Greetings, Using Fedora Core 1 Apache 1.3.29 mod_perl 1.29
Aparently I am just not understanding something and would like to ask this list for some help. I'm trying to set up a non-mod_perl proxy server as the front end which would then forward requests for certain files of certain applications to the back-end mod_perl enabled apache. I've set up the front end apache (which I just named 'apache') with mod_proxy, mod_rewrite, and mod_proxy_add_forward following after the example in http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/scenario.html#Building_the_httpd_perl_Server (thanks Stas for the docs). I then set up the back-end (which I named 'apache_perl'). Both start up just fine and the front end serves ordinay files and plain CGI scripts just fine. It even appears to forward the matching test mod_perl requests to the back-end server. The problem is that I get a '500 internal Server Error' and no entry in the error logs for the back-end. I'm pretty sure the back-end server is getting the requests cause the error message on the screen shows this message on the bottom 'Apache/1.3.29 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 8181' and that is the name of my back-end server (127.0.0.1) not the front-end and that's the port I have it running on. When I start up the apache_perl server the info gets printed to the correct error log, but not the error generated when I try and run the test script. I don't know exactly where to go from here since I can't tell why the script is generating the error. Here are the relevant portions of my conf files apache/conf/httpd.conf [snip] ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/(intranet/.*\.cgi)$ http://127.0.0.1:8181/$1 [P,L] NoCache * ProxyPassReverse / http://extranet.venzia.com/ [/snip] apache_perl/conf/httpd.conf [snip] ServerName 127.0.0.1 Port 8181 ErrorLog /usr/local/apache_perl/logs/error_log LogLevel warn PerlRequire /usr/local/apache_perl/conf/startup.pl PerlPostReadRequestHandler My::ProxyRemoteAddr PerlModule Apache::Registry <Location /intranet> DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /development </Location> [/snip] apache_perl/conf/starup.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use Apache::Constants (); sub My::ProxyRemoteAddr ($) { my $r = shift; # we'll only look at the X-Forwarded-For header if the requests # comes from our proxy at localhost return Apache::Constants::OK unless ($r->connection->remote_ip eq "127.0.0.1") and $r->header_in('X-Forwarded-For'); } 1; Any help would be appreciated.
