Re: OSC early bird and mod_perl T-Shirts
SB == Stas Bekman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: SB 2. We want T-Shirts. Is there some kind company to sponsor the SB mod_perl T-Shirts this year? It might be nice it some T-shirts were available (somehow) to non-attendees - after all, every shirt worn is advertising ;) Or perhaps the final design could be made available, and people could just get them printed individually (only 11 UKP down the high street !) Just a thought ... - Adam

Be sure you've got the latest CW version of Storable installed. I had a very similar problem, claiming that the data was serialised using version 50.xx; I think it indicates that the serialised data is somehow corrupt. I think I saw it because I had frozen a scalar that was not a reference, but I could be mistaken. But it is not a version problem, it just looks like one ;) Anway, after fixing some other bugs, blowing away the stored items and re-starting, the problem vanished. Good luck, - Adam
Variant of Monday-morning bug with Apache::DBI + DBD::Oracle
Just thought I'd report on a puzzling bug ... for us it was caused by a firewall, but I can imagine you'd get the same behaviour if packets to your Oracle box starting falling into a hole. Symptom: Apache children hanging for almost exactly 12 minutes on DB transactions, usually early weekday mornings. Underlying cause: A firewall was breaking idle TCP sessions, including connections between Apache Oracle, causing packets to be 'mysteriously' dropped. Problem: Apache::DBI's ping check worked fine, but when the dbh was ejected from the cache (and so went out of scope), something in the DESTROY stack was blocking, and holding the child up for 12m. I'm guesing the underlying DBD::Oracle code was trying to do a nice shutdown on the dbh, but obviously couldn't. Quick hack: Tweak Apache::DBI to keep the ejected dbh in scope, in a global @array or something, and perform a daily/weekly restart on apache. My guess at a proper solution: Some way of flagging the DBH as broken, so that underlying DBD::* drivers don't try to use it during a DESTROY call, or something. Our solution: Reconfigure the firewall ;) - Adam

PH == Perrin Harkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: PH Are you loading the Oracle driver in the parent process (with PH startup.pl)? I think I remember this sometimes causing problems PH with re-connecting. No, but we did hand load it in a module called from perl.conf with PerlModule. We had a good reason for that, too (to do with the Oracle driver overloading alarm(), so that the second alarm in alarm(20); $dbh = DBI-connect(dbi:Oracle:..., ...); alarm(0); cleared a different type of alarm that the first call set ...) PH Another solution is to have the child process exit if the ping PH fails. You get one failed request, but you clear out the messed PH up processes quickly and replace them with new ones that can PH connect safely. Yeah, good point. Although our poor little WAP service (for that is what was for) gets so few hits, they'll all be getting failed if we do that ; - Adam
Knowing if a apache server is compiled with mod_perl
Mat == Mat [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Mat Hi everyone, I'd like to know if there is a simple way to find Mat if an apache server is compiled with mod_perl and with which Mat version. This does it for me: $ strings /some/httpd | grep 'mod_perl\/' The 'strings' command works under Linux and Solaris, I think it's fairly standard ... and handy :) - Adam
