I have this problem where we get a series of errors like this:
[Sun Mar 12 16:29:23 2006] [error] Can't locate object method "pnotes" via
package "StrategyV2::Careers" at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux/Apache/Request.pm line 36.\n
but where the package changes depending on what page was being hit. It would
appear that what's happening is that somehow, something other than an a request
object is getting passed into my handler sub. The code that causes this error
(in this example anyway, it has happened on practically every package) is this:
sub handler{
my $r = shift;
my $req = Apache::Request->instance($r);
.....
}
When these start happening, they are fixed by a restart. If they happen when
there isn't someone around to do that they persists for a while, then stop.
I'm pretty much at a loss as to how to fix it, or even how to try to figure out
what's going on. I've never had the problem actually occur on our development
box, only in production, and i haven't been able to find any event that
precipitates them.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do, or what i can look at to try to
fix this? It only happens about twice a week or so, but when it does we can
get about 50 500's because of it.
