I am using this setting:

PerlSetVar NoState 1

So, I don't think your suggestion will help.

Don't know if this will help, but try "rm -rf /tmp/asp".  (Assuming
you're using the default State DB setup.)  Then restart Apache.  If the

MP gurus,

I recently deployed a site using Apache::ASP.  I am running up against
a problem that has left me scratching my head.  The site works fine on
the development server.  However, on the production server, my error_log
fills with these messages:

[Mon Nov 10 19:44:59 2008] [error] [asp] [7796] [error] Undefined subroutine
&Apache::ASP::Compiles::__ASP__srv_http_www_e_ample_com__x::get_image_data
called at /srv/http/www.example.com/templates/masthead.tmpl line 2. <--> ,
/usr/share/perl5/Apache/ASP.pm line 1521

(I have attached the complete error log output, with debugging enabled,
for a failed request to this email.)

The odd thing is that it is apparently intermittent.  Sometimes, the
error happens and a 500 error page is returned.  Other times, the page
loads as expected.

Both servers (development and production) are running Debian Etch with
Apache 2.2.3, mod_perl 2.0.2, and Apache::ASP 2.59 (all stock versions
shipped with Debian Etch).

The code that is generating the error is this:

<%
my %img_data = get_image_data('masthead.png');
%>

My DocumentRoot is /srv/http/www.example.com and I have a directory
called /srv/http/www.example.com/Example which has my Perl modules in
it.  One of the modules is called Image.pm and it has a function called
get_image_data().  In my global.asa I have "use Example::Image;".

Something that also does not make sense to me is that if I change the
document root to something like /srv/http/example or /srv/http/site,
then the error appears to never happen.  I have tested this by using
both alternate document roots for about two weeks each and it appears to
not have a problem in either case.

There are two very strange things about this whole situation.  On the
(nearly) identically configured development server, I never get the
above error.  I have another site (one that is actually in production,
as opposed to the example site) that uses a similar scheme on the same
production server and it does not have this problem.

Regards,

-Roberto

Hello.

My scenario is client "calling" server1 and server1 is "calling", by
xmlHTTPRequest, to server2.
server2 has to return xml data to server1 and to the client.
my general broblem is cross-domain, as server1 and server2 are not in the
same domain.

Could you, please, clear this for me:
Is APACHE, configured on server1, as proxy is operating as the client
calling server1, or its action is when server1 is requesting server2?
What I need is the second option.

Currently, I have HTML page on server1 and ASP on server2. any other better
options?

Thanks.

FWIW, I second this. I have had several hosting packages which used the
Plesk control panel, which promises Apache::ASP support. Inevitably the
Apache::ASP configuration specified in the read-only vhost.conf file
would be wrong. For example, having PerlSetVar Global /tmp, but not
allowing access to /tmp via FTP, so no easy way to create/edit global.asa

While it was possible to ask the hosting provider to make manual changes
to the vhost configuration files, these changes would get lost every
time they upgraded the systems. Plus there was no way for me to restart
Apache if I made a change to a Perl .pm library.

Now have my own server and not looked back since.

Good luck!

-Chris

This is the problem with these control panels which aim to make things
"easy".  It's only easy if you only want to do exactly what they've
already provided.  Once you step off their path, you end up fighting the
control panel because they've f'd the base OS stuff up something good.

Me, hard bitten and gun shy?  Oh yeah you betcha.

So, you can continue trying to make the thing do what it doesn't want to
do, or you can move web service to a plain old VPS with a default OS
install.  Then you'll find that all the instructions start working,
because the instructions were written with the assumption that you're
working with a sane OS.

Initially painful?  Oh yes.  Better in the long term?  Much.

Hi all,

Hello to everyone. :)

I have a WHM/cpanel server running RHEL4 and apache 2.2.

I used to have a working ASP (using cpanels apache-asp.sea (which is now
obsolete)) with apache 1.3 but since upgrading I can't get it working
with 2.2.

I can run asp-perl from shell and asp works but not in the browser.

