Re: [OT] Replacing reverse squid with mod_proxy
On Mon, 25 Mar 2002, Hans Juergen von Lengerke wrote: We are currently using squid set up as a reverse proxy to accelerate several heavy backends (mod_perl, etc) and to protect them from slow client connections. I am looking into replacing the squid with apache+mod_proxy. Why? Because ultimately I'd like to be able to cluster the frontend using mod_backhand + wackamole. The primary reason for clustering isn't for load-balancing (yet) but for failover handling. So, ideally, one machine should be enough to serve the whole server load. Speaking of load, the squid (2.3.STABLE1) is currently doing up to 80 requests per second at a cache hit ratio of around 72%. This is on one box, a Dual 500MHz Pentium III with 1GB RAM. Average object size is 6KB. 200/304 ratio is around 5/3. Now, I've tried to replace the squid with apache+mod_proxy (1.3.11) and the frontend very quickly came to a standstill. I set MaxClients to 256 but all slots filled up fast. I upped MaxClients to 512 (recompiled with patched httpd.h) but the result was the same. All slots were occupied in no time and the server ground to a halt. Now I'm left with two choices: give up or try harder :-) Before I decide for one of them I thought I'd ask on the lists (sorry for the x-post) to see if the above numbers (80 Hits/Second) are in fact feasible with apache/mod_proxy on one box. Are there any benchmarks around? Does someone have a similar setup and how many requests can they serve? Should I up MaxClients any further? Will I get better results using a newer version of apache? Or should I give up and stick with squid? Apache can easy handle 80r/s on Ethernet or localhost connection. But if connections are slow (i.e. modem users) and responses are big enough then you can reach MaxClients. As far as I know 80r/s rate requires about 400-600 Apache with 20-40K responses. If your responses are bigger then more Apaches you need. You can increase MaxClients until your swap is free. On 1G you can run about 1000-2000 plain Apaches. But if you plan to use mod_proxy to proxy backend I think you should use mod_accel. Igor Sysoev
[PATCH] Class::DBI (auto_increment in Apache::DBI)
I use Class::DBI + DBD::mysql in mod_perl Apache::DBI enabled
environment. I've found
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID
would *sometimes* cause vizarre result in persistent connection. It
happens very rarely, but the phenomenon is gone away we stop-start the
httpd.
Here's a patch for Class::DBI that fix this problem (*1) (for
0.36). In evey installation of Class::DBI I've applied this patch, and
the problem above never happens with it.
It should be clever that Class/DBI.pm can be free from this
mysql-dependent hardcode into each subclasses (Strategy Pattern, or
DBIx::AnyDBD?).
*1) error message is as follows:
Can't call method call_hook on an undefined value at /usr/local/lib/
perl5/site_perl/5.005/Class/DBI.pm line 101.

Problems after an upgrade...
I had mod_perl installed and working in apache well until a few days ago. I think that after an upgrade to apache the problems began. This is on the RedHat 7.2 OS. The problem is that when I start the apache's daemon it gives me the [ok] check mark, but when I check the status it writes me the following error: httpd dead but subsys locked And if I run the httpd from the command line it writes: Invalid command 'PerlRequire', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. The module (mod_perl) is installed. And was working... I had tried a lot of things to fix the problem but without success. Any suggestions please let me know! Thanks in advance: -- Jose R. Ortiz Ubarri Cs. Student Programmer
RE: Problems after an upgrade...
I had mod_perl installed and working in apache well until a few days ago. I think that after an upgrade to apache the problems began. This is on the RedHat 7.2 OS. Yep - I had the same problem. What I discovered was that the RH update had installed a new instance of Apache and started it! At the prompt, stop httpd with: apachectl stop Then restart your original Apache with: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start (path may be different on your system, although I doubt it with RH 7.2) Hope this helps...

RE: Apache::Session
Thanks for responding . . . Not sure what else you need. Destroying session objects? Do you mean to untie the session $obj? This is done at the end of each request via untie ( untie(%$obj) ).

