mod_perl: modules not running? Ben Hopkins 08-30-2004

I'm running RH 8, apache 1.3.23, mod_perl 1.29. They wanted me to
install a CMS (Plone) that uses Zope, which requires that I put
mod_proxy into the apache setup. So I redid the apache ./configure
(forgetting about mod_perl for the moment).

Then I remembered about mod_perl, learned about APACI args and
everything, and it make'd just fine all the way through the install.
Except for one problem: my mod_perl modules are not running. I have a
module defined as a PerlHandler for location "/" which inserts a bit of
javascript into each outgoing html doc, and another PerlAuthenHandler
for a directory they wanted protected. Neither of those runs anymore.
No error messages in the logs, either.

I configured it like this:

$ perl Makefile.PL `cat make_args`

--where make_args looks like this:

USE_APACI=1
EVERYTHING=1
DO_HTTPD=1
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.23/src
APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=proxy,--enable-module=rewrite,--enable-module=speling,--enable-module=so,--prefix=/usr/local/apache

Here is the revelant part of httpd.conf:

PerlRequire conf/startup.pl
PerlFreshRestart On

PerlModule Apache::AuthPwd

<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::putInJava
</Location>

<Location /howdy>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::HelloWorld
</Location>

<Location /secret>
AuthName " -- Use your regular name in the User Name field -- "
AuthType Basic
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthPwd
require valid-user
</Location>

(The /howdy location was thrown in at the last minute as a test -- it
didn't work.)

Here is httpd -l output:

Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_env.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_mime.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_status.c
mod_include.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_dir.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_asis.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_speling.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_rewrite.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_proxy.c
mod_expires.c
mod_so.c
mod_setenvif.c
mod_perl.c

And I wrote a little script to print the contents of Apache::MyConfig,
which says,

What am I doing wrong?
