Forgive me if this is double posted. I posted yesterday after a long
hiatus of posting anything to the Cygwin Mailing list and it didn't seem
to show up so I'm trying again. If anybody sees this then a quick email
to adefaria@audience.com saying you saw it would clear that up.
I've been working mainly on Linux boxes and haven't had to dig in to
Cygwin deeply for a while. But I have a question or two again. I could
just switch to a Linux server but I figured I'd try my Windows laptop first.
Goal: Set up Apache2 on my Windows laptop with mod_perl working as well
as Apache2::AuthCookieLDAP and write an example login page that
authenticates to Active Directory using AuthCookieLDAP.
First problem (minor): I can't figure out how to install Apache2 as a
Windows service. For now I can just do apachectl2 start but would like
to configure it as a real service. I've tried:
Adefaria-lt:cygrunsrv -I httpd2 -d 'CYGWIN Apache2' -p
/usr/sbin/httpd2.exe -a '-DNO_DETACH'
Adefaria-lt:net start httpd2
The CYGWIN Apache2 service is starting.
The CYGWIN Apache2 service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
Adefaria-lt:
Second problem: Perl CGI scripts do not execute but just display even
though AddHandler is configured in Apache:
Adefaria-lt:grep -i 'addhandler cgi-script' /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Adefaria-lt:cat ~/web/test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>A Simple Perl CGI</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Simple Perl CGI</h1>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
HTML
exit;
Adefaria-lt:
When I go to test.pl it just gets printed as the web page. Note that PHP
is working and if I go to phpinfo.php it works just fine...
Third problem: mod_perl2 doesn't seem to want to install:
Running install for module 'mod_perl2'
Running make for P/PH/PHRED/mod_perl-2.0.8.tar.gz
Checksum for
/home/adefaria/.cpan/sources/authors/id/P/PH/PHRED/mod_perl-2.0.8.tar.gz ok

Native Apache + mod_sspi (transparent authentication for browsers supporting
NTLM web auth).
Don't know, in which state of things it is ATM, but that's what I was using
back in the days of Windows server.

If you clearly state, what you actually want to do, the answer usually float
to the top.

Run /usr/sbin/httpd2-config from an Administrator prompt.

An (untested) apache2-mod_perl is available in Ports.

Actually it's not that clever but it does install the service. My
problem was slightly different. See
https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2014-05/msg00142.html

I'm tempted to say: "I'm a consultant and trouble rarely follows me" ;-)
however I am also a professional. Still I do what my client asks me to
do. The client didn't even ask me to use mod_perl! In fact they don't
use it but wanted to start (that's how far behind they are(?)).
I don't even understand why I need mod_perl at all... I just want to
authenticate via LDAP to the Active Directory domain server. I set up
the basic authentication using LDAP/Active Directory authentication but
the boss is saying he'd like it make it more convenient for the
engineers and use cookies so they don't have to log in every time they
restart their browser. I looked up about authentication and cookies and
that led me to Apache2::AuthCookieLDAP, which is pulling in the whole
mod_perl thing...

This may be your problem.
While poking around in /usr/sbin, I found httpd2-config, which is 167
lines long, so it must be doing something fairly clever.
I tried it, and Cygwin Apache is running as a service on my box now.
I still think you're begging for trouble by building new software on top
of mod_perl in 2014, though. :)

First off, David Habermann, you really should respond to the list
instead of emailing me directly so that others can benefit. Dave wrote:

Although not a popular opinion, I agree with you. Cygwin based Apache works
and has a number of desirable properties.

I just went through the configs and it (httpd2-config) asked if I wanted to=
create a service,
I said yes and was all set.=20=20
/bin/cygserver-config (cygserver is apparently required)
/usr/sbin/httpd2-config
Hope this helped.
------
Yes it did! It's been a long time and in the meantime somebody made
/usr/sbin/httpd2-config which sets up the service nicely.

Let me restate. The problem is there are too many log files! There's
/var/log/apache2/[error|access]_log (which shows nothing) and
/var/log/apache2.log (which also shows nothing) but then there's
/var/log/httpd2.log which shows:
Syntax error on line 172 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot must be a directory
My DocumentRoot was "/cygdrive/a/web" because I mound my home directory
from a NetApp (I believe) to my (unused) A drive. I assure you that
"web" is a directory in my home directory. I've also tried the following
but all failed:
DocumentRoot "a:/web"
DocumentRoot "//<server>/<share>/adefaria/web"
DocumentRoot "/home/adefaria/web" # where /home/adefaria is a symlink A:
Then I created a local /web directory and moved stuff there and
restarted. Now in the error_log I see:
[Wed May 07 12:49:48 2014] [error] (28)No space left on device: Cannot
create SSLMutex Configuration Failed
My disks are not full. The only reference I see to this is
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg01017.html which doesn't
point to an eventual answer. Other googling talks only about Linux
systems and how to remove semaphores but none of the semaphores are
owned by the Apache user. Used ipcrm -s <semid> to remove all of them.
Now Apache starts!

