log ();
use Apache2::compat ();
use APR::Table ();
use ModPerl::PerlRun ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => ':common';
use APR::Const -compile => ':common';
use CGI ();
1;
I can't see what really could be wrong... But maybe somebody out there can give me a clue?
Thanks in advance for ANY input!
