Module problem
Hey list. I have a problem with mod_perl being implemented in httpd.conf in apache. I'm using it to load some virtual hosts out of a MySQL database. It works very well, but now I want to make it into a module, so I don't have all sort of code in my configuration, plus make it available for others. So I copy my code into a module I created, and I do all that use vhost::loader; etc. The problem is, I use the directive %VirtualHost, and that works fine in httpd.conf, but that variable does not exist in the module. How do I transfer the variable to the module, so it can read/write to it? Thanks in advance. -- Mvh. / Best Regards, Jesper Nøhr - decius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Holstebro, Denmark -- http://printf.dk Systems Administrator, Coder, Geek. -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html

RE: Please help newbie with Module problem.
Dennis and Randy and others on the list that gave advice,
Thank you so much for both your help. This has sorted out the problem. I
copied the *.pl files to the c:\apache\perl directory and before I made
the change to the httpd.conf file I tried it tham again and it's
perfect. If either or both of you can recommend a good charity I will
make a small donation for your time. Again thanks
Matt

Edit whatever form of an httpd.conf file that Apache has under Win32
(should be hte same, location I don't know).
mv the script out of the cgi-bin and into somewhere else, like
C:/Apache/perl
Let's say the name is RequestHandler.pm
In httpd, add this line:
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RequestHandler
Restart Apache, and any access to blah.yourdomain.whatever/ should get
trapped in there.
You may need to add the other standard apache directives to that, like
ServerName blah.yourdomain.whatever and so on, but probably not.

Yes, we are. The code I sent you is hte core of hte project I'm
currently programming, which includes an entire dispatch table.

The fact that you can 'use' it (without doing anything with it) is encouraging, as that means the files are probably in the expected places, and Apache/mod_perl can use/load them. Does it help if you put a PerlModule Apache::Request directive in, before the directives defining your registry location? -- best regards, randy

Randy, Good idea about the archive. I will do so. Yes, mod/perl/html scripts are fine except if I try to use Apache::Request. I can even 'use' it but the problem arises when I try to utilise it with the 'new' method.

And, for the benefit of archiving, you might want to include the mod_perl list in the reply - that'll help others in the future who have similar difficulties. -- best regards, randy

But since CPAN.pm believes Apache::Request is up to date, you probably have a working version, in principle.

This script ran fine for me under Apache::Registry with ActivePerl 635 / mod_perl 1.27 / Apache 1.3.27. From where are you running it? And does a simple Apache::Registry script that just prints out "Hello" work from the same location? -- best regards, randy kobes

Actually, you don't. You can use CGI.pm, CGI::Simple, CGI_Lite, etc. for this. If you want to use Apache::Request but can't get your own compile to work, try one of the pre-compiled binaries available here: http://perl.apache.org/download/binaries.html - Perrin

mod_perl sends $r to the handler() subroutine by default. That is, if you're
using it in a PerlHandler context, like you should with anything that uses
Apache::Request.
Therefore, th ollowing should work for you.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $result = undef;
eval { $result = inner_handler($r) };
return $result unless $@;
warn "Uncaught Exception: $@";
return SERVER_ERROR;
}
sub inner_handler {
my $r = shift;
$r->content-type('text/html');
$r->status(200);
my $html = "Hello World!You
Tried To Access URI: ". $r->uri ."";
$r->send_http_header;
print $html;
}

Title: Message Dear List, I have got a problem that I can't fix no way, no how. I am porting a Linux website to xp pro. I need to use the Apache::Request module on a range of programs to use POST and GET methods in my HTML to process information gathered. The port I am using is the Activestate Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.8.14 OpenSSL/0.9.7b mod_perl/1.27_01-dev I have installed 'Apache::Request with perl -MCPAN -e "shell"' and 'install Apache::Request' . and if I try to run the install I get a message saying 'Apache::Request is up to date' I dont seem to be able to test the module becuase I cannot make it with NMAKE.EXE, is this necessary. I use nmake15.exe should I be using a later one. The @INC is c:\perl\lib and c:\perl\site\lib The request.pm is in /perl/site/lib/apache however when I run the following code #!c:/perl/bin/perl -w use Apache ();use Apache::Request ();use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);my $r = Apache::Request->new(shift);# my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r);print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";print "Hello, World...\n";print $r;print @INC; I receive the message Can't locate object method "new" via package "Apache::Request" (perhaps you forgot to load "Apache::Request"?) at c:\apache\cgi-bin\ap2.pl line 6. This prob has been with me a weeka nd I just don't seem to be able to find a resolution. Matt
