Apache::ASP and "Undefined subroutine &#::handler called."
Hello, I am having some strange problems with my apache + mod_perl + mod_ssl + Apache::ASP. I compiled all 3 from the latest sources as explained in the mod_perl directory. After some light brain surgery, I had an httpd with mod_perl (EVERYTHING=1) and mod_ssl. But, funny things happened. 1. Firstly, although I compiled with STACKEDHANDLERS enabled, Apache::ASP + Apache::SSI (using Apache::Filter) did not honor

Sorry for this late reply, Doug. Here are some details.
This is from my authentication handler, which gets the location of a
file from a PerlSetVar directive, and then opens the file and reads
username and password into the variables to be used for database
connection:
---
my ($dsf, $db_f_name, $db_user_name, $db_user_pwd, $ds_name, $AuthenQueryValue);
# Get the db data source file.
$dsf = $r->dir_config( 'DSF' );
if (!defined $dsf || $dsf eq '') {
$r->log_error("DSF not defined.") if ($debug > 3);
return SERVER_ERROR;
}
# Get the db server login info.
if (defined $dsf) {
open(DBCONF, "$dsf") || $r->log_error("Can't open DSF file $dsf:$!");
while(){
next if /^#/;
next unless /^$ds_name:/;
chomp;
($ds_name, $db_f_name, $db_user_name, $db_user_pwd) = split(':', $_);
$r->log_error("In loop: ds_name=\"$ds_name\", db_f_name=\"$db_f_name\",
db_user_name=\"$db_user_name\
", db_user_pwd=\"$db_user_pwd\"\n") if ($debug > 3);
last;
}
close DBCONF;
} else {
$r->log_reason("DB source file not defined.") if ($debug > 3);
return SERVER_ERROR;
}
unless (defined $db_f_name && defined $db_user_name && defined $db_user_pwd) {
$r->log_reason("DB source file error: definition incomplete:
db_f_name=\"$db_f_name\"; db_user_name=\"$db
_user_name\"; db_user_pwd=\"$db_user_pwd\".") if ($debug > 3);
return SERVER_ERROR;
}
---
Now from time to time these variables become undefined, as shown in the error_log:
[Sat Feb 10 12:30:13 2001] [error] access to / failed for 129.xx.xx.xx, reason: DB
source file error: definition
incomplete: db_f_name=""; db_user_name=""; db_user_pwd="".
This happens with 1.25 as well.
Hardcoding the variables prevents this from happening.

Jie
apache::ASP
Hi, I have a cobalt raQ3 and I'd like to implement the apache::asp module. the raQ3 runs linux on a MIPS processor and I was wondering if any of you can confirm that it will work under MIPS. I assume so as it run as a mod_perl but I'd prefer to ask. please reply at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks JC
Accessing Global Configuration Directives
Is it possible to access a global configuration directive without using the request object? Thanks,
"Threading" on Win32
Hi. I'm running Apache 1.3.14, mod_perl 1.24_02 on Windows 2000 sp1, but I've seen this problem on other Win32 platforms. Basically, no matter how many "threads" are set up in httpd.conf, when a mod_perl URL is retreived, my apache will not service any other URLs until the mod_perl URL is finished. Apache on its own is OK, I can (say) download two 4MB files simultaneously, but as soon as any mod_perl process gets going, all new URLS "hang" until it completes. If a long download is going on and the mod_perl process starts, then the long download carries on AND the mod_perl one works, but any new URL doesn't get serviced, whether mod_perl or not. I'm running with the pre-built ActiveState perl (5.6.0; build 618), and the pre-built mod_perl at ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/ (made by Randy Kobes), but I've seen this with a perl and a mod_perl that I've compiled myself, running on NT4.0. Is this a known problem, and are there any workarounds? I'd be grateful for any info. Cheers, Alistair

May you and all who contributed to its resolution receive skillfully rendered the prurient favors you prefer most from the individual(s) of your choosing. Now, I have a slightly different point of confusion. The "make test" still fails, but leaves the spawned httpd running on the test port. The error log says: [notice] Destruction->DESTROY called for $global_object [Fri Feb 9 16:29:43 2001] [warn] [notice] child_init for process 23323, report any problems to [no address given] But if I hit the port with a browser I can pull the test.shtml page with all the SSI mod_perl calls working fine. I feel a lot better about doing the install now, but I still want to know what the problem is here. FYI, there was an suexec problem before, but I think that's just because this box doesn't have a user "nobody". I edited the test httpd.conf to run as our actual server id and it was happy, at least for that. It's just that I keep coming back to various suexec problems But since the current server runs and suexec's as it should, I'm not too worried about that. I just hate leaving *any* loose ends. _ On a seperate note, the main reason I was doing the recompile was to add in mod_auth_dbm. I finally got a test directory to do a simple request for authentication by ID/password, but now I can't get it to accept my password. I built the file with Apache's dbmmanage, importing a list of id/passwords from a script which used a perl crypt() to encrypt the passwords as it fed them to dbmmanage via pipe in the specified "id:encpwd" format. Everything seems to have gone smoothly enough, but it won't accept the password. What now? :o/ The .htaccess file is: === AuthDBMUserFile /dart10/web/docs/public/test/test AuthType Basic AuthName "password test site" Require valid-user === The DBM is in the directory I'm accessing, just as a test. *sigh* __ Do You Yahoo!?

Silly Question about CGI and mod_perl - The Revenge
Hello, Me again (sorry), i did as was suggested to get rid of the CGI.pm debug messages in the Apache Server. I changed NO_DEBUG to 1 and the (offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input) all went away. Thats the good news. The strange news is that now, however, it doesnt seem to recieve the post data. I am using CGI::param to get the input from the previously posted form, which is the typical . All .pl files are set to be executed by mod_perl (not the safest thing i know but its a development server more than production). There is nothing going on. I downgraded to CGI.pm 2.46 and with NO_DEBUG on, it works, it gets the data posted to the other cgi. With 2.752 in any state, no show. I would like to think I know how to program in perl and Apache, if not mod_perl, but i dont see why this should be happening. As usual, Apache 1.3.17, mod_perl 1.25, FreeBSD 4.2-Stable, CGI.pm 2.752 and PostgreSQL 7.0.3 with Perl 5.005 Anything you think i could be doing 'obviously' wrong ? Many thanks, Stefs

Re: Sessions on win 32
I must have missed it, exactly what problems are you having? It is better to give a description of the problem so we can try to debug. Generally speaking the modperl list is not a tutorial list but a 'self-help' list. General 'How do I get it to work' questions are usually left for the perl newsgroups. So, give us your specific errors and perhaps we can help a bit more. ( Sorry if I missed the specifics ).

Actually, I didn't. Does this mean that strcasecmp(3) on FreeBSD doesn't segfault when given NULL pointers? Or does this mean that the version of Apache at the time (1.3.6 and 1.3.9) didn't have this problem? The code in Apache hasn't changed since then, so I assume a difference between BSD and Linux libc.

Re: Sessions on win 32
Hello, thats whrere i have downloaded my apache+perl+mod_perl. You say that you have made it work. My question is how? And aslo my original question was about Apache::Session::File. I beleive that if somebody cannot help, should not just inform the user asking for help that they have got it to work on their machine. Nor they should tell the user to use perldoc Apache::Session. This is not help, its a joke. > I have used apache::session on windows with great success.
