==== startup.pl ==== | |||
This file is used to preload Perl module in Apache. | |||
It contains a path that needs to be updated: | |||
<pre> | |||
# Needs to be configured | |||
use lib "/home/obf/cgi/"; | |||
</pre> | |||
==== Config.pm ==== | |||
==== Config2.pm ==== | |||
Contains info about the domain, database and path. This is separated from Config.pm so that it is easy to create test instance that share the same configuration in Config.pm but are on other domains. | |||
<pre> | |||
# server constants | |||
$domain = "openbeautyfacts.org"; | |||
# server paths | |||
$www_root = "/home/obf/html"; | |||
$data_root = "/home/obf"; | |||
$mongodb = "obf"; | |||

In production we use a light weight Apache web server for static files (e.g. images) that does reverse proxying to a modperl Apache server that dynamically generates the HTML pages. | |||
If the trafic is low or moderate, you can use only one Apache mod_perl server that also serves images etc. | |||
In the example below, the Apache mod_perl server listens on port 19000. | |||
