Build Your Own Mac OS X Apache/mod_perl Server

Posted by pudge on from the apachesezwut dept.

Kathryn writes "An article by David Wheleer on O'Reilly's MacDev Center, Build Your Own Apache Server with mod_perl, covers issues to consider as you begin working with Apple's Apache install -- key information for any serious mod_perl-based Web development work on Mac OS X."

  1. mod_perl DSO unstable? by red5 · · Score: 5, Informative

    The documentation is written under the false assumption that mod_perl as a DSO is unstable. I have been using mod_perl as a DSO for some time now and it works fine for me. I've herd of issues with it one Solaris/x86 but thats about it. IMHO all 3rd party modules should be compiled as DSOs.

    Also the article fails to mention the advantages of running a local proxy with the mod_proxy_add_forward module.

    Step one: Open the control panel
    Step two: Turn on Personal Web Sharing
    Step three: There's no step three! There's no step three!

    Apache & mod_perl are preinstalled in OS X. Sure, there are things you can do to tweak them, but you're given a hell of a head start by Apple...
