Hello.
I'm trying to isolate the developper environment from each other so that
when someone mess up the server, the others just simply don't know that
something happened. So, every developpers will have their own webserver.
Since I want to be able to have potentially different copies of Perl
modules (like, say, two developpers are working on things that are in the
same modules), I can't simply load different virtual host for each
developpers : they have their own copy of Apache+mod_perl.
The way I've setup whole thing is like that : a script name restart is
called with some parameters telling him to reload one or all the
developpers environment, or the "testing" copy. This script would have some
environments variables called SITE_USER and SITE_USER_PORT that will give
me the value (read in a file defining the different users) of the username
(and by the same way the files path) and the port where the user should work.
My problem is that my envirnoment variables are not set. If I do a
Dumper(\%ENV), I only got values for the variables TZ, GATEWAY_INTERFACE,
MOD_PERL and PATH. (I do double-check that my variables where well setup).
I've read in the Eagle book that the environment is cleaned up on server
start, but I tought that I could read it in "raw" form in the perl
configuration...
The only way I still see to make it work is having my "restart" script
saving the current user/port in a file and letting the <perl> section read
it's configuration from there. But it look so patchy...
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks for any advice
