MT 4 does not work out of the box even with mod_perl 1!

I tried it and after several tests I had a running system, but not 
everything was working.

It would be very good, it MT works with mod_perl, because in a good 
environment it eats less memory then FastCGI and can be very fast (when 
no slow SQL or an ORM wrapper with dozens of SQL queries is used ;-) ).



To get MT partly working with mod_perl 1:

use most modules in a startup.pl (including plugins!), to get them shared 
between all Apache processes. MT uses often "require" for loading them at 
runtime, which is really no good idea with mod_perl, because then their 
memory is not shared!

And in the httpd.conf (or better: an include file!) put the following:


<Perl>
  $ENV{MT_CONFIG} = '/path/to/mt/mt-config.cgi';
  eval "use MT::Bootstrap App => 'MT::App::CMS'";
</Perl>


There you also should define all the Apache Handlers and set the names of 
the scripts in mt-config.cgi.


I had some troubles and deactivated it. :(


Ciao
