7 Shared Hosting

10 So, you want to put your Catalyst application out there for the whole
11 world to see, but you don't want to break the bank. There is an answer
12 - if you can get shared hosting with FastCGI and a shell, you can
13 install your Catalyst app in a local directory on your shared host.
14 First, run
15
16 perl -MCPAN -e shell
17
18 and go through the standard CPAN configuration process. Then exit
19 without installing anything. Next, download the latest local::lib
20 package and follow its 'bootstrap' instructions to get it installed and
21 the local configuration added to your "~/.bashrc".
22
23 Now log out, then back in again (or run ". .bashrc" if you prefer).
24
25 Now you can install the modules you need using CPAN as normal; they
26 will be installed into your local directory, and Perl will pick them
27 up. Finally, change into the root directory of your virtual host, and
28 symlink your application's script directory:
29
30 cd path/to/mydomain.com
31 ln -s ~/lib/MyApp/script script
32
33 And add the following lines to your .htaccess file (assuming the server
34 is setup to handle .pl as fcgi - you may need to rename the script to
35 myapp_fastcgi.fcgi and/or use a SetHandler directive):
36
37 RewriteEngine On
38 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?script/myapp_fastcgi.pl
39 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ script/myapp_fastcgi.pl/$1 [PT,L]
40
41 Now "http://mydomain.com/" should now Just Work. Congratulations, now
42 you can tell your friends about your new website.
