This chapter contains basic information on how to configure software that can provide extra functionality to the Red Hat Linux Apache/SSL Server. Please note that instructions are provided here for mod_perl, PHP and Squid, which are not provided with the Red Hat Linux Apache/SSL Server. However, mod_perl, PHP, and Squid are included in Red Hat Linux 6.1.

Configuring Apache-ASP

To enable Apache-ASP, you'll need to first make sure that the packages perl_Apache_ASP, perl-Devel-Symdump, perl-HTML-Parser, perl-MIME, perl-MLDBM, perl-URI, perl-libnet and perl-libwww (all included with Red Hat Linux Apache/SSL Server) are all installed. You'll also need to have the mod_perl package (provided with Red Hat Linux) installed.

Once the mod_perl package is installed, the mod_perl module needs to be loaded in to Apache. For instructions on how to add mod_perl, see the section called Configuring mod_perl. After the mod_perl module is loaded into Apache, edit your httpd.conf file. Near the end of the file, you'll need to uncomment three lines (remove the "#") so that they look like the following:

<IfModule mod_perl.c>
  Include /etc/httpd/conf/asp.conf
<IfModule>

Now you can customize your ASP configuration file, and then stop and start your Web server, as described in the section called Starting and Stopping Your Server in Chapter 4. Apache-ASP should now serve pages out of the /asp directory.
