Table 14 1. Migrating from

dbmmanage

to

htdbm

The

 m

and

 s

options work with both

dbmmanage

and

htdbm

, enabling the use of the MD5 or SHA1

algorithms for hashing passwords, respectively.

When creating a new database with

htdbm

, the

 c

option must be used.

For more on this topic, refer to the following documentation on the Apache Software Foundation's

website:

14.2.4.5. The

mod_perl

Module

The configuration for

mod_perl

has been moved from

httpd.conf

into the file

/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf

. For this file to be loaded, and hence for

mod_perl

to work, you

must have the statement

Include conf.d/*.conf

in your

httpd.conf

as described in Section

14.2.1.3.

Occurances of

Apache::

in your

httpd.conf

must be replaced with

ModPerl::

. Additionally, the

manner in which handlers are registered has been changed.

This is a sample Apache HTTP Server 1.3

mod_perl

configuration:

Directory /var/www/perl

SetHandler perl script

PerlHandler Apache::Registry

Options +ExecCGI

/Directory

This is the equivalent

mod_perl

for Apache HTTP Server 2.0:

Directory /var/www/perl

SetHandler perl script

PerlModule ModPerl::Registry

PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry::handler

Options +ExecCGI

/Directory

Most modules for

mod_perl

1.x should work without modification with

mod_perl

2.x. XS modules

will require recompilation and may possibly require minor Makefile modifications.
