RE: Apache 2.0.54+Perl5.8.7+mod_perl2.0.1 (win32) - Redirection problem

[Saurabh Soni]

Hi Randy/other experts, I managed to fix the redirection problem. Following is a part of, what I think, the offending script and its correction. The server seems to be working fine now. I was changing the value of “location” when creating header of the page in case of a redirect. This worked fine in Apache 1.3. I have now explicitly used redirect call to redirect to another page in 2.0.   print $self->header(%HEADER, -location => self->{page_redirect});   Replaced by   print CGI::redirect(%HEADER, -location=> $self->{page_redirect});   Thanks for your help and support Regards, Saurabh   -----Original Message----- From: Randy Kobes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 2:51 AM To: Saurabh Soni Cc: modperl@perl.apache.org Subject: Re: Apache 2.0.54+Perl5.8.7+mod_perl2.0.1 (win32) - Redirection problem   On Tue, 11 Oct 2005, Saurabh Soni wrote:   > Hi, >  > I have a perl web-application on apache that needed upgrades for perl, > apache and mod_perl.

I tried the following script: ======================================================== #!D:/Perl/bin/perl # called as http://localhost/perl/redirect use strict; use CGI qw(redirect); print redirect('http://localhost/perl/printenv'); ======================================================== run under ModPerl::Registry, and it worked fine. This is with CGI.pm version 3.10.   -- best regards, randy kobes   Any unauthorized copying, disclosure or distribution of the material in this e-mail is strictly forbidden. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
