Apache Cache configuration

2009-03-02 Thread dreamice

Dear All,

I configured the Apache cache mode by following the httpd document sample.
My configure is:

IfModule mod_cache.c
IfModule mod_mem_cache.c
CacheEnable mem /
CacheRoot /home/alex/apache/logs
MCacheSize 4096
MCacheMaxObjectCount 1000
MCacheMinObjectSize 1
MCacheMaxObjectSize 2048
MCacheRemovalAlgorithm  LRU
/IfModule
/IfModule

Unfortunately, there is no cache in my system. And all the client requests
are passed to the real server.
BTW, my equipment is acted as a reverse proxy.

Hope you can help me.
Thanks a lot.

My httpd version is 2.2.11, Is there anything wrong with that?
Thanks

You're using the memory cache, so you're not going to find any cache on 
disk (I am assuming you expect to find it at /home/alex/apache/logs?).


You're probably looking for the disk cache instead.

Also, make sure your content is cacheable in the first place. Many 
application servers put cache control headers in that ask caches not to 
cache, and httpd will respect these headers.

 Why uninstall has been removed?


 uninstall was never removed, it was just never there in the first place.

 The uninstall target is typically put there by automake, and httpd has
 never used automake (or not to my knowledge anyway).

Dear Graham,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I am using mem cache. When I test this case, I find that the client's
request is directly passed to the real server.
As I test the disk mode, there is also no data cached on my directory.
I dont know why.
Could any one come across with this case?
The reverse proxy mode.
Thanks

[PATCH] fix recognition of APR 2.x

2009-03-02 Thread Jeff Trawick
Check out trunk.  Check out APR trunk and APR-Util trunk into srclib/apr and
srclib/apr-util.  ./configure --with-included-apr.  See error messages
containing apr-1-config scroll by.

trunk/configure.in looks for apr-2-config, but it does so before srclib/apr
is configured, when apr-2-config doesn't exist (unless the user configures
srclib/apr first).

The attached patch checks the version after the configure.  It also attempts
to handle the APR_FIND_APR() path (untested).  On the APR-Util side, it
bases the apu-config path on the APR major version and tells APR_FIND_APU()
to find one that matches APR's major version (latter part untested).

I wouldn't be at all surprised if other folks are already using APR trunk
with httpd trunk daily and I've missed something basic, so comments
appreciated ;)

Agreed. I'm thinking we can store the dispatch tables on the server

Right, I hand-crafted this, so you have my +1

Anyhow, what about making some release apr-2 dependent
so we can use apr-2 API. Don't think it's very smart

Just so you are aware, list consensus has it that apr-util falls off
of trunk and becomes part of apr.  So I'd suggest this is a temporary
condition... fixing apr-util isn't really an interesting exercise ;-)

APR-trunk is not 2.0.0 yet, so that's a serious problem.  If other folks
are a handful of developers, it's not a problem, but it should push us to
make this transition.  If someone is shipping apr trunk, that's a big
mistake (theirs, not ours, we'll still ship the true apr 2.0 at some
point which will be grossly incompatible to such one-offs).

Part of this is the desire by Paul to move the project to scons.  I'm
prepared to merge the autoconf, but it's a bit more than an evening
project to combine apr and apr-util.  His hope was that scons is ready.



additional lbmethods in mod_proxy_balancer

2009-03-02 Thread Florian S.
Hi everyone!

I'm desperately trying to implement an additional loadbalancing
algorithm. Did anyone succeeded in declaring own methods?

The httpd-users-list did not give any reply, so I'll try it here once
again.

I'm not able to find the error since I adapted the major part from the
original. After patching and compiling my 2.2.11, the standard methods
still work fine, but mine does not seem to exist:

My error is:
ProxySet: unknown lbmethod lbmethod=byfoobar

I changed the mod_proxy_balancer.c three times, as required:

I added my function:
static proxy_worker *find_best_byfoobar(proxy_balancer *balancer,
request_rec *r)

I added the struct:
static const proxy_balancer_method byfoobar =
{
byfoobar,
find_best_byfoobar,
NULL
};

And I finally registered it by inserting:
ap_register_provider(p, PROXY_LBMETHOD, byfoobar, 0, byfoobar);
in the 
static void ap_proxy_balancer_register_hook(apr_pool_t *p)

Very strange, since I did everything exactly in the same way as it had
been done for the built-in methods.

No concerns here...  The precious few new APR-Util lines in the patch will

  ProxyPassReverse / balancer://lb/

Proxy balancer://lb
  # That works fine:

To check whether foobar is in the compiled module, I did:

I meant - an alpha candidate of 2.3 yet ;-)  My point being, due to
the API contracts in APR, we should not be encouraging alpha testers to

 Log:
 improve acceptance of APR/APR-Util trunk/2.0-dev


 On my other comment earlier...

 -1 on this patch appearing in any alpha candidate of 1.3 yet, for the
 reasons I mentioned before.  If it's sitting on trunk, that's fine, we'll
 just break things again as 2.0 nears release.


 I meant - an alpha candidate of 2.3 yet ;-)  My point being, due to
 the API contracts in APR, we should not be encouraging alpha testers to
 install 2.0.  1.3 is current and 1.4 branch exists for bleeding stuff.

I certainly agree for httpd 2.4.
It is worth stating in the alpha announcements which apr level(s) they are
intended to be used with.

I doubt many people will worry if the alphas have code that enforces that,
or fails haphazardly with other levels, or actually builds with other
levels, as long as it works with the documented level(s).

 ab: Fix maintenance of the pollset to resolve EINPROGRESS errors
 with kqueue (BSD/OS X) and excessive CPU with event ports (Solaris).


I tested with APR trunk on Linux and OpenSolaris, and APR 1.4.x on OS X.

Slightly more CPU is now consumed with the select() backend on Linux and
OpenSolaris (not surprising, since that backend didn't need the pollset to
be so carefully maintained).  There's probably similar degradation with
poll(), but it seemed a tossup in my casual checks of system and user space
CPU.

It looked to me that less CPU is now used with the epoll backend.

The former excessive CPU with event ports was so by a factor of 4 or 5,
almost all in user space.

Thanks to Mladen for drastically reducing the number of required builds for
testing different pollset backends!

I get a small percentage of length mismatches on OS X with keepalive mode,
but that happens for me with the 2.0.x branch on OS X as well.  I also see
an occasional timeout failure on OS X.

https was only lightly tested.

(I don't really like ab beyond the fact that it is always in reach, but it
was a nice pollset testcase.)
