Means I''m not simply dismissing it, but that I haven''t made up my mind yet. If I can get mod_perl working and php3 recompiled to support the stuff I need, then it''ll be just fine. Is there any reference on compiling php3 with secure server as a DSO? Every time I try and compile stuff, it wants to build it into the server (which it can''t do). Any example on doing this would be good to add to the manual, as an appendix or something.> Also, PHP works fine.

I just guess I''ve been a little spoiled by OSS. :) Thanks, Hallow hallow@webmages.com

You have to use the apxs utility (which comes in secureweb-devel). But not directly; both programs have makefiles to do so. Your best bet for compiling is to look at the source RPMs that we shipped for both of these modules and see how we do it there. It is a bit of a convoluted process, but that is unfortunately because Apache doesn''t have a very good module design at the moment, and probably won''t until 2.0. There''s not a whole lot we can do about this situation, which is, I agree, unfortunate. --- Preston Brown Red Hat Software, Inc. pbrown@redhat.com

I''m having trouble getting the fastcgi module to compile. Where would I find the source for mod_perl? I installed the source from the secure server, and I''ve installed the lastest mod_perl RPMs but can''t find their source anywhere. -- Andy _________________________ Andrew R.
