Hi List,
New to mod_perl, but have a specific project in
mind, that will immerse me in it.
Wondering if someone could comment on both the
possibility of, and the wisdom of, pulling server configs dynamically from a
database WITHOUT requiring server restart.
Prime example: you've added a new name-based
virtual host, and you've stored all of his permissions and stuff in a MySQL
database. This host has paid to have PHP turned on in his directories, so you
want to do something like
php_admin_flag engine on
for this host only. No problem...restart the server
and have mod_perl read the info it needs to reconfigure the server from the
database. My question is, is there a way to do this WITHOUT having to restart
the server. Would there be too much overhead to read from the database on every
request? So would there be a way to 'cache' the lookup? Are there any existing
examples I could be directed to?
