#4 lxr configuration for multiple projects?

[Bernhard Penz]

Hello,

I've just installed lxr 0.9.1 and it runs smooth. But
configuring lxr properly is still a cumbersome task :)
You mention that 'baseurl' selects one config block,
now my question is can I add multiple blocks to get
lxr running for more than one project without
generating 10 databases and 10 copies of the lxr
executables? genxref exits with an error when I try to
do this

./genxref --url=http://mylxr.srv/lxr/mpeg4itec --
version=1.3
syntax error at configuration file line 195, near "}

{"

I attach a lxr.conf of my configuration attempt on
this.

Another thing on the INSTALL document: You deleted a
couple of lines from the original document posted by
Guido, that is, the part about moving the stuff in lib
to a directory in the Perl search path.

Thanks for your help,
Berni

You certainly can add multiple blocks, but you will need a
separate database for each one (ie you will have to create
multiple databases, lxr-1, lxr-2 etc). You may not need to
have the executables around multiple times - it should be
sufficient to add more <Alias> lines to your httpd.conf,
since lxr uses the URL passed from Apache to work out what
config block to use. However, I have never tried this.

The problem with your lxr.conf file is that you are missing
a comma between the two blocks. This file is evaluated by
Perl as an anonymous hash declaration (because of the outer
{} brackets) and so each element in the hash must be
separated by a comma.

For the config doc, having lib/LXR on your Perl path should
no longer be necessary as the .htaccess file adds it
automagically. If this is not working for you then file a bug.
