NAME

mod_perl 2.0 Win32 Installation Instructions

Description

This document deals with installation specifics on Win32 platforms.

As described in the discussion of issues in multithreaded win32, a mod_perl 1.0 enabled server based on Apache 1.3 on Win32 is limited to a single thread serving a request at a time. This effectively prevents concurrent processing, which can have serious implications for busy sites. This problem is addressed in the multi-thread/multi-process approach of mod_perl 2.0/Apache 2.0. This document discusses how to obtain mod_perl 2.0.

Installing

Apache 2.0 and mod_perl 2.0 can be obtained in two ways - either as binaries, or through building from the sources. As with most packages of a more complex nature, it is best, when possible, to build things from the sources. However, this requires some experience with using Visual C++.
