KwikiModPerl


Apache's mod_perl makes Perl applications run much faster and scale well to heavy usage. Using Kwiki with mod_perl is a piece of cake.

First you need is an Apache server built with mod_perl support. See http://perl.apache.org for more information.

Then install a Kwiki site following the normal KwikiInstallation procedures.

Finally add something like this to your Apache configuration:

Alias /kwiki/ /home/ingy/kwiki/ <Directory /home/ingy/kwiki/> Order allow,deny Allow from all AllowOverride None Options None SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler CGI::Kwiki </Directory> <Directory /home/ingy/kwiki/css/> Order allow,deny Allow from all AllowOverride None Options None SetHandler none </Directory> <Directory /home/ingy/kwiki/javascript/> Order allow,deny Allow from all AllowOverride None Options None SetHandler none </Directory>

That's it! You'll get an instant performance boost.

You can switch from the standard CGI installation to mod_perl anytime you want.
