[Slashcode-general] Building a haxlash site ...

[Marc G. F. <sc...@hu...>]

Morning all ...

   Based on the git repo that we now have, I have setup a first incarnation 
at http://www.haxlash.org ... and here is my experience so far, including 
'bugs':

   Right now, this site is running on FreeBSD 7.x, with the following ports 
installed:

   apache-1.3.42
   ap13-mod_perl-1.31_1
   mysql-client-5.1.55
   perl-threaded-5.10.1_3
   p5-Bundle-Slash 2.52

On top of that, I've had to add (not part of Bundle above):

   p5-ParallelUA-2.57_2
   p5-Data-JavaScript-Anon-1.03
   bsdpan-HTML-PopupTreeSelect-1.6
   p5-Lingua-Stem-0.84
   p5-DBD-mysql-4.017

   I stuck with *only* the DEFAULT plugins that are presented when you to 
the install ... from what I can tell, there are others that should be 
default, but this is one area where we still need to investigate ...

   I am using Apache 2.2 + its internal proxy support to serve the site via 
Apache 2.2 ... this way I can work on upgrading from Apache 1.3 without 
having to make alot of changes ...

   When restarting apache, I get several warnings that don't seem to 
prevent it from being started, namely:

no obj for 'Slash::Clout::Describe' at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/mach/Slash/DB/MySQL.pm line 11341.
no obj for 'Slash::Clout::Moderate' at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/mach/Slash/DB/MySQL.pm line 11341.
no obj for 'Slash::Clout::Vote' at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/mach/Slash/DB/MySQL.pm line 11341.

   Am currently investigating, but from what I've found so far, it has to 
do with the Tags plugin ...

   The other "bug" I hit was that the default configuration found in:

/usr/local/www/d_admin/ap13.haxlash.org/www/site/www.haxlash.org/www.haxlash.org.conf

contains a section:

     # this directive will redirect non-logged-in users to
     # index.shtml if they request the home page; turn it
     # on to help increase performance or if you are using something
     # other than index.pl for the index
     #PerlTransHandler Slash::Apache::IndexHandler
     # this directive will display a user's pages at /~username
     PerlTransHandler Slash::Apache::User::userdir_handler

The odd thing is that the line:

PerlTransHandler Slash::Apache::IndexHandler

Is commented out by default, which, when you aren't logged in, causes it 
to go to index.shtml, but there is no index.shtml, so generates a no such 
file / directory error messages ... commenting it out causes it to load 
index.pl properly, and all appears to be well ... so far ...

YMMV
