[Agenda] Team management and Project tracking - Success Story
Hello! We just finished writing first version of our system Agenda - http://agenda.samara.net. First of all I want to say about our framework - Apache::Site, which we used in all our current projects (about 20). If you don't interested just skip to next paragraph. http://agenda.samara.net/Apache-Site.pm It provides Framework for Template::Toolkit modules... Combination of Apache::Site and Temlate::Toolkit is more powerful and flexible for us than any other solutions on this page http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/08/21/templating.html?page=4 Module parses URI, determine handler from it, has a caching capabilities... In short word, it is our template for mod_perl handler, which works with Template::Toolkit. We wrote about this module here, but didn't recieve any responses... I think lack of documentation is a problem... or my gruesome english :) Let's come back to Agenda... It is pure model-view-controller application. There are Agenda.pm - Template::Toolkit - Apache::Agenda.pm modules - therefore Agenda is very flexible. It works on Linux box now. It has a multi-language kernel. It has 2 languages now - english russian, but we didn't write english Help yet :( Translation to other language or correcting of interface may be performed from the same WEB interface. It is in production for my studio (http://www.webzavod.ru/) during 2 months. Productivity rised greatly, president of our companies is happy - he gets reports when he wants, I'm happy - I do not write these reports. And delicate topic... Our chief wants to sell this application... Strange! :)) Price is $590 for one installation and unlimited licenses now, but it requires Oracle now - we want to migrate the application to free database (mySQL). Writing complex systems with powerful databases such Oracle is much simpler on developer stage. MSProject 2002 with comparable functionality (I saw MS Project - we provide all basic functionality, I dont know what I need else from Agenda now) but better interface :) will costs for our company (50 employees) --- MSProject Server 2002 - $1500 + 50*$599 for Microsoft Project Standart = $31500, or MSProject Server 2002 - $1500 + 50*$170 for Web Access Licenses = $1 + price for required MS SQL Server $1500 minimum or $11000 maximum I want to contribute my work to Open Source Community, but it breaks my company policy :-/ I have a right to pass sources with my gratitude for free to contributors of technologies we used (for own usage) - Apache, Perl, mod_perl, DBI, DBD::mysql, Template::Toolkit, Apache::ASP (we used it early), AxKit... Sorry if forget someone. May these people advise how to separate free version of the system for Open Source Community and not much harm sales of the system? PS: We're redesigning the interface just now. Some pages are different from each other :) Sergey Polyakov aka BeerBong Chief of WebZavod http://www.webzavod.ru Tel. +7 (8462) 43-93-85 | +7 (8462) 43-93-86 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Agenda] Team management and Project tracking - Success Story
First of all I want to say about our framework - Apache::Site, which we used in all our current projects (about 20). If you don't interested just skip to next paragraph. http://agenda.samara.net/Apache-Site.pm Did you actually release Apache::Site on CPAN? Couldn't find it there. We did not release it on CPAN. We announced it in mod_perl list first and wanted to get offers for naming the Module (Apache::Site sounds too much pretentious :) ). We consider that code is not good as possible and thought gurus will point to weak parts of code. After all, gurus can say - it is comletely useless module, because there are better solutions and ... bla bla bla... :) We don't want to publish JustAnotherSillyApacheFramework :) And another, main trouble - permanent lack of time for documenting :(( Let's come back to Agenda... It is pure model-view-controller application. There are Agenda.pm - Template::Toolkit - Apache::Agenda.pm modules - therefore Agenda is very flexible. It works on Linux box now.

