Catalyst apache2 mod_perl 1.99x engine
# Set up your Catalyst app as a mod_perl 1.99x application in httpd.conf PerlSwitches -I/var/www/MyApp/lib # Preload your entire application PerlModule MyApp <VirtualHost *> ServerName myapp.hostname.com DocumentRoot /var/www/MyApp/root <Location /> SetHandler modperl PerlResponseHandler MyApp </Location> # you can also run your app in any non-root location <Location /some/other/path> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler MyApp </Location> # Make sure to let Apache handle your static files # (It is not necessary to remove the Static::Simple plugin # in production; Apache will bypass Static::Simple if # configured in this way) <Location /static> SetHandler default-handler </Location> # If not running at a root location in a VirtualHost, # you'll probably need to set an Alias to the location # of your static files, and allow access to this location: Alias /myapp/static /filesystem/path/to/MyApp/root/static <Directory /filesystem/path/to/MyApp/root/static> allow from all </Directory> <Location /myapp/static> SetHandler default-handler </Location> </VirtualHost>
This is the Catalyst engine specialized for Apache2 mod_perl version 1.99x.
mod_perl 1.99 was the beta version for mod_perl 2.0. Upgrading to 2.0 is strongly recommended.
In order to run Catalyst under mod_perl 1.99 you will need to downgrade \s-1CGI\s0 to version 3.07, as it has dropped support for 1.99 in later versions.
While this method is not recommended, you can also run your Catalyst application via a ModPerl::Registry script.
httpd.conf:
PerlModule ModPerl::Registry Alias / /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_registry.pl/
<Directory /var/www/MyApp/script> Options +ExecCGI </Directory>
<Location /> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry </Location>
script/myapp_registry.pl (you will need to create this):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings; use MyApp;
MyApp->handle_request( Apache::RequestUtil->request );
Catalyst, Catalyst::Engine, Catalyst::Engine::Apache2.
