I followed the instructions at http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/deployment/apache_fastcgi_win32 But when I try to run the app, I get these errors: First, have you tried running the code in question without FastCGI (e.g. from the command line) to eliminate obvious things like missing modules and syntax errors? Those can present symptoms similar to those you mention, with FastCGI masking the real error. Also double check the version of mod_fastcgi you are using. Make absolutely sure you are using the most recent snapshot version of mod_fastcgi.

No problems on ActivePerl 5.10, perhaps someone at AS botched the creation of the 5.8 package? ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

[Catalyst] Re: Incorrect $c-req-base using Catalyst::Engine::SCGI on Win32
2009/6/28 Orlando Vazquez ovazq...@gmail.com:
Ok, just to make sure I understand the root cause of this problem:
apache...@win32 sets SCRIPT_NAME to /action (or whatever PATH_INFO
is), when it should really be something like , / or undef, is this
correct? I assume this only happens when the application is mounted
under /, and it does do the right this when mounted under say,
something like /myapp?
That's correct, the problem only happens when mounted at / - things
behave as expected when mounted elsewhere.
I'm the one who was responsible for removing the prepare_path method
from the SCGI engine. I did this because it was overriding with an
outdated verbatim copy of the prepare_path method in C::E::CGI, which
::SCGI inherits from. Hmmm, ::FastCGI seems to include its own
additional path fixes :\ Does it make sense to unify these tweaks in
one place?
Almost certainly, although if you are in agreement I'd settle for
getting it working within C::E::SCGI in the first instance and
worrying about that later when I have some more time ;)
Do you know if this problem manifests itself under the same webserver
but different Catalyst engine?
Without having tested extensively, I think it's SCGI specific - I
don't see the problem with the CGI engine, at least.
I appreciate the suggested fix but I don't think it's quite safe, as
it would break something like /tags/tags where your app is mounted
under /tags and you're calling the /tags action (you know, for
whatever reason).
But at the end of the day we have to get this to
work well for you, so I'm not thrilled about but also not opposed to
escaping this behaviour for this particular webserver since I know
there's a few different servers that get it wrong.
Could you check out how C::E::FastCGI::_fix_env for how to escape this
for your particular webserver platform + version, and patch/commit a
unittest+fix? I don't have a windows machine handy to test this
appropriately, but you could probably fix this in a couple of minutes.
Good point, I'd not thought of the /tags/tags scenario.
Having played around with this a little more it looks as though when
things are working properly, REQUEST_URI is the same as SCRIPT_NAME
concatenated with PATH_INFO. With that in mind, perhaps revising the
suggested fix to something like this:
sub prepare_path { # or _fix_env?
my( $self, $c ) = @_;
my $env = $self-env;
my $path_info = $env-{PATH_INFO} || '';
my $script_name = $env-{SCRIPT_NAME} || '';
my $request_uri = $env-{REQUEST_URI} || '';
unless( $request_uri eq $script_name . $path_info ) {
delete $env-{SCRIPT_NAME};
}
return $self-next::method( $c );
}
To be absolutely safe we could limit it to just this OS/web server as
you suggest:
if( $^O eq 'MSWin32' $env-{SERVER_SOFTWARE} =~ m{^Apache/2\.0\.63} ) {
...
}
Let me know your thoughts on the above and I'll get to work on it.
P.S.
I got your doc bug report - it's been fixed and pushed up to the
Catalyst git repo :)
Thanks :)

Re: [Catalyst] Test::WWW:Mechanize::Catalyst
2009/1/26 kirk beers kgb...@gmail.com:
Hi folks,
I am fairly new to Catalyst and Perl (conformed Java programmer), I was
wondering if anyone could help me with and issue with
WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst::Test
specifically :
$mech-content_contains($str,[,$desc]);
I have added a wrapper.tt and set it in my view/HTML.pm. This wrapper
contains access to my common files .css and images with the following tag [%
content %]. Next I have a message.tt which is accessed from my controller
subroutines by:
$c-stash-{message} = 'Something went wrong!';
$c-stash-{template} = 'message.tt';
When I use the $mech-content_contains('There was missing info or the
passwords did not match!','Test for missing username to add user');
I get the following error stating it can't find the message text.
not ok 12 - Test for missing username to add user
# Failed test 'Test for missing username to add user'
# at t/controller_Admin-User.t line 25.
# searched: !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
# can't find: There was missing info or the passwords did not ma...
1..12
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 12.
That means the string you are searching for isn't present in the
response body. I suspect you're either getting something different
back than you expected (e.g. an error page) or the string you have
supplied in the test doesn't match exactly with the error you're
generating in the HTML (e.g. a typo).
Dumping out the results of $mech-content to see what exactly output
you produced should pinpoint the problem.

Loosely based on Addressbook, it seems that the variable Catalyst in

Catalyst.uri_for('/login')
returning ''.
Does anyone have any pointers on debugging this?
And if in doubt, just use some warn statements or $c-log-debug calls
