<BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote
style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Just
discovered something else that's pretty cool.<BR><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
target=_blank href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl"
rel=noreferrer>myapp_fastcgi.pl</A> -host<BR><A target=_blank
href="http://www.mydomain.com:55900"
rel=noreferrer>www.mydomain.com:55900</A><BR>Alias /
/home/username/public_html/myapp/script/<A target=_blank
href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl/"
rel=noreferrer>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
target=_blank href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl"
rel=noreferrer>myapp_fastcgi.pl</A> -host<BR><A target=_blank
href="http://www.mydomain.com:55900"
rel=noreferrer>www.mydomain.com:55900</A><BR>Alias /directory
/home/username/public_html/directory<BR>Alias /
/home/username/public_html/myapp/script/<A target=_blank
href="http://myapp_fastcgi.pl/"
rel=noreferrer>myapp_fastcgi.pl/</A><BR></IfModule><BR><BR>.....Now...if
the url is <A target=_blank href="http://www.mydomain.com/directory"
rel=noreferrer>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 target=_blank href="http://index.pl"
rel=noreferrer>index.pl</A> file I had there - a cgi perl script no
less!<BR>Everything else starting with <A target=_blank
href="http://www.mydomain.com" rel=noreferrer>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 target=_blank href="http://www.mydomain.com"
rel=noreferrer>http://www.mydomain.com</A> and your<BR>old cgi website at <A
target=_blank href="http://old.mydomain.com"
rel=noreferrer>http://old.mydomain.com</A><BR>Then you wouldn't have the
conflict of names problem.<BR><A target=_blank
href="http://www.mydomain.com/directory"
rel=noreferrer>http://www.mydomain.com/directory</A><BR>and<BR><A
target=_blank href="http://old.mydomain.com/directory"
rel=noreferrer>http://old.mydomain.com/directory</A><BR>...could both give
different responses.<BR><BR>Some food for thought,
=).<BR><BR>Yours,<BR>Andrew.<BR>
