Looking for help installing scoop! Boxes

I tried to install scoop using the script with no luck. I also tried a manual install. But ran into road blocks in both directions. Is there some more detailed installation help available? I am trying to install it on Windows 2000. Have not really gotten mod_perl to work yet.

I didn't know such a thing was possible, but if it is I would say that the script won't do it. Unless you have a compiler you will probably need to track down an apache binary with mod perl already compiled in (I'm assuming you are going to use apache, IIS would just be way scary).

YOu have the advantage with 2000 that the new perl/mysql/apache etc that scoop tries to install won't clober anything in your existing instalation.

Because you're on windows, the installer might not be able to get everything working correctly. What you should do is follow the detailed instructions in the INSTALL file budled with scoop, and do the manual install. Things should work out better. Post problems you have here, or join #scoop on irc.slashnet.org, if you irc. Generally there is someone around who can help.

To get scoop running on windows, you'll need to have visual c++ (version: something) to compile apache with mod_perl. There is a package that has a version of apache+mod_perl already compiled, and it should be linked off the apache mperl page somewhere. You won't be able to use any of the included scoop scripts, so you'll have to install modules by hand (with activestate's ppm packages). It's not difficult, but it requires reasonable knowledge of activestate's perl, apache, and mod_perl, but i've done it several times and have it currently set up on win2k (with the precompiled version of apache) and it works fine enough. There are some quirks but nothing you can't work around.

But the included scoop documentation really isn't going to help you much, the only thing you'll need it for is the apache config setup and somewhere there's a list of modules you need.
