Stacked Handlers Location directive -- inside and outside virtualhost
I try to do the following: Outside the virtual host (non-ssl) in the location directive, I have the following: Location /~xyz AuthName someauth AuthType sometype PerlAuthenHandler MyModule require valid-user /Location When http://www.abc.com/~xyz gets called PerlAuthenHandler MyModule is invoked. MyModule code checks for IP after reading a file from xyz directory. If the host ip matches with the one in the file, it returns OK and the PerlAuthzHandler never gets called and the webpage is served to the user. However, if the IP check fails, the user is redirected to another PerlAuthenHandler (which is our InHouse Authentication module) called InHouseModule. This redirection is done over ssl and thus is user is redirected to https://www.abc.com/~xyz which invokes PerlAuthenHandler InHouseModule. For this there needs to be an entry for PerlAuthenHandler InHouseModule inside virtual host like so: virtual host Location ~xyz AuthName someauth AuthType sometype PerlAuthenHandler InHouseModule PerlAuthzHandler MyModule require valid-user /Location /virtual host Thus the user is asked for netid and password and if the authentication is successful via InhouseModule PerlAuthzHandler MyModule gets called again to do some more check by reading file. My problem is this: Everything works fine if I have the above two entries in the conf file. However, we need one single entry in access.conf so that we dont end up adding the Location directive (both inside and outside) for every URL (last count there were 250 users) and using IF condition it gets loaded in Location directive both inside and outside virtual host. Essentially we need one common entry like this in access.conf: Location ~xyz AuthName someauth AuthType sometype PerlAuthenHandler MyModule PerlAuthenHandler InHouseModule PerlAuthzHandler MyModule require valid-user /Location But this doesnt work when PerlAuthenHandler MyModule returns OK (i.e when IP check is successful). Probably becoz it still tries to invoke the second PerlAuthenHandler InHouseModule or maybe two PerlAuthenHandler in one location directive in itself is not the right thing to do. Then I find out about stacked_handlers and try to make this common entry work: Location ~xyz AuthName someauth AuthType sometype PerlAuthenHandler MyModule PerlAuthzHandler MyModule require valid-user /Location Basically take off PerlAuthenHandler InHouseModule from conf file and use $r-push_handlers( PerlAuthenHandler, Apache::Bluestem ); in the PerlAuthenHandler MyModule code when it tries to do the REDIRECT (after failing IP check and before proceeding for other checks authenticating the user netid and password). I get an internal server error. Where am I going wrong? I hope I have explained myself clearly. Is there any other way of doing this? Thanks for help. -- Shashank.
Re: Stacked Handlers Location directive -- inside and outside virtualhost
When http://www.abc.com/~xyz gets called PerlAuthenHandler MyModule is invoked. MyModule code checks for IP after reading a file from xyz directory. If the host ip matches with the one in the file, it returns OK and the PerlAuthzHandler never gets called and the webpage is served to the user. you may want to try using a PerlAccessHander for checking the IP, then combine that with Satisfy Any (as opposed to the Satisfy All default).

Re: Stacked Handlers Location directive -- inside and outside virtualhost
I tried that already. When I use PerlAccessHander with Satisfy Any, the webpage is always served even if IP check fails. Interestingley, when IP check fails, it redirects (https url) but never ask for any userid or password and straight away serves the page. -- Shashank On Fri, 30 May 2003, Geoffrey Young wrote: When http://www.abc.com/~xyz gets called PerlAuthenHandler MyModule is invoked.

Re: Stacked Handlers Location directive -- inside and outside virtualhost
Hi There,
I read the following thread (with Geoff's comment in there too):
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/mod_perl_C1/docs-dev_F5/a_little_feedback_P38941/
than I thought about Geoff's advice about using PerlAccess Handler and
came
up with this concoction (which works :-) )
Conf entry:
Location /~xyz
AuthName someauth
AuthType someauth
PerlAccessHandler Apache::MyModule
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::SuperAuthen
PerlAuthzHandler Apache::Xdoc
require valid-user
/Location
--
package Apache::SuperAuthen;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use Apache::Registry ();
use Apache::InHouseModule;
use Apache::MyModule;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
if (Apache::MyModule::handler($r) == OK ||
Apache::InHouseModule::handler($r) == OK){
return OK;
}
return AUTH_REQUIRED;
}
1;
__END__
---
However, I would be please if someone can explain what actually happens. I
dont clearly understand why it works :--)
Thanks,
Shashank.

Location directive on a network drive
I'm attempting to run some code off a mounted drive on RH Linux 7.1 (Apache 1.3.2, modperl-1.26), but for some reason, my Location directive is ignored (code is executed from the local drive instead) I'm pointing to /mnt/qa_load_www/cgi-shl, but code is instead executed from /apache/cgi-shl.

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?

To close loop , I discovered I had redundant Location directives for /hello/world amongst my various *.conf files. Once I got rid of the extras I was good to go. Thanks for ideas !
