ConfigLoader trouble

Hi all,

Have got a problem with ConfigLoader not reading %ENV.

At the top of Myapp.pm i have:

use parent qw/Catalyst/;
use Catalyst qw/StackTrace ConfigLoader/;

...and i'm setting env var in httpd.conf:

PerlSetVar MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX beta

... but ConfigLoader will not load myapp_beta.conf from the application dir.

I have output the contents of %ENV to my Apache log, and
MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX is there.

I'm stumped, as i have this working on another machine.

If i manually set ConfigLoader's file option, it loads the config fine:

__PACKAGE__->config->{'Plugin::ConfigLoader'} = {file =>
'/home/ben/Myapp/myapp_beta.conf'};

Any ideas?

Ben

I've not run Catalyst under mod_perl in quite a while, but I would
expect PerlSetEnv to definitely DTRT. Are PerlSetVar variables made
available in %ENV under C::Engine::Apache? I don't believe so. Does
switching to PerlSetEnv fix your issue?

The <Model::DB> config i'm putting in myapp_beta.conf isn't being read
by ConfigLoader, so the error i'm getting is from DBIx::Class stating
that it needs connect_info. But this error is irrelevant... it's
ConfigLoader not reading the file that is the problem.

Re: ConfigLoader trouble [In reply to]

Paste your conf, connect_info actually has to be an array(ref?) and it has
to be put together kinda funny in myapp.conf.

Sorry, typo, yes i'm using PerlSetEnv, *not* PerlSetVar.

I have "PerlOptions +SetupEnv" in my apache config, and like i say i
output %ENV and it's definately there.

It's like ConfigLoader's setup() isn't being run, or it's choosing to
ignore the MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX i'm setting.

I'm afraid the best way to debug this is likely to be brute force.

Copy your apache config somewhere, mangle it to only run 1 child
process, then try to start the app with strace -f, pipe the stdout
and stderr to a file.

You can then grep through that file for instances of myapp_.*\.(conf|
yml|whatever).

This should help you build a mental model of how it's going wrong
(e.g. looking for the wrong filename, looking in the wrong place,
just not looking etc).

One you know what it's doing wrong in more detail then it'll be
easier to work out how to debug/fix.

Cheers

No need - i tried putting back the Makefile.PL i deleted (as per other
thread), and ConfigLoader (as if by magic) started working again.

I really should read important notices a bit more :)
