Different lib directories for different virtual servers q
Hallo, I need different lib directories for different virtual servers. I tried to put in my httpd.conf VirtualHost server1 ... PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB.../server1/lib /VirtualHost VirtualHost server2 ... PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB.../server2/lib /VirtualHost but it obviously doesn't work, only .../server2/lib is added to the PERL5LIB. What is the correct/recommended way to do it? Thanks for your help. - Robert P.S. I guess I could put PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB.../server1/lib:.../server2/lib in front of all the virtual servers, but I'm just curious what's the right way - I read the eagle book and the miniguide, but I didn't find this mentioned. I was told PerlSetEnv is the way to go to set up env for virtual servers and I was under impression the env variables become local for each virtual server. Could you comment?

mod_perl vs fastcgi
Hi! Instaled : FreeBSD 4.0 + Apache 1.3.12 + mod_perl 1.24 + FastCGI 0.52 1) I installed apache with mod_perl - the speed increased.But I didn't understand HOW mod_perl optimizes use of resources and increases speed ? Does it share perl interpreter, script or anything else? 2) Then I installed FastCGI - but I didn't see the differance. Speed and memory usage remained the same. I test with mysql database (16000 records, 5 fields of different types) - SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE one $a and one $b; Next, I open, read and parse 5Mb text file. With LWP::Parallel::UserAgent perl module I send 10 parallel requests. Do mod_perl and FastCGI installed in the same Apache server interact and how do they interact if they do at all? Was Lighte!

The patch I posted yesterday has a problem

This new patch should be ok.
Your patch uses memmem(), which isn't available on some OSes (eg Solaris).
Also, the linux manpage warns against using memmem() because it was broken
in some earlier versions of libc.
I've rolled my own version, and it seems to work okay (famous last words).
Here's a patch for your patch. (I'm not promising this is the greatest
re-implementation of memmem() the world has ever seen.)

Wrong forum really, I think you need the apache specific forum. But. Sounds like you need to ensure your localhost network is set up correctly first (i.e., get to the point where you can ping localhost) Then you need to ensure apache is configured so you can access html pages on your local machine. This may require some browser configuration too) Then you need to configure apache to allow execution of cgi scripts. If you already have achieved some of these then you need to be more specific about what isn't happening and what error messages you are getting. Jon.

Subject: RE: can't properly append to file from mod_perl script
Hi,
I sent an earlier post with a script that was appending
garbage along with
user email addresses that were submitted through a form.
After seeing all
the suggestions about improvement, I went ahead and rewrote
the script from
scratch (it's much shorter now!). My version actually
prevents garbage from
being placed into the output file, but it still has a
problem. If I open up
two browsers on separate machines, go to the page containing
the form, and
simultaneously submit addresses from both machines, after maybe 8 or 9
entries the output becomes incorrect. For example, if I enter
the following
e-mail addresses one at a time from the form:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then I view the output file and see this output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
It's as though the parameters I'm pulling from the form get
stuck somewhere,
but I can't figure out where. I tried autoflushing buffers
for both STDOUT
and the output channel I use to write the output (called
RESULTS in the
script), but that doesn't help. Some of you guys had
mentioned writing some
cleanup code after I close my file, but I don't quite
understand what I need
to clean up (sorry, I'm kind of new at this). Any ideas? (the
code is below)

ANNOUNCE: Apache::ASP v1.93
Hey, I've released the latest Apache::ASP after after months of hard work on some new exciting features. The change log below is HUGE, but worth a good read if you are up for it. The big features on table are custom tags handled by perl subroutines, very powerful, and full dynamic XML::XSLT integration. You can read about each of these features at http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/xml.html and see them in action at http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/eg/xml_subs.asp http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/eg/xslt.xml Also the session manager is much more robust, and StateDir will now work over NFS for web clusters even without NFS network locking. There is a quick start bundle too! Just use CPAN to install Bundle::Apache::ASP, and if you want to use the XML/XSLT feature, install Bundle::XML, which should include XML::XSLT ASP 3.0 $Server-Transfer() has been implemented, which is the $r-internal_redirect for ASP, preserving the current objects for the new scripts transferred to. You must $Response-Clear() first in order to get full $Response-Redirect functionality. Enjoy! -- Joshua === ABOUT Apache::ASP http://nodeworks.com/asp This perl module provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with perl as the host scripting language. Active Server Pages is a web application platform that originated with the Microsoft NT/IIS server. Under Apache for Unix and Win32 platforms it allows a developer to create dynamic web applications with session management and embedded perl code. Apache::ASP's features include: * Natural and Powerful Scripting SYNTAX * Rich OBJECTS Developer API * Web Application EVENTS Model * Modular SSI Decomposition, Code Sharing * User SESSIONS, NFS Web Cluster Friendly * XML/XSLT Rendering Custom Tag Technology * CGI Compatibility * PERLSCRIPT Compatibility * Great Open Source SUPPORT =item $VERSION = 1.93; $DATE="07/03/00"; + = improvement; - = bug fix - sub second timing with Time::HiRes was adding !-- -- comments by HTML by default, which would possibly break specific programs looking for precise HTML output. Now this behavior must be explicitly turned on with the TimeHiRes config setting. These comments will only appear in HTML only if Debug is enabled as well. Timed log entries will only occur is Debug if system debugging is enabled, with Debug -1 or -2 =item $VERSION = 1.91; $DATE="07/02/00"; +Documented XMLSubsMatch XSLT* configuration settings in CONFIG section. +XSLT XSL template is now first executed as an ASP script just like the XML scripts. This is just one step away now from implementing XSP logic. +$Server-Execute and $Server-Transfer API extensions implemented. Execute is the same as $Request-Include() and $Server-Transfer is like an apache internal redirect but keeps the current ASP objects for the next script. Added examples, transfer.htm, and modified dynamic_includes.htm. +Better compile time error debugging with Debug 2 or -2. Will hilite/link the buggy line for global.asa errors, include errors, and XML/XSLT errors just like with ASP scripts before. +Nice source hiliting when viewing source for the example scripts. +Runtime string writing optimization for static HTML going through $Response. +New version numbering just like everyone else.

