Hi all,
I'm using the logging API ($s->notice("...")) in some code that is loaded at startup using PerlRequire.
As mentionned in the docs on the Apache server cycle, my code is executed twice. The first time the code is executed, I see the log statements appear on STDERR when Apache is restarted (I use /etc/init.d/httpd restart).
The problem is that I don't see the log statements in the Apache log file for the second execution. The logging seems to be disabled at this point.
Is this normal / a know problem? Is there any way to get the logging to work on the second execution? My code does more stuff the second time around and I can't see what's happening...
It's normal. Your code is running twice, but stderr is closed by Apache during the restart's config and open_logs phases. it's reopen for the post_config phase.
In Apache 2.0 one should avoid running startup code at config phase, unless it's httpd.conf-specific. Instead post_config should be used. replace:
PerlRequire with PerlPostConfigRequire http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlPostConfigRequire_
You will need the latest dev version to get this new feature: http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution
I plan to write more docs explaining the issue.
I'm using mod_perl 1.99_07-5 (latest version according to yum...) on RedHat 9.0. Maybe my version is too old....
Your version is *very* old (like 2+ years old), but this particular issue will be still there. It's an Apache issue/feature.
