I've been trying different routes in order to get HTML::Mason scripts to work....but the scripts come up as plain text in the browser

I have mod_perl and HTML::Mason loaded and Apache httpd-2.2.3
here is my what is added in my httpd.conf
LoadModule perl_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so

PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
<Location /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/mason>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</Location>




1) are you sure, you installed mod_perl2 (two!) - otherwise
you have to enable 1.0 compatibility use Apache::compat ();
2) what extension did you use for Mason (top-) files (.htm?)
3) what did you tell apache2 about this extension (DirectoryIndex?)

What receipt did you follow this one?

Thanx for your reply Mirco,

Ok I followed the link you provided and followed their steps to install the mod_perl apache server

panic% perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.xx/src \
DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1
panic% make && make test
panic# make install
panic# cd ../apache_1.3.xx
panic# make install

using mod_perl-1.29 and apache_1.3.37

appearently everything went fine, fired up the server with /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start using 127.0.0.1 is my server address but now i get the error unable to connect in the browser

how do i begin to figure out whats going wrong?

thank u

Adam

I am sorry I had the port set to 8080 not 80 in the httpd.conf, server runs now, however now that iam up and running i tried adding:

PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler

<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</Location>

to my httpd.conf in order to process mason scripts on the server, now i get an internal server error message when trying to access any pages.

is something wrong with my perl or perl modules? how to I troubleshoot this?

Adam
sorry I forgot to include the error log
