RT not processing mason templates

RT Users

Hi,

After a round of upgrading caused by going from perl 5.8.0 to 5.8.5, RT no
longer seems to want to execute the Mason code.

For example, going to the default URL gives:

%# BEGIN LICENSE BLOCK %# %# Copyright © 1996-2003 Jesse Vincent %# %#
(Except where explictly superceded by other copyright notices) %# %# This work
is made available to you under the terms of Version 2 of %# the GNU General
Public License. A copy

etc.

I’ve checked over all the obvious stuff. mod_perl is installed, along with all
the perl deps.

httpd configuration is:

PerlSetVar MasonArgsMethod CGI
PerlModule Apache2 Apache::compat
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1/index.html

PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /usr/local/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

<Location />
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>

<Location /REST/1.0/NoAuth/>
   SetHandler php-script
</Location>

There aren’t any errors in any of the logs (httpd or rt.log).

This is with:

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
Server version: Apache/2.0.47

Anyone got any suggestions where to start hunting?

Did you rebuild mod_perl?On Sat, Nov 20, 2004 at 11:45:00AM +0000, Sam Stickland wrote:

Yep, although that seems like the most obvious thing to be causing these
problems.

I realised I’d inadvertantly installed Apache2 into /usr/local rather than
/usr/local/apache2 (which contained an old version). I cleaned that up the
old version and then reinstalled Apache2, mod_perl and PHP. Current
versions are:

perl: 5.8.5
Apache: 2.0.52
rt: 3.0.12
mod_perl: 1.99.16

When it’s started up the line in the apache logs is:

[notice] Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_16 Perl/v5.8.5 mod_ssl/2.0.52
OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP/4.3.9 mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 configured – resuming normal
operations

But still when I try to access the RT pages I just get raw template code
back. mod_perl does appear to be working, since if I deliberately break
the webmux.pl script then I get perl errors in the apache logs when it
tries to start.

I’m seriously stumped now. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Did you rebuild mod_perl?

Yep.

Current versions as reported from the apache logs are:

[Mon Nov 22 12:19:49 2004] [notice] Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_16
Perl/v5.8.5 mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP/4.3.9 mod_fastcgi/2.4.2
configured – resuming normal operations

(I reinstalled the entire webserver+friends from scratch over the
weekend).

Realised I hadn’t installed the perl-glue for libapreq2, but that’s been
done now.

Still seeing unprocessed mason template code whenever I try to load RT.

mod_perl is does seem to be working (deliberately adding use statements
for non-existant modules causes perl errors in the apache logs).

I’m starting to get very very stumped.

I tracked this problem down to a content-type problem. For some reason the
.html is being set to application/x-httpd-php, although I can’t for the
left of me find where this would be in the my apache config.

For the time being I’ve commented out the following line webmux.pl

return -1 if defined( $r->content_type ) && $r->content_type !~
m!(^text/|\bxml\b)!io;

and added:

$RT::Logger->warning($r->content_type) if defined( $r->content_type ) &&
$r->content_type !~ m!(^text/|\bxml\b)!io;

so I can see the content types.

Can anyone see any problems with this modification? I know I really ought
to fix the apache conf, but it’s proving to a real pain to find the
problem in that.
