I never succeeded. This website works fine with apache1.3.* and mod_perl. We run the UBB=20 bulletin board, which is written in perl. All the executable files are=20 named *.cgi. I googled and read document after document, waded through the apache=20 mod_perl site until my eyes were crossed, all to no avail. In apache20,=20 after configuring httpd.conf in what I thought was the right way, I got a=20 Forbidden error. Obviously, I checked perms (even made the 777 briefly),=20 but no go. In apache22, all I ever got was the plain text of the program=20 file. Does anyone know of a website that can unlock the mystery of mod_perl2 on=20 apache2? I figure sooner or later I'm going to have to move to apache2,=20 but I sure can't do that until I figure out how to get it working.
