Hello,I'm trying to connect to my postgresql database using the DBI -> Apache::CBI -> DBD::Pg combination of modules. I'm having trouble understanding Apache::DBI usage as it pertains to https pre request server life cycle, in particular during the OpenLogs stage. My trouble comes from an error I'm getting from DBI: Global $r object is not available. Set: PerlOptions +GlobalRequest in httpd.conf at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Apache/DBI.pm line 144. So, obviously, the Apache::RequestRec object hasn't been globalized because it's before the request stage (the child processes haven't even been forked yet.) If I use DBI in my startup.pl file first, no problems, but Apache::DBI says to have it load before DBI to use the persistent connections it offers, thus my dilemma. So, what do I do?
Don't use Apache::DBI 1.07 and try to do this, because as you've discovered, it's broken.
