Well, we have a fairly large apache-modperl site currently running fine =
on older versions... apache1.something, modperl 1.something
But we're faced with needing to migrate to apache2/modperl2 (or, 1.99 as =
it were). It'll be a long road of fixes and updates, but right now I'm =
hitting a wall with the very conf of the site as it sits on our ap2.mp2 =
host. =20
Here is our entry in the main httpd.conf ... note, i 'blah'ed out the =
name just for good measure.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/blah/www
<Directory "/home/blah/www">

Order allow,deny

#Options +ExecCGI

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>

.....
apologies for the lengthiness... its been modified by a handful of =
people who are no longer around, and I'm not apache guru... my days are =
absorbed in the perl, but being the only one present right now, I have =
to deal with this.
The above references a number of files including our local conf which =
has dozens of entries like this:
<Location /helpform>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler BLAH::HelpForm
PerlAccessHandler BLAH::Auth
PerlSetVar Authzone BLAH
PerlSetVar BLAHlevel 1
</Location>
... these would tie into an auth system to recognize user types we use =
routinely... nothing anyone need worry about. =20
The problem is, under apach2/modperl2, it acts as if it doesn't even see =
our inner configuration file...=20
All I get is:
Directory index forbidden by rule: /home/blah/www/
and any reference to /helpform or any of the other sections (each run by =
a modperl handler) results in the system remarking that it has no idea =
what I'm talking about.
Has anyone been through something similar? Has there been a significant =
change in how this aspect of the server works? Any ideas or even =
references to documentations that may go over this? I've been trolling =
for about 8 hours now on this without my brain wrapping around anything =
in particular.
