Configuring Apache to Use mod_perl
Bearing all this in mind, we
can now set up the Config file neatly. In
line with convention, we rename .../cgi-bin to .../perl. We can then
put most of the Perl stuff neatly in a
<Location>
block:
User webuser Group webuser ServerName www.butterthlies.com DocumentRoot /usr/www/APACHE3/APACHE3/site.mod_perl/mod_cgi/htdocs TransferLog /usr/www/APACHE3/APACHE3/site.mod_perl/logs/access_log ErrorLog /usr/www/APACHE3/APACHE3/site.mod_perl/logs/error_log #change this before production! LogLevel debug AliasMatch /perl(.*) /usr/www/APACHE3/APACHE3/site.mod_perl/perl/$1 Alias /perl /usr/www/APACHE3/APACHE3/site.mod_perl/perl DirectoryIndex /perl/home PerlTaintCheck On PerlWarn On <Location /perl> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry #PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun Options ExecCGI PerlSendHeader On </Location>
Remember to reduce the Debug level before using this in earnest! Note that the two directives:
PerlTaintCheck On PerlWarn On
won’t go into the
<Location>
block because they are executed
when Perl loads.
