[Catalyst] Configuring Apache for mod_perl Catalyst and php via mod_proxy

[matthew couchman (JIC)]

Hi,

I'm currently running a couple of Catalyst applications configured as VirtualHosts in Apache. I have some php software that I'd like to serve from the same server but I've discovered that php and mod_perl don't seem to get along in the same Apache instance.

Mod_proxy looks like a good solution and I've made some progress by following http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RunningMultipleApacheInstances. That page suggests that the proxy httpd might be configured something like this:

# httpd-proxy.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /www/wordpress
  ServerName blog.company.com
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:81/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:81/
  [... additional directives here ... ]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /www/svn
  ServerName svn.company.com
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:82/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:82/
  [... additional directives here ... ]
</VirtualHost>

And the mod_perl httpd as:


# httpd-perl.conf

 Listen 81

 ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-perl-error.log

 LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache22/mod_perl.so

Which, if I am only running one host on the mod_perl server, works perfectly well. I'd like to tweak it further to redirect to the various VirtualHosts that I have been running with mod_perl alone but I'm not familiar enough with Apache to know how. Could anyone offer advice?

Thanks very much,

                                Matt.