Productivity rised greatly, president of our companies is happy - he gets reports when he wants, I'm happy - I do not write these reports. This looks quite interesting. The company I work for is constantly looking for some useable workflow-, ressource- and processmananagement, erm. whatever you call it :) And delicate topic... Our chief wants to sell this application... Strange! :)) Price is $590 for one installation and unlimited licenses now, but it requires Oracle now - we want to migrate the application to free database (mySQL). Writing complex systems with powerful databases such Oracle is much simpler on developer stage. I think the price is reasonable - but the requirment of an oracle installation isn't really a good point for us. :) Btw, I would beg you to give PostgreSQL a shot before you port Agenda to MySQL, as PostgreSQL is far nearer - in terms of features and warm fuzzy feelings - to Oracle as MySQL is (I don't want to get into advocacy here, but I wouldn't say that MySQL is a RDMBS at all). Agreed, realization of all business logic outside database is real PITA, just mySQL is more popular... PS: Forgot to say that there is another way - Application Service Providing. Just now 3 independent system works on http://agenda.samara.net - Demo Russian, Demo English and Production version of Company... It should be mch cheaper, but there is another bottleneck - not all companies will agree to post payments for projects and other confidential information to Application which hosted somewhere in snowy Russia with bears on the streets : Sergey Polyakov aka BeerBong Chief of WebZavod http://www.webzavod.ru Tel. +7 (8462) 43-93-85 | +7 (8462) 43-93-86 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also if you are running apache as a service, be warned that the default impersonating user (LocalSystem) does not typically have access permissions to net share (this is especially true under NT Domain) - therefore you have to change the impersonating user of the service.

RE: while - modperl 2.0/Apache 2.0
Greetings. I have observed the same behavior (on win32). Scripts that are invoked from the same browser through the same URL appear to bind to the same perl thread and are therefore serialized. Changing the URL appears to bind the request to a different thread. (My observation regarded access from a different Location: Udei's experience shows that a URL change suffices). I have often wondered wether this is incidental or specified behaviour. Cheers, alf

perl section: Files under Directory - whats wrong here?
Hi,
In a regular Apache configuration style, this works for me:
Directory /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/capmon/
Files '_*.mod'
PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /opt/capmon/inc:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/capmon/cgi
PerlSendHeader On
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
/Files
/Directory
Now why doesn't this work in a perl /perl section, :
$Directory = {
'/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/capmon/' = {
'Files' = {
'_*.mod' = {
'PerlHandler' = 'Apache::Registry',
'PerlSendHeader' = 'On',
'PerlSetEnv' = [
'PERL5LIB',
'/opt/capmon/inc:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/capmon/cgi'
],
'SetHandler' = 'perl-script'
}
}
}
};
It gives no errors, but just doesn't treat it as CGI. As far as I can see,
it is *exactly* equivalent to the Directory section at the top, isn't it?
In a perl /perl section, this works *does* work:
$Files = {
'_*.mod' = {
'PerlHandler' = 'Apache::Registry',
'PerlSendHeader' = 'On',
'PerlSetEnv' = [
'PERL5LIB',
'/opt/capmon/inc:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/capmon/cgi'
],
'SetHandler' = 'perl-script'
}
};
But it isn't limited to the /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/capmon/ directory.
How do I restrict it to a particular directory?
I've read the
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#Apache_Configuration_in_Perl
section
and
http://modperl.com:9000/book/chapters/ch8.html#Configuring_Apache_with_Perl
and especially from the last reference, I've tried to follow the Directive
is a Nested Block section exactly. Are there any other pointers?
I'm running on SuSE Linux 7.2:
pvm@lyta:~/capmon rpm -qa | egrep -i 'apache|mod_perl'
apache-1.3.19-48
mod_perl-1.25-30
perl-Apache-SSI-2.16-28
It's also 28C in this room, so maybe that is the root cause!! :-)

