I'm putting up a dancer app for a domain hosted at dreamhost. I created the app using the latest 1.2 dancer, and changed the webroot for the domain to appdir/public using the DH config panel. The following .htaccess is in place:
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule (.*) /dispatch.cgi/$1 [QSA,L]
Access to the routes works like a champ (including Net::Google::FederatedLogin authentication which I may turn into a plugin; also thinking about a CGI::FormBuilder plugin like Catalyst's).
However, uri_for returns a path that includes the rewritten path with dispatch.cgi in it:
uri_for("/dog") => http://<domain>/dispatch.cgi/dog
I'm assuming it should instead return http://<domain>/dog.
This seems like something there is an easy solution to, but I'm not finding it. Does anyone have any advice?
A simple thing that I do when deploying a CGI app is using a soft link instead of a rewrite rule: cd /var/www/cgi-bin # your system's cgi-bin may be at a different location ln -s /path/to/myapp/public/dispatch.cgi myapp You need to tell your web server to treat '^/myapp' as a cgi script. Then you can visit http://<domain>/myapp and it will be the root of your app. uri_for("/dog") should then return http://<domain>/myapp/dog I usually deploy as CGI for playing around or for development. When deploying for production, I use FastCGI, and then it is easy to mount your app to '/' or '/whatever'. -Naveed

I should have noted the behavior was identical with fcgi and cgi. I brought this all up partly to work out what the deployment documentation should say, since that configuration came directly from there. If the recommended deployment doesn't work correctly, that's a bug in the documentation. --bob On Jan 2, 2011, at 8:43 AM, awnstudio@gmail.com wrote:
