 Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2004 4:21 am Post subject: Installing Apache, PHP, and Perl |
 |
|
I'de like to install Apache with support for PHP and Perl
I notice whith
| Code: | | emerge --pretend apache mod_php mod_perl mod_ssl |
It will try to install both Apache2 and Apache 1.3.
Whats the problem and how can I fix it? Through searching the forums I heard that mod_perl doesn't work with Apache2, so I suppose 1.3 is the path I need to go down, right? |

You will need to mask Apache 2
| Code: | | # echo '>=net-www/apache-2.0' >> /etc/portage/package.mask |
should do it.

Sure you can install Apache2 without installing Apache 1.3. For mod_perl you need the 1.99.x version instead of the 1.29 version.
You may need to do this in multiple steps so you only emerge what you need.
Try:
| Code: | | emerge -pv =apache-2.0.49 |
For the mod_perl you will need to use the development version:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv =mod_perl-1.99.11 |
Then add in the other modules you want to emerge.
I suspect that you will have some trouble with mod_perl working the way you want -- seems like most people do. I've been working for a few days getting mod_perl-1.99.11 to work the way I need it to (I needed to add an additional flag within the ebuild to keep backwards compatibility with my mod_perl 1 system). |

Thanks for the help, I don't really care for Apache2 so I'll just follow jmusits's suggestion, it seems like I'll have a greater chance of getting Perl to work that way.
Is there anything else I need to do to get Apache to load the Perl module or to know to parse .cgi files with Perl?
edit: /etc/portage/ doesn't seem to exist, I did find /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask though, is that what you were refering to? |

You will just need to tell apache to load mod_php, mod_ssl, and mod_perl when it starts up. Do this by changing this line in /etc/conf.d/apache
| Code: | | APACHE_OPTS="-D SSL -D PHP4 -D PERL" |
and adding these lines to /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf
| Code: |
<IfDefine PHP4>
LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine PERL>
LoadModule perl_module extramodules/libperl.so
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine PHP4>
AddModule mod_php4.c
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine PERL>
AddModule mod_perl.c
</IfDefine>
Include conf/addon-modules/mod_php.conf
|
and these lines in /etc/apache/conf/commonapache.conf
| Code: |
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
PerlModule Apache::Registry
#set Apache::Registry Mode for /perl Alias
<Location /perl/*.pl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options -Indexes ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
#set Apache::PerlRun Mode for /cgi-perl Alias
<Location /cgi-perl/*.pl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
Options -Indexes ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
|
You might not have to make all these changes some might already be there, I not sure, so I just included everything. Also I remember there being some scripts to automate this, but they did not work for me.
Hope this helps.
Jason

Sorry I forgot this in my previous post, you will need to create /etc/portage

Hey thanks, I really aprecieate you trying to help me get this setup.
I added what you said but get this when trying to start Apache:
| Code: |
* Starting apache...
[Fri Apr 2 09:17:52 2004] [warn] module mod_php4.c is already added, skipping
[Fri Apr 2 09:17:52 2004] [warn] module mod_perl.c is already added, skipping
Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache/conf/addon-modules/mod_php.conf:
Invalid command 'AddType', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration [ !! ]
|
I can start Apache using the default config files, and PHP works then, but Perl doesn't. I get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access a .cgi file. Any idea whats going on? I thought something along the lines of the perl and php modules are already being called somewhere else before what I added is ran, searching for php and perl in the config files shows up this in commonapache.conf:
| Code: |
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
<Location /perl-status>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
#Allow from .your_domain.com
</Location>
</IfModule>
... and ...
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
<Directory /home/*/public_html/perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
Options -Indexes ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
</Directory>
</IfModule>
|
Oh, and my perl scripts are pointing to /usr/bin/perl, I'm pretty sure thats right.
edit: I tried putting the script in the /cgi-bin directory rather than just htdocs, now I get a 500 Internal Server Error while calling the "test-cgi" script from the /cgi-bin folder (or any perl script) rather than the 403 error. |
