Embperl::Object environment variables

Post #1 of 4 (2949 views)

Now that I can build (thanks Gerald) I'm trying to set up an
object oriented page hierarchy. I get the basics to work.
However, the environment settings in my Apache <VirtualHost>
section don't appear to be having any effect. For example,
I set logging levels and get nothing and I have to use the
default object base '_base.epl' instead of the sample I set
up 'base.epl' (and I've tried other names). I changed other
settings in the <VirtualHost> to verity it's getting used as
a whole. Those changes did take effect. That leads me to
believe I need some other Embperl setting. My <VirtualHost>
section looks like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName secdevfdsapp01.gspt.net
ServerAdmin sapovitss@xxxxxx.com
DocumentRoot /feeds/htdocs
DirectoryIndex index.html
ErrorLog logs/error_log
TransferLog logs/access_log
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_ESCMODE 0
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_MAILHOST localhost
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.epl
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_FALLBACK notfound.html
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 10477
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_VIRTLOG 10477
</VirtualHost>

I've changed things like DocumentRoot to test the overall
use of the section.

Any ideas appreciated. As noted before, this is Apache 2.2.0,
Embperl 2.2.0, mod_perl 2.0.2.

I believe the preferred method of setting things with Embperl 2.x and
Apache 2.x is NOT to use PerlSetEnv but to use things like

Embperl_Object_Base base.epl

rather than

PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.epl

This is because by default, Embperl 2.x using mod_perl does not get its
settings from the environment (unlike 1.x)

If you want it to use the environment, you have to set

Embperl_Useenv

to true.

Thanks Kathryn. This led me down the right path. A few pointers for
anyone else hitting this, all of which I eventually found in the docs

but which may be useful to summarize:

(1) I was missing the 'LoadModule embperl_module' directive.

(2) I was missing the 'PerlModule Embperl' directive.

(3) I needed to add a EMBPERL_APPNAME setting within my <VirtualHost>
set of Embperl settings (at the top). The docs explain the need
for this with Apache/mod_perl 2.

Thanks again.

Steve,

Hey just a note on the DirectoryIndex line. Mod_perl does something to the
DirectoryIndex variable. It doesn't work. I found a couple websites with a
work around.

What I am using is the mod_rewrite and the following lines:
ReWriteEngine on
ReWriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1/index.html
