RE: [OT] unsubscribing was Re: Varaible scope & memory under mod_perl
First of All, I would like to thank you all for quick responses. This is my situation. I originally joined this list as another user (having different user email account). Now I got those emails from the alias of my original account. If I just send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I believe that it does not help because I never joined the list as my current email. How could I unsubscribe my original account by my current email. Is there any way I could put my original email in the body or somewhere.

AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Varaible scope &
memory under mod_perl
I have a module that I built on my own to handle
user authentication. At the moment, every perl script that I have calls
a method in this module using a cookie (Supplied by browser) as an
argument. Eventually I want to turn this into a mod_perl handler which
instead of returning the autherized user information (in a scalar called $uid)
will add a key to $ENV containing the authorized user id.
However, for the moment I have trouble in that
the $uid variables (or possibly the $cookie variables) are being remembered
between callings of the scripts. This results in unauthenticated users
recieving access t incorrect accounts. (Even authenticated users get
other peoples accounts occasionally).
In short, the module is called
TFile::Authenticate, and it has a "use" line in my mod_perl startup script, to
maximize persistance and minimize compile/load time. Additionally, each
cgi script (for they are still all scripts) "use"s the module.
Basically, the common authorization code in each
script looks something like this:
my $q=new CGI;my
$cookid=$q->cookie('sessionlid');if (!(defined($cookid))) {print
"Location: /login.html\r\n\r\n";exit;}my $uid=eval 'check_auth($cookid);';
#The above line calls the authentication script
which will return a valid $uid or undef if not validif (!(defined($uid)))
{print "Location: /login.html\r\n\r\n";exit;}my
$cookie=$q->cookie(-name=>"sessionlid",-value=>$cookid,-expires=>expdate_auth($cookid));
The scripts then proceed to do their work and
when they return content, contain the command
print STDOUT "Set-Cookie:
$cookie\r\n";
Now I _know_ that some of the variables are being
persistant, because when doing a telnet localhost 80, and requesting a
script, I actually got a response including a cookie for a valid
authentication. Now, I'm still really not sure about
how the persistance works, so I suppose I could just do something
like:
my $uid=undef;
my $cookid=undef;
my $cookie=undef;
...
If I include that at the beginning of all of the scripts, it could work,
but it seems to me to be a bit messy; I'm sure there's a better way.
Additionally, can anyone think of a better way to add a handler to
the existing TFile::Authenticate module for mod_perl scripts, while leaving
the public interfaces open for normal CGI (or any other) scripts?
Thanks,
Issac

Re: Missing src/include/alloc.h ?
Hi Gang:
First of all, i would like to apologize this email for non-modperl question. I
really have trouble to
find correct discussion group to ask help. The question is:
I wrote a perl script to send out my postcard for over 300 my friends. The
textbody is my postcard which is html file
including over 30 images. I want all of my friends see the postcard immediately
but not html file. I tried and tested. My friends
just got html file not postcard. How can i do that? I know that if you send it
from netscape message, you have choice using
send html but i have to write script for over 300 people. Is any way to do
that? Thank you very much for advices. Enclude
is the original script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$|=1;
$body = `cat ./test.html`;
open(ADDR, "./testaddr");
while() {
$all_info = $_;
($addressee,$lastname,$firstname) = split(/\|/,$all_info);
#$addressee =~ s/^\s+//;
#$addressee =~ s/\s+$//;
#$comment =~ s/^\s+//;
#$comment =~ s/\s+$//;
if($addressee =~ /\@/) {
chop $firstname;
open( OUTPUT, "| /usr/lib/sendmail -oi " . $addressee ) ;
select( OUTPUT ) ;
print "To: <$firstname $lastname> <$addressee>\n" ;
print "From: Postcard_Center\@test\.com\n";
print "Subject: Win A Free Visit from TEST.COM\n\n";
print "\nDear $firstname $lastname,\n\n\n";
print "$body\n";
}
}
close(ADDR);
exit(1);
testaddr is text file for all of email address.
test.html is body which is html file.
I hope that my friends can see my postcard not html source. Thank you very
much.
Steven.

Re: Web server log wrong time.
Hi Jim: We are starting httpd web server as root, then spawn httpd as www. They all have timezone setup as CDT. I checked the date from different shell. They are all correct. I have /etc/localtime pointing to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central. I don't know why it uses raw clock. Thank you very much. Steven.

Re: Web server log wrong time.
Hi Tom: Thank you for your quick answer. Actually i set my machine timezone point to -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Centeral. This is why my machine system time is correct without any problem. If my script runs from command line, it is also correct. The only problem comes from web server which logs wrong time and shows wrong time on broswer. Is anyway to make web server timezone same as system timezone. How could web server has different timezone? Is anywasy to reset web server timezone in httpd.conf or somewhere else. Thank you very much. Steven...

