If you have the headers to apache around, you should be able to compile
modules as DSOs. This leads to your next question:

We patched Apache 1.2.6 to handle DSOs. :)
The next version of secure server will include SSLeay 0.9.0b (SSL v3
support), Apache 1.3.1, and mod_ssl as the basis for SSLeay and Apache
integration.

Isn''t it fun being non-standard while suggesting that the users use the
standard documentation to supplement your fairly sparse manual? ;-)

Well, since you brought it up, when and how much to upgrade?
And does mod_perl in the current version work under RH 5.1 with all current
library and other upgrades? (My current hobby horse.)

As I''ve already reported to the "bugs in documentation"
e-mail address, it
works a lot better if you also have
Listen 80
Listen 443
in httpd.conf. As you''re probably aware, the virtual hosts can be
distinguished by IP address, port number, and server name. The last works
only for browsers with implement the latest version of HTTP. Together with
this flexibility comes a fair amount of complexity, which they haven''t
gotten quite right in the manual. :-(
While we''re on the topic of things in the manual which don''t
quite work out
that way in real life, can anyone confirm that mod_perl works for the
Secure Web Server running under RH Linux 5.1? I have a fairly vanilla
Pentium with RH Linux 5.1, with all the appropriate update RPMs applied,
where mod_perl simply refuses to work. It''s recognized, when I have it
installed mod_perl statements in the Apache configuration files are
recognized instead of simply resulting in error messages, but any file
which should be executed is simply served as text/plain of the perl source
code. Tech support has yet to answer the simple question of whether it
works for other people on 5.1.
Thanks.

Thanks, Jon. That was the missing ingredient. Adding those Listens makes
it work fine now. By the way, I searched the Red Hat bug tracking system
at http://developer.redhat.com/bugs but they don''t have documentation
bugs in their system -- they ought to for something like this.

I can confirm that it fails here under those same conditions with the same
symptoms, regardless of whether it use the ''alias /perl/''
method to make
the directory all perl, or uses the ''files <*.pl>'' to
just make .pl files execute.
Seems like they have a problem or some obscure config trick.

Good question, Preston, but yes, I did. My fingers have it memorized.

E-mail to docs@redhat.com is supposed to serve that purpose. Just as bugs
in the online errata sheets are supposed to be sent to
faq-maintainer@redhat.com. I can report that the latter works quite
nicely; a responsive person says, "Ooops, thanks" and before you know
it
the problem is fixed. The former, I hope goes to some queue for dealing
with later...
I agree that it would be nice to integrate all this with the bug system.
I''ve seen several signs that Red Hat is dealing reasonably well, but
not
perfectly, with their current rate of growth.

Oh, thank you. It''s so nice to know that it''s not just
something stupid
that I did.
