[rt-devel] RT3, FastCgi, and Solaris

[Michael K. Brown]

Hi Matt!

I'm having the same problem with Solaris 8 and FastCGI, freshly compiled
apache.  You're not the only one!

Hope somebody can help us out!

Has anyone been successful getting FastCGI to work right out of the box
under Solaris?  Unless I make code changes, running mason_handler.fcgi
gives me:

copper {local/rt3/bin} % /usr/local/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi
Can't locate /dev/fd/webmux.pl in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl) at
/dev/fd/3 line 28.
Exit 2

The problem appears to be that suidperl is given the perl script as
/dev/fd/3, and so you lose the original __FILE__ contents.
mason_handler.fcgi uses that to determine where to look for the
webmux.pl
file.  If I hardcode the path into the script, things work just fine.

I haven't thought of a portable way of fixing this yet, but thought that
maybe someone else has.
