Hello.
I am having a configuration issue trying to use ErrorDocument directive with
a PerlAuthenHandler.
I don't think that this is related to bad mod_perl behavior more likely some
silly configuration error on my part :$ Anyway I am using the centos yum
package install for apache and mod_perl 2.0
I have a PerlAuthenHandler that I use in a virtual host config using the
<Location> directive. There is also a PerlTransHandler in place for the
virtual host, however I don't think the issue is related to that because the
same issue happens when I remove the TransHandler.
The config looks like this...
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.61:80>
ServerName rest.mydomain.com
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<Perl>
use lib '/etc/ApacheConfig/trunk/perl5/';
</Perl>
DocumentRoot /vhosts/rest.mydomain.com/htdocs/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /vhosts/rest.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/
CustomLog /vhosts/rest.mydomain.com/logs/rest-accesslog combined
ErrorLog /vhosts/rest.mydomain.com/logs/rest-errorlog
PerlTransHandler +MyTransHandler
<Location />
PerlAuthenHandler MyAuthenHandler
AuthType Basic
AuthName "REST Interface"
Require valid-user
</Location>
ErrorDocument 401 /http/401.html
php_value display_errors No
php_value log_errors Yes
php_value trace_errors Yes
</VirtualHost>
Now when I configure the Location directive to be / then the
PerlAuthenHandler seems to work fine however this conflicts with where I am
storing the custom 401.html page (i.e. it is under the same auth zone).
I therefore get the standard page for apache 401 errors with the following
added message.. "Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was
encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
Now I can understand this because the auth page has auth on it etc.
The actual directory I wish to protect is
/vhosts/rest.mydomain.com/htdocs/REST/ and so I put <Location /REST/> in the
config so that only this directory from my document root
(/vhosts/rest.mydomain.com/htdocs/) should have authentication right? well
no. I can't get the PerlAuthenHandler to work unless I specify <Location />
in the config instead of <Location /REST/>.
Am I using <Location> for the wrong reason in this case? Surely I am ..
anyway helpz plz..

Geoff
