This might be a little off-topic, but perhaps someone has
dealt with this here. I'm still trying to get the new
proxified apache mod_perl set up to work.
First, since I have perl scripts in various places, I changed
this:
IfDefine PERLPROXIED
ProxyPass /perl/ http://127.0.0.1:8200/
ProxyPassReverse /perl/ http://127.0.0.1:8200/
/IfDefine
to this:
IfDefine PERLPROXIED
Rewrite on
RewriteRule ^(.*\.pl)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200/$1 [P]
ProxyPassReverse /perl/ http://127.0.0.1:8200/
/IfDefine
The problem with that approach is that it forwards all perl scripts to
mod_perl, which can be a bad thing, because most scripts are not designed
for it.
That's why the mod_perl people put the scripts in /perl, so only well
behaved scripts get run with mod_perl.
I haven't tried that out, but I assume it would work fine for serving
a single domain, but I have several name-based virtual hosts. With the
configuration above, the proxy server wouldn't know which virtual host
was supposed to be responding. I started doing some more complicated
rewrite rules that would call the proxy server with the name of the
virtual server, but I wasn't sure if I was on the right track with
that.
Maybe we could do:
IfDefine PERLPROXIED
ProxyPass /perl/ http://$1:8200/
ProxyPassReverse /perl/ http://$1:8200/
/IfDefine
And have both httpd.conf and httpd-perl.conf have the same
"Include conf/vhosts/DynamicVhosts.conf" directive so you don't have to
duplicate all your settings.
It's just a suggestion, not tested.
I've got this setup working now. I have a separate rewrite rule in each
of the virtual host sections. The trick to getting the proxy server to
know which virtual host it is serving is to preserve the host info in
the port, i.e., each virtual host gets it's own port. Below is the
configuration that I am using. For virtual host 1, I send the proxy
requests to port 8201. For vh 2, I use 8202, etc. I send all perl
scripts to the apache-mod_perl, though, of course, the rewrite rules
can be changed to just do perl scripts in a specific directory.
