I am currently upgrading our Apache server from 1.3 to 2.2 and I'm
encountering the following error when I try to start Apache. The config
works ok in 1.3, however in 2.2 I get the following error 'Perl directive
not allowed in a <Location> block'.

Can I no longer put a perl directive in a location block?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
<Location />
PerlSetVar CHART_LOCATION bottom
PerlSetVar CRM 1

<Perl>
Some perl code
</Perl>

</Location>
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks,
Kevin

    Not anymore, no.

    Can you post a more detailled example of what you are trying to do?

    I'm basically pulling client options from our database and setting them in
    the conf file. What would the workaround be since this option has been
    removed?

    <Location />
    <Perl>
    my $config = Config::ApacheConfiguration->new();
    my @clientOptions = $config->GetClientConfiguration('5');
    push @PerlSetVar, @clientOptions;
    </Perl>
    </Location>

    Just moving out of the <location /> should work just fine, no?

    Otherwise, you can always do:

    <perl>
    $Location{'/'} =
    </perl>

    To inject configuration for that location.

    I have many <Location> blocks within a <VirtualHost> block so I can't move
    it out. I can use the $Location way but I simply liked the ease of reading
    the config file the way I did it in v1.3 of Apache.

    Do you need to declare everything in the $Location or can you use it to
    append to the existing <Location> block thats been written out using tags.


    Thanks,
    Kevin
