Apache2 conf and mod_ruby (mac os x 10.4.11)

Ruby
1

in my httpd.conf i have :

LoadModule ruby_module libexec/httpd/mod_ruby.so
…
AddModule mod_ruby.c

and :

for Apache::RubyRun

RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

exec files under /ruby as ruby scripts.

<Location /ruby>
SetHandler ruby-object
RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
Options +ExecCGI

for rbx files

<Directory /Users/yt/Sites/*>
Options +ExecCGI

exec *.rbx as ruby scripts.

<Files *.rbx>
SetHandler ruby-object
RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance

# for Apache::ERubyRun

RubyRequire apache/eruby-run

# handle files under /eruby as eRuby files by eruby.

<Location /eruby>
SetHandler ruby-object
RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance

# handle *.rhtml as eruby files.

<Files *.rhtml>
SetHandler ruby-object
RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance

# for Apache::ERbRun

RubyRequire apache/erb-run

# handle files under /erb as eRuby files by ERb.

<Location /erb>

SetHandler ruby-object

RubyHandler Apache::ERbRun.instance

# for debug

#RubyRequire auto-reload

DirectoryIndex index.html index.rhtml

AddType application/x-httpd-eruby .rhtml
Action application/x-httpd-eruby /cgi-bin/eruby

however any attempt to read a *.rbx or *.rhtml gave me the text content
of the script itself.

i’ve checked the syntax of httpd.conf, according to apachectl -t, it is
correct.

i’m running Mac 0S 10.4.11 with :
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [powerpc-darwin8.11.0]
eRuby version 1.0.5

how could i debugg this stuff ?

I’m not too familiar with it, but it may be an additional Option you
need to add or an AddHandler.

thanks for your answer, i discovered, in the mean time, Apache 2, is
unable to load mod_ruby.so because of a symbol not found, expected in a
flat name space…

i fall back to Apache 1.3, the Apple’s default wich works at least, for
the time being, with rbx files in any directory…

also i wanted to compile the latest mod_ruby, but it fails.

i suspect something wrong in my manuall Apache 2 install (i wanted to
link the latest mod_ruby with this apache 2)…

Hi,

I’m using mod_ruby with apache 2.2.6 without any issues. I manually
compiled and installed both apache and mod_ruby so I’m not sure of how
much help I’ll be.

My config is pretty simple:

LoadModule ruby_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_ruby.so

~ RubyRequire apache/ruby-run
~ <Files *.rbx>
~ SetHandler ruby-object
~ RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
~

~ RubyRequire apache/eruby-run
~ <Files *.rhtml>
~ SetHandler ruby-object
~ RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
~

It’s installed here:

root@takk:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8# ls -la apache/
total 64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-11-05 17:03 ./
drwxr-xr-x 32 root root 4096 2007-11-05 17:03 …/

    root@takk:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8#

Let me know if I can be of further help.

right now, *.rbx files are working but not *.rhtml.

with eruby the Apache2 server complains :
[Wed Apr 30 16:53:57 2008] [error] mod_ruby: failed to require
apache/eruby-run

the line 45 of eruby-run.rb being :

require “eruby”

i did a test changing this line to the absolute path of eruby, without
any positive effect…

even my httpd.conf is slightly different from yours, i had to add :
<Directory /Users/yt/Sites/*>
Options +ExecCGI

in order to get *.rbx files working…

http://wiki.modruby.net/en/?eRubyQuestions

ok, thanks, i’ll read this wiki.

i suspect the test done with eruby on command line was done with an
older eruby not linked the Apache2 (?)
even erubis is working on command line, and part of it as cgi.

I’d like to add a question :
what i the role of this eruby ? I mean if i do :
$ eruby --version
eRuby version 1.0.5
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [powerpc-darwin8.11.0]

even i’ve tested eruby on cli…

also :
$ which eruby
/opt/local/bin/eruby

may be this isn’t the “same” eruby ???
I’m confused about that…

Do you have anything similar to this?

root@takk:~# locate eruby.so
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/eruby.so

This is what apache is requiring.

I don’t, I use linux but you need the library and for some reason you
don’t have it.

no, no, i have it, i’m sure about that.
and it works (ie. eruby under mod_ruby)
what surprised me is that : it was already installed but didn’t work,
i’ve re-installed (same version) it and now it works…

it remains to me to get erubis working…

Honestly I don’t know what’s wrong, there is already a thread in
ruby-talk about the exact same issue with erubis and I’m not sure they
found a solution.

something in erubis is tainted, and i’m unable to untaint it, the reason
for the security error.
