NAME

Catalyst::Engine::Apache2::MP20 - Catalyst Apache2 mod_perl 2.x Engine

SYNOPSIS

    # Set up your Catalyst app as a mod_perl 2.x application in httpd.conf
    PerlSwitches -I/var/www/MyApp/lib
    
    # Preload your entire application
    PerlModule MyApp
    
    <VirtualHost *>
        ServerName    myapp.hostname.com
        DocumentRoot  /var/www/MyApp/root
        
        <Location />
            SetHandler          modperl
            PerlResponseHandler MyApp
        </Location>
        
        # you can also run your app in any non-root location
        <Location /some/other/path>
            SetHandler          perl-script
            PerlResponseHandler MyApp
        </Location>
        
        # Make sure to let Apache handle your static files
        # (It is not necessary to remove the Static::Simple plugin 
        # in production; Apache will bypass Static::Simple if
        # configured in this way)

        <Location /static>
            SetHandler          default-handler
        </Location>
 
        # If not running at a root location in a VirtualHost,
        # you'll probably need to set an Alias to the location
        # of your static files, and allow access to this location:

        Alias /myapp/static /filesystem/path/to/MyApp/root/static
        <Directory /filesystem/path/to/MyApp/root/static>
            allow from all
        </Directory>
        <Location /myapp/static>
            SetHandler default-handler
        </Location>

    </VirtualHost>

DESCRIPTION

This is the Catalyst engine specialized for Apache2 mod_perl version 2.x.

ModPerl::Registry

While this method is not recommended, you can also run your Catalyst application via a ModPerl::Registry script.

httpd.conf:

    PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
    Alias / /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_registry.pl/
    
    <Directory /var/www/MyApp/script>
        Options +ExecCGI
    </Directory>
    
    <Location />
        SetHandler          perl-script
        PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
    </Location>
    

script/myapp_registry.pl (you will need to create this):

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use MyApp;
    
    MyApp->handle_request( Apache2::RequestUtil->request );
