In order to run the load balancing module in Apache in conjunction with a mongrel cluster a newer version of Apache is required then is available in the standard repositories.
I have created some deb packages which work for me which might be of use to others.
IMPORTANT!!! I am NOT using PHP or PERL so I have NOT created matching packages for these modules - you are on your own there.
In order to satisfy dependencies for the apt mechanism I have created a dummy PHP deb package which keeps apt happy.
- libapache2-mod-php ( dummy !!)
