[MP2] Placing Apache::RequestRec Apache::RequestIO APR::Tableuse statements in startup.pl

2003-07-24 Thread Jamie Krasnoo
Will placing Apache::RequestRec  Apache::RequestIO  APR::Table in
startup.pl to load them up for multiple handlers have any bad side
effects? I noticed that when I load them via startup.pl the handlers
that use them don't complain that they don't have the use statements
within the module code and still work as normal.

 While this works for you, it's a bad practice. Why? Because other people using 
 your code may not have these modules loaded from startup.pl.
 

Won't loading them for every handler put an instance of it in
memory over and over again though? Or will Perl realize that
its already loaded and not load it again? How would this behave
in MPM threadpool?

 why DECLINED? just return Apache::OK.

My mistake, its been a while and I'm just getting back into it. So its

assuming it goes the same for MP2.
 
 
 I'm also not sure why do you use Apache-request, I assume you are inside a 
 handler, not a registry script. Since if you are inside a registry script you 
 don't need to return anything at all.

I was using Apache-request as an example. I guess it's a poor one. I
should have just used 'my $r = shift;' to get the point across.

I got the redirection to work. However I don't think its working as it

with Apache::RequestRec and Apache::RequestIO to have $r-headers_out()
to work. Without APR::Table loaded I get the error:

Place APR::Table in and the error goes away. Here's a sample script

mod_perl 2.0 and cookies

2003-07-11 Thread Jamie Krasnoo








So Ive decided to dive headlong into 2.0. So far I like
it but find the documentation lacking and there seems to be a lot missing. I
tried Apache::Cookie with it, no dice. It gave an
error to the effect that it didnt know what bootstrap was
(I think that was it). Apache::Cookie made inserting
cookies in mod_perl 1.0 so easy which in turn made
life easier for programming. However I have scoured the documentation on how to
insert a cookie into the header and the only thing I could come up with is that
you use a filter to do it. Somehow I dont think that this is right and I
am completely off. Could someone enlighten me as to how cookies work in MP2? If
I can get past this I can figure out the rest on my own and maybe write a
little documentation if I can understand it enough to do so.



Thank you,



Jamie








mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0

2003-07-09 Thread Jamie Krasnoo








Hi all,



Im currently working on a personal project to get
myself back in mod_perl programming order. However Im
more used to using mod_perl 1.0 with Apache 1.3.x. Im
going through the documentation for mod_perl 2.0 but
Im worried that most of the modules I need wont work with mod_perl 2.0. Ive been looking for what modules will
and will not work with 2.0 (like Apache::DBI for
pooling connections with MySQL). Would it be a better
benefit to me to switch over to 2.0?

Hi,

I am using lots of exec cgi SSI in my site, all the 
CGI called using exec are written in perl.
!--#exec cgi="standardcgi.cgi"--

I want to take advantage of mod_perl for performance,
but as I know "exec" will run as mod_cgi , not as mod_perl.

Can I use !--#include virtual="modperlscript.pl"-- ?
If above will run, will be run as a sub request.. ? 

Any other better solution to server the page included mod_perl scripts 
SSI in it, without running the subrequest/new process?

Is it Apache or me?

2001-02-25 Thread Jamie Krasnoo

I'm not quite sure how this works, and maybe I missed it in the Eagle book.
I have a handler set in httpd.conf like this:

Location /
Set-Handler perl-script
PerlHandler app::main
/Location

Now this works great when I want to go to the first page of the server.
However if I try to go to a static page, that page gets intercepted and the
app::main goes in to action. The handler doesn't intercept any of the other
set locations. Why is it intercepting static pages? Is it a standard rule
that a handler for Location / is never set?

if you set a handler for / it will handle every request that way.
you can either have all pages that are generated be /foo/ and set
that as the location, or you can force all files with a certain
suffix to be handled by mod_perl: Files ~ "*\.pl".

RE: Looking for a new distro

2001-01-14 Thread Jamie Krasnoo

I found what the problem was, thanks to Michael Weiner (Hunter). For some
reason, when mod_perl is compiled in to Apache as a static, it loads the
file stated in PerlRequire twice. When I recompiled mod_perl as a DSO it
stopped doing that. This bug seems like its a problem with the RedHat
distro. I should have seen it. There may be a reason that RH 7.0 comes with
Apache compiled with all mods in DSO. This problem doesn't seem to crop up
on other distributions.

