Problems with SetEnv and Alias

Hi Guys,

This has most likely been answered before but I have to ask as I have
searched this mailing list and can't find the answer I am looking for.
It is also most likely in the mod_perl 2,0 documentation and if there is
a relevant part of it you can point me to regarding my issue that would
be good!

I am running mod_perl 2 on a debian server using apache2

I have a <VirtualHost> directive which incorporates a mod_perl
PerlTransHandler. This VirtualHost block of the config also has some
Alias and SetEnv directives defined.

The PerlTransHandler module behaves correctly and works well but it
seems that when I execute a PHP document under this VirtualHost I lose
the $_SERVER (%ENV in perl) variables and Alias settings I have set in
the Apache VirtualHost block of my config.

Attached is my PerlTransHandler and my PerlFixupHandler as well as my
Apache configuration.

Kind regards,
Geoff T

Can you show us how you are executing the PHP document?

That should work. Can you try it with a simple CGI script, to see if
the PHP config is the problem?

I just thought respond to this and say that it worked fine with a Perl
CGI script. I did manage to get things working for PHP in the end. I was
using <VirtualHost *:80> in the VirtualHost section (along with
NameVirtualHost *:80), as soon as I changed this and defined an IP
address instead of * (effectively making it not use NameVirtualHost) it
worked!!

That was not really a solution for me because it means I need to have a
separate IP address for each of these VirtualHost sections I may want to
add Alias' or set ENV variables in the config :oS Anyone know why that
might be? (I know it is not really a modperl related question, more of
an apache question so feel free to ignore it :o) FYI I have a standard
debian linux setup running apache2 and modperl.

Thanks for all your help guys.