[OT] bOP (was: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Petal 0.1)
and on top of that I want people to be able to edit templates easily in dreamweaver, frontpage, etc and send templates thru HTML tidy to be able to always output valid XHTML. If you are an OO-advocate, you would hide the presentation format in objects, e.g. Table, String, and Link. This ensures the output is valid through the (re)use of independently tested objects. Objects also provide a mechanism for overriding behavior. Well, there is an interesting example on this page: input type=text name=username size=25 And the question which is raised is: How does the graphic designer know that the display size of a username is 25?. Here is what you'd write with Petal: input type=text name=username size=25 petal:attributes=size user.login_preferred_length; maxsize user.login_maxlength / Then no matter what, the display size of a username would be OK. And the graphic designer could still move this tag around or change the 'size' attribute. Better, you could do the following: span style=border-style:solid; border-color: blue petal:attributes=style default_style input type=text name=username size=25 petal:attributes=size user.login_preferred_length; maxsize user.login_maxlength / /span And then the dynamic component would have a blue border when it is edited (so that the graphic designers knows that this bit of the page is subject to change) but which would be set to default_style when the page is processed... I find it really really horrible to mix HTML and Perl code. So let's say that some different kind of HTML is needed, it means that I have to create a new object, subclass an existing widget, etc... With a templating system, this can all be done by someone who has knowledge of HTML. Better, with Petal, all the presentational stuff can be done with a WYSIWYG editor a la frontpage. No need to go and tweak some strange declarative language. Actually I don't think these two things are incompatible. After all you could have 'independently tested objects' which would themselves use templates... Then you could organize your templates into two kinds: 'system / admin' templates which are related to the 'web application', you the programmer, would be in charge of maintaining these templates. 'presentational' templates which would just delegate method calls to your template driven widget library. You'd give these templates for your graphic designers to play with... And here is the HTML-less source: http://petshop.bivio.biz/src?s=View.items Well, sorry, I find it really, really horrible :-) For example: image = 'add_to_cart', field = 'add_to_cart', alt = 'Add Item to Your Shopping Cart', or: cellpadding = 2, cellspacing = 2, You are definitely tying your objects with HTML. 'cellpadding' or 'alt' are _definitely_ HTML-specific, and I don't see why they should be polluting your business logic. I see that all the code which you output is html 4.0 transitional. What if you want to make everything XHTML 1.1 strict? Or if you want to get rid of all the 'font face' tags? You want to rewrite all your widget library? Wouldn't it be easier to have templates which you can send through some kind of HTML fixed / validator such as tidy? Apologies to those who are tired of the *ML vs. Perl debate. Well, as long as we don't start trolling and that we agree to disagree we'll be fine :-) Best regards, -- IT'S TIME FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF WEB Jean-Michel Hiver - Software Director [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44 (0)114 255 8097 VISIT HTTP://WWW.MKDOC.COM
mod_perl-Apache server error problem
Hi,
I have installed apache 1.3.26, mod_perl
1.27 and php 4.1.2 on a Sun Sparc
running solaris 7
All the installation process went ok,
apache works fine and all my php scripts run without
any problem.
I wrote a very simple asp (perlscript)
page in the servers home directory and I had no problem.
But when I copied the same script in a subdirectory a 500
internal srver error came out and in the servers
error log was written the following message:

Re: Apache-print Timed Out
This may be a long shot but the circumstances sound familiar. I had a problem where an HTTP connection was simply not being properly closed and Netscape4 was just hanging around waiting for the response to finish whereas other browsers/platforms had no problem, ie. the other browsers were auto-cancelling the delayed response. Connecting to port 80 over telnet also clearly showed the connection was simply not closing and I modified the java proxy server source in an attempt to hammer blow the connection. Turns out that the JRE needed upgrading on the proxy and the I/O worked properly. My point is it may well be nothing at all to do with Apache/mod_perl. I had been trying to debug the PHP engine on the server but telnetting from the proxy to the server showed the connection was closing correctly so it had to be the proxy's fault. as I said, this may be a long shot. chris On Thursday 18 Jul 2002 3:21 pm, you wrote: On 7/10/02 10:37 AM, David Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] claimed: I have a couple of strange bugs showing up in Bricolage that have something to do with Apache-print timing out (with Win 95 and Mac OS 9 -- yes, these folks need to join the new millennium), and have no idea how or under what circumstances print times out. Okay, I've got the output of some tcpdump runs in Bricolage Bugzilla. http://bricolage-bugzilla.thepirtgroup.com/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=35 All they demonstrate, however, is that Apache/mod_perl never finishes sending the page to the browser.