Anyways, I think we can put this thread to bed. Thanks to everyone for your
comments.

ive tried a lot of different dists and nothing has me going
"oh yeah!!"

mandrake 7.2 is my current
"lesser of  Nth evils"

last summer i went to town downloading everything from
debian to suse and back to slack and redhat

at the time i started using mandrake its mod_perl was sett up nice

its not bad on 7.2 but it splits up so there is an httpd and an httpd-perl

i dont like having to configure
both so i un-rpmd then and rolled my own, DSO style
install in less than thirty mins
drop my config in and zoom!!

again some of this has to do with how a dist sets up apache
i like it all in /home/ww
but most put the conf 's under /etc etc etc.

some of these compatiblility  file management issues drive me nuts!!
and i usually uninstall and recomp my own

RedHat 7.0 and mod-perl

Is anyone using mod-perl with apache-1.3.14 on RedHat 7.0? Any complaints?

Jamie Krasnoo



RE: RedHat 7.0 and mod-perl

2001-01-09 Thread Jamie Krasnoo

I have one problem that realy is more of an annoyance than a threat. I've
mentioned it before and realy got no solutions as to why this happens. On
RedHat 7.0 when I have mod_perl-1.24_01 compiled in to apache-1.3.14 and
have a PerlRequire set to startup.pl. It (startup.pl) seems to get run
twice. I have dynamic subroutines loading up on startup so the init gets run
twice when it starts. It doesn't damage anything when it happens but this
problem only seems to happen with RedHat 7.0 and its an updated version of
it too. Could be that the glibc is still funky after putting in the new rpm
but its realy weird. One other thing is that when a stale pid file is
present it seems to only run the startup file once, super weird.

Not sure why it does this since I don't get this with any of the other Linux
distros or earlier RH distros (6.2 on down seems to behave just fine).

Re: Multiple Connections on Apache::DBI?

2000-09-13 Thread Jamie Krasnoo


Apache::DBI overrides DBI in the creation of a connection to the
database in order to cache the connection. So the connections you created
below are seen as the same by Apache::DBI and when you change one you
change the other since the connection is comming from the same persistent
pool. Try specifying the database in the connection to make
different rather than switching to it after connecting.

ie:

$DBI{db2} = join (":", $DBI{forum_db},$DBI{hostname});


That should create a difference between the two so Apache::DBI will keep
them separate. And it also gets rid off an un-needed do() :)

Good luck,

Jamie

 Basically, $db_forums can be any number of different db's depending upon
 certain veriables, but to get a persistant connection, I'm connecting to the
 server and then "use"ing the correct DB.
 
 The problem that I have is that the system works fine under normal uses.
 
 However, when I run it under mod_perl and Apache_DBI, the
 $db_forums-do{"use $DBI{forum_db}" );  also changes the $db_master
 reference as well.
 
 So my question is, am I doing something wrong here?
 
 $db_master will always point to one database, but $db_forums will point to
 different ones.  I can "use" a the correct db before each reference to it,
 but that seems like an awful lot of useless calls.
 
 I can't figure out why changing $db_forums would affect $db_master.
 
 Any clues are much appreciated.

However I get a segmentation fault (11) when I use a :: to describe where

This works fine -

  PerlHandler hello
/Location

to help here's a copy of my startup.pl - basic nothing special

use lib '/home/httpd/perl';

--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---

I think I know what the problem is. If the module doesn't have its directory
in the package declaration, it will seg fault. If its there, it runs fine.
But even so, the server should give an error and complain that it can't find
app::hello::handler instead of segmenting.

The problem can be replicated with a simple hello world module.

in the conf file is this

Location /hello
 SetHandler perl-script
 PerlHandler app::hello
/Location

with the directory structure as

/home/httpd/perl/app

and the hello.pm residing in app. Run with the package declaration as
"package app::hello;"
then as "package hello;" -- should seg fault on this one and single server
should die.

I tried this with both stock RedHat kernel and 2.4.0-test5 kernel, same
results both seg fault and
