Apache::AuthCookie weirdness
I'm experiencing a really strange problem with Apache::AuthCookie and Internet Explorer. Every now and then when I try and access a protected URL, I never see the login page. If I close the window, and open a new one, it works just fine. This is the case even if there are other windows open. In otherwords, I don't have to close all the IE windows to get in. I do not know if this same error occurs with Mozilla. If I inspect the logs, I see this: (with Apache::AuthCookie debugging turned on): (Application Server Error Log) [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_type Foo::Apache::AuthCookieHandler [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_name Bar [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] ses_key_cookie [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] uri /rc/ [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_type Foo::Apache::AuthCookieHandler [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_name Bar [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] ses_key_cookie [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] uri /rc/ [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_type Foo::Apache::AuthCookieHandler [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_name Bar [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] ses_key_cookie [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] uri /rc/ [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_type Foo::Apache::AuthCookieHandler [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] auth_name Bar [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] ses_key_cookie [Thu Jul 11 09:06:51 2002] [error] uri /rc/ (Application Server Access Log) 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jul/2002:09:06:51 -0600] GET /rc/ HTTP/1.0 403 1542 The browser and the server are locked in this conversation where the browser continually requests the protected URI.

RE: mod_perl help
make sure you are not using the sun as and ld etc. you can check by looking at the output of which as. (should be /usr/local/bin/as not /usr/ccs/bin/as). i have /usr/local/bin in my PATH before /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/ucb. if this doesnt help i would try recompiling perl. maybe someone with more knowledge of the subject could explain why mod_perl needs perl to be compiled with the same compiler (just idle curiosity) cheers -pete -Original Message- From: Ryan Hairyes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 4:45 PM To: Peter Werner Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: mod_perl help Thanks for the reply.

Re: mod_perl help
I had this same problem with installing some precompiled packages from sunfreeware, such as libdb. My only recommendation is to scrap the installed packages for anything related to perl, including perl itself. And note that even though it says that Perl was compiled with GCC, the options selected may be generally incompatibile with how perl works with dynamically loaded modules. This was the conclusion that I same to, anyways... Build the stuff yourself. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches. BTW, when compiling perl for Solaris 8, you'll need to do this: /Configure -Dcc='gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/' If you don't have the GNU linker/assember installed, then you can skip the -Dcc option.

Assuming mod_perl-1, you can use Apache::MyConfig:
use Apache::MyConfig;
print $_ = $Apache::MyConfig::Setup{$_}\n

Re: solaris9+apache2+mod_perl2
Well I commented the little switch statement what was giving me the
problems and all seems to be resolved.
In src/modules/mod_perl.c I've commend the following out:

case HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY:
retval = HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY;
break;
}

To my count thats lines 712-717... Just FYI
The only other thing that I've noticed while compiling is that I get
warings about duplicate definitions... Here is a sample of the Warning

Try again with the current cvs.

Working Directory

The problem is that the Working Directory is set to /. My question is how can I set the working directory to be the location of where the script is running.

POST_MAX and mod_perl ~2.0
To alter the allowable size of posted material under mod_perl 1.3x you would
use this:
use Apache::compat;
use Apache::Request;
handler
{
my $r = shift;
my $apr = Apache::Request-new($r, POST_MAX=(10*1024));
$apr-args; #get your params here...
}
What is the suggested technique for mod_perl 2.0?
I understand that Apache::Request is replaced with Apache::RequestRec and
Apache::RequestIO and Apache::Request does not compile with a complaint of
Can't locate object method boot via package mod_perl::boot at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Table.pm line 6. I seem to be running into a 1024
limit on urlencoded POSTs with my current configuration.

END subroutine in Apache::Registry
I just read the fine print: Apache::Registry runs BEGIN subroutines just once per child process, but END routines run every time a script is run. The implication is that an otherwise robust module may behave unexpectedly when it's imported by an Apache::Registry script. Doesn't this cause problems for mod_perl users? There is no mention of this issue in either mod_perl_to_cgi or mod_perl_traps. Admittedly, most of the code in my END subroutines should probably be refactored into OO DESTROY subroutines anyways. But if not burned, I've been significantly scalded by this belated realization. I don't see anything on CPAN that can be easily applied to all of the modules that written. I'll happily fill that void, but I must be overlooking the obvious solution. Can anyone provide any insights? Jim Schueler Motor City Interactive

Thanks for your help.. chdir is not a thread-safe function, (there is only one CWD per application) therefore the new ModPerl::Registry doesn't chdir to the dir of the script. We have discussed various workarounds on the dev list, but none of them has been applied yet. http://mathforum.org/discussions/epi-search/modperl-dev.html (search for 'chdir thread') If you want to extend @INC to include some extra paths change it during the startup. It's possible that we will have a special version of registry (ModPerl::RegistrySafeChdir) which does the right thing but you pay the price of a worse performance, read more about it here: http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2002/06/11/threads.html It's also possible that there will be ModPerl::RegistryNonThreaded or something like that, which will chdir just like the registry in mod_perl 1.0 did, which will restrict your code to run only on the prefork mpm.
