Debian install

Fresh Debian install with OVH / kimsufi install process:

  • Step 1:

Apache 2.2 + mod_perl: Product Opener backend

Build

apt-get install libperl-dev

cd /home/stephane
mkdir src
cd src
wget http://apache.crihan.fr/dist//httpd/httpd-2.2.29.tar.gz
tar xvfz httpd-2.2.29.tar.gz
cd httpd-2.2.29
./configure --with-mpm=prefork --prefix=/home/stephane/apache  --enable-rewrite --enable-proxy --enable-proxy_http --enable-deflate  --disable-userdir --enable-headers
make
make install

wget http://mir2.ovh.net/ftp.apache.org/dist/perl/mod_perl-2.0.8.tar.gz 
tar xvfz mod_perl-2.0.8.tar.gz
cd mod_perl-2.0.8
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/home/stephane/apache/bin/apxs 
make
make install

Configuration

In apache/conf/httpd.conf:

Change the port to something else than 80 (the reverse proxy will listen on 80 and forward to the backend on another port). 

Listen 8001

If you are installing several Product Openers on the same machine, use different ports.

Change the Apache user to your user: 

User stephane
Group stephane

Add to apache/conf/httpd.conf: 

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

PerlWarn Off
PerlRequire /home/stephane/product-opener/cgi/startup.pl


<Location /cgi>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry

Install Perl modules

If possible, use apt-get to install packages directly. If they are not available, you can use cpan to install the modules. 

apt-get install libwww-perl libimage-magick-perl 
apt-get install  libxml-encoding-perl libtext-unaccent-perl libmime-lite-perl
apt-get install libcache-memcached-fast-perl libjson-perl libclone-perl  libgraphviz-perl 
apt-get install libmime-lite-perl  # needs to be done after installing exim4
apt-get install libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl libencode-detect-perl libgraphics-color-perl libbarcode-zbar-perl 
apt-get install libxml-feedpp-perl libmongodb-perl liburi-find-perl

Modules that could not be installed using apt-get: 

cpan
install URI::Escape::XS
install Image::OCR::Tesseract # needs imagemagick installed first

cgi/startup.pl preloads a lot of modules, you can check that those modules are installed by running: 

cd /home/stephane/product-opener/cgi
perl startup.pl

Create some paths and links

cd /home/stephane/product-opener/cgi
ln -s ./ Blogs
ln -s S
