Re: index.pl not default, even when specified

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 05:43:27 -0700

This is a little over my head......is it really the solution to my problem?  Does this mean the problem lies with ModPerl::RegistryPrefork?

There has to be a better way to have index.pl show up as default!  However, if you tell me there isn't, I shall begin learning about this and pursuing it further.

Does anyone out there have index.pl coming up as default in a vhost and can share their httpd.conf file?

solution.
    

Hello Dickon,
 I was intrigued by your dilemma and I tried unsuccessfully to get my own
apache program to serve something other than index.html as the default page.
So I gave up on forcing another file to show and used a module to serve a
page instead.

Using this <Directory in my Apache config file: 
################################################
<Directory />
  SetHandler modperl
  PerlResponseHandler Apache2::Hello
     Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
     PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
     AllowOverride None
</Directory>

##########and my Hello.pm file is as follows:

package Apache2::Hello;
use strict;
use Apache2::RequestRec ();  # for $r->content_type
use Apache2::RequestIO ();   # for $r->puts
use Apache2::Const -compile => ':common';
sub handler {
    my $r = shift;
    my $time = scalar localtime();
    my $package = __PACKAGE__;
    $r->content_type('text/html');
    $r->puts(<<"END");
    <html><body>Hello World.</body></html>
END
  return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
  1;
