exit with alarm
I've written a rather large mod_perl app that initiates a bunch of
socket connects using a subclassed IO::Socket::INET. Every now and then
I'm getting this:
child pid 22743 exit signal Alarm clock (14)
It happens infrequently and I can't find a pattern of any kind. The
request that seems to cause it gets served up without any problems. I
supect something I'm using is setting $SIG{ALRM}, but I thought this was
fixed a while ago so that mod_perl saves SIGALRM for restoring at the
end of a request? (I'm running mod_perl 1.26)
thanks
Mark.

Wilfred Chan said: Hi, I have limited knowledge with http servers. I was told that apache was the best a few years back and I tried apache with my Win98 OS at that time. I pretty much just edited the configurations so that the webpage will load and left everything in default. I am fairly new at this and I just wanted to ask what you guys think the differences are between running apache on Windows VS on linux. I am not good with linux. Thanks! Based on my own experience, if you have worked with Unix machines sometime in your past -- it could be in your distant past --, choose Apache on Linux or any flavor of Unix over Windows. Unix is far easier to comprehend than Windows, the documentation is better, and the help more readily given and abundant. Oh yeah, and more stable. The key is that you need to read the documentation, starting with the INSTALL and README files that come with most Open Source software. Also, investing in a few, good reference manuals is a big help. O'Reilly (http://www.oreilly.com/) publishes a lot of good manuals. Coming from the Windows world, you will be amazed at the quality of the documentation that exists in Open Source. I know I was, and I had used and supported Windows machines for almost a decade before returning to Unix for mission-critical stuff. One final piece of advice and why the [OT] is in my reply -- this list discusses mod_perl, which is a module that can be used in Apache. The folks here are -- present writer excepted -- very knowledgeable, very helpful, and very polite. However, your question would be best addressed to a pure Apache mailing list. A description can be found here: http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html or you can subscribe by mailing an empty message to the address below: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take care, Kurt Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Having just migrated my mod-perl software from Win2K to Linux I heartily agree with Kurt. With only very limited Unix knowledge, I have managed to setup my server, secure it, and install and configure all the systems I needed. I have found the Linux brigade to be very knowledgeable, very helpful and very willing to SHARE (thank you #Linux). The quality and volume of documentation will surprise you too. Why did I migrate? My Windows server (running Microsofts' latest and greatest) rarely stayed up for longer than 48 consecutive hours. My Linux box has not been down since I installed (about 2 weeks ago). Benchmarks also demonstrate a performance gain in my mod_perl apps of around 20% over the same apps, in the same setup, under Windows. I expect to increase this with a little tweaking in the future. All the best. Jonathan M. Hollin - WYPUG Co-ordinator West Yorkshire Perl User Group http://wypug.pm.org/
Apache::Session problem with DBD::Oracle

Failed 10/10 tests, 0.00% okay
Oracle is fairly picky about the connection info. Here's an example
of one I use:
use constant FooDataSource = 'dbi:Oracle:';
use constant FooDBUser =
q{user/password@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))};
use constant FooDBPassword = '';
use constant FooDBOptions = {
RaiseError = 1,
FetchHashKeyName = 'NAME_lc',
LongReadLen = 3000,
LongTruncOk = 1,
};
my $db = DBI-connect(FooDataSource, FooDBUser, FooDBPassword, FooDBOptions);
I'm also fairly sure that some environment variables should be set.
If I grep my env for ORA, I see:
ORACLE_SID=name changed to protect the innocent
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle1/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle1/app/oracle/product/8.0.5
ORACLE_TERM=xsun5
Obviously, the $ENV{'ORACLE_SID'} matches the SID in the FooDBUser
string. The above string is used from a host other than the machine
that houses Oracle, so it may have more in it than you need if you're
on the same machine.

Re: Apache::Session problem with DBD::Oracle
The tests were writing to an NFS mounted directory, and I think NFS was creating some lock files which prevented the directory from being written to. I moved the install to a non NFS mounted area, and it all worked. brian On Mon, Mar 11, 2002 at 12:00:47PM -0800, Brian Lavender wrote: Yup, that fixed it.
