mod_pascal

Apache 2.4 module implementation which is capable of executing Pascal program just like scripting language. Read mod_pascal documentation for more information.

Requirement

• Free Pascal compiler
• Apache 2.4

Setup

Compile mod_pascal

$ git clone https://github.com/zamronypj/mod_pascal.git
$ cd mod_pascal && ./setup.cfg.sh && ./build.sh

If compilation is successful, new executable binary will be created bin/mod_pascal.so.

Add Apache configuration to load module

For example in Debian,

Create pascal.conf file in /etc/apache2/mods-available directory with content as follows,

<IfModule pascal_module>
    # handle all files having .pas extension
    AddHandler pascal-handler .pas
</IfModule>

Create pascal.load file in /etc/apache2/mods-available directory with content as follows,

LoadModule pascal_module /path/to/mod_pascal.so

It is important that you use pascal_module to identify mod_pascal module and pascal-handler to identify handler.

Enable mod_pascal

Create symlink to pascal.conf and pascal.load in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory

$ cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
$ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/pascal.conf
$ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/pascal.load

Alternatively, you can also use a2enmod command to enable mod_pascal.

$ sudo a2enmod pascal

Restart Apache

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Execute Pascal program

Create Pascal program, for example /var/www/html/test.pas with content as follows,

begin
    writeln('Hello from Pascal');
end.

Open URL http://localhost/test.pas from Internet browser, you should see text Hello from Pascal printed in browser. If you do not see text, something is wrong.