I've googled and read for days but I'm still unsure of what I'm missing,
I had mod-perl 1 which I have now uninstalled and am unable to install
mod-perl 2 via easyapache3 in WHM (errors out).

This link http://www.apache-asp.org/cgi.html explains how to use
Apache::ASP without mod-perl and I have tried but it only seems to be
for apache 1.

I'm at my wits end.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks
tom

Thanks a bunch! I'll get right on these configuration changes, and let you
know how they worked out.

I had a feeling (being so inexperienced with Apache configuration) that it
wasn't even set up. Somehow, being a long-time Windows user, I sort of
expected the installer to take care of basic configuration.

I will definitely look into what global.asa does and where to put it, as
well as how to secure it. Thanks!

<Directory "D:\Xxxxxxx\xxxxxx"> refers to the home directory of my website
(the names were changed to protect the innocent) and they do work.

I will also look into what State.Dir is.

Since this is a Windows box...yes, it's probably using the system user by
default.

Thanks again.

That means Apache::ASP isn't even being called for the page, which is an
Apache configuration problem, not a problem with Apache::ASP.  (Problems
with Apache::ASP or the ASP pages themselves show up as complaints in
error_log.)

In all of what you posted about your httpd.conf contents, I don't see
that you've actually configured Apache to use Apache::ASP.  This is from
the top of the configuration section of the manual:

PerlModule Apache::ASP
<Files ~ (\.asp)>
     SetHandler  perl-script
     PerlHandler Apache::ASP
     PerlSetVar  Global .
     PerlSetVar  StateDir /tmp/asp
</Files>

I posted something much like it in my initial reply to you.  It applies
just as well on Windows as on Linux.  Apache is Apache.

> I don't seem to have a global.asa file anywhere on the server.

I don't know that Apache::ASP fails to work without it, but you do want
it.  Here's the default one:

	 http://apache-asp.org/eg/global.asa

Search for global.asa on apache-asp.org for more on what it does.

Also see the documentation for the Global configuration option to see
how to change where global.asa lives:

	 http://apache-asp.org/config.html#Global

In the snippet above, it appears it's telling Apache::ASP to look in the
same directory as your .asp files, which may not be a good thing if you
want the contents of your global.asa to be secret.  You can use the
Global directive to put global.asa outside the document tree, so Apache
won't serve it.  Alternately, you can configure Apache to never serve *.asa.

The user that Apache runs under.  It might not be your user account.  If
you run it as a Windows service, by default, it runs as the SYSTEM user.

Sorry for the personal reply. I'm not used to this list yet.

In the browser, I get the asp script.

In the error log, I get nothing. (It seems the server thinks it's cool to
just throw the script out there.)

I don't seem to have a global.asa file anywhere on the server. (Did a search
for it...came up empty.)

Directories:

	 <Directory "D:\Xxxxxxx\xxxxxx">
		 Options FollowSymlinks  Includes
		 AllowOverride None
		 Order allow,deny
		 Allow from all
	 </Directory>

That directory is the "home" directory for my site. It contains index.php
and several other php scripts

<Directory "C:/IndigoPerl/apache/htdocs">
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

That directory is what came pre-installed on IndigoPerl as the "home".
There's nothing there.

<Directory "C:/IndigoPerl/apache/cgi-bin">
     AllowOverride None
     Options None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "C:/IndigoPerl/php">
	 AllowOverride None
	 Options None
	 Order allow,deny
	 Allow from all
</Directory>

The previous two directories seem to be where Apache is supposed to look for
cgi's or php.exe.

<Directory "C:/IndigoPerl/apache/htdocs">
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI +Includes
</Directory>

That one seems to tell Apache that in htdocs which options to use.

<Directory "C:/IndigoPerl/apache/htdocs">
   <IfModule mod_perl.c>
     # Files directive is only valid in Directory section
     <Files ~ "\.(pl|cgi)$">
         SetHandler perl-script
         PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
         Options ExecCGI
         allow from all
         PerlSendHeader On
     </Files>
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

That one seems to tell Apache how to handle Perl scripts in the htdocs
directory.

