deployment problems with apache + starman
by Assaf Gordon 09 Nov '11

Hello, I'm having problems deploying a simple dancer app with Apache+Starman. Even using the most basic setup doesn't seem to work properly - the "request.uri_for()" returns "http://localhost:3000" instead of the virtual server name. I tried following the varied instructions in Dancer::Deployment, but that are just too many options, or perhaps I don't understand how the different parts connect. What I did is: ## 1. Create a new app $ dancer -a foo $ cd foo ## 2. Start the server with Starman $ plackup -s Starman -l 127.0.0.1:3000 ./bin/app.pl ## In Apache, my configuration is; <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName xxxx.cshl.edu ServerAlias xxxx ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/ </VirtualHost> That's it, nothing more, nothing less. I can see the main Dancer website stub ("Perl is Dancing" etc.), but every link inside the HTML page (e.g. the CSS file) points to "http://localhost:3000" instead of "http://xxxx.cshl.edu" - so none of the links is working. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated, Thanks, -assaf.

unusual logging error

I'm using ubic to manage by starman daemon and cannot seem to get my app to log to a file. I am trying to log to /var/log/internal-api.log and have set the permissions to 777 for troubleshooting purposes. Manual testing on the command line verifies this odd behavior: plackup -E production -s Starman --workers 5 -p 5000 -a bin/app.pl An 'strace -fv' of the above command results in the following snippet: stat64("/var/log", {st_dev=makedev(252, 0), st_ino=3670214, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_nlink=14, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=8, st_size=4096, st_atime=2011/11/03-09:41:41, st_mtime=2011/11/03-09:38:12, st_ctime=2011/11/03-09:38:12}) = 0 open("/var/log/internal-api.log", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 5 _llseek(5, 0, [0], SEEK_END) = 0 ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfdcba68) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) _llseek(5, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0 *Note the Inappropriate ioctl for device Following is my production.yml file. # only log warning and error messsages log: 'warning' # log message to a file in logs/ logger: 'file' log_path: '/var/log' log_file: 'internal-api.log' # don't consider warnings critical warnings: 0 # hide errors show_errors: 0 # cache route resolution for maximum performance route_cache: 1 Any ideas? Thanks, Matt

Dancer::MIME return value

Hi. I had noticed that Dancer/MIME.pm (and also Dancer/Core/MIME.pm in Dancer2) return 42 https://github.com/sukria/Dancer/blob/devel/lib/Dancer/MIME.pm#L67 This is wrong, because generate warning $ perl -wce '42' Useless use of a constant (42) in void context at -e line 1. -e syntax OK Also, with `use warnings FATAL => 'all'` (default for Moo) returned error $ perl -c -Ilib lib/Dancer/Core/MIME.pm ; echo $? Useless use of a constant (42) in void context at lib/Dancer/Core/MIME.pm line 77. 255 -- Vladimir Lettiev aka crux ✉ theCrux(a)gmail.com
