1. Problem Description:
Hi
I have ugraded from apache1.3 to Apache2 and I am having a performance
problem with a cgi script.
Hardware
Dell 2550, Dual Proc, 2GB RAM, RedHat Linux 9.0
On Apache 1.3, when I do a ps -ef, I cannot see the cgi script running.
I assume this is because Apache is NOT spawning a separate process to
satisfy the request.
On Apache2, there are hundreds of the cgi scripts running and
performance is roughly half what it was on Apache 1.3
The cgi script in question makes a connection to a mysql database.
I have had to increase the max number of connections allowed by mysql to
allow for the large number of spawned perl processes attempting to make
a DB connection.
Is there a configuration option to stop this happening?
I have the following relating to perl in my httpd.conf
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
#
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
# PerlRequire /usr/local/apache2/2.0.45/conf/startup.pl
PerlModule Apache2
# PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
Location /cgi-bin
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
# AddHandler perl-script .pl
# PerlResponseHandler Apache::Registry
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
# SetHandler perl-script
SetHandler cgi-script
