I read the article at <http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/04/01/masongal.html> and installed <http://search.cpan.org/dist/faceplant>, and figured out enough to get it =almost= working. But I still can't figure something out.
A URL like <http://bkcg.lamp4/gallery/June> gives a 404, "The requested URL /gallery/June was not found on this server." A URL like <http://bkcg.lamp4/gallery/June/_MG_2571.JPG.html> works as expected. The real directory docroot/gallery contains files autohandler.mason, dhandler.mason, and index.html, and subdirectories css, images, js, and pictures. index.html is just inherit => 'dhandler.mason' in flags. Everything with a URL under gallery is really made up by this script. Meanwhile, <http://bkcg.lamp4/gallery> itself does not work either, but <http://bkcg.lamp4/gallery/index.html> does. Note that automatically finding the index.html file works on other locations. This offers a work-around for the top-level gallery, anyway. Presumably this worked for him! I'd like to better understand what the deal is with directories vs locations in a directory when handled by a higher-level in the URI's name. And I need to know what is still wrong here. Here is my configuration: # site-wide setting <LocationMatch "(\.html|\.txt)$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler </LocationMatch> # all URI's here, will include names for graphics files + query args. <Location /gallery/images> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler </Location> # keep private stuff from being explicitly fetched <LocationMatch "(\.mason|dhandler|autohandler)$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlInitHandler Apache::Constants::NOT_FOUND </LocationMatch> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
