Enrico,
If I do migrate to Apache::SessionManager will this problem disappear? I
started looking into the transformation and it appears as if it will be a
good bit of work to accomplish the entire cutover and I just want to make
for sure that it's not something I'd have to build into my app anyway.
The reason I ask is because I was having some trouble with the
configuration? After putting the following into the httpd.conf file
## BEGIN CONFIGURATION
PerlRequire /usr/local/apache/conf/startup.pl
PerlWarn On
PerlFreshRestart On
PerlModule Apache::SessionManager
PerlTransHandler Apache::SessionManager
Alias /perl /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlSendHeader On
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSetVar SessionManagerTracking On
PerlSetVar SessionManagerExpire 120
PerlSetVar SessionManagerInactivity 900
PerlSetVar SessionManagerName SESSION_ID
PerlSetVar SessionManagerStore File
PerlSetVar SessionManagerStoreArgs "Directory => /tmp/sessions"
PerlSetVar SessionManagerDebug 0
Options ExecCGI
allow from all
</Location>
and using the code........
## BEGIN CODE
sub validate {
my $r=shift;
my $cgi=new CGI;
my $session = Apache::SessionManager::get_session($r);
if (($$session{logged_in} eq "Y")){
return $session;
}else{
print $cgi->redirect('http://' . $ENV{HTTP_HOST} .
'/perl/sess.cgi');
return $session;
}
}
I always get the error:
Can't locate object method "pnotes" via package "<package_name>" at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/SessionManager.pm line 202,
<TheFile> line 28.
I'm sure I'm going about something wrong, but I seem to have hit a
roadblock.....do I need to write my own handler for this?
thnx,
~j
