RE: [Catalyst] FastCGI Deployment problem - can't find templates
Okay. I've done this. I did some more checking, and I realize that I'm not sure where the static files and templates should be installed on a production server. It doesn't look like they get picked up in the make process. I currently have them in the /opt/myserver directory. My application perl module files are in the standard site_perl location. Where should the templates, etc go?

They shouldn't be in the static directory. A fairly standard configuration is to have a templates directory right underneath root, at the same level as the static directory. You should probably move the templates directory one level up and adjust the config for your TT view.

The problem is, now that I have the app deployed, Catalyst can't seem to find my template files. These templates were found with no problem in the development environment. Here's the error I'm getting: [error] Couldn't render template file error - comments/report.tt: not found And here's my apache configuration: LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so FastCgiExternalServer /opt/myapp/myapp_fastcgi.pl -host 127.0.0.1:3001 VirtualHost 64.22.79.211:80 ServerName blog-admin.myserver.com Alias /static /opt/myapp/root/static Alias / /opt/myapp/myapp_fastcgi.pl/ /VirtualHost (I have the template files in the /opt/myapp/root/static/templates directory.) And the command I used to start the FastCGI server: ./myapp_fastcgi.pl -e -l 127.0.0.1:3001 -p /tmp/myapp.pid I'm stumped. Does anyone see a problem with my configuration or otherwise that might be keeping Catalyst from seeing my template files?

RE: [Catalyst] FastCGI Deployment problem - can't find templates
Ah. That's it. I found a problem in the Makefile. Once that was fixed, the root directory started being installed in the right place. Shockingly, with the files in the right place, the templates were found. :-) Greg -Original Message- From: Tomas Doran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 9/23/2008 3:46 PM To: The elegant MVC web framework Subject: Re: [Catalyst] FastCGI Deployment problem - can't find templates On 23 Sep 2008, at 23:24, Coates, Greg wrote: Okay.
