Movable Type Under Mod_perl?

[rklau]

Hi -

 

I've read that running Movable Type under mod_perl is dramatically faster than running the cgi scripts directly. The instructions for doing this are here. In order to do this, it looks like I need to modify httpd.conf - which I'm not sure whether I can do or not.

 

Is this possible with a shared hosting account?

Hi Rick.

 

You can't do those modifications yourself - as you said, this is shared hosting, which means that every account on each server shares that server's configuration and so it would not be wise to let one client mess with the whole server configuration because it could cause problems to other clients.

 

Still, you can ask if the admins can install this for you. For that end, you should open a help desk ticket, which is the faster way to get the process going.