As for permissions, all of the directories above seem to be configured
properly...at least as far as I understand Apache.

What is the StateDir? Never heard of it.

By "the httpd user" to whom do you refer?

Thanks.

What do you get in the browser?

What do you get in Apache's error log?

What does your global.asa file contain, and where is it?

Can you post the relevant sections of your httpd.conf file, and say what
is in all of the directories it references?

Do all of these directories have appropriate permissions?  Especially,
does the StateDir exist, and is it writeable by the httpd user?

There is an answer, but it's the wrong question.  If you configure
Apache::ASP to run on the server as a whole and it doesn't work,
restricting it to a single directory won't make it work.

Once you get ASP working globally, we can talk about tightening it down
to a single directory.  Let's not complicate things yet.

The thing that strikes me is that asking for a particular key works as
expected.
Can I port the stored keys with

tie %A, "SDBM_File", "application", O_RDONLY, 0660;
tie %B, "DB_File", "new/application", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0660, $DB_HASH ;
%B = %A;
untie %A;
untie %B;

and restart apache ?

Also, GDBM_File looks a little faster than DB_File. Would I want to use
that instead ?

> Any suggestions? (other than put it on a xxnix box)

The common wisdom says that Windows is easier to use.  In a lot of
cases, this is true.

This is not one of those cases.  Apache::ASP is a native of *ix systems,
and so it's far easier to install it there.  You usually don't have to
set up Apache, mod_perl, or compilers on a Linux box...they're just
assumed to be there, already working, or at least easy to install.  The
lack of this support environment is what you're running into on Windows.

Even if you have an absolute requirement to use Windows for the final
product, I would suggest getting started with Linux first.  That will
give you necessary experience with Apache and Apache::ASP which will
help you to understand the Windows instructions.

You don't have to get dedicated hardware for this, or install Linux.
You can download all this, ready to go.  First, get VMware Player, here:

	 http://www.vmware.com/download/player/download.html

Now we need a VM.  Download VA-LAMP-vmware-*.zip from:

	 http://virtualappliances.net/download/vmware/

This VM is set up for basic Apache serving already.  There are several
more steps required to add Apache::ASP support, but all are easy.  It
might take 15 minutes, all told.

0. Install VMware Player.  It wants to reboot the host machine, but it
isn't really necessary.

1. Extract the contents of the VM zip file to the place you want the VM
to live.  You'll need 2.5 GB of disk space.

2. Open the VA-LAMP folder and double-click the VA-LAMP.vmx file you
find inside.  This will start the VM in VMware Player.

3. After the VM boots -- it won't take long! -- you'll see it report the
IP address that your LAN's DHCP server assigned it.  Write it down.  For
the sake of the discussion below, we'll say it's 192.168.0.42

4. Put that IP address into a web browser to test that the VM is
working.  You should see the VM's welcome page.

5. Say Start > Run and put \\192.168.0.42\wwwroot into the Open field
and hit Enter.  This will connect to the directory holding the content
being served from the VM by Apache.  Log in as admin/admin when
prompted.  You should see index.html.  Delete it, or move it off the VM.

6. Now we have to create the new Apache configuration file, and it's
easier to do it in Windows and transfer it over, rather than transcribe
it into the VM directly.  You'll need a Unix-aware text editor for this.
   If you don't have one, I can recommend Notepad++, which is free:

	 http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/

Paste the text below into a new text file, adjusting the first two lines
as desired.  If you're using Notepad++, say Format > Convert to UNIX
Format.  Then save it out as \\192.168.0.42\wwwroot\asp.conf to write a
copy of the new configuration file to the VM's virtual hard disk.

-------------- 8< ---------- cut here --------- 8< -------------

ServerAdmin your@...

