Re: Dynamic content that is static
Apache::ASP has a cgi/asp script in the distribution that I use to generate apache-asp.org and chamas.com. Its a bit rough but works for static HTML generation from ASP scripts. Also you can consider using a combination of mod_proxy and specific headers like Expires to cache your content for X time like 1 hour. I have never done the latter, and you should use lwp-request -ed do see what headers your site is really sending, as ASP sends a no-cache pragma by default which you'll need to override, I forget which header at this time. The proxy method should work generally in this case, though I like generating content that can be offline. --Josh --- Philip Mak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, I have been going over the modperl tuning guide and the suggestions that people on this list sent me earlier. I've reduced MaxClients to 33 (each httpd process takes up 3-4% of my memory, so that's how much I can fit without swapping) so if the web server overloads again, at least it won't take the machine down with it. Running a non-modperl apache that proxies to a modperl apache doesn't seem like it would help much because the vast majority of pages served require modperl. I realized something, though: Although the pages on my site are dynamically generated, they are really static. Their content doesn't change unless I change the files on the website. (For example, http://www.animewallpapers.com/wallpapers/ccs.htm depends on header.asp, footer.asp, series.dat and index.inc. If none of those files change, the content of ccs.htm remains the same.) So, it would probably be more efficient if I had a /src directory and a /html directory. The /src directory could contain my modperl files and a Makefile that knows the dependencies; when I type "make", it will evaluate the modperl files and parse them into plain HTML files in the /html directory. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to implement this? Is there an existing tool for doing this? How can I evaluate modperl/Apache::ASP files from the command line?

development question
apache 1.3.14.
havemultiple developers hacking html, mod_perl w/ own sandboxes.
need them to start up their own servers on various ports (e.g.,
8081, 8082...). we are using CVS and need to share access to a
valid httpd.conf file.
hmmm... we all use the same httpd.conf and we all step on one
another w/ ports and dir's. not good.
no way i know of use specify htdocs as a relative path or use
$HOME or $SANDBOX to set it.
virtual hosts don't work well since everyone collides on the
main server's PORT setting and none of has have SU access to
suck up port 80 (which still wouldn't help if we collide on 80).
trying to avoid people using -d for now -- still doesn't help
since DocumentRoot wants an absolute path.
include doesn't work since we are sharing the same CVS tree and
would end up with the same includes -- unless there is something
like
Include "$ENV{LOGNAME}-conf"
to allow per-user portions of the config.
never learned how to configure apache w/ the perl format,
which might solve the entire thing via $ENV{HOME}. might not...
so...
anyone have an example httpd.conf (stock or perly) that would
allow multiple people on the same machine to check out the same
httpd.conf, start up httpd w/ -f ./httpd.conf and not collide
on the ports, dir's?
the only thing i can come up with so far is rather messy,
using, with
IfDefine blah
Include blah-config
/IfDefine
we can edit the common httpd.conf file for each of ourselves.
seems like performing the replacement in-place (e.g., via
$LOGNAME) would be a cleaner way.
thanx

Re: Modifying the reported size in a directory index
On Tue, 22 Aug 2000, Jens-Uwe Mager wrote:
I am looking for a way to update the reported size of a file in a plain
directory index generated by Apache. I have installed a perl fixup
handler that does check if a Macintosh resource fork is available
additionally to the plain data fork and it replaces the default content
handler with a custom one that combines both the data and resource fork
on the fly in the MacBinary archive format. This all runs fine and well.
The problem I have now that I need to modify the displayed size in the
directory index. For example if the file in question is a Mac resource
file with no data area the directory index displays 0k as the plain data
file really has a zero length. I would believe that I need to delve into
the C innards of the request record and add the size of the resource
fork to the st_size field of the stat record to fix this, or does
anybody have any better idea how to do this in plain perl?
i probably shouldn't be 'working' on xmas, but have some time to kill
before the airport and have had this in mind since you first posted (4
months ago!). with the patch below and this package:
http://perl.apache.org/~dougm/Sys-Stat-0.01.tar.gz
a fixup handler can modify the reported size like so:
sub MyFixup::handler {
my $r = shift;
my $stat = Sys::Stat-stat($r-filename);
$stat-size(10_000); #whatever size
$r-finfo($stat); #changed size will be reflected in dirindex output
0;
}

First, read up on perl.../perl sections (Ch. 8 - appr. pg. 416 - in the
eagle book).
If everyone's uid is between 1024 and 65536 exclusive (or whatever the valid
range is for ports), you could do something like this:
perl
$DocumentRoot = $ENV{'HOME'} . "/htdocs";
$Port = $UID;
/perl
If the uid is not conducive to this, at worst, you could do the following:
perl
%ports = (
# uid = port
1001 = 8000,
1002 = 8001,
1020 = 8002,
);
$Port = $ports{$UID};
/perl
and hope only people with defined ports try to start the server.
Similar things can be done with the rest of the configuration, and everyone
can share the same configuration file.