How to get two perl namespaces in apache
Hi there- Apologies if this gets sent twice - I sent a message yesterday, but it seems to have vanished into the ether. I'd like to run the production server of my mod_perl project (http://www.areaj.org/areaj) on the same machine as my development server. Clearly they have the same module names so I have to somehow run them in two different environments - I don't think running them on two different virtual servers is going to do it, right? Doesn't apache just start one perl runtime? Please tell me if I'm mistaken about that. So, I guess I'm wondering if there's an easy way to have two completely separate apache configurations running on the same machine (listening on different ports obviously). Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, //Thomas Thomas K. Burkholder

Re: How to get two perl namespaces in apache
Thomas, You can run seperate environments if your coding doesn't reference any hard coded paths. I just setup a dev server at my new job and do exactly what you want. All you have to do is add a use lib qw(/path/to/modules); in your startup.pl or make sure the PERL5LIB environment var is set. This can be done w/ PerlSetVar /your/path/here or setting it for the user apache is running as. HTH. Drew At 11:16 AM 3/26/02 -0800, Thomas K.

DESCRIPTION
Apache::Session::PHP is an adapter of Apache::Session for PHP::Session.
It uses following combination of straregies:
Generate: MD5
PHP4 session also uses 32bit session-id, generated by MD5 of random
string. So MD5 (default) generation would fit.
Serialize: PHP
uses PHP::Session::Serializer::PHP.
Lock: Null
PHP4 uses exclusive flock for session locking. In Apache::Session,
we use Null for locking and Store module executes flock on opening
the session file.
Store: PHP
similarto File store, but file naming scheme is slightly different.
NOTE
PHP does NOT have distinction between hash and array. Thus PHP::Session
restores PHP *array* as Perl *hash*.
Perl = PHP = Perl
arrayarrayhash
Thus if you store array in sessions, what'll come back is hash.

Getting configuration into a filter
Hi,
I'm writing a filter using modperl-2.0, and trying to figure out how to
get per-directory configuration information passed into it. I've tried
both PerlSetVar and PerlSetEnv, but nothing seems to be getting
through. Below is a section of the httpd.conf and the code.
The attempt to reference dir_config gives:
Can't locate object method dir_config via package Apache::Filter
(perhaps you forgot to load Apache::Filter?) at {path}/RewriteLinks.pm
line 117.
The environment variable has no value.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Location /filtered
PerlOutputFilterHandler RewriteLinks
PerlOptions +SetupEnv
PerlSetVar CurrentDirectory /foobie
PerlSetEnv SomeVar SomeValue
/Location
sub handler {
my $filter = shift;
#$filter-print(!-- current directory: .
$filter-dir_config-get(CurrentDirectory) . --\
\n);
$filter-print(!-- SomeVar is . $ENV{'SomeVar'} . --\n);
}
Re: Apache::DBI or What ?
There are databases that allow you to change the current user without reconnecting. In fact someone posted a module to do this a while back, but I can't remember which database it was for. Seems like it was Sybase or Informix. Jeff Horn posted this a couple years ago either here or @ dbi-users # Hacked Up Version of Apache::DBI # # Hacking by: Jeff Horn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) # # Purpose: This version of Apache::DBI maintains a SINGLE persistent # connection to each database. When the user changes on # subsequent connect calls, the DBI-func( ., ., 'reauthtenticate') # is called to quickly authenticate the new user on the existing # connection. I've used it for a few projects, I haven't really follow how changes over the last year to Edmund Mergl's Apache::DBI or Tim Bunce's DBI may have affected it. I recall one problem being when using different attributes to connect methods. Have fun. John [EMAIL PROTECTED]

}
dir_config is an Apache::RequestRec method, you need to do:
$filter-r-dir_config-get(CurrentDirectory);
you may need to require Apache::RequestUtil if it wasn't loaded yet.
As of this moment the tests in t/ are your best source for figuring out
how to do things with new features.

Re: Apache::DBI or What ?
Hi, If you have any idea where to find this code I would be thankful. I can only find this.. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl-DBI/298774 Thanks, Eric At 04:47 PM 3/26/02 -0500, John D Groenveld wrote: There are databases that allow you to change the current user without reconnecting.
