I have the thankless task of getting an application written with perl to run on one of our F38 servers.
The application was developed around 2005 or so, last changes around 2012, the developer is long gone from the university and the colleagues whose (long term) project use the application know nothing except how to use the finished system. It was running on an external DomainFactory web space, which has now been terminated at short notice and I only have the backup, no configuration information. The last time I used perl was more than a decade ago. Those were the times. I installed a fresh VM as default and added https and mod_perl. The problem is: The html pages show up nicely, the perl scripts are downloaded automatically. The Perl scripts are scattered around in DocumentRoot and various subdirs and sub-subdirs. So they are not all in one cgi directory. I faintly remember having to enable directories for Perl. I guess that mod_perl basically already does that as usual in Fedora. As far as I have found information, everything is based on a dedicated cgi directory, where all scripts are located and executed. But there must be another way, at least the application worked a week ago as it is. When the application is running again, I will banish it to a container behind a proxy. So security issues are somewhat relaxed. Any help greatly appreciated. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy p...@fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST /UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora Docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
