Red Hat Linux Beta
After reading the comments in Static vs. DSO on Linux specifically I was reminded that I had forgotton to say the following: Red Hat are testing httpd-2.0 and mod_perl-1.99 with regard to including them in the next release of Red Hat Linux. There is a beta release available as described in the instructions below in case any of you guys would like to try it and suggest changes before it's too late. Any input would be deeply appreciated. Regards Gary -- A formless gray void shifts around you. You feel neither pleasure nor pain; mainly a sense of waiting. Other souls similarly confused shuffle aimlessly about. What do you do now? Where do you go from here? Welcome to LIMBO, a new beta release of Red Hat Linux.

RE: possible buget in CGI.pm
From: mike808 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 July 2002 05:54 To: Lincoln Stein; Cope, Greg; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: possible buget in CGI.pm Lincoln, Greg, mod_perl list: The problem appears to be that the -no_xhtml option is only processed in _setup_symbols. This is called only during import() and compile(), and sets $XHTML appropriately. However, $XHTML is reset to 1 in initialize_globals(). _reset_globals() is an alias for this as well. initialize_globals() is called only once in the startup execution (has a comment Make mod_perl happy) of the module. However, _reset_globals is called during new(), and is registered with mod_perl as a cleanup handler. What this means is that after the first execution, the cleanup handler fires and _reset_globals() is called, which calls initialize_globals(), which then sets the global $XHTML to 1. QED. Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply, we had got to a similar point as well (that initialize globals was stomping on it the second time round), but not is as much detail thanks for the explinatoin! Lincon, is this enough to go on? We've munged our install, which is not the ideal solution. Thanks everyone for thier time. Lincon for the module, and Mike for the excellent explinatoin. The list is great, and support like this is an excellent factor in our internal push for more Open Source stuff!

Mount something with my perl script
Title: Mount something with my perl script Hello, I don't know if this is the right mailing list, but well... How can I mount something with my perl script? I've got always the error: mount: only root can do this So I changed my script something like this: #! /usr/bin/perl -w `su - root password -c 'mount -t smbfs -o credentials=some.file //windows/share /mount/point'`; If I start the script in the shell as root, it works fine. If I start the script in the shell as some other user, it asked me for the password. If I start the script in via the Internet-Browser, in the log files it first asked for the password and after one second it completes to incorrect password How can I change my script to execute the mount command as root automatically, or to mount something within my perl script???

It relies on an available terminal to ask for the root password. You can work around this by using an expect(1) script, but then you'd have to deal with tcl. In all honestly, you'd be better off looking at sudo(1). It's a much easier way to specify root access. If you don't already have it installed, you can pick it up from: http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ Also, if this is linux, you may be able to specify the user mount option in /etc/fstab which will let anybody mount. -Dom

tried to run some asp pages but the server gave me an Internat Error error I
don't know how to work asp can you help me?
By the way mode_perl apache is incredible I was
running apahce 2.0 and php pages would load very fast my invision forum would
load in 5-6 seconds! I finally downgrades to apache 1.3.26 with mod_perl and the
php pages are loadin .999-2 seconds! It's amazing...

Attribute Handlers under mod_perl again
Hi everyone. I've revisited using Attribute::Handlers work under mod perl again, and I am still unsuccesful. Looking at Attribute::Handlers, it appears that Attribute::Handlers relies on CHECK blocks to do its work. I verified this by uncommenting one of the debugging warnings in Handlers.pm and compiling a module that uses Attribute::Profiled on the command line. When I do this I see: Handling Profiled on CODE(0x8a6cda0) in CHECK with [] But when running the module under mod_perl, the above warning never appears int he error log. accroding to this message: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperlm=96639978528467w=2 mod_perl does not, and can not, support CHECK blocks at all, so this is sort of what I would expect. Given that, I'm curious how anyone has gotten Attribute::Handlers to work under mod_perl. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm running perl 5.6.1, mod_perl 1.27, apache 1.3.27, Attribute::Handlers 0.77.

You might make sure that StateDir points to a valid directory.
/tmp is a unix type directory ( you can create c:/tmp in windows too )
To really start diagnosing the errors though, we will need to
know what is in the error_log for that internal server error.

Re: Static vs. DSO on Linux specifically
Sam Tregar No, the last Redhat Apache/mod_perl I used was in 6.2. I didn't file a Sam Tregar bug about it because after looking around it appeared that it was a well Sam Tregar known problem. After that I started compiling Apache/mod_perl static and Sam Tregar left the seg-faults behind. PMFJI :] Back in RH 6.2 I would hazard that the segfault was more related to Perl being set to uselargefiles and Apache NOT being set. This only became visible when one tried to build mod_perl as a DSO. Building as STATIC caused Apache to be rebuilt using the now current uselargefiles setting. Cheers :) -Sx-
Re: Mount something with my perl script
Hi, ouch, bad idea, wrong list, but: 4 solutions: 1.) let your webserver run as root (NEVER, NEVER do this!!) 2.) write a daemon that runs as root and does such things for your normal programs. (Overkill in this case) 3.) use sudo to allow the webserver's user to run exactly that command (with exactly that parameters) 4.) put that mount into your /etc/fstab with parameters noauto, user (noauto = don't mount at system boot time, user = allow any user to mount) cu Michael 24.07.2002 13:55:13, Heiss, Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Heiss, Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Mount something with my perl script Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 13:55:13 +0200 Hello, I don't know if this is the right mailing list, but well...

Re: Mount something with my perl script
As Dominic Mitchell already pointed out, you're better using sudo than su. Or just add the option owner (and optionally uid=uid) to /etc/fstab. Or just chgrp scriptegid /usr/bin/smbmnt ; chmod 04750 /usr/bin/smbmnt. Regards, Luciano Rocha -- Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.

-Sx- said Building as STATIC caused Apache to be rebuilt using the now current uselargefiles setting. Sam Tregar said I don't think so. Rebuilding Apache/mod_perl static with the exact same Perl that shipped with Redhat 6.2 solved the segfaults. :) How is this different from what I said? :) To better clarify - I said that IF you had tried to build the mod_perl as a DSO and the uselargefiles setting is NOT the same between Perl and Apache (IE - both are either uselargefiles or they are both undef) you WILL get a segfault -- even today. Building as STATIC causes the httpd to be completely rebuilt and the mod_perl settings will cause the Apache binary to match the Perl definition ofd use large files. Building mod_perl as static causes other issues as well - like causing Apache --with-layout to forget which layout it is supposed to use... Oh well; -Sx- :]