I view my development environment as "Linux". When I don't have bona
fide Linux at my fingertips and they shove a Windows box under my
keyboard I rely on Cygwin to provide a "Linux-like" environment. True
it's not strictly "necessary" to set up a Cygwin Apache/Perl but it is
what I'm best familiar and comfortable with.

I just checked. Shut down Apache. Cleared the logfiles. Did net start
httpd2. Errored out. Checked the logs - they're empty.

I've always just used the handler.

Normally I use CGI and call start_html. This script I just grabbed off
the net as a simple test. Note that LF works just find and CRLF does not
seem to be required.

Then use Cygwin Perl! And it is THAT part of your setup that needs to be aware
of Cygwin's POSIX'y paths. Apache can be just told where to find Perl, and
that's all.

httpd --help
?
(I honestly don't remember myself, it is long since I moved all my server
stuff to Linux, and forgot about it.)

What's in Apache logs?
I suspect Apache was running at the time.

It is long (like, 10-15 years long) since recommended to use filters instead
of handlers.

The two issues are actually separate. There's nothing making you use
ActiveState Perl to run a PSGI app front-ended by native Windows Apache.
PSGI apps behind a reverse proxy simply present an HTTP interface to
the proxy. As far as the proxy server knows, the app providing that
interface could be built in F#.
(Why F#? Another new favorite tool, and about as different from Perl as
you can get. :) )

Well I do happen to have a Linux VM but usually I'm just given a Windows
laptop by my clients and must press on. Sure I could download and
install vmware and get a Linux VM setup but that's a lot of work to do
to set up a machine I'm basically only using for one thing. Sure setting
up Cygwin takes work/care/feeding but I can then use that Cygwin
installation all the time to connect to and develop stuff.

Yeah thanks for all of that but really my real goal was just to get
Apache2::AuthCookieLDAP working. That seems to require mod_perl. Of
course if mod_perl is dying then that brings in the question of "Is it
worth it to develop a login page to authenticate with Active Directory
and store cookies to ease logins if this all might be going away?".

Personally I prefer Cygwin Apache because all of the pathing then can be
POSIX-like and can easily port to Linux systems later on. Plus Cygwin's
Perl is, IMHO, far superior to ActiveState.
However I had set up Apache2 as a Windows service before so I know it's
doable. I just forget how to do it! ;-) I thought it was just to specify
-k or perhaps -DNO_DETACH or something like that...

I've been working mainly on Linux boxes and haven't had to dig in to
Cygwin deeply for a while. But I have a question or two again. I could
just switch to a Linux server but I figured I'd try my Windows laptop first.
Goal: Set up Apache2 on my Windows laptop with mod_perl working as well
as Apache2::AuthCookieLDAP and write an example login page that
authenticates to Active Directory using AuthCookieLDAP.
First problem (minor): I can't figure out how to install Apache2 as a
Windows service. For now I can just do apachectl2 start but would like
to configure it as a real service. I've tried:
Adefaria-lt:cygrunsrv -I httpd2 -d 'CYGWIN Apache2' -p
/usr/sbin/httpd2.exe -a '-DNO_DETACH'
Adefaria-lt:net start httpd2
The CYGWIN Apache2 service is starting.
The CYGWIN Apache2 service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
Adefaria-lt:
Second problem: Perl CGI scripts do not execute but just display even
though AddHandler is configured in Apache:
Adefaria-lt:grep -i 'addhandler cgi-script' /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Adefaria-lt:cat ~/web/test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>A Simple Perl CGI</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Simple Perl CGI</h1>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
HTML
exit;
Adefaria-lt:
When I go to test.pl it just gets printed as the web page. Note that PHP
is working and if I go to phpinfo.php it works just fine...
Third problem: mod_perl2 doesn't seem to want to install:
Running install for module 'mod_perl2'
Running make for P/PH/PHRED/mod_perl-2.0.8.tar.gz

