[Solved] moving from mod_perl (apache2) to httpd PerlRequire equivalent
Added by hjw over 6 years ago
I am trying to move a web app over from apache2 to lighttpd 1.4.45 running on a pi zero.
I have edited/enabled cgi.conf as well as lighttpd.conf (and accesslog and status) and I can now
execute a simple perl script living in the directory where my app lives. Unfortunately I cannot actually run my app.
with apache's mod_perl there was a line in the httpd.conf:
PerlRequire /var/www/html/dw-programs/startup.plthe startup.pl file tells perl to use that directory to find its modules/files:
use lib qw(/var/www/html/dw-programs);
the error message that I get says it can't locate Settings.pm (which lives in /var/www/html/dw-programs and is being referenced in a use Settings; line in every one of my perl files)
Can't locate Settings.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Settings module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl-base) at /var/www/html/dw-programs/status.pl line 4
So, is there a way to get the functionality that mod_perl provides (PerlRequire) when using lighttpd? It would be best if I can do this through the config files instead of modifying the code base, that way everything will still run fine under apache
Sincerely,
Hawley

Please use your favorite search engine and look up the "PERL5LIB" environment variable.
