I had the same issue when I installd modperl. My solution was to put everything Perlish in the "root", with plain HTML stylesheets and images under it. So it looked like this:
/htdocs/myapp <-- executable Perl /htdocs/myapp/img <-- not executable /htdocs/myapp/css <-- not executable htdocs/myapp/html <-- not executable Then I used directory to tell Apache that the myapp was executable for perl but everything below it was not, like this: # Serves d:\htdocs\smurfbuster\index.html as http://localhost/smurfbuster/index.html Alias /myapp/ "d:/htdocs/myapp/" <Directory d:/htdocs/myapp> Order allow,deny Allow from all SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry PerlOptions +ParseHeaders Options +ExecCGI </Directory> # keep from trying to interpret as Perl for everything under myapp # note the /* on end of specified directory ... it's everything in directories BELOW myapp <Directory "d:/htdocs/myapp/*"> SetHandler default-handler </Directory> THe above code is not necessarily complete; it's copied and pasted from different part of my httpd.conf because I now use HTML::Mason and my setup has changed, but it demonstrates the basic idea. When I was new to Apache and mod_perl, the Apache doc page that described how to combined multiple directives really turned the lightbulb on, and it's probably worth reviewing: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/sections.html#mergin And I highly recommend HTML::Mason if you are going to write more than just a few web pages. http://www/masonhq.com At 09:05 AM 2/4/04 -0500, Hemond, Steve wrote: >Hi ppl, > >I have setup Apache2/mod_perl and started writing perl scripts to >generate html code. > >I have a /wood/ directory with two subdirs : /perl/ and /images/ > >Actually I have setup httpd.conf this way : > ><Directory /prog/www/wood/perl> > SetHandler perl-script > PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry > PerlOptions +ParseHeaders > Options +ExecCGI ></Directory> > >In my perl file I have this line : ><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../menu.css"></link> > >And this line: ><img src="../images/banner.jpg"></img> > >The problem is it don't go at the right place to find my image and >stylesheet.
