mod_perl Installed?

[jonas]

How do I know if mod_perl is installed?

I fallowed the advice at the mod_perl homepage :
http://perl.apache.org/guide/start.html

(cgi example http://www.kapellet.org/cgi-bin/tester/test.pl ) But, there was nothing about mod_perl. Did I missunderstand something or?

Cheers!, and keep up the good work.

When in doubt... telnet into your account and type man mod_perl

It's in there http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

You won't find mod_perl in the primaries at the moment - hence the name of the Apache Daemon == httpd-FQuest-nomod...

This was taken out of the frontend primaries, and planned for moving to the backend servers... We were having resource problems, waiting for the new server to come in - and this was one measure that was taken to reduce the memory consumption...

All mod_perl was used internally by myself for FutureQuest...

I hope to bring online the mod_perl backend very soon, as there are some very pressing needs at the moment, I am addressing those first... e.g. MySQL - PHP3 - SSL...

If you have serious need for mod_perl, I can fire up the httpd-FQuest (mod_perl) daemon mapping your /perl/ directory into it...

The problem at this point is time...
Priority List: (all with more or less same level of need)
1) ApacheSSL
2) PHP3 w/ MySQL
3) ez-MLM w/ CNC GUI interface
4) MiniVend shopping cart

It was also removed because people have to write *specifically* to the mod_perl environment, and no one had done that as of yet, other than myself... Whatever mod_perl I had running for FutureQuest, was converted to mod_rewrite capability - and nonetheless provided the same results...

I hope this clarifies the matter... Don't get me wrong, mod_perl is awesome to use and I *do* plan on getting in back in place...

FutureQuest is growing and restructuring internally to meet that growth - mod_perl was one of those items that has been removed for reimplementation later due to it's non-usage...

PS: You will find mod_perl running on one of our other Apache servers that was specifically designed for this customer... Point your test script at 'www.dhearts.org' and you will find the original FQuest mod_perl daemon that was running up until mid-November...

Ok, that explain things around here :-), the reason why I need mod_perl is that we are working on a 'news' site (In swedish), that uses mysql and mod_perl to work.

By Using mod_perl instead of using CGI scripts, I will reduce the power requierd to access the database. (And no this isn't a heavy traffic site :-) )

And the last thing is that we using some slashdot.org code to get everything to run :-)

Is it possible to let the 'FQuest/1.0.1 (Linux) ' point to our 'www' directory ?,
we really need it :-)

Cheers!, and keep up the good work.

Does the Slash code require mod_perl & mysql? I have a site scheduled for creation in Q1 of 1999 that may be using that code, but I'm still not sure... it IS rather server-intensive, and I'm still investigating static html pages generated periodically, as a better way of doing things.

(i.e., news page is flat, UBB for forums, Links-from gossamer-threads- for link index)... That would keep just about everything static rather than pounding the server for every access.)

btw, Terra and Deb, I'm very hopeful about hosting that site here. http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

I would like to request the URL's for the SlashDot.org's programs that you are referring to...

I found this url:
http://www.slashdot.org/code.shtml but not 100% positive which program...

Thanks...

It's the Slash v.02 code that I think he's referring to. That's what I was talking about. http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

You've got the right URL.

Hey teRRa (Prolly off work now :P) I was wondering what you opinion on using the Slashdot stuff on FQ? I was looking at the doc. for it.. looks interesting..Just wondering if it was possible on FQ or would it be better off on a dedicated server?
Happy bday.

I have not looked at the 'slashdot' code in a while, so I am not sure of it's dependence on mod_perl...

Officially, it's unlikely that mod_perl will ever be available for the Community Servers due to memory consumption and security issues...

Unofficially, I am toying around with implementing mod_perl as a VAS option for the High Capacity (HC) systems, since each domain will have their own private Apache daemon...

If you do plan on a large 'SlashDot' driven site, then I would recommend a DS system as the underlying core is under your full control...

Yeh I was thinking it would be better on a ds then community server.. Any more news on the ds? Didn't mean to bring an old topic back was just curious about it..
Thanks TeRRa, btw did you have a swell bday? Hope ya did :)

PHPslash looks to be the answer - they are basically porting the /. code over to php.

Looks pretty good - although some of the features are missing.

PHPSlash is housed at the phplib homepage.

Man that site operates quickly.

I was toying with a /. driven site but the demands were a bit intimidating. Any thoughts on the PHP version??

I found one link to the source:

Hi,
What's the latest on whether mod_perl is installed? There was mention back in 99 by ccTech[nbsp][nbsp]" Slated in 3 months is bringing the Apache mod_perl " but I can't find anything since in the forum or aota.

My real question is: is there a page that lists everything that's available and any futurequest specific info needed to use it, for all the tools that are available? E.g. mod_perl, which perl modules are installed, etc.? There is AOTA, but it isn't really organized like that.[nbsp][nbsp]And I can search out some of it, e.g. I printed @INC and listed the .pm's in the[nbsp][nbsp]library directoies, but it would have been nice to see a single listing in AOTA.Searching for "perl" in AOTA didn't bring up anything like that.

I'm a newbie here and if I missed somthing dumb, my apologies.
Len

I believe this is the page you are looking for:

http://www.futurequest.net/Developers.php

[Terra]

LenKasday: Please view 'Page 1' of this thread...

In summation, several attempts were made to incorporate mod_perl into the FQuest core... mod_perl is not suited for community servers in relation to both memory requirements and security issues...

However I am toying around with mod_perl in other (undisclosed) aspects...

I have no intentions of switching my hosting companies unless its to a dedicated or co-ded enviornment, but I use www.phpwebhosting.com (http://www.phpwebhosting.com) for development work.

They have mod_perl, php, mysql - all latest versions installed for 10 bucks a month.[nbsp][nbsp]

Might be worth checking out.
