Testing scenario for Strawberry 5.12
------------------------------------

should work with:
- any 32bit perl 5.12.x (Win32)
- any 32bit Apache 2.2.x (Win32)

successfully tested with:
- strawberry-perl-5.12.1.0-beta-1 (from http://strawberryperl.com/beta/)
- httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8m-r2.msi (from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/)
- both x86/32bit
- tested on Windows7 box

1/ Let us have strawberry perl installed in D:\strawberry512

2/ Install mod_perl binaries by the following command:
   pip http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/mod_perl/5.12_x86/mod_perl-2.0.4-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.12.par
   pip http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/mod_perl/5.12_x86/libapreq2-2.12-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.12.par

3/ Create directory D:\strawberry512\Apache

4/ Download the following files from http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/mod_perl/5.12_x86/ to D:\strawberry512\Apache\
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\mod_perl.so
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\mod_apreq2.so
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\libapreq2.dll
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\testweb\httpd.conf
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\testweb\docroot\index.html
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\testweb\scripts\hello1.pl
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\testweb\scripts\hello2.pl
   D:\strawberry512\Apache\testweb\scripts\hello3.pl

5/ If you have chosen different directory for strawberry installation - in step 1/ - fix paths in d:\strawberry512\apache\testweb\httpd.conf
   
6/ Let us have Apache installed in "c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2"

7/ From command prompt start manually a webserver at port 12345
   "c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe" -f d:\strawberry512\apache\testweb\httpd.conf
   
8/ Now the following links should work:
   http://localhost:12345/
   http://localhost:12345/perl/hello1.pl
   http://localhost:12345/perl/hello2.pl
   http://localhost:12345/perl/hello3.pl


Potential trouble makers
------------------------

*/ You are mixing 32/64bit binaries
Both strawberry perl and apache binaries has to be 32bit

*/ You are mixing perl 5.10 with mod_perl.so 5.12
make sure that you have downloaded the right mod_perl.so binary

*/ You have more perls in you PATH
Clean your PATH and remove all non strawberry perl directories

*/ You have not correctly set PATH for an account used for running Apache
If running apache as a Windows Service you need to set properly PATH for an 
account used for running corresponding service (by default SYSTEM)

*/ Something is already listening on port 12345 used in our example
Edit d:\strawberry512\apache\testweb\httpd.conf and choose another port
