Thanks for the pointer. At some point I will look at it. For now, I need to keep moving forward as expeditiously as possible. Using the built-in server to do my testing may be the most expeditious as opposed to installing a brand new server (it is not just a matter of my development laptop, but also all the server machines we have).

Thanks, but for now, I need help with figuring out how to configure the web site parameters with the built-in server.

Nevertheless, the major problem is, I get very, very poor error messaging with Dancer+Apache combination. An example -- I had a mistake in my script last night that I was accessing via Ajax. All I got was an error popup on the client telling me that "an internal error had occurred." Other than that, nothing in Apache error log, and, funnily I was/am also not getting any development.log output.

The problem now? Well, none of my aliases, as declared in httpd.conf are available to the built-in server. Here is how I work --

In my vhosts.conf file I define an alias for lib as `/lib ~/<http root>/lib` so I can access all my JS libraries via `<script type="text/javascript" src="/lib/funky/funky.min.js"></script>` and so on. How can I define these kind of aliases for the Dancer's built-in server?
