[users@httpd] PerlSetEnv in .htaccess ?
Hi Friends,
I am using a shared hosting a/c and it allows me to use .htaccess
now i am writing the following lines in .htaccess and then the server is
giving the 500 internal server error
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE _base.epl
Is there a method to write the code in another way so that the server allows
it in .htaccess .
Thanks,
abhi

I really doubt that a shared hoster that denies access to the error_log
supports mod_perl. Even if so Embperl at least with mp2.x requires an extra
LoadModule. To check if your server supports mod_perl at first I'd check the
ServerTokens it sends with each reply:
curl -I http://localhost
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:07:34 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.6 OpenSSL/0.9.8e DAV/2 SVN/1.4.5
mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0 mod_perl/2.0.4-dev Perl/v5.8.8
You see my localhost supports mod_perl version 2.0.4-dev. If it reads only
Server: Apache
then the administrator has configured the minimal server tokens. That does not
mean you don't have mod_perl.
The next step would be a simple PerlResponseHandler something like that in
your .htaccess (in case of mp2):
PerlResponseHandler "sub { \
use Apache2::RequestRec; \
use Apache2::RequestIO; \
$_[0]->content_type( q{text/plain} ); \
$_[0]->print(qq{OK\\n}); \
return 0; \
}"
All untested of course. Try it first on a local host where you are sure you
have mod_perl and access to the error_log.
If that works you have mod_perl2. But Embperl is another problem.

Check the error log in order to see what's the problem.
The server might not have mod_perl support and that's why it could make that error.

I don't know of a way to do exactly this on a shared host. If your
provider supports mod_perl they must support things like PerlSetEnv,
you really should talk to them and see what they say.
Setting the environment variable in a BEGIN block of your Perl code
might be enough to work, though.
Good luck,

Child Perl programs inherit the environment of their parent, so
setting the variable in a wrapper before calling the other script would work.
The best way is to get your hosting provider to help you set what you
need in the main httpd.conf but if they won't do that, this will work.

On second thoughts is there a method by which i can execute some piece of
code to execute even before my scripts are called, remember i am on a shared
host,

Yes i tried but this was also not working, a 500 internal server error
appears,
You could also edit your scripts to begin with:

Actually i want this variable be set even before my code starts actually
this is the code of a Perl template engine called Embperl, it needs to be
there before any line of code,
Are you using mod_perl or standard CGI scripts?
I believe i am using modperl , but am not sure,

You could try just using SetEnv.
You could also edit your scripts to begin with:
$ENV{EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE}='_base.epl'
Are you using mod_perl or standard CGI scripts?
There might be a better way supported by your Web hosting provider;
you could ask them for their suggestions.
Good luck!