I've been searching the Net for a few days now to find opinions, but espec. in comparison to the apache/mod_perl combo, I couldn't find that much. Some intro: I work for a content syndication company; basically, we receive tons of different newsfeeds, we classify the content, both manually as well as automatically (based on fulltext and metadata queries), we add some extra content if it's not in the incoming data (for instance, we create a smaller version of a news story so it reads better on a WAP device), then we have quite a bit of distribution options: we do HTML, plain text, XML, using transports such as FTP, e-mail, HTTP Post, as well as host the news which customers can include dynamically in their website. The parts that involve website development are currently done exclusively using apache and mod_perl, this makes up about 35% of our overall system. Now, it seems that Allaire's product, Spectra, does offer us a solution to (parts of) our problems. I'm not sure yet exactly what problem it solves, we still have to establish that, but let's assume it does. Spectra is a product built using Allaire's ColdFusion. That means that if we have to add functionality to Spectra, we'll be using coldfusion to develop that. To assess coldfusion, I installed the eval version on one of our Linux boxes to explore it. Here are some of my observations: 1- "Code inside HTML" coldfusion's like PHP or ASP in that you embed most of your code inside HTML pages. I don't like it; I prefer to use some templating system that allows our HTML wizards to edit HTML, and our perl wizards to code perl. But let's not start that discussion: we've seen it before ;) 2- Feature comparison If I compary the features available in the coldfusion appserver with the available options for mod_perl, I don't see a lot of extra's: - session management We do that using our own Web::Session implementation (very much like Apache::Session). It can do that either using cookies or stick the session id in the URL. coldfusion seems to require cookies. - database connection pooling We use Apache::DBI; - Scheduled tasks We use cron; - Sending mail from within the appserver Tons of CPAN modules can do this. Great MIME stuff there too; - Retrieve web page and stick into local file This is a built-in feature of the appserver. lwp-mirror can do this just fine. - coldfusion can use COM (or is that ActiveX?) Apparently, there are a lot of those thingies to stick into coldfusion and use that from within your code. We run HP-UX; those won't work for us. - coldfusion can be clustered (apparently automagically) So far I haven't had the need to do this; our HP box with 4 processors never gets a load above 0.2. I assume with Apache running on a few boxes, some load-balancing hardware in front of those, and some URL rewriting and/or smarter session management, clustering could be accomplished as well. I doubt we need this though. If we do high volume content serving, I'll convert the dynamic content to static html or xml, ftp them over to a box running a non-mod_perl Apache and serve 'm from there. I never measured this too well, I think it did something like 400 reqs/second on Intel hardware running Linux. 3- Complexity of layers (or would those be called 'tiers'?) With mod_perl, I have to make sure Apache runs (Ok; I need to get the stuff compiled too. I can do that. By now ;)), so far, I haven't seen Apache go down ever. With coldfusion, aside from Apache, I have to make sure a bunchful of different coldfusion apps are running. How stable are those apps? Also, I don't know how coldfusion talks to Oracle. DBI/DBD::Oracle works good enough. 4- Developer community Concluding from the amount of hits I got searching dejanews etc., the coldfusion developer community is hiding out somewhere else. On Allaire's site, success stories sound great; mod_perl's success stories on perl.apache.org do too, but they don't contain a lot of buzzwords (;) ). I'd love to hear some opinions on this. I'm not looking for "stick to what you know"-kinda replies; I know that already. It's just that *if* Spectra does provide needed functionality, it will be faster to buy it than it is to develop the same functionality using apache/mod_perl. Yet, I do want to know what I'll be getting into when I need to work with coldfusion on a daily basis vs. working with apache/mod_perl on a daily basis. Regards, bas.
RE: Coldfusion vs. apache/mod_perl
I just left a company that used either mod_perl or coldfusion for our intranet development. I never did any coldfusion development but I did have to deal with maintaing the coldfusion server and apps. coldfusion crashed several times in the three or four months I was involved with it. We never could determine what the problem was. coldfusion (like Apache/mod_perl) eats memory. Our coldfusion processes usually used a total of 200MB of memory. coldfusion does not play well on unix (at least solaris). Allaire's site recommended changing some kernel parameters to get the best performance out of cold fusion. That was something we weren't willing to do on a box that had much more than CF running on it. To my knowledge, CF does not give you the power to mess with the web servers API like mod_perl does. You may or may not need this ability. IMHO, mod_perl applications easily out-performed our CF apps. One plus for coldfusion, there seems to be more CF developers out there (at least in Austin, TX) but that may be a sign that very few people are using CF.

