How to install Apache::Sandwich ? please

I found the document of Apache::Sandwich, http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/auth...ich-2.04.readme

But I still wonder how to install this module to Apache ?
run the makefile.pl ?

Thanks

tar -zxvf Apache-Sandwich-2.04.tar.gz
cd Apache-Sandwich-2.04
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

DONE

note: check Makefile.PL and see if the 1st line is the path to Perl.

Result:
[linux]# make install Installing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/Sandwich.pm
Installing /usr/lib/perl5/man/man3/Apache::Sandwich.3
Writing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Apache/Sandwich/.pack1
Appending installation info to /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/perllocal.po

Modify httpd.conf:
<Location /foo>
#any request for /foo and it's document tree
#are run through our Apache::Sandwich::handler
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Sandwich

#we send this file first
PerlSetVar HEADER "/my_header.html"

#requested uri (e.g. /foo/index.html) is sent in the middle

#we send output of this mod_perl script last
PerlSetVar FOOTER "/perl/footer.pl"
</Location>

[linux]# httpd restart
Syntax error.........httpd.conf
Invalid command 'PerlHandle', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not inclided in the server configuration

What can I do now ?
Thanks

>>Syntax error.........httpd.conf
Once it's installed, you should play around with .htacess instead of your httpd.conf.
I remember you were trying to have a rotate banner on the header and with a static footer. So you should set the header to point to your banner script instead.
Example of your .htaccess file in /foo dir:
<Location /foo>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Sandwich
PerlSetVar HEADER "/perl/banner.pl"
PerlSetVar FOOTER "/footer.txt"
</Location>

If your httpd.conf is now messed up, you should remove or comment out the new lines you have added and restart the server.
# /path/to/apachectl graceful

I try to use .htaccess and check the document, but .htaccess didn't support the method <Location> and <Directory>.
So ..., it still didn't work.
Then, I found a <Location> state in httpd.conf, list below:
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
</IfModule>
That means, <Location> is right in httpd.conf.
Then, I run "httpd -l" to list compiled-in modules, but don't found "Sandwich".
I think, the PerlHandleer error when I restart httpd, maybe came from "Apache can't found the Module Sandwich".
Would you please tell me what can I do ?
Thanks

So do you have this in your httpd.conf now?
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Sandwich
PerlSetVar HEADER "/banner.pl"
PerlSetVar FOOTER "/footer.txt"
</Location>
Be sure your banner.pl and footer.txt exist there.
>>I run "httpd -l" to list compiled-in modules, but don't found "Sandwich".
Sandwich.pm is a perl module, not an apache module.

ya, the /foo directory has head.html and foot.html, and put this lines in httpd.conf.
Alias /foo/ /home/httpd/html/foo/
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
<Location /foo>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Sandwich
PerlSetVar HEADER "/head.html"
PerlSetVar FOOTER "/foot.html"
</Location>
</IfModule>
I can restart httpd, but no action.
If we put this lines in httpd.conf
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Sandwich
PerlSetVar HEADER "/head.html"
PerlSetVar FOOTER "/foot.html"
</Location>
Then show a Invalid command PerlHandler when restart httpd.

How does it go right now? If you don't mind to wait me 2 or 3 days, I will try to install that to my web server and give you the exact configuration so to solve the problems.

It didn't work yet.

And I found RPM on the net. http://linusp.usp.br/rpm2html/CPAN/....01-1.i386.html
But I don't know how to remove Sandwich that I installed before.

And another article on the net. http://www.bitmechanic.com/mail-arc...rrent/0791.html
But I still don't understand how to install Sandwich.


Thank for your help

Try
cd Apache-Sandwich-2.04
make deinstall

good luck!

make deinstall
[]# *** No rule to make target 'deinstall'. Stop
Then........How can I remove Sandwich

Have you tried to remove Sandwich.pm manually?
Can you install 2.01 at all?

Ya,
I install the RPM file of Sandwich.
redhat.com tell me, the Sandwich files list are
1. /usr/lib/perl5/man/man3/Apache::Sandwich.3
2. /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/Sandwich.pm
3. /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Apache/Sandwich/.packlist
After install, I can't find the file .packlist

And then, I keep these lines in httpd.conf:
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
Alias /foo/ /home/httpd/html/foo/
<Location /foo>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Sandwich
PerlSetVar HEADER "head.html"
PerlSetVar FOOTER "foot.html"
</Location>
</IfModule>
Then ...... no any "sandwich" on the file /home/httpd/html/foo/index.htm

Which directory do I need to put the file "head.html" and "foo.html" on ?
Thanks

>>Which directory do I need to put the file "head.html" and "foo.html" on ?
Maybe /home/httpd/html/include so these files don't get sandwiched themselves.
According to the Readme file of Sandwich, you are supposed to put something like this:
1) head.pl
your banner script which doesn't print the closing </body> nor </html> tag.
2) the files to be sandwich are any files in /foo directory.
So you don't need to put any header or footer in these files.
(e.g. the html part without <html><body></body></html> )
3) foot.html
could be as simple as this..
</body>
</html>

My httpd.conf:
<Directory "/home/httpd/html/foo/">
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
<Location "/home/httpd/html/foo/">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Sandwich
PerlSetVar HEADER head.pl
PerlSetVar FOOTER foot.pl
</Location>
</IfModule>
My /home/httpd/html/foo/head.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/htmlnn";
print "This is Head...n";
My /home/httpd/html/foo/foot.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/htmlnn";
print "This is Foot...n";
Then test head.pl and foot.pl under text mode, it's OK.
[]# httpd restart
............No Sandwich
Would you please tell me why ?
