Flaky behavior with modperl module

2002-08-27 Thread The Surprises

Greetings,

I am writing a modperl module to create dynamic picture web pages
created from .jpg files in a given directory.  It basically puts a bunch
of pictures on the screen.  I am seeing inconsistent behavior and I
don't know where to look for a solution.  When I load the page, random
pictures don't get loaded.  They're just small boxes on the screen.
Reloading the page will give me another set of random missing pictures.
The server is behind a cable modem and it has a max upload bandwidth of
256kb, so it's kinda slow.  Am I seeing some sort of timeout or
flakiness with my cable modem bandwidth?

Thanks for any help
Jason

As you don't give a lot of information about your configuration, this is 
just a wild guess, but I suppose that your image files get corrupted 
somehow, maybe because the directory they reside in is configured to be 
served through CGI or Apache::Registry.

Can you fetch the images with a direct URL? Are you sure the URLs are even 
correct? Have you checked your error log?

When you View Source in your browser, are the img url's in the broken images
correct? Do you get any errors in your error log? anything strange in your
access log?

View source shows a valid source.  It appears to be a timeout issue
because sometimes all pictures show up perfectly fine.  If the network
is slow, I get the picture dropouts.
