Hi all,
I have a serious problem with sethandler perl-script not working.
For testing I have enabled perl-status:

<Location /perl-status>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler Apache2::Status
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Location>

=2E..but I'm still getting 404 for the URL. I'm definitely reading the
file as adding a syntax error in the above causes httpd -t to fail. It
is quite a complex install though with Drupal and Scalix (which uses
tomcat and ajp proxy). Can anyone suggest how to go about fixing this?

Thanks

Don't worry about the allow from all, it's a private box and I'll remove
it again.

Can you post the error message(s)? Theres nothing obviously wrong with
what you've got there.

It sounds like something else in your config is intercepting the URL.
Try removing other things one chunk at a time until this works.

Alternatively, you might be sending your requests to the wrong server
or virtual server.

I tried stripping everything out as suggested and ended up with only the
basic httpd.conf and perl.conf installed, still no joy. Why is it
looking for index.php when I'm assking for a perl script? Config in
pastebin.

thanks

You happen to have a redirect rule at line 101 that looks like:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

are you sure that is correct?

Sorry, forgot to strip out. Was commented out for test and I had to put
it back to get my site working. RewriteEngine wasn't on anyway and I was
watching rewritelog (level 9) as well as access_log and error_log so no
rewrite there

There's still a ton of stuff in there. You need to take all of the
Files, Location, and Directory stuff out to find the culprit.

My wild guess is that if you move this block to the bottom, it will work.

Is that rewrite rule (~line 101) turning everything into an index.php?

Sorry, I had taken that out to test but forgot to strip from the
pastebin. That's there for
Drupal which is just a huge clever 404 script.
