[Dancer-users] solving starman error with dancer's .psgi file

[Mr. Puneet Kishor]

In httpd.conf

    ProxyPass        /foo http://127.0.0.1:5001
    ProxyPassReverse /foo http://127.0.0.1:5001
    
and foo.psgi file like so

    use Dancer ':syntax';
    use Plack::Builder;
    
    setting apphandler => 'PSGI';
    
    my $app = sub {
        my $env = shift;
        local $ENV{DANCER_APPDIR} = "/Users/punkish/Documents/www/foo";
        setting appdir => "/Users/punkish/Documents/www/foo";
        load_app "foo";
        Dancer::App->set_running_app("foo");
        Dancer::Config->load;
        my $request = Dancer::Request->new( env => $env );
        Dancer->dance( $request );
    };
    
    builder {
        enable "Static", path => sub { s!^/lib/!! }, root => "/Users/punkish/Sites/lib";       
        mount "/" => builder {$app};
    };
    
I start the above with

    $plackup -E development -s Starman --workers=10 -p 5000 -a foo.psgi
    
The above works fine if I go to http://localhost.local/foo/, but if I go to http://localhost.local/foo (no trailing slash), all the resources at /lib are unreachable.

But, here is a more confounding problem; to access the above as an apache virtual host, I change httpd.conf to

    <VirtualHost foo.local:80>       
        ProxyPass        / http://127.0.0.1:5001/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5001/
    </VirtualHost>
    
and change only the following line in foo.psgi to

    - mount "/" => builder {$app};
    + mount "http://foo.local" => builder {$app};
    
But, now I get the following error

    Error while loading foo.psgi: Paths need to start with / at /Users/punkish/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/lib/site_perl/5.14.1/Plack/Builder.pm line 89
