=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.2 2008/07/22 21:41:55 rhaen Exp $ In order to use HTML::Mason with mod_perl and Apache you have to create the "data directory" (aka data_dir), which is used by Mason for various features and optimizations, and change your web server configuration accordingly. The data directory must be writable by the user account specified for the Apache process in your httpd.conf file. As an example, if you use "/var/mason" as your data directory you have to add the following line to httpd.conf: PerlSetVar MasonDataDir /var/mason For more details, have a look at the "Mason Administrator's Manual" at http://www.masonhq.com/. It's also possible to use HTML::Mason with lighttpd and FastCGI. There is a recipe for it in the Trac system of lighttpd.