You can shove a headless Linux VMs into a pretty small slice of RAM.
> Goal: Set up Apache2 on my Windows laptop with mod_perl
mod_perl has been slowly dying for years. It's not dead yet (*thwack*)
but it pretty much only works with Apache 2.2 and older. RHEL7 won't
include it at all, because it will ship with Apache 2.4.6. There are
third-party patches floating around the net that restore compatibility,
but this isn't the sort of thing you want to be building programs
against that have to live for many years to come.
Cygwin still ships Apache 2.2, but you'd be betting that either Cygwin
Apache will never be updated to 2.4, or that mod_perl will get dragged
into the modern world before that happens.
mod_perl is being allowed to die because all the modern web frameworks
have moved to PSGI/Plack instead: http://plackperl.org/
PSGI abstracts away the operating environment. You can run PSGI apps
standalone as their own web server, or behind a fast reverse proxy, or
in a FastCGI environment (e.g. Apache's mod_fcgid). From the software
development perspective, it's all the same. (Devops is a different
story, of course.)
A common pattern is to run the PSGI app with an internal web server on
localhost:3000 or whatever, then put nginx or similar in front of it to
carry the static content load and proxy dynamic page requests to the web
app.
Since the native Windows nginx port doesn't yet run as a Windows
service, it isn't suited for systems that need long uptimes, or which
can't be left logged in to an interactive desktop. The native Windows
version of Apache is only a smidge slower than nginx for many workloads,
it ships with mod_proxy to make it act as a reverse proxy, and it
naturally runs as a Windows service: http://goo.gl/woQjYZ
It is common to use HTTP::Server::PSGI (http://goo.gl/o7wmIm) for
development, and only switch to something more complicated when it comes
time to deploy to production. If your web app won't have a high load,
you may not have to switch at all. Or, if most of the load is static
content, you can push that load off onto the reverse proxy.
Single-threaded dynamic page generation is fine for many web apps.
If you really need concurrent dymamic page generation, a lot of people
use Starman (http://goo.gl/J97Ac1) rather than a traditional web server.
It is a pure Perl pre-forking web server, compatible with PSGI, and
fast enough that a lot of its users don't use a reverse proxy in front
of it at all.
If you go Perl-native, your web app can run as a single-instance
program, which can have tremendous benefits. A lot of old web
frameworks persist session data to disk purely because it assumes it
will run under pre-forking Apache, where there are many short-lived
children that may contend for access to the session store. When all I/O
comes into a single long-lived process, you might not have to persist
some things to disk at all, greatly reducing that area of I/O overhead.
Single-instance web apps also don't have to pay other penalties
associated with periodically killing off an restarting child forks.
You don't have to use PSGI/Plack directly. All of the modern Perl web
frameworks -- Catalyst, Mojolicious, Mason/Poet -- will run under it,
providing a much nicer usage environment. I've been using Dancer
(http://perldancer.org/) for months now, and love it. I just tested,
and it does build and run under Cygwin. Install App::cpanminus with
cpan, then just say "cpanm Dancer". Done, easy.
(I chose Dancer because it doesn't impose MVC or ORM policies like a lot
of other web frameworks do. (Catalyst, Rails, Zope, etc.) You're free
to design your web app however it makes sense to you.)
If you do go with Dancer or something like it, you don't need to use
Cygwin Apache. The native Windows version of Apache will perform much
better, and when used as a reverse proxy, you probably won't need any of
the benefits you get from using Cygwin Apache which native Apache
wouldn't have, such as the ability to compile and load some of the more
esoteric modules that only build on POSIXy systems.

Another reason to native Windows Apache instead.

I've been working mainly on Linux boxes and haven't had to dig in to
Cygwin deeply for a while. But I have a question or two again. I could
just switch to a Linux server but I figured I'd try my Windows laptop
first.
Goal: Set up Apache2 on my Windows laptop with mod_perl working as well
as Apache2::AuthCookieLDAP and write an example login page that
authenticates to Active Directory using AuthCookieLDAP.
First problem (minor): I can't figure out how to install Apache2 as a
Windows service. For now I can just do apachectl2 start but would like
to configure it as a real service. I've tried:
Adefaria-lt:cygrunsrv -I httpd2 -d 'CYGWIN Apache2' -p
/usr/sbin/httpd2.exe -a '-DNO_DETACH'
Adefaria-lt:net start httpd2
The CYGWIN Apache2 service is starting.
The CYGWIN Apache2 service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

Second problem: Perl CGI scripts do not execute but just display even
though AddHandler is configured in Apache:
Adefaria-lt:grep -i 'addhandler cgi-script' /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Adefaria-lt:cat ~/web/test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>A Simple Perl CGI</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Simple Perl CGI</h1>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
HTML
exit;

When I go to test.pl it just gets printed as the web page. Note that PHP
is working and if I go to phpinfo.php it works just fine...
Third problem: mod_perl2 doesn't seem to want to install:
Running install for module 'mod_perl2'
Running make for P/PH/PHRED/mod_perl-2.0.8.tar.gz
Checksum for
/home/adefaria/.cpan/sources/authors/id/P/PH/PHRED/mod_perl-2.0.8.tar.gz ok
