On MT and mod_perl 2
I just commented on a post by a user trying to run MT under Apache 2 and mod_perl that was looking for options.
The bottomline is that you can’t run MT under mod_perl on an Apache 2 web server. I also doubt there ever will be without significant changes in the space.
Movable Type mod_perl support was added before FastCGI came (back?) into vogue and also before the mod_perl team blew it (IMHO and others) by totally changing the API in ways the were not backwards compatible. With FastCGI gaining popularity and attention in addition to being easier to install/maintain and supporting more then just one language (Perl), I don’t see there being enough demand to justify the effort at this point.
While MT has been known to run on Apache 1.3 and mod_perl I wouldn’t recommend it and would suggest FastCGI for consideration. In my extensive experience with MT I’ve know of two companies that have run MT via mod_perl and one of them recently switched to FastCGI.
