DESCRIPTION

The working directory of the web site must be set. We will change to and run in this directory. This is also the reflected directory which limits the request's scope.

=pod:Environment variables

WORKING_DIR

The working directory is just that. Since multiple threads (hence multiple sites) share this interpreter, a change to this directy is issued on each request.

PerlSetEnv WORKING_DIR "/var/www/html"

CONF_FILE

By default configuration is read from a file named .conf in your working directory. To use a different one, specify it here. It must reside beneath your working directory, and this path is relative to the working directory. For example:

PerlSetEnv CONF_FILE "/conf/custom.conf"

would resolve to:

$WORKING_DIR/conf/custom.conf

DEBUG

To generate debug messages (written to stderr), set this to a true value.

PerlSetEnv DEBUG "1"
