FastCGI problem

Hi all,

Well after a long struggle I am almost there!

I am doing a non-root install of RT, a server where I
can’t just choose anything. First of all, mod_perl is
built as a DSO. So I gave up trying with mod_perl
after getting a lot of “POST not working” bugs.

Now I have set up FastCGI. Everything is almost
working. I can tell, because I can see the HTML for
the login page!

Problem is, for some reason, that HTML is going to my
Apache error log, not to the client. As a result
Apache gives up on mason_handler.cgi.

My configuration details:

perl 5.6.1 (I can’t change it, remember)
Apache 1.3
FastCGI as a module

Part of httpd.conf:

added DHJ 27.4.04

ServerName support.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/RT/share/html/
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
ScriptAlias / /usr/local/RT/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/
FastCgiIpcDir /usr/local/RT/var/fcgi/
FastCgiServer /usr/local/RT/bin/mason_handler.fcgi

Alias /NoAuth/images/
/usr/local/RT/share/html/NoAuth/images/

SetHandler fastcgi-script

Any ideas what is going on or how to debug?

Cheers
David

Here’s what I have in my httpd.conf running under apache2 with fastcgi… Could give you an idea…

Good luck!

RT Developer and Administrator training is coming to LA, DC and Frankfurt this spring and summer.
http://bestpractical.com/services/training.html

Sign up early, as class space is limited.

The attached one looks like it has remnants of the mod_perl stuff in
there. Mine is even less complex since it is strictly FastCGI (Apache2
with FastCGI):

LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
FastCgiIpcDir /var/log/httpd/fastcgi
AddHandler fastcgi-script fcg fcgi fpl



FastCgiServer /var/www/html/adm.wesmo.com/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi
ScriptAlias /rt3 /var/www/html/adm.wesmo.com/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/

Hope this helps…

perl 5.6.1 (I can’t change it, remember)

This will end up causing countless problems. Perhaps you can build
your own perl in your homedir?

Hi Guys

Thanks very much for your helpful examples. My problem
is that the output of mason_handler.fcgi is being
redirected to the Apache error log rather than sent to
the browser. Can you think what might be causing this?
Is there a way to debug it?

FastCGI: comm with server “/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” aborted

I am also seeing
client [1.2.3.4] FastCGI: incomplete headers received from server
“/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” aborted
