Re: [cgiapp] AutoRunmode vs Apache issue
Yes, I agree with Jerry. With "$self->mode_param(path_info => 1);" in the setup section and a corresponding Apache setup you can get short URLs without the AutoRunMode module that I don't know. And if you want more flexibility, you can try my patched CGI Application version https://github.com/MartinMcGrath/CGI--Application/pull/2 ;-) . Perhaps in the next version this will be implemented... > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 25.

I have never used autorunmode so this may be full-of-merde: LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so AddHandler cgi-script .cgi ServerName foo.example.org DocumentRoot /var/www/cgi-bin DirectoryIndex WebApp.pl (etc) ** Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Could this be a job for the rewrite module?

Re: [cgiapp] AutoRunmode vs Apache issue
Since you're just getting started, maybe you don't need autorunmode? I have a pretty extensive cgiapp application, and I've never used it. You just set up your run modes in setup() - it's not that much typing. Back when I was putting my stuff together, I read that autorunmode was fragile, and a security risk. So I just got started without it. I do use Apache. - Jerry Kaidor On 05/25/2017 03:04, Simon Cruickshank wrote: > Hi All, > > Sorry if this is a little off topic or has been answered before. > > I used the tutorial at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=622071 to > create a website.

Re: [cgiapp] AutoRunmode vs Apache issue
Hi, Simon,
I think that DirectoryIndex is the wrong option (I think this option is only
for the case, that your page is requested without any path argument
(especially instead of the the usualyl called index.html). You have to rewrite
all requests over your CGI-script. I have the following .htaccess setting:
DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/WebApp.cgi
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cgi-bin/WebApp.cgi/$1 [QSA,L]
But I am also not very familiar with setting up Apache... At the moment I run
my webpage over Plack. There is the setting a little bit different..
I know that setting up Apache, is a little bit tricky. I hope, I could help a
little bit. If you have further questions, you are highly welcome..
Best wishes,
Max
