After research and so moore i cant make that apache run perl !!!! i sick of it !!!
If i autorize access to /perl.conf in the httpd.conf the apache says (for install service):
invalid service name ... see NET HELPMSG 2185


so i reconfigure the httpd.conf and instaled apache (after tons of research) now i put back the perl.conf and apache dont start... i loked at erros.log & realized that apache dont find startup.pl i research (again) & finally was here claming for some HELP, PLEASE !!!

some ideas ??? i really need perl

I running a xp pro with xampp 1.4.6 (just actualized) and it stil wont work... the only thing that crash my apache is the perl.conf file ... i tested it
The install dir is E:/server/xampp/

My perl.conf file:

Code: Select all

LoadFile "E:/server/xampp/perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

PerlRequire "E:/server/xampp/apache/conf/startup.pl"

I am also running WinXP Pro with XAMPP 1.4.6 and the PERL 1.4.5 Add On.
It doesn't work for me either, I suggest reverting to XAMPP 1.4.5 and trying that.

My previous working configuration was 1.4.2 (upgraded to 1.4.3, then 1.4.4, then 1.4.5 + the PERL 5.8.3 add on). I hadn't tested it extensively, but at least it did load up.

BTW: if you just tried to run perl on the startup.pl script, I saw a problem there (not being able to find a library), but I didn't diagnose it further.

how can i start without startup.pl ???

this is the exact error on apache!!!
