How to disable mod_perl in a subdir (apache)
Hi all, I saw a posting about this subject from earlier this year. I'm unable to make this work, and was hoping for some help. I have a Location directive for / (for the entire docroot). I would like to make one subdirectory not be handled by perl-script, but am unable to do so. Excerpt from httpd.conf: ~snip~ PerlModule Apache::DBI PerlFreshRestart On PerlRequire /etc/apache/handler.pl Directory /var/www Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None order allow,deny allow from all /Directory Location / SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason /Location ~snip~ I'm trying to make it so that, a subdir, like /yadda-yadda, is _not_ handled by Mason. Here is what I've tried to do: Location /yadda-yadda RemoveHandler .html /Location I've also tried moving the Location / directive contents into the above Directory, seeing as the docs mention that Location directives override a Directory directive, with no luck. Yet these files are still being served through Mason, and I can't figure out why. Should my handler.pl (startup.pl) be moved so that it's not executed in that Location? I've read as much as I can find on Apache's site, with no luck. Debian 2.2r3 Apache/1.3.9 Mod_perl 1.21 Thanks all, Ethan Erchinger

Try Location /yadda-yadda SetHandler default-handler /Location I tried that as well. Do you think it could be the startup.pl (handler.pl), shouldn't that only get run when the handler is perl-script?

If you have a PerlRequire startup.pl statement in your httpd.conf, startup.pl will always be run as Apache is starting up. It has nothing to do with the Set/AddHandler directives. I'm sure there is a section in the guide (http://perl.apache.org/guide/) which has more info, but I don't have a link handy.

I'm sure there is a section in the guide (http://perl.apache.org/guide/) which has more info, but I don't have a link handy. Thanks. So in the handler.pl I now have a stanza that looks for my /yadda-yadda uri in $r, and just return 1; if that's the case, put this in the handler() sub. So I believe the startup.pl should no longer be causing problems. I find it interesting that if I comment out the Location / directive which sets the SetHandler perl-script, then the problem disappears, maybe no so interesting, probably more obvious. By the way, this directory /yadda-yadda is actually being redirected via the mod_jk ajp13 protocol to a Tomcat server. If that helps at all. Thanks, EE

the host has that commented out for some reason: Alias /cgi-bin/ /home/seniordiscounts/cgi-bin/ Location /cgi-bin SetHandler perl-script #PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI /Location please explain how PerlRun might be better? --- Marc Slagle wrote: Maybe you can try Apache::PerlRun instead of Apache::Registry for the directories that you need to run those scripts.
