Re: Trouble getting mod_perl and apache running with Apache::DBI

Do you have something in your code that connects to a database during startup? That could be a problem. Also, what's the point of use vars qw($dbh %session); in your startup.pl? Do you actually know what package these are being declared in? Probably not one that you will be using later in your scripts. - Perrin -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html

That could be part of the issue. If you make %somehash a real global, it might help. I re-attacked this problem by adding a caller() check in App, and it proved to me that App was indeed being loaded twice. Once by my startup.pl (use App ();), and _again_ by an eval. caller() couldn't point me to the spot of code that was doing this, other than telling me it was a 'require App;'. I started flipping switches and localized it to PerlFreshRestart being on. When I turn it off, the eval() happens _before_ my startup.pl use() and subsequence call to App-load(). Well, first of all, you're just asking for trouble if you turn on PerlFreshRestart. Don't do it. Do you hava anything like a PerlModule App in your httpd.conf? You haven't actually shown us your real conf, startup, or code, so I'm just guessing here. Are you no longer having problems now that you turned off PerlFreshRestart? - Perrin -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html

My (poor) memory seems to recall something from the Eagle book causing me to add it. I'd never seen the 'evil' document before this weekend.

You haven't actually shown us your real conf, startup, or code, so I'm just guessing here. No, I only had a 'use App;' in my startup.

When I added a caller() to the top of my module, I saw the initial startup.pl use(), and then a later eval() that I couldn't track. When I turned OFF PerlFreshRestart, the order was reversed (eval() before startup.pl's use()) and my problem, of course, went away.

Your startup comes before the virtual host sections then?

As I understand it, the only thing that PerlFreshRestart does is clear
%INC when you restart the sever (with a USR1 signal), kind of like this:
while (($k, $v) = each(%INC))
{
delete($INC{$k}); eval(require $k);
}
I don't know where that eval call would be coming from with PerlFreshRestart
off. That's why I was wondering if you had PerlModule call somewhere in
httpd.conf.
