Configuring Mason ?

[Wolfie7873]

I can't seem to get Mason to operate correctly. When I do exactly what's in the documentation:

PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler

<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</Location>

Nothing happens. If I put a particular directory in the Location tag, I get a 500 error. Has this happened to anyone else?

<VirtualHost [i][b]ip address[/b]:80[/i]>
    ServerAdmin e-mail@domain.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/htdocs/domain
    ServerName domain.com
    ServerAlias [URL unfurl="true"]www.domain.com[/URL]

    PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler

    <Directory /path/to/htdocs/domain>
        <Files *.pl>
            SetHandler perl-script
            PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
            PerlSendHeader On
            Options ExecCGI
        </Files>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I tried ^ - and it didn't work either. I don't have a dedicated server box or anything. I'm just trying to get a development environment up and running so I can try my hand at a few things. What I want is to be able to test things through the localhost domain, not a solid IP address. My IP address isn't static so I wouldn't know how to define it. Any more suggestions?

Was Apache compiled with mod_perl?

Yup - it sure was. I have tested modperl, and it works. Did the whole "modperl rocks" script straight out of the documentation.

What does your httpd.conf look like?

It's the default configuration as provided during install with the following lines added to the bottom:

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/httpd-2.0/perl/
  <Location /perl/>
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
      PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
      Options +ExecCGI
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all 
  </Location>

PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler

  <Location />
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
  </Location>
