Hi,
I am using the following in my .htaccess file:
<Perl>
my $r = Apache->request();
$RewriteBase = $r->uri();
</Perl>
The reason for doing this is that Apache mod_rewrite requests
RewriteBase to be set to the logical path of the directory. (This code
snippet is just a test... I intend to manipulate $r->uri() so that the
filename is removed.
Anyway, when I try to access a file in this directory, I get the
following error in my log (sometimes):
Can't call method uri" on an undefined value
I say "(sometimes)" because, sometimes it does actually work!
Generally a few requests will work, then some won't. Then some will
then some won't. If I restart the Apache server they won't work until
after a few requests.
What's going on?
Also, when I flesh it out further:
<Perl>
my $r = Apache->request();
my $filenameLength = length ( $r->filename() );
my $dir = $r->uri();
for (i=0, i++; i < filenameLength) chop $dir;
$RewriteBase = $dir;
</Perl>
I get NULL being assigned to RewriteBase :-(
Any suggestions gratefully received. I've never used mod_perl before
(except in CGI compatibility mode).
