[Codestriker-user] mod_perl issues under Windows

[Nicolae B. <nic...@te...>]

Hi all,

After spending a few hours trying to debug the back-end Perl code, I realized that the following setup has fundamental drawbacks:

1)      Windows (XP 64bit - probably does not matter)

2)      Apache 1.3

3)      mod_perl

So the issues are:

1)      Cannot execute the highlighted (no errors though)

2)      Cannot execute svn.exe

3)      UTF-8 (Hebrew/Arabic) topic titles are incorrectly displayed in the active topic list page (hit the "List Open Topics", do not just go to codestriker/codestriker.pl)

4)      UTF-8 (Hebrew/Arabic) topic titles are incorrectly displayed in the main topic page.

Apparently the "system(<command-to-execute>)" call always returns "No such file or directory" no matter what is passed to it - could be that this message refers to a missing library - cannot tell.

At any rate, I have to disable mod_perl entirely now, and go back to the much slower cgi-bin implementation, which does not have any of these issues.

If anyone knows how I can use mod_perl with Apache (ideally Apache 2.2) without these issues, please let me know.

Thanks,
Nick
