Bug #7413 for Kwiki-ModPerl: Problems with Apache configuration

Subject:

Problems with Apache configuration

I ran into the issue mentioned in the POD regarding seeing the source for the Kwiki index.cgi. The issue can be solved (on Apache 2 at least) with the following configuration. The change is to use Directory rather than Location. <Directory /kwiki> SetHandler perl-script PerlSetVar KwikiBaseDir /path/to/webroot/kwiki PerlHandler +Kwiki::ModPerl </Directory>

I'm afraid that I'm very unfamiliar with Apache 2. Does <Directory> actually change meaning from version 1 to version 2? In version 1, your example would affect a "kwiki" directory at the root of the filesystem. In Apache 1, it also ends up executing the CGI script, which is not what we want to do. -- Ian Langworth Project Guerrilla Northeastern University College of Computer and Information Science

Shoot, you're right. The problem I ran into (I'm now looking at version 0.03), is line 31. As shown in the documentation, I set the KwikiBaseDir to /path/to/webroot/kwiki. Unfortunately, $r->filename had /path/to/webroot/kwiki/ for me, so I kept receiving a not found. Is this a documentation issue or a subtle difference between mod_perl 1 and 2?

Crud, I was afraid of this. Show quoted text

I think so. I've tried creating a patch for this -- try this module out: http://langworth.com/downloads/tmp/Kwiki-ModPerl-0.04_01.tar.gz -- Ian Langworth Project Guerrilla Northeastern University College of Computer and Information Science