Re: Apache-print Timed Out
David Wheeler wrote: Why should Apache-print ever time out? One reason could be a web client that disconnects. There could also be a dropped network connection or one that's too slow. I think you can adjust this behavior with the TimeOut directive in httpd.conf. I didn't even know that timing out was something that a print method could do. This isn't the same thing as CORE::print. It's overriden for mod_perl to send to the network. Even CORE::print can return false in certain conditions, like when writing a file when the disk is full. And why does it only happen for some browser/platform combinations? Probably buggy browsers or TCP stacks. - Perrin

Unable to build Apache::ePerl
My company recently took ownership of a project/website that was utilizes Apache, mod_perl, and Apache::ePerl on a Linux box. While I'm familiar with Apache, mod_perl, and other embedding methods (Embperl to name one), I'm new to ePerl. I don't have access to the original server, and I've been asked to build a Linux/Apache/mod_perl/ePerl box from scratch. After a very basic RedHat install (to avoid RPM dependancy hell), I successfully built Perl 5.6.1 and Apache 1.3.26 with mod_perl 1.27 and mod_ssl 2.8.10 all from source tarballs. Unfortunately on my last step, I'm having trouble building ePerl from the 2.2.14 or 2.2.13 tarballs. I'm attempting to build the integrated Perl 5 modules (Parse::* and Apache::ePerl, etc.). The first step, perl Makefile.PL works fine. However, I get the following error when doing make: [gregg@litlink eperl-2.2.14]$ perl Makefile.PL Configuring for ePerl 2.2.14 (02-08-1998) Now please type 'make' to compile. Good luck.

So I went into the configure file, and I edited line 574 to read 'perlvers=5.6.1'. That didn't work, and produced a similar error to the one described above, so I edited the line to read 'perlvers=5.003'. This time, it began making the files, but it stoped with a compiler error: cd mod make make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/mod' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/mod/Parse' cp ePerl.pm ../blib/lib/Parse/ePerl.pm AutoSplitting ../blib/lib/Parse/ePerl.pm (../blib/lib/auto/Parse/ePerl) /usr/local/bin/perl -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/typemap ePerl.xs ePerl.xsc mv ePerl.xsc ePerl.c cc -c -I/home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14 -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -DVERSION=\2.0214\ -DXS_VERSION=\2.0214\ -fpic -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/CORE ePerl.c In file included from ePerl.xs:49: /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: parse error before `__extension__' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: parse error before `n' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: parse error before `if' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: conflicting types for `__retval' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: previous declaration of `__retval' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: `__len' undeclared here (not in a function) /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: initializer element is not constant /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: parse error before `if' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: redefinition of `__retval' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: `__retval' previously defined here /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: parse error before `char' /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/eperl_proto.h:84: parse error before `}' make[2]: *** [ePerl.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/mod/Parse' make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gregg/eperl-2.2.14/mod' make: *** [all] Error 2 I'm using gcc version 2.96 2731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110). While I can hack Perl, I know little of C. I know ePerl-2.2.14 was released in 1998, so it wasn't written with version 5.6.1 of Perl or gcc 2.96 in mind. Is there a way to build ePerl with a modern Linux distro? Am I doing something wrong, or must I use an older version of Perl and/or gcc? Many thanks, Gregg Casillo
[QUESTION] mod_perl skipping phases
I am not subscribed to the list, so please copy me on any replies. We have recently upgraded to the latest 1.3.x apache and mod_perl and our code is flagging a warning that it did not before. I am hoping it is the result of a bug fixed in Apache or mod_perl and that I can change our code to detect and ignore it. It seems that sometimes some phases of a request are skipped and the cleanup handler is called. We have a PerlHeaderParserHandler which gathers all sorts of information and stores it in pnotes, and later handlers use this information. However after the upgrade we occasionally, and it is rare, get a warning from the cleanup handler that the data structure is not present in pnotes, which makes me think that the PerlHeaderParserHandler is not being called. In an attempt to see what was causing this I added a warn $r-as_string into the cleanup handler. The request looked valid enough, but there were two things I noticed. 1. This only ever happens on a POST request 2. The response section was always HTTP/1.1 (null) This make me think that the content handler is not being called either. Our system is setup with a lightweight front end apache which proxies requests to a backend mod_perl server. Does anyone know of a circumstance that this can happen ? Thanks, Graham.
