Re: A simple mod_ruby file handler example

thats similar to what i have succeeded with
{ive done mod_perl before so i managed to piece things together}

included into httpd.conf 

RubyRequire newhandler
<Location /clay>
SetHandler ruby-object
RubyHandler Clay::Handle.instance
</Location>

my ruby file newhandler.rb:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
module Clay
  class Handle < Apache::RubyRun
    def handler( r )
      begin
        r.content_type = 'text/html'
        r.send_http_header
        r.print( "hiya<br> Time is #{Time.now}" )
        return Apache::OK
      end
    end
  end  
end 



if i use your i get

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/singleton.rb:84: warning: already initialized constant
FirstInstanceCall
[Thu Apr 28 14:46:50 2005] [error] mod_ruby: failed to require
apache/file-handler
[Thu Apr 28 14:46:50 2005] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby
[Thu Apr 28 14:46:50 2005] [error]
mod_ruby: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/singleton.rb:167:in `undef_method':
undefined method `extend_object' for `Singleton' (NameError)


unless i remove 

RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

in the conf file


mine works without removing this line 


Can someone shed some light on which way is best?

BTW I based mine of of the Arrow code base
Arrow::Dispatch to be precise
