questions on $r-lookup_uri
1 - Why was no documentation for this method found in the manpage for Apache::Request? Where should I have looked for docs on this? 2 - I did manage to find some docs for this in Ch. 4 of the Stein/Maceachern book, but am wondering why lookup_uri() goes through all phases of request processing up to but not including the content handler. It would seem that looking up a URI would only need to go through the URI translation phase of the subrequest to lookup a URI.

1 - Why was no documentation for this method found in the manpage for Apache::Request? Where should I have looked for docs on this? perldoc Apache There are some Apache API docs on ap_sub_req_lookup_uri here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/API.html#req_orig Though they may not help much in your situation, as they indicate that each sub-request function constructs a new request_rec structure and processes it as you would expect. :) 2 - I did manage to find some docs for this in Ch. 4 of the Stein/Maceachern book, but am wondering why lookup_uri() goes through all phases of request processing up to but not including the content handler. It would seem that looking up a URI would only need to go through the URI translation phase of the subrequest to lookup a URI. From 'perldoc Apache': Apache provides a sub-request mechanism to lookup a uri or filename, performing all access checks, etc., without actually running the response phase of the given request. So presumably it is important that sub-requests get run through standard authentication/authorization/access checks for that particular URI. Among other things. bye, Ben
Perl/Apache question
I sincerely appologize if this question is in the wrong mailing list. But I'm not really sure where it belongs. I installed Demarc and Snort. Demarc is a Perl script, which does work when executed from the console. But when hit from the web, it just returns the source code. How do I configure Apache so it executes the Perl script instead of sending the contents of the script? _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

The easiest way will be something like: AddHandler perl-script .pl PerlHandler +Apache::Registry or some modification hereof. You may need more, depending on your current configuration. Check the guide: http://perl.apache.org/guide for all information you need. Bye, Remco

httpd.conf - random caching (2nd try)
im a bit confused or perhaps bewildered about finally having installed
mod_perl on mac osX.
these questions should apply cross platform
1)
yesterday im quite sure my httpd.conf file was /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.
today (after having played around) it suddenly appears to be /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
can this be?
and can i actually tell the server somehow to use the one in
/usr/local/apache/conf where the other conf files are.
the only reason i discovered this was because i wanted to change the
number of child processes to only one. which brings me to:
2)
im experiencing some heavy modoule-caching annoyance i guess. if i run the
simple hello.pm (see below) and make a very small change - the change
might take effect immediately in the browser but more frequently it will
show a random cached version of the page.
(i noticed a pattern in my access_log that the very last number-field on
each line would be the same if the page didnt change)
i have read a little about this problem in the online manual and the
writing apache modules book, but dont understand the soloution(s).
for instance what is the exact procedure for httpd -x?
is it like this command:
[localhost:/usr/local/apache/sbin] aju% httpd -x
this command will do nothing on my system, not even complain.
if i manually configure my httpd.conf file to only one server-child i
sometimes get two children?
also there are some talk about global variables, but looking at the code
i dont see any?
could there be other reeasons for this random caching?
thanks
allan
--hello.pm (from writing apache modules book)-
package Apache::Hello;
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
$r-content_type('text/html');
$r-send_http_header;
return OK if $r-header_only;
my $host = $r-get_remote_host;
$r-print(END);
HTML
HEADER
TITLEHello There/TITLE
/HEADER
BODY
H1Hello $host/H1
Who would take this book seriously if the first example didn't
say hello world?
/BODY
/HTML
END
return OK;
}

Re: server log oddness
was there ever a response to this message? i don't recall one, but i may have missed it. thanks.
