Location directive not working for mod perl
I hope this is the correct mailing list for newbie mod perl questions. I have just installed mod_perl 1.24 with Apache 1.3.14. Mod perl seems to be running because upon startup of httpd, the Apache error log file says Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_02-dev configured -- resuming normal operations The problem I'm having is that the Location directive does not seem to be working. I have the following in my httpd.conf file: Alias /perl/ "/home/httpd/perl" Location /perl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On /Location I have placed a file called test-cgi in the directory "/home/httpd/perl/". It is executable and runs if executed from the command line. However, when I try to call this script through the browser using the URL http://localhost/perl/test-cgi I get a 404 not found error (The requested URL /perl/test-cgi was not found on this server.The requested URL /perl/test-cgi was not found on this server.) The ScriptAlias directive works fine. I have: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/" and the same file (test-cgi) placed in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin executes without problems. This all seems very simple so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas anyone?
Re: Location directive not working for mod perl
I believe you need the trailing / i.e. Alias /perl/ "/home/httpd/perl/" (but why not use Scriptalias ?)

Somewhere in the perl.apache.org docs it was suggested that Alias was preferrable to ScriptAlias for mod_perl. I'll have another look.
