The balancer has a built-in status/manager interface that
allows you to change balancer and worker properties.

It's web, so you'd need to work up a quick Perl/PHP/Python
script to POST the required data to it.

Ah, this is the secret...

File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I had completely forgotten about that, though I did it
under my previous configuration. Now I can preview my
sites at http://mysite/ AND access XAMPP's home page
at http://localhost/

I'm back at my original website configuration...

C:/sites/mysite

But now that I have a solid foundation to work from, I
can try to implement your other tips.

Thanks so much!

OK, this is making more sense, but I'm still missing
something. I asked some questions about XAMPP on
ApacheFriend's forum, too, and someone suggested I try
the following:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /apachefriends/xampp/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sites
ServerAlias sites *.sites
DocumentRoot c:\sites
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName geobop
ServerAlias geobop *.geobop
DocumentRoot c:\sites\geobop
</VirtualHost>

So I changed alll my sites to this format, and it
works perfectly. I can preview every site at
http://mysite/ AND I can access XAMPP's home page at
http://localhost/

Then I did an experiment. I changed two websites to
this format:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@geoworld
ServerName geoworld:80
ServerAlias *.geoworld
CustomLog
"C:/sites/geoworld/logs/geoworld-access.log" vcombined
ErrorLog
"C:/sites/geoworld/logs/geoworld-error.log"
DocumentRoot "c:/sites/geoworld"
<Directory "c:/sites/geoworld">
Options None
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/sites/geoworld/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "C:/sites/geoworld/cgi-bin">
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I also put one of these websites inside a folder named
public_html...

C:/sites/public_html/geozoo/

After I restarted my computer, I couldn't access
either website, nor could I access XAMPP at
http://localhost/

I couldn't access GeoZoo (the site inside public_html)
at http://geozoo or http://public_html/geozoo/

One or both of the websites I modified asked for a
password when I tried to preview them on a browser.
Maybe that's a clue as to what I'm doing wrong. Any
tips?

Thanks.

It also helps when one uses the SSLCertificateFile and
SSLCertificateKeyFile directives - specifying both the certificate
and the key with the SSLCertificateFile directive doesn't work too well.

Thanks, folks - I have it straightened out. I don't know how I missed
that...

First of all I want to say thanks for your time and explanations...

I'm going to try and re-explain my scenario, only because this thread
has kind of bounced between two, kind of confusing them. And, to make
it more complicated for me, it's on 4 lists. So here I go.

About a week ago I decided to move from spending most of my time
developing in php4 to beginning my transition to perl. I'm developing
a flash based content management system that's easier to use for
novices.
Mostly I've stuck with a combo of Flash on the client (using
actionscript 2.0,)
and PHP with MySQL on the back-end. It's been working beautiful, but
it only goes so far. We're going to need to automate account creation,
maintenance, etc... Right now we've been using propriety systems like
cpanel and modernbill. PHP is good, but doesn't do a lot of what we are
going to need. So enters Perl. It's that old saying, "I knew I'd be
here someday;
I just didn't know yesterday, it would be today."

So I started writing and updater for our client sites. Then, I learned
about the
benefits of mod_perl over mod_cgi and I was off. First thing I ran
into was
a problematic DBD::mysql install. When I couldn't get it to install I
tried a lot
of different approaches. That is when I think mod_perl got the
databases
confused. I did eventually find the solution to get it to install here:
http://www.truerwords.net/3556
Alas, it was too late, I had a confused mod_perl. It was giving me the
error
for a lib file that was for a database that was put in in one of my
attempts
to get the DBD::mysql installed. It wasn't the database I really use.
To make things even more complicated it was a fink 'unstable' package,
I wouldn't even really want to use.
It was at this point that I found out a couple of other things.
First, I can only use $r->print( "something" ) to get output to the
browser
when I use Apache::Registry a regular print doesn't do it, it does under
mod_cgi though. The second thing I figured out was when I ran
DBD::mysql
under the perl command locally or as mod_cgi it connected to the right
database, just not under mod_perl using Apache::Registry.

Then I started to try and compile my own versions of Apache 1.3.33 (the
same
as my production environment.) With or without fink or darwinports, by
itself
or DSO with mod_perl, I can't get a successful apache 1.3.33 working.

I've gotten a lot of great suggestions, all of which I've tried, none
have worked.

I'm not sure it's necessarily the only way to fix my problem though.
Starting to think like a perl guy (TMTOWTDI, right.) I'm guessing, not
sure but DBD::mysql or DBI is probably what set up mod_perl's lib. So,
maybe
I just need to reinstall them. Otherwise, I can always back my user
files
up and do a clean OS install (yuck!) I could keep trying to install my
own
apache1.3.33 too. In fact, I'd like to be able to, regardless...

So as far as the dyld goes. Is it something that is only effected
during source
compiling? If so I'd at least know it was one of the DB mods, for I
haven't
compiled either apache or mod_perl successfully. So if dylds only get
linked
during compile, using the env vars you explained, then I just need to
reset
them, maybe taking my /sw/ directory out of $PATH while I compile,
right?
Otherwise if there is a way to do it after it's compiled via editing a
header
doc or something, maybe I just need to trackdown the file using a combo
of the grep commands you gave examples for in your last email, right?

Thanks again,
Boysenberry

I want to redirect all requests to a particular domain to index.html
such as all requests to www.digitalpartners.com to
www.digitalpartners.com/index.html

I had setup a rewrite that worked, but broke all images on the page
because it was rewriting anything that wasn't index.html to that. Now I
have a redirect, but I am not sure why it won't work, it seems obvious
to me, but I guess not.

Redirect !/index.html http://www.digitalpartners.com/pages/index.html

Sorry it is to early in the morning. My redirect is actually this:

Redirect !/index.html http://www.digitalpartners.com/index.html

Strange. why do you want to do it?

Anyway, supposing that the images are in the "images" folder, something
like that could work

RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/digitalpartner-rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 2
RewriteRule ^/images/(.*) /images/$1 [L,PT]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.digitalpartners.com/index.html [L,P]

I want to redirect EVERYTHING to www.digitalpartners.com domain to
index.html, I care not about redirecting / to index.html, that is a
given with DirectoryIndex like you say. I want
http://www.digitalpartners.com/boooga_booggggga_boooogaaaaaa or whatever
the hell someone types in there to load (or redirect to) the
http://www.digitalpartners.com/index.html page, since we are wanting
just a static page now with a logo up, and don't want people with
bookmarked links to be able to get to content still.

make sense?

yeah we need to pages up there still, we aren't wanting to completely
wipe them out, but simply load just the logo as it does right now for
everything to that domain.
