Topic: Migrating some perl scripts to apache from IIS ?

[J_Witmyer]

Hi I am new to this site. I am glad to finally find some stinkin win32 apache support. its like unless you run nix then you shouldn't run apache. As we all know it isn't like this.

I am migrating some perl based webs to apache from IIS on win2k for the first time and I have some questions.

The first thing I noticed is that some pages that I was using SSI have an issue about the current working directory. I am calling a script from cgi-bin in a line like :

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/classes.pl"-->
<!--SST.#MONTHLIST=
<li><a href="cgi-bin\classes.pl?MONTH=%MONTH%&YEAR=%YEAR%&template=schedule-CLASSLIST.stm">%MONTHNAME% %YEAR%</a></li>
-->

The lines aren't really inprotant but in IIS I didn't need the cgi-bin/ that I now in apache need. My question is about control of the current working directory and how I should go about maybe making apache handle this more like IIS.

I have another question about logs. I have the module that is avalible on this site called mod_log_rotate. I just put it in the conf but I don't see any changes I set the time to 60 and nothing. The reason I want to use this is because the rotatelogs.exe won't let apache start it will just hang.

Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need the cgi-bin folder, if you allow to use perl in any directority from the web server.
