I'm setting up a simple two server setup with mod_perl. I've tested static documents, and they work fine. The ones I have a rewrite rule for are served by the front end, and the ones not in the rule by the backend. The problem comes when I run perl scripts (via Apache::Registry). I tested these scripts by directly connecting to the the backend, and they work fine. I even wrote a simple hello world script. It works fine on the backend, but when run on the front end, it's blank. The other more full featured scripts give me:
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /bin/brochure.pl.
Reason: Document contains no data
I suspect this has to do with the headers. When I add:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" to the simple test script, it runs, but is displayed as if it were plaintext.
My setup:
One server is just a mod_proxy/mod_rewrite setup to handle static content, and it's virtual host setting is this:
<VirtualHost test.testserver.com:80> ServerName test.testserver.com DocumentRoot /home/testserver/www TransferLog /usr/local/proxy-apache/logs/testserver_access_log ErrorLog /usr/local/proxy-apache/logs/testserver_error_log
<Directory "/usr/testserver/www">
Options MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>RewriteLog "/tmp/rewrite.log" RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png|txt|html)$ - [L] RewriteRule ^/bin/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080/bin/$1 [P,L] ProxyPassReverse / http://test.testserver.com:8080/bin ProxyPassReverse /bin http://127.0.0.1:8080/bin
</VirtualHost> ProxyIOBufferSize 131072 ProxyReceiveBufferSize 0
And then the mod_perl enabled server is set up this way:
Listen 8080 ...
NameVirtualHost *:8080 ...
<VirtualHost *:8080> ServerName test.testserver.com DocumentRoot /home/testserver/www CustomLog /usr/local/perl-apache/logs/testserver-access_log assa ErrorLog /usr/local/perl-apache/logs/testserver-error_log
<Directory "/home/testserver/www">

</Directory>
<Directory "/home/testserver/www/bin">
Options ExecCGI MultiViews
</Directory>
# Make sure we're being hit at www address so # cookies work. We also allow 127.0.0.1 for use # by the front-end proxies. RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.testserver\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^127\.0\.0\.1 [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://test.testserver.com/$1 [L,R=permanent]

</VirtualHost>
What obvious thing am I doing wrong? It must be a simple change to get it to work, I suspect, as are most problems that take a long time to figure out! ;)
thank you in advance for any help!
