even with quick start...it's not heaven
hi,
I don't manage make it work...
Conf:
- mod_perl_1.26
- Apache::ASP
- Apache::SSI
- Apache::Filter
- Devel::SymDump
- MLDBM::Sync
- MLDBM
I put this in my httpd.conf:
# OK for security problem
<Directory / >
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
----------------------------
<Files *.phtml> # or whatever
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::SSI
</Files>
----------------------------
<Files ~ (\.asp)>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlModule Apache::ASP
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
PerlSetVar Global .
PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp # what is this foo thing.
</Files>
-----------------------------
and reload and the
I've got the source of index.html in my browser and the FAQ didn't help me.
I got a lot of trouble to RTFM !!
My lack of knowledge the way linux/apache/modules are working
and my not native language put the WHAT'S GOIN'ON INSIDE MY HEAD.
So it's a big call to any explanation...
ThanX
bbsc!

If you can't get the .htaccess to work, you can copy the
configs there directly into the httpd.conf to get the
examples to work. You could put them in a <Directory> config
for the directory that site/eg is really located on your system.

StateDir is where files for $Session & $Application are stored.

The Apache::Filter module is just used for hooking up
to Apache::SSI for SSI features. This is optional,
and you should not use it unless you need to do so.
There is an example config for it in the .htaccess.
For more information on what you might want SSI for,
please see http://www.apache-asp.org/ssi.html and perldoc Apache::SSI,
and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html

It can be done with mod_rewrite. Go to apache.org and read through the
mod_rewrite docs.

RE: "virtual urls"
Posted by Ellers <el...@iinet.net.au>.
Many thanks to those who replied.
I went with the <location> strategy using a file called 'lookup' and
using $ServerVariables( 'PATH_INFO' ) - works beautifully after
getting a few extra ASP settings into the httpd.conf
Thanks again!

How about just making /lookup the page, instead of /lookup/index.asp.
You'll have to make sure /lookup is executed as an asp page ( <Location
/lookup> ... </Location> ), but once you have that, you can just get the
rest from the pathinfo piece of the uri.
Or you could just rename /lookup/index.asp to /lookup.asp and call it
via /lookup.asp/event/1234. Slightly less "pretty" but functionally the
same, and it saves having to create a Location directive in your config
file.

But I'd really like to be able to request it like this:
http://any.com/lookup/event/1234
I've seen what I call "virtual urls" like this here and there, eg
amazon, and even got it going a couple years ago with perl/CGI.
However, using Apache-ASP the last URL above just returns 404 not found,
which sortof makes sense.
Is there a directive to tell Apache to look backwards (or whatever) in
the URL and resolve to use lookup/index.asp?
I'm sure it can be done somehow, but I'm not sure... maybe a special
<directory> directive?
Any tips appreciated!

"virtual urls"
Posted by Ellers <el...@iinet.net.au>.
Hi All
This is only partly an ASP question, but any help appreciated:
If I have a page like this:
http://any.com/lookup/index.asp
I'd can easily request it like this:
http://any.com/lookup/index.asp?event=1234
But I'd really like to be able to request it like this:
http://any.com/lookup/event/1234
I've seen what I call "virtual urls" like this here and there, eg amazon, and even got it going a couple years ago with perl/CGI.
However, using Apache-ASP the last URL above just returns 404 not found, which sortof makes sense.
Is there a directive to tell Apache to look backwards (or whatever) in the URL and resolve to use lookup/index.asp?
I'm sure it can be done somehow, but I'm not sure... maybe a special <directory> directive?
Any tips appreciated!

Congrats on getting the example to work. Apache::SSI
is optional functionality, so don't worry about getting it
to work unless you need it. If you want to continue, use
the SSI config example in site/eg/.htaccess.

Hi,
i've still done it and in fact cp-ing manually the
.htaccess & .bhtacces files in my root directory.
However I re-issue the operation.
But what I do with it... ?
<Files ~ (\.asp)>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlModule Apache::ASP
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
PerlSetVar Global .
PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp
</Files>
What's the /tmp/asp directory ?
I don't have such one and don't understand its utility.
So I try different config, the default doesn't work
(hmm' I don't have let it work ;op)
thx,

PS: And what about the <Files ~"*\.blah"> Apache::SSI directive ?
I wonder if my problem occurs with the Apache::SSI API (is that really
an API or a module ?) . To me 'blah' is a foo thing ! Isn't it ?
So if problem with Apache::SSI, it's maybe Apache::Filter too ?
Lot of question isn't it ?

Try: ( from http://www.apache-asp.org/install.html#Quick%20Start )
<Directory $DOCUMENT_ROOT/asp/eg >
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
To copy the entire site, including the examples, you might
do a raw directory copy as in:
shell> cp -rpd ./site $DOCUMENT_ROOT/asp
----------------
$DOCUMENT_ROOT is probably /usr/local/apache/htdoc/ but might
be something else
----------------
Do this exactly, not <Directory / > because there might
be another AllowOverride None in your config somewhere else.
Also, do the cp -rpd of the entire directory so you are
sure to pick up the .htaccess in .site/eg/
Once you get the examples working, you can start building
your own configs in httpd.conf, but try to get the examples
working first.
