I think I fixed the problem, with direction and help from Fred. It was a
permission-problem.
What I did to make things play, was to enable cgi- and actions-modules
in apache (actions.load was apparently needed).
Copied hls.conf and hls.passwd to /etc/apache2/conf-available and make
symlinks to ../conf-enabled (yes, I could have just put them in
conf-enabled directly).
Copied hls_methods.pl to the cgi-bin-directory. Default in Debian is
/usr/lib/cgi-bin).
Created a directory in the webroot where the files will be created by
Glasscoder. In Debian, the default webroot is /var/www/html. In my case
I created a directory called hls.
Modified hls.conf so the <Directory>-directive pointed to that
directory. Also modified the AuthUserFile in hls.conf to point to the
hls.passwd-file I previously copied.
Added a user and password to the hls.passwd-file with "$ htpasswd
/etc/apache2/conf-available/hls.passwd <username>" and entered a password.
Made /var/www/html/hls accessible and writeable by the apache2-user
(www-data).
Reloaded apache2-configuration with "$ service apache2 reload", and
voila. In GlassCoder, you set server-url to point to a masterfile in the
created directory under webroot (in my case
http://localhost/hls/listen.m3u8), and username/password to match what
you added in hls.passwd. If everything went well, GlassCoder will create
listen.m3u8 and associated files in localhost/hls/.
If I missed or forgot to add something, let me know. :)

Hi,
Has anyone had success using Glasscoder to stream HLS?
I'm pretty much faceplanting trying to get this to work.
I've copied the hls.*-files to /etc/apache2/conf-enabled and
hls_methods.pl to /usr/lib/cgi-bin. I've added an entry in hls.passwd
with htpasswd and changed the paths in hls.conf to match AuthUserFile
and added actions.load to the mods-enabled/-directory so Apache2 loads
this module. cgi is also loaded and defined. The directory
/var/www/html/hls has also been created as defined in hls.conf
I'm getting both "method not allowed" and "internal server error" in
Glasscoder and apache2 errorlog.
Using Debian Stable and Glasscoder 0.9.21.
