I hope this is the correct mailing list for newbie mod perl questions.
I have just installed mod_perl 1.24 with Apache 1.3.14. Mod perl seems
to be running because upon startup of httpd, the Apache error log file
says
Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_02-dev configured -- resuming normal
operations
The problem I'm having is that the Location directive does not seem to
be working. I have the following in my httpd.conf file:
Alias /perl/ "/home/httpd/perl"
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
I have placed a file called test-cgi in the directory
"/home/httpd/perl/". It is executable and runs if executed from the
command line. However, when I try to call this script through the
browser using the URL http://localhost/perl/test-cgi I get a 404 not
found error (The requested URL /perl/test-cgi was not found on this
server.The requested URL /perl/test-cgi was not found on this server.)
The ScriptAlias directive works fine. I have:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
and the same file (test-cgi) placed in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
executes without problems.
This all seems very simple so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas anyone?
