Usually this is caused by an inactivity timeout on your database server. If you call DBI->connect before that, Apache::DBI will ping the connection to make sure it is still live and re-connect if it isn't. > b) I built mod_perl and apache with EVERYTHING=1. > Should I expect DBI.pm appear in Apache directory? EVERYTHING=1 affects which hooks are enabled for mod_perl handlers. It has nothing to do with which modules will be available. Apache::DBI comes with mod_perl, and you should see it in your site_perl directory. It is a pure perl module, so it would not be under an i386 directory (or whatever your architecture is). If you can do PerlModule Apache::DBI in your program without failure, it means that it is there in your @INC path. - Perrin -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
