I have tried to install Apache-DBI from TheoryX but ppm gave an error: Error: no suitable installation target found for package Apache-DBI.
How can I apply that patch manually? Do I need to edit the module Apache::DBI by hand? (Under Windows) Thanks. Teddy From: "Randy Kobes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It looks from some comments in the latest Apache::DBI (version 0.94) that the connect_on_init method hasn't been completely ported to mod_perl 2 yet. Can you try the following patch against Apache::DBI (version 0.94) - if you're using ppm on Win32, you can get this from the Apache-DBI.ppd package in the http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ repository. ============================================================== --- DBI.pm~ Tue Feb 17 18:18:50 2004 +++ DBI.pm Tue Dec 28 16:43:46 2004 @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ # 1: report about new connect # 2: full debug output -$Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 0; +$Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 2; #DBI->trace(2); my %Connected; # cache for database handles @@ -23,6 +23,8 @@ my %LastPingTime; # keeps track of last ping per data_source my $Idx; # key of %Connected and %Rollback. +use Apache::ServerUtil (); +my $s = Apache->server; # supposed to be called in a startup script. # stores the data_source of all connections, which are supposed to be created upon @@ -32,9 +34,8 @@ # provide a handler which creates all connections during server startup # TODO - Should check for mod_perl 2 and do the right thing there - carp "Apache.pm was not loaded\n" and return unless $INC{'Apache.pm'}; - if([EMAIL PROTECTED] and Apache->can('push_handlers')) { - Apache->push_handlers(PerlChildInitHandler => \&childinit); + if([EMAIL PROTECTED]) { + $s->push_handlers(PerlChildInitHandler => \&childinit); } # store connections push @ChildConnect, [EMAIL PROTECTED]; @@ -96,7 +97,7 @@ # TODO - Fix mod_perl 2.0 here if(!$Rollback{$Idx} and $needCleanup and Apache->can('push_handlers')) { print STDERR "$prefix push PerlCleanupHandler \n" if $Apache::DBI::DEBUG > 1; - Apache->push_handlers("PerlCleanupHandler", \&cleanup); + $s->push_handlers("PerlCleanupHandler", \&cleanup); # make sure, that the rollback is called only once for every # request, even if the script calls connect more than once $Rollback{$Idx} = 1; ============================================================================ ======== Does this help? -- best regards, randy kobes -- 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
