in reply to How to configure mod_perl?
I've got a working mod_perl installation on Ubuntu 10.O4. I've done the following things to get it working.
First i've created a file "/etc/apache2/site-available/yoursite" with following configuration:"
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName yoursite ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/yoursite PerlModule ModPerl::Registry <Location /> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry Options +ExecCGI </Location> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, c +rit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined </VirtualHost>
Note that i create a virtual host with a given name. To make sure that the site is visible, add a following line in your "/etc/hosts":
127.0.0.1 yoursite.localdomain yoursite
Now create the directory "/var/www/yoursite", make sure it is readable by user "www-data", and create a file "test.pl" with following content:
use Apache2::RequestUtil; my $r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request; $r->content_type("text/html"); $r->print("mod_perl rules!");
Note i've removed the "$r->send_http_header" line. It is not a valid method anymore under mod_perl2.
Restart your apache server.
This should give, when going to "http://yoursite/perl.pl", the text "mod_perl rules!".
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
Martell
