Re: ticketsystem
I noticed that the MS Explorer remembers both username and corresponding password, making the cookie based authentication system useless. (closing and reopening all windows does not help) pure evil..!! (IMHO) I don't use exploder very often... is this really true..??

Re: perl calendar application
build something large. (Trying to build a garden with three different climates and have it work as one big garden is a huge challenge and certainly not worth pursuing if you're trying to maximize production.) I agree with this... however if you have to play in that garden because half of you developers are PHP developers and have are perl developers. then take a look at this module. Apache::ProxyStuff I believe the module was originally written to play will with domonio apps. We used it to have a mason back ended server playing with a php back ended server and then unifying the site. This is really cool when you are "lazy" and you wan to install some app that already written. no more Gosh darn ... that is just what I need guess i will have to port it.

You'll never be a worse person for learning something new, and the overheard required to manage a php+perl enabled apache is only minimally more than managing one or the other. IMHO, it's just lame to rewrite something for which there exists dozens of good apps just because of the language im which it is written. You might as well be arguing about GPL/BSD/Artistic at that point. I'm not going to get sucked into a language advocacy debate. But at least in my case, your comments are quite off base. A) I don't need to learn PHP. I learned PHP four or five years ago. The experience wasn't pleasant. My most recent experience with PHP was to port a PHP3 app from PostgreSQL to MySQL. It was very tedious and still unpleasant. (Yes PHP4 supposed finally has a real database interface like DBI, but most of the apps out there aren't written for PHP4.) B) Simplicity is good. The fewer things running inside my web server to meet my needs the better. This is a security issue as well as an ease of maintenance issue. C) We are organizationally committed to perl. Our employees and contractors are not expected to know PHP and most are quite happy that I don't make them write in PHP. A long term strategy of keeping my programmers (including myself) happy seems like a good thing. D) (And I think this is the most important point of all.) There are good reasons for deciding on a language and sticking with it if your hope is to build something large. (Trying to build a garden with three different climates and have it work as one big garden is a huge challenge and certainly not worth pursuing if you're trying to maximize production.) My hope is to take the calendar portion of things and build upon it. Ultimately I'd like to have something that has the functionality of Outlook plus bugzilla. I've gotten several emails privately with offers of source for various "in progress" projects that people say they're willing to make open source.

Re: the edge of chaos
this is not the solution... but it could be a bandaid until you find one. set the MaxClients # lower. # Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number # of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever # reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW. # It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking # the system with it as it spirals down... # MaxClients 150 On Wed, Jan 03, 2001 at 10:25:04PM -0500, Justin wrote: Hi, and happy new year!

Apache::AuthCookieDBI BEGIN problems...??
Well been racking my brain against this one for awhile now.. so I figured that I would reach-out for some help ;) First let me say I am ashamed ... I twitled with the shiny bits. the following code in the Apache::AuthCookieDBI module does not work properly (for me). -- code -- BEGIN { my @keyfile_vars = grep { $_ =~ /DBI_SecretKeyFile$/ } keys %{ Apache-server-dir_config() }; foreach my $keyfile_var ( @keyfile_vars ) { my $keyfile = Apache-server-dir_config( $keyfile_var ); my $auth_name = $keyfile_var; $auth_name =~ s/DBI_SecretKeyFile$//; unless ( open( KEY, "$keyfile" ) ) { Apache::log_error( "Could not open keyfile for $auth_name in file $keyfile" ); } else { $SECRET_KEYS{ $auth_name } = KEY; close KEY; } } ### MY DIRTY HACK my $auth_name = "WhatEver"; $SECRET_KEYS{ $auth_name } = "thisishtesecretkeyforthisserver"; ### END MY DIRTY HACK } -- end code -- Note that without MY DIRTY LITTLE HACK it does not set those two variables. I am/was pretty sure that this somehow relates to "StackedHandlers" but I built mod_perl statically with ALL_HOOKS=1 EVERYTHING=1 it is Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_01 configured So after I set MY DIRTY LITTLE HACK. Things chug right along i bind to the database I authenticate against the db. until I/the module tries to set_cookie in the form Set-Cookie: Apache::AuthCookieDBI_WhatEver=jeff:2001-01-02-23-07-10:2001-01-02-23-12-10:2f8e147086c88e6771ac6751b5a1f25d; path=/; domain=.jeff So that makes me wonder if Date::Calc is installed correctly. i.e. he module uses Date::Calc. also note that it installed fine. I figured that the cookie problem could be a side effect of the firt problem I mentioned. ahh yes my config file is here for anyone who is intrested Any clue's..??

Unset PerlAuthenHandler (I wish)
Ok, essentially I want all but one directory on the server to be password protected. I want 1 directory to have the "I forgot my password" functionality. I am using Mason. and setting SetHandler default-handler has undesired results. i.e. mason files do not get parsed. Essentially I want to do this. Unset PerlAuthenHandler here is a portion of my conf file. -- AddType text/html .mhtm FilesMatch ".*\.mhtm$" SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason /FilesMatch Location /websites/foo.net/htdocs/ AuthName "foo" AuthType Basic PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthDBI::authen PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthDBI::authz PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_data_source dbi:mysql:database=foo_external_site;host=localhost;port=3306 PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_username jsheffie PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_password fooo # DBI-connect($data_source, $username, $password) PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_pwd_table users PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_uid_field user_id PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_pwd_field password PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_grp_field groups #SELECT pwd_field FROM pwd_table WHERE uid_field=$user require valid-user ErrorDocument 401 /websites/foo.net/htdocs/passwd_forgoten/ /Location Location /websites/foo.net/htdocs/passwd_forgoten/ SetHandler default-handler /Location - Any ideas..??
