mod_perl configuration questions
I finally got mod_perl to work properly after a few too many days: I was suffering from versionitis when my out-of-date pkg_info was getting in the way of clean installs. What I am trying to do is install mod_perl into an existing CGI-enabled environment with the MovableType weblog software. The super-simple, hey presto instruction I have found so far don't help at all: I can only get faster perl code and no access to any static html. Does anyone have any experience with mod_perl and plain old CGI they can share? -- Paul Beard http://paulbeard.no-ip.org/movabletype/ whois -h whois.networksolutions.com ha=pb202 To generalize is to be an idiot. -- William Blake ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

By existing you mean, some vendor (MovableType?) has provided you with a precompiled version of Apache and you want to add mod_perl to the mix? If so, you should look into compiling and adding the perl module via apxs. The super-simple, hey presto instruction I have found so far don't help at all: I can only get faster perl code and no access to any static html. When you try to add mod_perl, the result is your perl code runs faster, but apache no longer serves static HTML...? If so, that is remarkably odd.

When using mod_perl in this fashion, it changes the behavior of the directory and it's subdirectories to behave the same way a ScriptAliased directory would behave, basically, you can't serve static content from that location. Move all the static content (html, css, images, etc.) to a different directory (to use the example from the MT manual, use mt-static) and modify your mt.cfg file to add/change the StaticWebPath option to point to the location of the static files. From what I remember (this was about 4 or 5 months ago) that was all I had to do to get it working properly.

OK, that's sensible. But then requesting /movabletype still gives the error and /mt-static yields content without any css or images, even though all the stuff is in there. Do i need to alias /movabletype as something else?
