Initializing CGI Object from $r
Can I initilize a new CGI object just by passing in a request from a
handler?
ie
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $CGIQuery = new CGI($r);
};
Re: mod_php mod_perl install with apache problems - same story :(
This is probably what you need more or less. You have to tell Apache what files are your mod perl scripts (or more specifically what files you want handled by Apache::Registry - the persistent cgi program module). Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/ PerlModule Apache::Registry Location /perl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On /Location http://perl.apache.org/guide/config.html is the configuration portion of a great guide by Stas Berkman that has this information in it. The O'Reilly book Building Apache Modules with Perl and C has some instructions about this as well. Recommened.

Well, I have seen a ton of people with this problem but no answers. I have mod_php compiled in with apache along with mod_ssl. I want to use apxs to build mod_perl. I have done this and apache starts fine, but it does not render the perl, for lack of better terms. It simply prints the source. The only directives i have in httpd.conf are LoadModule and DirectoryIndex. When I start apache, apachectl startssl, the eror log says: Apache/1.3.17 (Unix) mod_perl/1.25 PHP/4.04 mod_ssl/2.8.0 OpenSSL/0.9.6 configured -- resuming normal operations. This all looks fine. Anyone have any insight as to what my problem may be?

Probably off topic but 113 errors and Netcache
I've got a bunch of sites using cookies to authenticate and to pass some (crypted) hashes around. I've got one guy behind a "netcache" proxy server (his cable modem provider apparently routes everyone through it) gets a 113 error when trying to access one of my mod_perl scripts. I dont think this is a mod_perl problem at all, just something about the proxy (everyone else is doing ok, even people behind other proxies- however they are not in an http-accel mode proxying). I'm trying to find an answer on the web, but I keep getting all these server logs and error pages and such making narrowing the search alot harder. I have this horrible feeling this question is covered somewhere that I should now about :) but I cant seem to find it. Suggestions on a better place to ask this question are welcome. Here is the error message from an ie5.5 win2k browser, but the source shows a NetCACHeError as a commnet, which makes me almost certian its coming from the proxy ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: UNKNOWN URL PERSISTENT The following error was encountered: ERROR 113 -- The syntax for the URL you entered is not valid. This means that: You made a typing error or the URL you entered might not follow the rules for the syntax of URLs.

Re: Perl Sections, NameVirtualHost, and Aliases
This is working for me. I do some aliasing of mod_perl directories outside
of the perl section for stuff that all my hosts need to share so my httpd.conf
is not all perl, but I do have some aliasing going on.
There's some stuff there to pull my records out of a database but basically
the $Company hash_ref is for each company I host.
Perl
use Asql::utility;
use Apache::PerlSections();
my $statement = "select ID,Company,webhost,rootdir,master_user,domain,rt from
Companies where webhost is not NULL and master_user is not NULL";
my $dbh = connect_system_db();
my $sth = $dbh-prepare($statement)|| die "$DBI::errstr\n";
$sth-execute()|| die "$DBI::errstr\n";
my $counter = 0;
while ($Company = $sth-fetchrow_hashref()){
$$Company{ServerAdmin} = "$$Company{master_user}\@"."$$Company{domain}";
my $statement = "select Domain from domains where CompanyID=?";
my $sth2 = $dbh-prepare($statement)|| die "$DBI::errstr\n";
$sth2-execute($$Company{ID})|| die "$DBI::errstr\n";
my $othersites = $sth2-fetchall_arrayref;
@$othersites = map {$_="www.$_";} @$othersites;
#build the hosts
$VirtualHost{'192.168.0.50:80'}[$counter] = {
SSLDisable = '',
ServerName = "$$Company{webhost}",
DocumentRoot = "$$Company{rootdir}/public_html",
ErrorLog = "$$Company{rootdir}/log/error.log",
CustomLog = "$$Company{rootdir}/log/access.log combined",
ServerAdmin = "$$Company{ServerAdmin}",
CheckSpelling = 'on',
"ErrorDocument 404" = "/errors/404.shtml",
Alias = ["/webrt" = "/var/burgettsys/rt/lib/images"],
ScriptAlias = ["/rt" = "$$Company{rootdir}/rt/bin/cgi/"],
ServerAlias = $othersites,
};
$counter++;
};
#print STDERR Apache::PerlSections-dump();

Has anyone successfully built a fully perl conf file with multiple virtual
hosts on the same IP? I'm giving it my best, but just can't quite get it to
work. I'm stuck on aliases. The Eagle book and the mod_perl guide have
both been of great help getting this far, but I can't find an example of
setting anything where "Directive is Repeated Multiple Times" (which may be
an indication that it just don't work).
Not a direct answer, but an alternative to fighting with the data
structure is just just plug a programmatic $PerlConfig .= $string and
build the VirtualHosts as if they were plain text.
Not as elegant as doing this the hard way, but it's also easier to
explain if you have to hand the config file off to someone who knows
Apache but not Perl.

ecommendations for secured file and mod_perl
My basic problem is that I need for mod_perl scripts to get to a database password and an encryption key. I would like to be able to store these in a file not-readable by the apache user. I've got them out of the web tree already, but I would really like to make them inaccessable to the web-server user period. I'm really just looking for some thoughts as to how/where I could store these safely. Its only a couple strings. One idea I am starting to tinker with, and will, as soon as my isp gets the router rebooted :) If I have a module that gets loaded by my startup.pl script (with use myModule statement) is that happening as root?, or as the web-server user? This would be my specific question. I am thinking that having the module read the values from a config file and make them globals for the module. That seems like it should work. I understand that mod_perl couldn't be setuid'd since it runs as part of the apache process.Not sure how else to access files you don't want the web server user to read. Thats what I would have done before becoming moded (and now I can't seem to stand not having persistent db connections and that massive speed boost of Registry anymore). Any thoughts/links/etc would be useful. -- Wade Burgett Burgett Systems http://www.burgettsys.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
