Re: Working directory of script is / !
Don't mess with the cooker, try using a subclass, e.g.:
# ModPerl/RegistryPrefork.pm
package ModPerl::RegistryPrefork;
use strict;
use warnings FATAL = 'all';
our $VERSION = '0.01';
use base qw(ModPerl::Registry);
use File::Basename ();
sub handler : method {
my $class = (@_ = 2) ? shift : __PACKAGE__;
my $r = shift;
return $class-new($r)-default_handler();
}
sub chdir_file {
use File::Basename();
my $file = @_ == 2 ? $_[1] : $_[0]-{FILENAME};
my $dir = File::Basename::dirname($file);
chdir $dir or die Can't chdir to $dir: $!;
}
1;
I copied this into a new file RegistryPrefork.pm in the same
directory as the ModPerl Registry.pm in the perl tree, and changed the
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
line in startup.pl to
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::RegistryPrefork
and restored the RegistryCooker.pm file to its original contents. I
also removed the Apache::RequestRec::chdir_file definition in my
startup.pl
This seems to work OK. Hopefully I should now be able to remove the
mod_perl 1's Registry.pm file.
Thanks everyone.

PerlTransHandler headaches
Hello,
While I am not new to Perl, I am completely new to mod_perl. I have
a client I am working on moving a project that runs under mod_perl.
He does alot manipulation with the PerlTransHandler stuff. Well,
even on a default mod_perl install, with a default Apache install, I
can not get the darn thing to work for the life of me. Here is the
simple script I am using to test with:
use Apache::Constants qw|OK DECLINED REDIRECT M_GET|;
use strict;
use warnings;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
return OK;
}
1;
And not matter what I always get a 404 with the following in the log:
[Tue Jul 29 03:27:27 2003] [error] [client 10.0.0.1] File does not
exist: /
Any suggestions on where to start looking? The original coder of the
project has left the client and is nowhere to be found, fun fun .. ;-)

the translation phase is there to map the URI to a filename. by returning
OK, you're telling Apache that you've done the translation (that is, you
have set $r-filename to something useful). since you didn't set
$r-filename, apache is returning 404, since it can't serve the value of
$r-filename.
so, the general rule for PerlTransHandlers is to return DECLINED unless you
set $r-filename.
chapter 12 in the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook deals specifically with the
PerlTransHandler and is as good a place to start learning as any.

make sure the request works without the PerlTransHandler installed first.
if it does, then adding that routine should be ok.
don't forget, you can't just change handlers and expect them to work -
because the code is loaded the first time it's seen and not on every
request, you either need to install Apache::StatINC, Apache::Reload, set
PerlFreshRestart On and restart the server or (simplest) fully shutdown and
startup the server.

mod_perl and mod_fastcgi conflict
I am having problems running both mod_perl and mod_fastcgi. I am using Apache::PageKit, which requires mod_perl, and Zope, which works best with FastCGI, for two different web sites. The build goes just fine, Apache doesn't so much as utter a peep of complaint, but when I try to get a web page, it seems Apache isn't serving content correctly. In Mozilla, accessing any web page results in a recursive page reload until Mozilla finally dies with a document contains no data message. Has anyone had success (or failure) installing both mod_perl and mod_fastcgi on the same instance? Is this a known problem? I would be happy to provide more detail if it would be helpful.

need your help to test mod_perl with perl-5.8.1-RC3
Jarkko has just released perl-5.8.1-RC3. Quite a few things have changed since 5.8.0. So it's *very* important that you test your code with this release and immediatelly report to p5p if you have any problems, since Jarkko wants to release 5.8.1 any moment now. Any version of mod_perl 1.x works with perl-5.8.1-RC3. However for mod_perl 2.0 you must use the current cvs version. mod_perl 1.99_09 and earlier releases won't work with perl-5.8.1-RC3. You can get it from here: http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution If you can test your favorite CPAN modules with this perl release you will do yourself and others a big favor if you discover some bugs and get them fixed before 5.8.1 sees the light.

So it's *very* important that you test your code with this release and immediatelly report to p5p if you have any problems, since Jarkko wants to release 5.8.1 any moment now. Iniital report: I just finished a build with ithreads and worker mpm. All perl and mod_perl tests pass. The only problem so far is the ithreads mod_perl takes three glacial eons to start issue. You brought that up on modperl-dev a few days ago but I haven't had a chance to rebuild everything with ithreads until now. Did you ever hear anything from Arthur? Anyway, now I'm off to load some production code into it and see how it fares. - -- Stephen Clouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Programmer/DBE, Core Technology Developer The IQ Group, Inc. http://www.theiqgroup.com/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/KF+bA4aoazQ9p2cRAqxdAJ9T/BOqg4jNo25vay1PzIRe+hM8jgCgwbI9 dmGE6oAn+TRiL+ZYRfsKzhY= =HsN4 -END PGP SIGNATURE-

That and Lincoln Stein wrote a tpj article: Safely Empowering Your CGI Scripts back in Summer 1998: http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol3_2/tpj0302-0006.html Of course you will probably want to use a more modern library to do the job, e.g. IPC::Run.