          PerlSetVar Global /var/www/html
          PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp
      </Files>
</IfModule>

-------------- 8< ---------- cut here --------- 8< -------------

7. Click back into the VMware Player window, log in as root/root, and
give the following commands to set up Apache.  First, we'll blow away
the default Apache config and put our new one in its place:

	 # cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
	 # rm *
	 # mv /var/www/html/asp.conf ../sites-available
	 # ln -s ../sites-available/asp.conf .

We've started with a minimal VM, so we don't have the C compilers and
such on the system yet.  Let's go get 'em:

	 # apt-get update
	 # apt-get install build-essential

Now we need to set up CPAN:

	 # cpan

Answer the configuration questions, accepting all defaults.

Now we can install Apache::ASP and its prerequisites:

	 cpan> install Bundle::Apache::ASP
	 cpan> exit

Now, the clincher: we need to restart Apache, to load our new configuration:

	 # apache2ctl restart

This should run quickly and silently.  It if complains, you did
something incorrect above.

9. Pop out of the VM (Ctrl-Alt), open your Unix-aware text editor again,
ensure it's in Unix line ending mode, and write this:

	 <% print "Hello, world!" %>

Save it out as \\192.168.0.42\wwwroot\index.asp and hit the refresh
button in your web browser.  The page should change to say "Hello,
world!"  If so, congratulations, Apache::ASP is working.  Continue on
with the examples at http://apache-asp.org/eg/

If all of this is too much for you to deal with, best just use Windows'
own flavor of ASP.

Hi list,

I have a rather strange issue:
I came across a 102 MB $Application object, which contains several
little key => arrayref_value elements.
The keys are usually HTTP_USER_AGENTs and the values 2 fairly short strings.
I'm using MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File.
Curiously, scalar(keys(%{$Application})) returns just 4 elements and
indeed iterating over keys returns only 4.
Problem is, when running from the command line on a plain copy, it
correctly returns both the number of elements and their keys/values.
Any idea what might be wrong ?

Interesting question, but since it's a static build, I'd have to
recompile apache to find that out.
I'd rather not do that right now, unless we're all out of ideas.

What happens if you use mod_deflate instead?

Hi list,

I have a virtual host that produces plain XML (no XSLT needed, defined
or used).
The resulting files are quite large, so I thought I'd save some
bandwidth and enable CompressGzip on that specific directory.
There was no error 500, just some garbled output. I could make out some
``Can't upgrade that kind of scalar'' messages in the output, but apache
registered status 200 even for the (obviously) failed hits.

The only configuration directive that seemed to make a difference was:
<Directory /blah/blah/rdfs>
PerlSetVar CompressGzip 1
</Directory>
Removing this resulted in the files being sent as they were supposed to.

Best Regards,
Thanos Chatziathanassiou

Just check out the below url.it consist of step by step process of
installation of asp in Apache.

Its pretty odd.

The only references to this I find are libxml and libxslt using by XML::LibXML

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aof\
ficial&hs=kgF&q=%22compilation+error%3A+file+unknown%22+element+output&btnG=Sear\

You might be using XSLT functionality with Apache::ASP?  Maybe there
is libxml used in your apache somewhere else?

Josh

You're right, I am. After several adventures with XML::Sablotron, I
switched to XML::LibXML for our XSLT needs, mainly due to better error
handling/reporting.
It might be faster too, but not so much as to be noticeable.
Still, I've run into quite few problems getting both of them and their
respective perl modules to work.
(e.g. if you recall ``XML::LibXSLT violent death'' from 29/03/2007)
I have upgraded to apache-1.3.39 with mod_perl/1.30 recently...maybe
this has something to do with. I'll investigate further and report my
findings.
Thanks for the tip.

without further info.
The error message is always like this, with only the
``unknown-XXXXXXXXXXXX'' part different. Comparing this to the
access.log doesn't reveal any erred requests, i.e. all entries around
that time are 200's or 304's.
The lack of a timestamp on the message does not make me very confident
about the no-errors part, but this is as far as I could see.

Anyone know who/what might by emitting these messages (google did return
something about HTML::FormValidator::Results and HTML::Lint, but I'm not
