Dreamwidth Install with Virtual Hosts?

[texasmath]

A bit of background - I run a website serving a small but dedicated education community. I was running Ubuntu 8.04 and was successfully running a webserver hosting the website, phpbb forum, wiki, and a livejournal (using apache-perl on a different port) client for our group. My computer crashed during a bad rainstorm, and I took this opportunity to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04. I've been able to restore the website, wiki, and phpbb forum, but wanted to get dreamwidth on, so I wouldn't have to use a different port.

Using the Scratch Installation, I can get dreamwidth exclusively to run correctly by using the "stage" file, but I lose all my other services (wiki/forum/other web pages.)

When I try to implement these commands in my virtual host, I run into a lot of issues.

My Virtual host block looks like this:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.org/
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.org
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName wiki.example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.org/wiki
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log common
    Redirect permanent / http://www.example.org/wiki
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName forum.example.org
    Redirect permanent / http://www.example.org/forum/
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.org/forum/
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    PerlOptions +Clone
    ServerName journal.example.org
    DocumentRoot /home/dw/htdocs
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.org_log common
    PerlSetEnv LJHOME /home/dw
    SetEnv LJHOME /home/dw
    PerlPassEnv LJHOME
    SetHandler perl-script
#    PerlConfigRequire /home/dw/cgi-bin/modperl.pl
</VirtualHost>

This allow my webserver to serve all the pages, but doesn't render the bml correctly. When I uncomment the PerlConfigureRequire, I get the following error:


* Restarting web server apache2 Use of uninitialized value $LJ::HOME in concatenation (.) or string at /home/dw/cgi-bin/LJ/LJ/Config.pm line 74.

For the record, /home/dw/cgi-bin/CSS/Cleaner.pm exists, and is the same as this.

I know that virtual hosts are "discouraged" because the dreamwidth code can be memory and processor intensive, but this same system was able to handle 20-30 user accounts for our group.

Can anyone give me a clue how to tweak my virtual host to render the bml correctly?

I appreciate all the help you can offer!

Hmm, oh right, try running those commands from:

$LJHOME/cvs/dw-free


rather than from $LJHOME.


Also, I think that might mean that it's not loading the s2 libraries in properly? What values do you get from DW->home? What values are set for $LJ::HOME, and $ENV{LJHOME}? Are all of them correct/as you'd expect?

(Wrong account!)

Sorry, open house night at school left me exhausted.

Not sure how to get the other information you need. I'm not very fluent in Perl.

Thanks for all your help!
