Hi Gurus,
I'm using Apache 1.3.33 with mod_perl 1.29. In Apache httpd.conf file I'm
loading external perl directives using:
PerlRequire startup.pl
I've checked, that during apache startup 'startup.pl' runs two times. And
I want, that this script runs only once (because I'm allocating there
shared memory areas for later use).
So, question is: how to force Apache to run this script exactly once during
startup.
In my other servers with previous versions of Apache and mod_perl I've used
in startup script directive:
return 1 if ( getppid() != 1 );
and it solved the problem - commands after this one were executed only
once. But now it doesn't work.
I've tried this in startup.pl:
WriteToDebugFile( "begin, getppid=".getppid()." getpid=".$$." );
return 1 if ( getppid() != 1 );
WriteToDebugFile( "Done" );
And after apache run i've found in debug-file this:
begin, getppid=1005 getpid=1006
begin, getppid=1005 getpid=1006
I've checked pid's of starting Apache processes:
1. I've started Apache:
sh /www/apache_1.3.33/bin/apachectl start
(Pid: 1005, Parent: 1004)
2. One process was started
/www/apache_1.3.33/bin/httpd -f /www/conf/httpd.conf
(Pid: 1006, Parent: 1005)
3. After some time (and executing TWO times startup.pl) apache was ready:
/www/apache_1.3.33/bin/httpd -f /www/conf/httpd.conf
(Pid:1009, Parent: 1)
/www/apache_1.3.33/bin/httpd -f /www/conf/httpd.conf
(Pid: 1012, Parent 1009)