Web server log wrong time.
Hi All: I compiled and installed new web server (most recent apache and mod perl). Every is fine except that all scripts show wrong time. But it is not only script problem. If i checked with the access.log file, the log time is also wrong. For instance, the current local time is 11:38 and my system time is also 11:38. But the script shows the result: 16:38 and access.log file shows 16:38. it is always 5 hrs more. It is really timezone problem. I compiled apache many times, never met the situation. Because it was compiled by local machne, the default timezone should be same as my local machine timezone but it is not. How can i reset the timezone from httpd.conf or Do i need to recompile the apache or any another way i can do? Please help me. Thank you very much... Steven.
Wrong Time
Hi All: We have a script to output time and date. It used to work fine. Since upgrdaing modperl (both apache and modperl are most recent version), the script shows wrong time. If i run the script from command line, it wroks fine without any problem. I test that from IE and Netscape. Both show same wrong time. I am sure that the problem comes from web server. How can i fix this problem. We installed web server many times. I don't rememeber that any configurations need to deal with time issue. If anybody knows that, would you please share your fix with me. Thank you very much. Steven.
Re: document contained no data
This script should do sql things. After processing sql thing, it shoulld print some output. Now sql thing is correct because i can see that the data was in database, but output got this message.

Re: document contained no data
I posted the message again because it didn't work when i put $| = 1; or $r->rflush() at top or around print statement as some people suggested. It is very confused. it should work without putting those things. The thing affects performance. What i need to do, your any answers would be very much appreciated.

document contained no data
Hi, All: We have a coffee site with apache_1.3.9, modperl_1.2.1 and mysql database. It works fine in most time. But sometimes it is strange. For instance, the same script works fine sometimes, but sometimes it popups a window with message "The document contained no data Try again later, or contact the server's administrator". It seems that the print statement does not work fine. Any idea. Thank in advance for your quick reply. Steven.
Re: Modperl Test Problem and Redhat6.2 Apache::DBI strange thing. Thanks.
Thank you for your quick answer. Is any way to find the thread about this issue quickly? I got most recent modperl and apache. I did all as you said as root. But test is always problem. I has another machine. The machine has no problem for any version modperl and apache at all, always pass test. I guess that we missed something. But it does not make sense because this professional OS redhat6.2 is preinstalled on machine, should include all necessary libraries... I have no idea, compiler does not complain any thing, even no warnings or errors... For redhat modperl rpm installation, i did not put PerlModule Apache::DBI httpd.conf. Why i still can connect database(most time it is fine, but sometimes it is not fine.) because i put PerlModule Apache::DBI in httpd.conf. The web server does not startup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Steven.

Modperl Test Problem and Redhat6.2 Apache::DBI strange thing. Thanks.
Hi All: Thank you all for taking time to read this message. I got two things that i really don't understand. 1. I got RedHat6.2. I tried to install modperl. Apache1.3.12 and modperl 1.24. I installed every prerequired package. Configuration is fine and compiling is fine without any errors. But i never got test passed. The error messages: httpd listening on port 8529 will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log letting apache warm up...\c done /usr/bin/perl t/TEST 0 still waiting for server to warm up...not ok server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log) at t/TEST line 95. make: *** [run_tests] Error 9 I check error.log file: [notice] Destruction->DESTROY called for $global_object [Tue Jun 13 18:42:39 2000] [warn] [notice] child_init for process 20497, report any problems to [no address given] There is nothing i can do. I am so frustrated because we has another machine upgrated from redhat5.2 to 6.1. We installed modperl without any problem. We tested everything ok. Please point out. Greate Thanks. 2. Since i can't get my new modperl running. I just use modperl coming with redhat6.2. The weired thing is that if i put PerlModule Apache::DBI in httpd.conf, the web server can not startup. If i take that out, the server can connect with database ( because i put use DBI; in perl script file?). But i can't get persistent connections, sometimes it can connect with database (mysql), sometimes it can't connect database with the following errors DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at cnznetmod.pm line 1 59. DBD::mysql::st fetchrow failed: fetch() without execute() at cnznetmod.pm line 1 60. DBD::mysql::db do failed: MySQL server has gone away at cnznetmod.pm line 151. DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at cnznetmod.pm line 1 59. DBD::mysql::st fetchrow failed: fetch() without execute() at cnznetmod.pm line 1 60. DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at cnznetmod.pm line 1 30. DBD::mysql::st fetchrow failed: fetch() without execute() at cnznetmod.pm line 1 31. But it works in most time. I can't turn on debug because i can't put PerlModule Apache::DBI in httpd.conf. Thank you very much... Steven.
