Re: Strange delays

Usual delays are between 0 and 1s, rarely up to 4s (complex database queries). Any Ideas where to look for the cause of this? I first thought the problem might be with the database connections. However these same delays also happen with pages, that don't need to connect at all... I used to have the same problem when I was using Apache::Session with semaphore locking, and using another sort of locking fixed that. Are you using semaphores ? -- robin b.

Re: Simple program _setting_ REMOTE_ADDR
Ack! That was pretty stupid of me. It doesn't explain why SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/VENDOR" REMOTE_ADDR=1.2.3.4 didn't work, but I can take that to the Apache folks. It's because mod_cgi sets the environment variable just before it runs the program (and thus overriding whatever you set before). A fixup handler to set the fake ip address (as you figured out) and possibly a loghandler to set remote_ip to the right address again is the way to go. Thanks. Between the help I got on the list, and a quick reading of some of the Apache source (esp. mod_cgi), I had a working solution up and running 90 minutes (!) after first deciding to attack the problem from that angle. ...Steve -- Steve van der Burg Information Services London Health Sciences Centre (519) 685-8300 ext 35559 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: User pressed stop?
Every so often I get: Broken pipe: client stopped connection before rflush completed In my error log. Is that the "user pressed stop" condition? AxKit just sends raw files (unless in no_cache mode), i.e. it sets $r-filename() and then returns DECLINED. Do I need to handle this, or can I just ignore it? ap_rflush is called to write data to the client, but the write fails. It's a normal "user pressed stop" condition, ap_rflush issues the info message and sets c-aborted so that subsequent writes will not reach the network. You can ignore the message, it is printed because you have LogLevel = info. -- Eric
DIR_MERGE and .htaccess
Shouldn't DIR_MERGE be called when .htaccess files are found at different levels, e.g: /axkit/.htaccess and /axkit/test/.htaccess I ask for /axkit/test/test.xsp I would have expected it to ask for both .htaccess files and try and merge the two using DIR_MERGE, but it doesn't. Am I missing something, or is this expected functionality? -- Matt/ Fastnet Software Ltd.

Getting DB2U support
Folks, I have installed mod_perl and I would like to access a DB2 server. What perl modules do I need to install? Are there any tutorials out there to give me the basics of access DB2 from perl? Sam

I did look and its not so obvious what to comment out without mucking the
file ... Does anyone else have this one installed and had the same problem
I had. I'm using the win32 version by Randy Kobes.
Line 135 looks like
if (defined @ChildConnect) {
Try changing it to
if (@ChildConnect) {
and see if that helps.

Also you could use CPAN to do the installation likely, checkout "perldoc CPAN" Also, for access under mod_perl, check out connection caching with Apache::DBI -- Joshua _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

Re: DIR_MERGE and .htaccess
On Jul 04, 2000 at 14:40:26 +0100, Matt Sergeant twiddled the keys to say: Shouldn't DIR_MERGE be called when .htaccess files are found at different levels, e.g: /axkit/.htaccess and /axkit/test/.htaccess I ask for /axkit/test/test.xsp I would have expected it to ask for both .htaccess files and try and merge the two using DIR_MERGE, but it doesn't. Am I missing something, or is this expected functionality? I can't answer that question, but a while back I noticed that sometimes PerlSetVar's weren't being seen by $r-dir_config as I'd expected. Namely, within the "global" section of a VirtualHost. I wrote a little module as an example, but never got around to voicing anything about it. From what I saw then, DIR_MERGE nor SERVER_MERGE ever got called at all. Maybe we're missing the same thing? Rick Myers[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Feynman Problem 1) Write down the problem.
