ADVX, virtual hosting, and httpd-perl proxying

[Guest mbc2]

Running version Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.26 (Mandrake Linux/6mdk)

sxnet/1.2.4 mod_ssl/2.8.10 OpenSSL/0.9.6g PHP/4.2.3 on a Mandrake 9.0 box.

 

I'm having problems setting up a virtual host on the box. The idea is to

have files in the /shtml directory processed by the mod_perl-enabled httpd

listening on port 8200 instead of the standard httpd (which is processing

static files). There, a custom Perl handler should be processing all files

ending in ".shtml". However, the handoff doesn't seem to be occurring and

the logs (access_log, error_log, perl-proxied_log) aren't recording any errors.

 

This is what I have (the following is in a .conf file that's included in

httpd.conf; should it be included in httpd-perl.conf as well?):

 

<VirtualHost {server IP}:80>

ServerName example.com

ServerAlias www.example.com

ServerPath /var/www/html

DocumentRoot /var/www/html

<IfDefine PERLPROXIED>

ProxyPass /shtml http://localhost:8200/shtml

ProxyPassReverse /shtml http://localhost:8200/shtml

</IfDefine>

</VirtualHost>

 

<VirtualHost {server IP}:8200>

ServerName example.com

ServerAlias www.example.com

ServerPath /var/www/html

DocumentRoot /var/www/html

 

<IfModule mod_perl.c>

PerlModule Perlsite

 

<FilesMatch "\.shtml$">

SetHandler perl-script

PerlHandler Perlsite

Options ExecCGI

order deny,allow

allow from all

</FilesMatch>

 

</IfModule>

</VirtualHost>

 

Other than the include for this file in httpd.conf, httpd.conf and

commonhttpd.conf are unchanged from the initial install.

 

Any advice you can give would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Just a follow-up.
