###To install and configure mod_epp (on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

• sudo apt-get install apache2
• sudo apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev
• sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
• sudo apt-get install apache2-dbg (Actually I don't think this is needed, but while debugging I installed this too)
• Download mod_epp 1.10
• tar -xzf mod_epp-1.10.tar.gz
• cd mod_epp-1.10

NB! Beacause Rack multipart parser expects specifically formatted content boundaries, the mod_epp needs to be modified before building

• sudo apxs2 -a -c -i mod_epp.c
• sudo a2enmod cgi
• sudo a2enmod authn_file
• sudo a2enmod proxy_http
• sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/htpasswd test
• Type "test" when prompted
• cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin
• mkdir epp
• Copy the files from $mod_epp/examples/cgis to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/epp (this is just for now)
• cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
• nano epp.conf

Add:

<IfModule mod_epp.c>
  <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/epp">
    Options ExecCGI
    SetHandler cgi-script
  </Directory>

  Listen  1701
  <VirtualHost *:1701>
    EPPEngine On
    EPPCommandRoot          /proxy/command
    EPPSessionRoot          /proxy/session
    ProxyPass /proxy/ http://localhost:8080/epp/

    EPPErrorRoot         /cgi-bin/epp/error

    EPPAuthURI implicit
    EPPReturncodeHeader     X-EPP-Returncode
  </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

• a2ensite epp
• sudo service apache2 restart

Try it out:

• Fire up your appserver (I tested this setup with Unicorn)
• cd $mod_epp
• ./epptelnet.pl localhost 1701

You should receive the greeting from the registry server. Wait for a complete paragraph of text on STDIN before sending EPP/TCP frame.

<epp><command>
  <login>
    <clID>test</clID>
    <pw>test</pw>
  </login>
  <clTRID>sample1trid</clTRID>
</command></epp>

Alternative virtual host config is as follows: This needs a static greeting file, so you will have to make /var/www writable.

<IfModule mod_epp.c>
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/epp">
        Options ExecCGI
        SetHandler cgi-script
    </Directory>
