Greetings Apache Gurus,
I'm not sure if this is a mod_perl issue or just an Apache configuration issue. Please redirect me if appropriate.
My Configuration:
Apache/2.2.8 (Win32)
Perl: v5.8.8
mod_perl 2.0
I have also followed all the directions through the Registry Scripts section at: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/config.html
Here's The Problem
I have several Perl scripts and a module in C:/Apache2/cgi-bin/ridhwan/. Each script has a submit button that will display a new page. All my scripts work fine when accessed from this type of URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/ridhwan/script_name.pl
I would like to use mod_perl to handle these scripts. So, rather than set up a new directory on the filesystem, I have put the following in the httpd.conf file. Note that it is supposed to remove the /cgi-bin/ part of the path:
| Code: | Alias /ridhwan/ "C:/Apache2/cgi-bin/ridhwan/"
<Location /ridhwan>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
</Location> |
The result is that when I click on a URL like the following (i.e. missing the the /cgi-bin/):
http://localhost/ridhwan/script_name.pl
the script displays fine….but clicking the submit button doesn't do anything....it just redisplays the same page. But it's the *same script* as in the first link. It's just being accessed through the alias. So, I don't understand why it doesn't work.
Any idea what's wrong?
Thank you,
memnoch

The previous posting was really about being unable to find the library. The issue of this posting was tacked on at the end of it because I didn't know that they were different issues. The first issue about finding the library is solved. This new issue is about the scripts displaying, but not working.
Rather than update what was already a confusing posting, I thought it best to close that one and make a simplified new one. I would have deleted the previous one, but I couldn't find a way to do it. Feel free to delete it if you like. |
