hi all. i've been highly unsuccessful moving a particular set of
websites
from linux to solaris due to perl module issues. this of course is
not
strictly a csw issue, but my preference is to install everything
necessary
via csw.
to this end, i'd like to ask if anyone can point me to a recipe for
what
i'm trying to do. ultimately, this is what i'd like:
apache2 running mod_perl
apache/perl talking to oracle (oracle client is of course outside
the scope
of csw)
apache auth via oracle
if you have been running that kind of stuff on a Linux platform
before,
what packages did you use there? Is it something like:
- Apache2/APR compiled with apr_dbd_oracle.so for authentication
- DBD::Oracle for Perl Oracle connectivity
- Oracle client
i'm darned close using apache13, but this is not ideal for several
reasons.
Aside from the drawbacks you are implying, would our Apache 1.3
package
put you in a position to connect to Oracle? How?
Sebastian
on the linux side...
system packages:
apache2
CPAN:
Apache::DBI
Apache::Session:DBI
DBI
CGI
mod_perl2
LWP::UserAgent
HTML::Embperl
manually installed:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/ME/MERGL/ApacheDBI-0.71.tar.gz
apache2 has configs including this:
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthDBI::authen
PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthDBI::authz
<Location /xxx>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
</Location>
...
now, on the solaris side i started with these and all the dependencies
they brought with them:
pkgutil -in CSWpmapachedbi CSWpmdbdoracle
i used the csw perl/cpan to install a few of the other modules. i had
to manually install DBD::Oracle (from CPAN) but it got me part way
there. apache auth via oracle is currently working, but for some
reason the perl cgis are not getting ORACLE_HOME and other variables
passed and are failing to connect with oracle for that reason. i think
it's an apache config issue, but have yet to find it. i'd still rather
use apache2 and not have to rewrite so much of the config.
that was a lot of stuff; i hope it answers your questions. thanks for
your interest.
