Hi folks,
I think this was raised before but I don't remember to have seen a
satisfactory answer. Someone please point me into the right
direction.
I want to deploy a Catalyst app that will be used to serve multiple
websites. The platform will be Apache2 (prefork) + mod_perl2. I
want
Catalyst to read a different configuration file, based on the host
name.
Each virtual host will have its own database (configured in .conf)
and
its own "root" directory, but other than this, all the Perl modules
are
the same.
I know this can be done with FastCGI by launching a different
process
for each host, but I'm interested in a mod_perl solution. Is it
feasible?
One of the limitations of mod_perl is that you can't run the same app
more than once on the same server. Sorry.
Let me clarify that. I don't want to run the app more than once. I
just want the application to switch configuration file and database
depending on the hostname that each particular request targets.
I've done this a zillion times with plain mod_perl, I just don't know
what's the proper route with Catalyst.
Possibly to pick up some particular config that's chosen on the basis
of the value of $c->req->host?
$c->config( host_config => {example.com => [qw/foo bar/],
superbad.com => [qw/
fred wilma/}
Or if you need something more dynamic, put some configuration grabbing
routine in auto in Controller::Root.
