RE: mod_perl2: nmake test crashes apache
Greetings.
[...]
do you have a simple test case to reproduce the problem?
No, I do not. I hope I will be able get/build/test the latest CVS this week,
and perhaps I'll be able to work on making the problem
reproducible/debuggable which may well mean
I'll have to build a debugperl.
Some facts of the threads allocation are making me curious though
(euphemistic to say I don't really understand them). I am running a test
with a counter:
[...]
foreach my $count (0..20) {
$r-puts(lib$count/b/li\n);
sleep(1);
}
[...]
which I alias to two handlers (say /count1/ and /count2/).
If I then call it from the same browser in three separate frames like this:
| Frame 1 | Frame 2 | Frame 3
| htpp://localhost/count1/ | htpp://localhost/count2/ |
htpp://localhost/count1/
The execution order turns out to be: 1+2 and *then* 3. It looks like a
thread is allocated to this (client,handler) pair, so Frame 1 and 3 are
running in the same thread, separate from the thread that's running 2.
Is this reading correct, and is this behavior amenable to configuration?
(And is this a modperl question or an Apache question?)
iib) I then set out to build a debug version. That ain't
easy I finally
this has been fixed in cvs, MP_DEBUG=1 should do the right things now.
Great - I'll try it soon.
Cheers,
alf

What causes memory leaks during graceful restarts?
All this talk about memory leakage has got me to wondering more about a problem I've noticed with mod_perl ever since I started using it: the more times you gracefully restart, the more memory you lose. This doesn't seem to be a result of the type of leakage that's being discussed in the other thread (which refers more to leakage and growth as the child runs normally) but is on such a large scale that I can only conclude that it's much more fundamental. For example, here's what an httpd process looks like having just restarted it from scratch: httpd 9063 0.0 6.6 19212 17020 ? S11:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL and here's what happens after one graceful restart: httpd 9092 0.0 9.2 25836 23644 ? S11:27 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL Where did those 6.5 Mb go? This is without making any requests from the server, so my mod_perl code isn't even being run, beyond initialization. (I use a PerlRequire to load a bunch of libraries at startup.) Are there any FAQs that address the reason for such large leakage? Or is this just an unavoidable problem with graceful restarts?

Re: What causes memory leaks during graceful restarts?
what version of perl? what modperl Makefile.PL options? if you're using modperl as a dso, you'll need at least perl 5.6.1 and modperl-1.26 to prevent this leakage on restarts.
Getting mod_perl to work under Win2k
Hello, I've spent several days working on this problem, reading various FAQ and whatnot and finally decided to try this email list, hoping that I might find an answer here. I'm running Win2KPro and Apache 1.3.23 I downloaded mod_perl2.ppd, and installed the *.so file in the default modules directory for my web server. I edited the httpd.conf file to include the following line: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so When I attempt to start httpd I get this message: Syntax Error on line 193 of c:/apache/apache/conf/httpd.conf Can not load c:/apache/apache/modules/mod_perl.so into server: (126) The specified module could not be found. Is there something I've missed? Thanks! Michael

It all depends on how many modules do you use and how big they are when compiled. I repeat many times in the guide, that all the examples are only examples. pretty much each setup is unique and there is no one-fit all setting. use Apache::GTopLimit; Apache::GTopLimit-set_max_size(1); Apache::GTopLimit-set_min_shared_size(4000); Apache::GTopLimit-set_max_unshared_size(6000); Use Apache::VMonitor and it'll give you a good idea what are the settings that you want. Since it shows you the shared and max sizes. $Apache::GTopLimit::CHECK_EVERY_N_REQUESTS = 2; This one is easy. If your processes are losing the shared memory slowly, raise this number, so less checks will be made. Otherwise keep it small. Again work with Apache::VMonitor and you will figure out the perfect setup. I would like to start with recommended defaults and tweak if necessary from there.

Yes, the basic functions work, but I do have a DBH inside the object.
That might be it. To test just do something like:
$session{foo} = bless( { hey = 'there' }, 'My::Class' );
save it, fetch it and see what happens when you do a 'ref
$session{foo}'.
You might want to either rethink having the database handle in the
object -- retrieving it from a common central location, for instance --
or create a simple function to copy the object without database handle
and set it into the session.

the #perl directive is disabled if modperl is built as dso, Makefile.PL prints a message about this. won't be an issue with 2.0 thanks to apr optional functions. but in 1.x, the modperl .so cannot resolve symbols from mod_include.so. at least, it can't on all platforms and can't if one were to disable LoadModule of mod_include.so

Image::Size, TT, and mod_perl Question
I posed this question to the Template Toolkit list and got no response,
so I figured I'd give this list a shot...
-
Hello, below is some code I have in a mod_perl handler that checks to
see if an uploaded image is less than 300 pixels tall or wide.
Everything seems to be working except the fact that the template is not
returning with the proper values processed. Below is the code and the
err_log output when I output an image that is too wide.
[snip]
my $upload = $r-upload;
my $type= $upload-type;
my $fh = $upload-fh;
my $username= $r-param('username');
my ($x, $y) = imgsize($fh);
print STDERR Dumper($x);
print STDERR Dumper($y);
unless ($x 300) {
print STDERR the greater than works\n;
# This checks to make sure the image isnt more than 300 x 300
my %vars = {TOO_WIDE = 1};
my $config = {
INCLUDE_PATH = '/moc/html/templates',
POST_CHOMP = 1,
EVAL_PERL = 1,
};
my $template = Template-new($config) || die New Template Failed:
$!\n;
#the process method prints the template out to the browser via
$r
$template-process('pic_upload.tt2', \%vars, $r) || do {
$r-log_reason($template-error());
return SERVER_ERROR;
};
return OK;
} # end of X/Y coordinate if
[snip]
The err_log output:
$VAR1 = 310;
$VAR1 = 72;
the greater than works
[end of err_log]
The problem is the template pic_upload.tt2 has this in it:
[% IF TOO_WIDE %]
font color=redYour File was too big. Make it under 30K/fontp [%
END %]
But that isn't showing up. I do the almost identical thing immediately
after this if clauses to check if the file's type is a jpeg. That
works, so I don't understand what I pasted in wrong, or forgot to paste
in.

