Thanks Doug, the first option works like a charm :) And I'm far too scared already what with all this finding out about XS and all to apply the second one immediately, but I definitely will once I get a better grasp of these things.

Accessing server config during parent startup
Hi, I'm having trouble trying to access server config directives during parent startup. Basically, I've got a module which needs to access a configuration directive in order to compile some non-Perl files to Perl while the server starts and before children are created so that the code they generate will stay shared. The directive I need access to is defined by AxKit, so I can play with the source code that defines it to make it available to Perl at that time. In order to access the configuration, I'm using (in a nutshell): cfg = (axkit_dir_config *) ap_get_module_config(s-module_config, XS_AxKit); where s is an Apache::Server object mapped to T_PTROBJ in the typemap. The code is working and now returns a cfg that exists but hasn't been initialised, ie it is as if no directives had been read at all (or so it seems). However, it is clear that the code is called after the directives have been read. This may all be due to a problem in my code, but before I go on and go insane, I wondered if using the server object thus has any chance of working, and if there is a description of the right way to do this somewhere. Thanks ! -- ___ Robin Berjon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com --- Oops. My Brain just hit a bad sector.

Yes, that much I know (there's a lot more to it, but I tried to boil it down to a simple description in order to make it palatable). Having a request object at server startup is not possible, or would be a hack which I'd rather avoid. I added a server config creator which is an exact copy of the per-directory config creator to the module struct, except that it takes a server_rec as its second arg instead of a string. Perhaps I need to do something with that server_rec (eg set the module config on it instead of simply returning it), but I wasn't able to find anything helpful in the Apache docs (I might have missed though, pointers welcome). interesting to see what Matt says, though... Matt probably won't be back for a while, which is why I'm posting here instead of pestering him directly on #axkit ;-) -- ___ Robin Berjon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com --- The only sensible way to estimate the stability of a Windows server is to power it down and try it out as a step ladder. -- Robert Crawford, in the Monastery

It would seem (if I understand correctly) that my cfg is only finally initialized after the server merge and dir merge have been called, but that unfortunately Perl sections are called before that... Can anyone confirm this ? And if it is the case, is there a way I can work around that problem, eg by defining some handler code to be called after merging but before children are created ?
