[freeside] setup help (Mason & Apache problem)

[Vlad Sedov]

FYI, It really is easier to go the Apache::ASP route.... not nearly as
many hiccups as with Mason.


Later,

Vlad

Howdy list,

I'm a fairly accomplished FreeBSD sys admin with
a decent knowledge of Perl, but I've just installed
a TON of modules I've never used before, including
Mason, so please bear with me and push me in the
right direction...

I get the following error when I try to load apache
with my httpd-freeside.conf:

------ begin output ------
[12:55]jesse at cvsup:[/usr/local/etc/freeside]#
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -f
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd-freeside.conf
Syntax error on line 475 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd-freeside.conf:
The following parameter was passed in the call to
HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler::new but was not listed in the validation
options: data_dir
 at /usr/local/etc/freeside/handler.pl line 38
Compilation failed in require at
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd-freeside.conf line 474.

Exit 1
------ end output ------


I am using FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
with Apache 1.3.27
and mod_perl 1.27 compiled STATICALLY into apache

And I am trying to get freeside-1.4.1rc3 working.


I have the following in my httpd-freeside.conf:

PerlModule HTML::Mason
<Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside-mason>
<Files ~ (\.cgi)>
AddHandler perl-script .cgi
PerlHandler HTML::Mason
</Files>
<Perl>
require "/usr/local/etc/freeside/handler.pl";
</Perl>
</Directory>

And /usr/local/etc/freeside/handler.pl is a slightly
modified version of htetc/handler.pl that came with
Freeside. Here's a diff:

Any ideas?

Thanks!