You might worry about this for concurrent writes to $Application, or a framed application writing to $Session, so these are still issues to worry about. Its the session manager that was the big deal. Before, there was the possibility of 2 session managers running at the same time, and a $Session would be killed twice, and have its Session_OnEnd executed twice, and possibly trip up some other odd NFS file I/O errors, like deleting files that have already been deleted. Now, there is a bit of a write/read concurrency checking, where a process on a server will attempt to promote itself to the cluster session manager, by writing to the internal database, and if that sticks a second later, it is promoted, so we only have one process on one server in a web cluster that is acting as the session manager at any time. Note that this is not a bottleneck generally because these promotion attempts happen infrequently based on SessionTimeout and some rand()mness. This will only work if the NFS attributes on the client mount are set to no caching. It seems to work great in 2 known web clusters. -- Joshua _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

Hey Paul,
I think you will have a problem with cold fusion templating
logic like if/else constructs. For these, I would recommend
having something like a ColdFusionCompat config setting, and we
could rip out some of these are parse time and convert them into the
ASP style constructs.
One idea is to have a separate class of tags that are used in the
parse stage.:
CodeTags (cfif|cfelse|cfend)
sub cfend {
return('}');
}
sub cfelse {
return('} else {');
}
sub cfif {
. # heavy lifting here..
return('if (..) {');
}
I am planning to use this approach for support of XSP logic
for XML/XSLT integration, and can't see how to use the custom
tags for full logic implementations of other environments,
particularly the if/else contructs. Might there be some
way to extend the XMLSubsMatch technology to coordinate
between multiple tags?
I think what we need to is something like a Script_OnParse
that one could use to grab the script data and parse it
before the ASP to perl compiler gets to it. This would
allow for some experimentation out of the code base before
merging in something big like XSP or ColdFusion support.
That would definitely do the trick too. Though instead I'd use
various regular expressions to convert tags into ASP syntax..

Apache::ASP and clock times
We are having a problem with our Apache::ASP scripts and the clock time they are reporting. It seems that when an ASP script is run, the internal clock is sometimes set to GMT. An example from our error log is shown below. The problem is that our scripts expect localtime (PDT). The other odd (and particularly frustrating) thing is that this problem is *not* consistent. Sometimes we get GMT while other times we get localtime (PDT). Its very odd. We have narrowed the problem down to mod_perl and/or Apache::ASP. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Is there a configuration problem? The problem seems to start with the ScriptOnStart (not before that...) -- and lasts until the end of the ASP processing.

Re: Apache::ASP and clock times

Re: Apache::ASP and clock times
In a situation like this, I would make sure that you compiled your Apache/modperl from scratch, and maybe do it again just to make sure. Maybe you are using some stock RedHat build, that has odd quirks to it, and your own static build would just make this disappear. Its a terrible was to deal with this kind of problem buts its so utterly bizarre. Maybe someone else has a better idea for you?

Re: Coldfusion vs. apache/mod_perl
Paul Lindner wrote:
Hey Paul,
I think you will have a problem with cold fusion templating
logic like if/else constructs. For these, I would recommend
having something like a ColdFusionCompat config setting, and we
could rip out some of these are parse time and convert them into the
ASP style constructs.
One idea is to have a separate class of tags that are used in the
parse stage.:
CodeTags (cfif|cfelse|cfend)
sub cfend {
return('}');
}
sub cfelse {
return('} else {');
}
It would be nice to have this extension, I can see why,
so instead of executing the XMLSubs at runtime, they
would be executed at compile time, which would prevent
them from being defined in the script itself being
compiled. Have to be in global.asa or some perllib.
Note that in global.asa, there could be the likes of
*cfend = *CF::Tags::end;
*cfelse = *CF::Tags::else;
So, how would a XMLParseSubsMatch config be for this
behavior?

RE: error DBI with quote
this more properly belongs on the DBI list, but see
page 122 of the cheetah book:
"Bind values are passed to the database seperately from
the SQL statement, so there's no need to 'wrap up' the value in SQL quoting
rules."
thus, no need to call quote()...
