RE: Apache::SessionManager pnotes index.html problem...
Hi Joseph, Thanks Enrico, I had no idea that was the problem. My case is http://yourserver.com/ As I have already said to you in the previous post, the problem is that currently, Apache::SessionManager skips all subrequests. When you request http://yourserver.com/, Apache do it because you've defined the 'DirectoryIndex' directive and no session starts. Anyway to make this appear in the documents? I would be happy to apply a patch for you and resend you source for Apache::SessionManager with this documnented? Thanks. I'm upgrading the docs with these additional notes but you're encouraged to send me all your suggestions and troubles! > Your configuration seems to be bizarre...! ;-) > As I have answered to you in a previous personal post, if you want to use > Apache::SessionManager with the directives (and you do not want > to put the PerlSetVar SessionManager* directives in httpd.conf's global scope, > of course), you can install it in the header_parser phase by putting Enrico, my fault. It was late and i just wanted to get the out a sample to the mailing list. I thought it was mod_perl problem and couldn't fault Apache::SessionManager directly so I thought it best not to bother you again personally. ;-) There is no fault ;-) I think that there are (at least) two places where to speak over the modules related to mod_perl: o the mod_perl mailing list o the newsgroups (comp.lang.perl.modules, comp.lang.perl.misc). Currently Apache::SessionManager hasn't own mailing list, so this list can be a good place. - Enrico

Though most of the Perl things should work in the same way under 2.0. The chapters on C are definitely applying only to Apache 1.3. Not Apache 2.0. Second, the online documentation for mod_perl 2.0 is far from being complete and you should refer to the 1.0 documentation for the missing parts. Use the search to find your way around. A help to port the 1.0 bits of docs to 2.0 is appreaciated. PerlSetEnv and other Perl* directives go to httpd.conf. The startup file should be created, it's not provided by mod_perl. So go to http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide and start reading from there. All your questions are already answered there. Finally, since mod_perl 2.0 is under development and the docs are incomplete you are much better off learning with mod_perl 1.0 which is stable and pretty much bug free. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH --> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

Actually I haven't got this to work.

It's a module, not a CGI script.

DBM ties within Apache under Mod Perl
Hey, One of the things I understood mod_perl allowed you to do is to tie a Hash/DBM to the top apache process, so that it's always available throughout the other apache processes? Is that right? Is there a good tutorial somewhere (or is it simple enough to show me in an email?) Thing I want to do is this.. We've just launched a huge site which was never very well designed/structured etc, and we don't reall have time right now to re-do it... We're now getting steady traffic (by accident really) and of course there's quite a high drop off... I want to add a simple popup that appears when someone leaves the site.. What it would do is simply ask .. "Are you leaving the site because.. a) It's not what I'm looking for b) I don't like the look of it c) I was just browsing d) You're too expensive e) Leave me alone and don't bother me" Now I was going to simply link the options to a 'Thankyou' page with a query string we can grep out of the logs at a later date, but while discussing this with a friend last night he said that if he had bothered to vote he would like to know the average voting, so the thankyou page could include a little bargraph of the votes so far. It needs to be very quick (cos I don't want to unneccasarily load the server) but I think all I want to do is +1 to corresponding value in a DBM when they vote and return a graph from each of the values in the DBM in the thanks page. (PS. Do people think this is a bad idea from the start? Would you vote? Or would it just annoy you immensly? ie. is is a bit too much of an intrusion?)

This I think was done so that people wouldn't mistakenly install ppm packages for builds 6xx, which report the same ARCHITECTURE but which are binary incompatable with 8xx. The http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ repository should work with ActivePerl 8xx (and also the recent Perl-5.8-win32-bin Perl/Apache distribution from ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/), but for a self-compiled perl-5.8 used with the CPAN PPM distribution, a change in PPM.pm is needed - let me know (off-list) if you'd like a copy of the needed patch. -- best regards, randy

Re: Stacked Handlers Execution Chain
however, DONE is special - it indicates that all content has been sent and the request cycle should proceed straight to the logging phase. from a handler perspective, DONE behaves the same as an error code - it terminates the request cycle. But the book doesn't say that DONE does break the chain, though it does. an error in a book? I'm shocked. :) I suspect that 1.0 logic handled DONE automatically - DONE was captured and passed back to Apache, which took appropriate action. and I suspect this is what you found in 2.0, since you test for DONE but didn't handle it explicitly. It works exactly the same in 2.0 as in 1.0 (using the current cvs ;), the chain is aborted on !(OK || DECLINED). Any return codes are passed further to Apache. sounds proper to me. nice work. --Geoff
