[Zope] Apache: mod_perl, mod_rewrite, prefix

[Hung Jung Lu]

Hi,

Although this is more an Apache question, I would guess that a lot of Zope 
users have gone through exactly the same problem I am going through, so I 
might as well try it out here.

As you can probably tell, I am trying to hook up Zope and Apache via PCGI. 
The thing is, I need also mod_perl, and my Apache root prefix is 
non-standard (not /usr/local/apache). I want to build Apache from source 
such that

(1) I have mod_rewrite statically
(2) I have mod_perl statically
(3) prefix is /usr/mydir

Now, those are three requirements, and things got too complicated. I  know 
how to do (1) and (2) together, I know how to do (1) and (3) together, but I 
still fail to do (1)(2)(3) all together. Anyone cares to share their 
experience? I want a final httpd executable, so that I can simply copy and 
replace my current copy of apache.

I have read:

  http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html

but I am still a bit confused.

Thanks,

Hung Jung

PS- I think mod_perl is an example of big failure when it comes to 
installation, since it tries to control and override the apache installation 
process. What a mess! In comparison Zope product installations are as easy 
as drag and drop.