I started my first programming job at an ad agency and even the site we did for FedEx went on a virtual server. I think the vast majority of people out there are also running virtual servers. Only recently did the company we host at offer mod_perl as an option. But then to offer an application for the public at large (not just to mod_perl developers) to download and install ... well, that's another beast. Always best to look at those with some expertise. Extropia for example. I downloaded their ProjectTracker and it was a cgi installation (and made extremely easy to install). I didn't look but I bet I could turn it into a handler. I took their experience and turned my image gallery application into a cgi application. Anyone who knows can turn the cgi handlers into mod_perl handlers otherwise it will work in standard cgi environment or under Apache::Registry. Even so, when helping people (and usually people for whom an ftp gui is tech) install cgi applications on virtual servers is rarely simple. Even today I cannot run most of the large scale mod_perl applications as I'm still using virtual servers and most of the mod_perl apps require a greater degree of control than I have. PHP on the other hand, it's everywhere. I have a link to a PHP image gallery on my site that is quite nice. I offer it as an alternative to my application . It can be installed from the web browser. I have installed Perl cgi applications where that was been done as well. I cannot imagine doing that for mod_perl applications though. In short, mod_perl applications using handlers has a very dedicated and passionate but limited audience imho. Peter -- http://www.readbrazil.com/ Answering Your Questions About Brazil

I can't use mod_auth because I can't set Require. well, if you're saying that you don't have the ability to set the Require directive at all (as in you don't have access to edit httpd.conf), then you can't run any authentication handler - mod_auth, mod_perl, or otherwise. Apache core requires the Require directive to be set to something before it will even try to run the authen/authz phases of the request. so, you may be out of luck and need to resort to the CGI tricks of yore where everything is clumped in the content-generation phase (and of which I'm not that familiar).

I'm not sure, but it may not exist for the reason I stated eariler about mod_perl not duplicating default Apache behavior. IIRC, there is one that authenticates against /etc/passwd, so maybe you can use that as an example of flat file based processing. in general, though, the steps are pretty much the same no matter which authentication method you choose. see http://www.modperlcookbook.org/code/ch13/Cookbook/Authenticate.pm for an example - all you need to do is replace the authenticate_user() subroutine with calls that validate the user based on your own criteria. Thanks. Sounds like we need an Apache::AuthBasicFile since mod_auth doesn't allow Require to be set dynamically. -Todd HTH --Geoff

Apache::AuthCookieDBI not sending cookies?
I've pawed though the archives, to no avail... I've almost, but not quite, have Apache::AuthCookieDBI working for me. The symptom I'm seeing (to my eye) is that my browser is never getting cookies sent back to it, even if I hand login.pl a valid user/password. (So I infer from the final error message; see below.) Details of my setup: Apache::AuthCookieDBI 1.18 $ httpd -v Server version: Apache/1.3.12 Cobalt (Unix) (please don't laugh) Server built: May 25 2001 17:23:24 In my httpd.conf: Files *.pl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI PerlSendHeader On /Files PerlSetVar CredTestDBI_DSN DBI:mysql:database=devel_db PerlSetVar CredTestDBI_User PerlSetVar CredTestDBI_Password xx PerlSetVar CredTestDBI_UsersTable cred_test_user PerlSetVar CredTestDBI_GroupsTable cred_test_group PerlSetVar CredTestDBI_SecretKeyFile /home/sites/siteNN/cred_auth.key PerlSetVar CredTestPath / PerlSetVar CredTestLoginScript /cgi-bin/login.pl PerlSetVar AuthCookieDebug 3 PerlModule Apache::AuthCookieDBI Location /credentials/private AuthType Apache::AuthCookieDBI AuthName CredTest PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthCookieDBI-authenticate PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthCookieDBI-authorize require valid-user /Location Files LOGIN AuthType Apache::AuthCookieDBI AuthName CredTest SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::AuthCookieDBI-login /Files When I make a request for /credentials/private/index.html, I indeed get the login page. My (slightly sanitized) web log shows: [Wed May 22 01:15:59 2002] [error] auth_type Apache::AuthCookieDBI [Wed May 22 01:15:59 2002] [error] auth_name CredTest [Wed May 22 01:15:59 2002] [error] ses_key_cookie [Wed May 22 01:15:59 2002] [error] uri /credentials/private/index.html I then fill in the fields, and hit 'submit': [Wed May 22 01:16:03 2002] [error] Converting POST - GET Now, my browser's connection hangs for a few minutes, ultimately yielding no data. If I get impatient, and terminate things browser-side; my web log then shows: [Wed May 22 01:16:26 2002] [error] credential_0 foo [Wed May 22 01:16:26 2002] [error] credential_1 bar [Wed May 22 01:16:26 2002] [error] access to /LOGIN failed for NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN, reason: Apache::AuthCookieDBI: didn't have the secret key for auth realm CredTest [Wed May 22 01:16:26 2002] [error] ses_key bad I get these same result with two different browsers, and using the example login.pl programs that come with Apache::AuthCookieDBI and Apache::AuthCookie.
