<br>
When setting up FastCGI in Apache,<br>
you have something like:<br>
<br>
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c><br>
FastCgiExternalServer<br>
/home/username/public_html/myapp/script/<a href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">myapp_fastcgi.pl</a> -host<br>
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com:55900" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mydomain.com:55900</a><br>
Alias / /home/username/public_html/myapp/script/<a href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">myapp_fastcgi.pl/</a><br>
</IfModule><br>
<br>
...in your virtual host configuation.<br>
(Because I have CPanel on my Apache server, I'm not editing the httpd.conf<br>
file directly. Rather the httpd.conf file links to some include files, so I<br>
just edit the include files.)<br>
<br>
I realised the Alias bit, was making any URL from the domain name, go to the<br>
Catalyst Web App.<br>
However.... I had a few old CGIs I wanted to run.<br>
I played about a bit, trying to copy and paste the CGI code into a new<br>
Catalyst Controller... but I thought: "This is too much work".<br>
<br>
The CGIs I wanted to run were in a directory - let's pretend the directory<br>
was literally called "directory".<br>
I added a new Alias line to this part of the Apache configuration:<br>
<br>
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c><br>
FastCgiExternalServer<br>
/home/username/public_html/myapp/script/<a href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">myapp_fastcgi.pl</a> -host<br>
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com:55900" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mydomain.com:55900</a><br>
Alias /directory /home/username/public_html/directory<br>
Alias / /home/username/public_html/myapp/script/<a href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">myapp_fastcgi.pl/</a><br>
</IfModule><br>
<br>
.....Now...if the url is <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/directory" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mydomain.com/directory</a> it goes to the directory<br>
folder in my public_html folder, and serves it just as apache always did,<br>
including running the <a href="http://index.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">index.pl</a> file I had there - a cgi perl script no less!<br>
Everything else starting with <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mydomain.com</a> gets sent to my new Catalyst<br>
Web App.<br>
<br>
In short - you can setup apache aliases, to still run some CGIs in specific<br>
places, while all other URLs run your new Catalyst Web App, =).<br>
<br>
That means you can have old CGI scripts and your new Catalyst web app,<br>
running at the same domain name.<br>
As long as there's no conflict of names. I.e. any Catalyst subroutine<br>
designed to be triggered by the 'directory' path, won't get triggered, as<br>
you've redirected all such requests to your directory folder instead.<br>
<br>
I simply added a one line alias to achieve this. If there are better ways to<br>
run your old CGIs on the same server as your new Catalyst app, I'm happy to<br>
hear suggestions, =).<br>
<br>
One idea that popped into my head was to maybe setup a subdomain that isn't<br>
setup with fastcgi, and have all your old CGIs at the sub domain, running as<br>
they normally would, on what's a normal apache subdomain. And then have your<br>
Catalyst web app running at the normal web domain.<br>
So if your CGIs were part of your old website,<br>
you could have your new catalyst website at <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.mydomain.com</a> and your<br>
old cgi website at <a href="http://old.mydomain.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://old.mydomain.com</a><br>
Then you wouldn't have the conflict of names problem.<br>
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/directory" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.mydomain.com/directory</a><br>
and<br>
<a href="http://old.mydomain.com/directory" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://old.mydomain.com/directory</a><br>
...could both give different responses.<br>
<br>
Some food for thought, =).<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
Andrew.<br>

Good information, Andrew--thanks!<br>

<br>
What I meant was I run multiple hosts (known as virtual hosts) on a<br>
single instance of Apache on a single server. Your operation on a<br>
shared host is similar, so your answer was helpful.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
