Hi. I need some help with handlers.
I'm a linux newbie. I freshly installed RH 9. I built perl 5.8.0 from source. As non-root, I downloaded source for Apache 1.3.28 and mod_perl 1.28 and built them, using the instructions here http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#A_Summary_of_a_Basic_mod_perl_Installation I've also been using Stas' book, Practical Mod Perl, and the mod_perl developer's cookbook. The only change I made to the A_Summary_of_a_Basic_mod_perl_Installation was using SU to root for the make install for mod_perl. The resulting Apache runs fine. The resuling mod_perl runs cgi-scripts fine. At times I'm running two servers on the same box, one listening to port 80 and one listening to port 8080. I turned off the ssl piece of both servers, as they were colliding on port (I think) 443. I'm not sure if this 2 server issue or the turning ssl is relevant to my problem. Now I'm trying to write my first mod_perl handler: PerlModule Apache::HandlerTest <Location /handlertest> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::HandlerTest </Location> package Apache::HandlerTest; # File is called Apache/HandlerTest.pm # Path: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/HandlerTest.pm sub handler { my $r = shift; # Apache session object $r->content_type('text/html'); $r->send_http_header; $r->print( "Hello, world." ); } It dies with an Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request Here's the end of the log [Thu Jul 31 18:34:08 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] Can't locate object method "content_type" via package "Apache::RequestRec" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/HandlerTest.pm line 6.! [Thu Jul 31 18:34:08 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] File does not exist: /var/www/error As the problem seesm related to finding things, I tried making the handler simpler by using no functions sub handler { print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n"; print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html><body>Hello</body></html>"; return 200; } This didn't work either -- [Thu Jul 31 18:42:57 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] Can't locate object method "PRINT" via package "Apache::RequestRec" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/HandlerTest.pm line 13.! [Thu Jul 31 18:42:57 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] File does not exist: /var/www/error I guess the print is really a call to $r->print() (Practical Mod_perl p 238). This newcoming to mod-perl seeks any help on next steps. RKG __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
