issue a request from the command line and look at the saved response. 
Use lwp's GET, or 'lynx -dump' or any other favorite downloading utility.

It's not just about ease of getting started, it's about ease of
maintenance over time.  debian makes it very easy to keep your software up
to date (though you shouldn't even think about letting debian's package
configuration mess with your httpd.conf once you get going)

Also, if you want to install any debian package that depends on apache,
then debian is going to want a debian apache installation, and you have to
start jumping through hoops to keep it happy, or installing all the other
packages from source, which then also lose out on debian's tools for
keeping them up to date.

I agree with Andrew - getting Apache, Mod_SSL, PHP4 and mod_perl

doddle with Debian packaging. Especially in view of the volume of

Re: Configuring mod_perl on Debian

2002-05-27 Thread Andrew McNaughton


My guess is that some error message is terminating your headers before the
content-type is sent.  stdout and stderr get buffered independently so the
stderr can come out of your script first, even if it's generated later in
your code.

* Set $|=1; as the first thing you do in your test script, immediately
followed by your content-type header.  This turns of buffering of your IO
streams.

* look at what's in your error logs, though this might not be much until
you set $|.

* Don't use your browser to test what's going on. go lower level.  If
you're not comfortable doing this with telnet, use `lynx -mime_header` or
`Get -Se`, although be aware that both of these can mung the output a
little, as does apache.

I've gotten debian's mod_perl running on multiple machines under both
potato and woody.

You miss most of the advantage of debian's package management if you start
building core components independently.  Debian looks after you pretty
well, but it's a bit of an all or nothing affair.  ie it's worth a little
effort to stick with the debian packages if you can.

RE: Configuring mod_perl on Debian

2002-05-27 Thread Joe Yates

Dear Ian,

I think we may looking for the problem in the wrong place.

The fact that the browser offers to save something means that it is 
receiving a response from the server, and that it is not interpreting said 
response as HTML text.

You are not actually outputting any '', '', or '' tags. 
If you add them, your browser is more likely to recognise the response as HTML.

Eric,

Here is what I have:

dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep '^i'
ii  apache-common  1.3.24-3   Support files for all Apache 
webservers
ii  apache-perl1.3.24-2-1.26- Versatile, high-performance HTTP

Not sure where our configurations are different (I note you do not have 
apache-perl installed), but after I installed apache-perl, I had to 
copy /etc/apache/httpd.conf to /etc/apache-perl/httpd.conf, and make 
quite a few changes by hand.

This is the content of test.pl

BEGIN-SCRIPT
--
#!/usr/bin/perl

# your httpd.conf should have something like this:

# Alias /perl/  /real/path/to/perl-scripts/

# 
# SetHandler  perl-script
# PerlHandler Apache::Registry
# PerlSendHeader On
# Options +ExecCGI
# 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "Date: ", scalar localtime, "\n";

print "%ENV: \n", map { "$_ = $ENV{$_} \n" } keys %ENV;
--
END-SCRIPT

Based on this, I would expect the content to be set to text/html and 
the page to be displayed to be a listing of the current environment.

Galeon identifies the content type as application/x-perl.  This would 
seem to indicate to me that Apache is serving the script directly 
instead of executing the script and serving the output.  According to 
the mod_perl Guide, the ExecCGI option (which I have set for Location 
/perl) is supposed to avoid this situation.


Thanx,
Ian

p.s. you shouldn't ever set a cgi directory to be world-writable (777).

Sounds to me like you're not setting your content-type correctly for some
reason.  Have a look at the headers being sent out.  It's either not
sending this header, or it's sending something the browser doesn't know
what to do with.

Tried all of those.  Still no good.

I've downloaded the source for both Apache and mod_perl, and will be 
building from scratch.  If that works, that I well chock it up to a 
debian packaging/configuration issue.


Thanx for the feedback,
Ian

maybe you can try a "chmod 755" in the script...and check the perl path in first line 
of the script...and set the directory permission to 777

Configuring mod_perl on Debian

2002-05-26 Thread Ian D. Stewart

Dear List,

I have been trying for the better part of the day to get Apache 
w/mod_perl working on a Debian Woody system.  With the help of the 
Configuration section of the mod_perl Guide, I have set up httpd.conf 
w/ mod_perl support, I have setup a /perl location with 
Apache::Registry as the PerlHandler, and I have copied a test script 
from /usr/share/doc/libapache-mod-perl/examples into /perl.  However, 
whenever I try to display http://localhost/perl/test.pl, the browser 
(Galeon-1.2.1) displays a dialog asking if I want to save the file to 
disk or open it with an external application.

here is the pertinant section of httpd.conf:

Alias /perl /var/www/perl

PerlModule Apache::Registry

 SetHandler perl-script
 PerlHandler Apache::Registry
 Options ExecCGI
 allow from all
 PerlSendHeader on



Any clues as to what I may be doing wrong, or where to look for more 
info, would be greatly appreciated.


Regards,
Ian
