Re: [cgiapp] CGI::Application::Dispatch [post] runmode not working

The 'create' runmode presents a form with 'method=post' and
'action=index.cgi' and a [submit] button named 'rm' with
'value=save' but the debug switch in the C:A:D table sends messages
to the log that show that the 'save' rule is never matched.
Dispatch dispatches based on the URL. In your case that URL is going to be index.cgi. Change the
action to be /save, keep your method as post and remove the name rm from that button (nameless
buttons are pretty common in web forms).

If you're still having problems, post the debugging output from Dispatch.
Ok, so I changed the match from '/' to '' and it didn't change
anything. I am pretty sure the issue is with apache as the
ENV{PATH_INFO} does not include the junk directory I typed in. This
is the output I get (I added PATH_INFO) for the url:
http://locahost:8080/frew/controller_station/awesome

What is your document root? And what is your actual directory structure like
under that root?

Re: [cgiapp] Re: CGI::Application::Dispatch help
What is your document root? And what is your actual directory structure like
under that root?
DocumentRoot C:/Documents and Settings/frew/My
Documents/Code/aircraft_ducting
Code/aircraft_ducting/
-config.pl
-ACD
--Controller.pm # Note: this is my base controller and I don't plan on
having any real pages in it
--Dispatch.pm
--Model.pm
--Controller
---Station.pm
--Model
---Shop.pm
--View
I don't think that the DocumentRoot matters though. This is the
actual config for this VirtualServer:
#{{{ Aircraft Ducting
VirtualHost *:8080
ErrorLog C:/Documents and Settings/frew/My
Documents/Code/aircraft_ducting/logs/error.log
Perl
use lib 'C:/Documents and Settings/frew/My
Documents/Code/aircraft_ducting';
$ENV{MODE} = 'development';
/Perl
ScriptAlias / C:/Documents and Settings/frew/My
Documents/Code/aircraft_ducting
DocumentRoot C:/Documents and Settings/frew/My
Documents/Code/aircraft_ducting
Location /
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ACD::Dispatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Location
/VirtualHost
#}}}
I think the Location probably tramples the DocumentRoot and
ScriptAlias directives.
But obviously I am wrong about something :-)

Maybe not. What happens if you change them. Also, why are you using a DocumentRoot or ScriptAlias
directive when you're handling everything under '/' with that Location?

Re: [cgiapp] mod_perl vs. FastCGI
However, if that still seems like too long, and your code is too tricky for Apache2::Reload, there are two simple solutions. One is to develop under CGI, which should be easy for most CGI::App users. Then you just switch over to mod_perl when you're ready for testing. I think I'll do this one. That's definitely reasonable. What about the dispatch stuff? Will my URL just look like this: foo/Dispatch.pm/controller_foo/action ? Another is to set MaxRequestsPerChild to 1, so that your code is compiled fresh every time. If you do this, make sure you don't load the code you're editing in your startup.pl (before the fork). I'd prefer to do the previous idea as I've had lots of success with apache and vanilla cgi before, but I may look into this when I'm not so busy. I also like the idea that with FastCGI we can switch back to IIS. Can't say I agree with you there, but to each their own. However, I would caution you that when I tried to find an IIS FastCGI solution a few years ago, there was really nothing available. That may have changed since Ruby increased the popularity of FastCGI. Well, technically I agree with you and I think we should abandon IIS and SQL Server and Windows even, but you have to start small :-) I think I'll just do the CGI stuff for now as that should be just fine really. mod_perl may be overkill anyway as we will probably never have more than 5 users at the same time as this app is for one single small organization. -fREW # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####
Re: [cgiapp] Re: CGI::Application::Dispatch help
Maybe not. What happens if you change them. Also, why are you using a DocumentRoot or ScriptAlias directive when you're handling everything under '/' with that Location? If I remove ScriptAlias OR DocumentRoot nothing happens. If I remove both it stops ignoring the junk directory that I put in the url, but it adds it's own static directory to the beginning (so instead of localhost/frew/bar/baz yielding /bar/baz I get /htdocs/frew/bar/baz). As to why: I don't know. I just changed it so that only /ACD would go to the perl module. It didn't change any of our results though. Same thing, except with ACD in the front. -- -fREW # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

Well, I'm not sure why, but Apache is doing something weird here. Is this a Windows problem (did someone else in this thread point out that it works right on Ubuntu)? You could try just putting in your own dispatch_path() method in your Dispatch class to strip out the first directory part of the PATH_INFO. -- Michael Peters Plus Three, LP # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####
