perl modules not running after 'minor' change

Ben Hopkins Mon, 30 Aug 2004 21:50:37 -0700

I'm running RH 8, apache 1.3.23, mod_perl 1.29. They wanted me to install a CMS (Plone) that uses Zope, which requires that I put mod_proxy into the apache setup. So I redid the apache ./configure (forgetting about mod_perl for the moment).

Then I remembered about mod_perl, learned about APACI args and everything, and it make'd just fine all the way through the install. Except for one problem: my mod_perl modules are not running. I have a module defined as a PerlHandler for location "/" which inserts a bit of javascript into each outgoing html doc, and another PerlAuthenHandler for a directory they wanted protected. Neither of those runs anymore. No error messages in the logs, either (except for a 500 error when the protected directory is accessed -- it says "configuration error: couldn't check user. No user file?", which it wouldn't say if it had run my handler).

I configured it like this:

$ perl Makefile.PL `cat make_args`

--where make_args looks like this:

USE_APACI=1 \ EVERYTHING=1 \ DO_HTTPD=1 \ APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.23/src \ APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=proxy,--enable-module=rewrite,--enable-module=speling,--enable-module=so,--prefix=/usr/local/apache


Here is the relevant parts of httpd.conf:

Towards the beginning is this line:
LoadModule perl_module        libexec/libperl.so

Then, later is this section:
PerlRequire conf/startup.pl
PerlFreshRestart On

PerlModule Apache::AuthPwd

<Location />
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler Apache::putInJava
</Location>

<Location /howdy>
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler Apache::HelloWorld
</Location>

<Location /secret>
   AuthName  " -- Use your regular name in the User Name field -- "
   AuthType Basic
   PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthPwd
   require valid-user
</Location>

(The /howdy location was thrown in at the last minute as a test -- it didn't work.)

Here is httpd -l output:

Compiled-in modules:
 http_core.c
 mod_env.c
 mod_log_config.c
 mod_mime.c
 mod_negotiation.c
 mod_status.c
 mod_include.c

 mod_rewrite.c
 mod_access.c
 mod_auth.c
 mod_proxy.c
 mod_expires.c
 mod_so.c
 mod_setenvif.c
 mod_perl.c

And I wrote a little script to print the contents of Apache::MyConfig, which says, APACHE_HEADER_INSTALL: 1 APACHE_PREFIX: APACHE_SRC: ../apache_1.3.23/src APACI_ARGS: --enable-module=proxy,--enable-module=rewrite,--enable-module=speling,--enable-module=so,--prefix=/usr/local/apache

What am I doing wrong?
