install scoop without root
By Andrew Dvorak , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Mon Jul 30, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST

I thought I read a story about this somewhere but I couldn't find it. I would like to be able to run scoop without access to httpd.conf. Is there a solution that allows me to do this? If not, an interface through a perl script may be useful.

For example, I would place scoop's main directory in my web root folder for http://scoopsite.com/scoop/

In /scoop/, a file named index.pl would exist. That way, I could request http://scoopsite.com/scoop/?op=submitstory and "?op=submitstory" would be fed to index.pl which would know how to handle it. At least with this solution I wouldn't require root access to the host computer.

Or! If a solution exists, I would like to know. Thanks.

I'm not a programmer so feedback is appreciated :-) .

Still mod_perl? (none / 0) (#1)

If you're talking about still running under mod_perl, then you might be able to use a .htaccess file in that dir to run Scoop. Or, if you can't do that, maybe you could use Apache::Registry. It'd be a bit weird, but could be done. You'd just have to get the Apache object, load up dir_config with values, then call Scoop::ApacheHandler::handle (at least, I think so :). So a hash with the same key/value stuff as is in httpd.conf, then loop over it and do "$r->dir_config->set($k => $v)", then just pass off to the normal Scoop.

If you're talking about non-mod_perl, that's not going to happen, or at least not any time soon. Scoop requires mod_perl, just like it requires a database.

Actually, it is the default Router IP 192.168.l.254 for the TP-LINK wireless router and it's provided to the user after it is bought from the manufacturers.

They should know about these important details during the purchase of router device. The router manual is actually containing these essential details so users have to keep router manuals very safely otherwise they have to face some serious challenging issues in finding the default informations like ip address 192.168.o.1.1.
