mod_perl and RedHat 6

I'm trying to migrate a server to a new machine running 64-bit RedHat 6. The stock RedHat setup is apache 2.2.15, php 5.3.3 and perl 5.10.1. Normally I build the latest Apache 2.2 and Perl/mod_perl in /usr/local and just use that. However, this server will also use Drupal so I figured I'd

Question about caching

Hello, I'm looking at upgrading some legacy code that runs under mod_perl with an eye towards making it more scalable. I understand the value of having one light-weight server for static content, and a reverse proxy back to a heavy-weight Apache with mod_perl, and I understand I can use

Building mod_perl for authentication

I've now tried various version of Perl (5.10.1, 5.12.4, 5.14.1), and various version of Apache, but I'm unable to get Apache to run when mod_perl is installed. The error logs show symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.1/x86_64- linux/auto/ModPerl/Util/Util.so: undefined

Building mod_perl 2.0.5

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade some 64-bit Linux servers and though I'd upgrade Perl as well. I've built the latest Apache (2.0.21), Perl (5.14.2) and mod_perl (2.0.5), but mod_perl fails three tests: api/request_rec filter/out_str_reverse err_headers_out When I went ahead and installed this on

Authentication and cookies

I'm trying to upgrade mod_perl authentication/authorization handlers for application menu to be more fine-grained by using cookies. The basic idea is - restrict a script alias in httpd.conf with basic authentication calling the custon handlers - validate the user ID/password in the

Re: Authentication handlers in a proxy setting

To do access control for static files while still using your mod_perl auth handler, take a look at mod_auth_tkt or perlbal. Thanks!

Re: Authentication handlers in a proxy setting

It would be more logical to do the authentication on the front-end server. Then, if the back-end server needs the result of the authentication, you could add an appropriate HTTP header (with the user-id and maybe more stuff) to the request, before proxying it to the back-end. The idea is

Authentication handlers in a proxy setting

Hi, I wrote some mod_perl handlers for authentication and authorization, basically to set cookies and check user roles. I use them for both static and dynamic content from Perl scripts. I'm looking into splitting Apache into two servers, one optimized for static content and acting as a

Re: mod_perl compilation problem

Did you remove all previous perl build fragments that may have been compiled without -fPIC? That is, can you try a clean install with a prefix like /home/myuser/testperl, and then try to build mod_perl against that perl installation? I'll try that next. Question: my home box is opensuse

mod_perl compilation problem

I'm still trying to figure out how to build mod_perl on an AMD x86_64 system. It's running gcc 4.1.1 on Red Hat 4.1.1-52. Perl 5.8.8 + Apache + mod_perl is already installed, but I wanted to try and build everything with 5.10 because I've read that the RedHat Perl binaries are sometimes very

Compiling Perl + mod_perl on 64-bit linux

Hi, I've recently upgraded my main linux machine, but unfortunately the distribution (OpenSuse 11.0, AMD x86_64) has everything with Perl 5.10. I have some software that runs under mod_perl that requires Perl 5.8.8. No problem, I just build 5.8.8, right? Well, after two days I was able to

Re: Compiling Perl + mod_perl on 64-bit linux

You will need to compile perl with -fPIC on x86_64, I think I did it with: ccflags='-fPIC' sh Configure -Dprefix /path to perl I can't remember _exactly_ if that was it though. The other options would be to manually the edit the Makefiles but I don't remember having to do that. OK, I've

Using MP2 and CPAN modules

Hi, my server is running Apache 2.0.54 and MP 2.0.2. I'm trying to become familiar with the environment, but I get the impression most CPAN modules really want to run under Apache 1.X. In particular, I installed Apache::SessionManager, but can't get Apache to restart when I add the config

More on Apache::SessionManager/MP2

OK, so I followed the guidelines and changed mod_perl, Apache2::*, constants, etc. I had to uncomment a reference to Apache2::Connection so references to $r-connection-remote_ip() would work. At that point, I can restart the server and load SessionManager, but the minute I try to connect to

Re: Class::DBI and CGI::Application under mod_perl

I started using CGI::Application a while ago and found it pretty easy to use. I think you might look into using CGI::Builder, which is basically the same idea but more flexible and with lots of nice extensions for various templating systems, etc.
