Apache::DBI debugging (was: Re: Modifying @INC via startup.pl)

I am also using the $Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 2; flag to ensure it is working 
properly.

I am NOT seeing the entries in the error_log both when Apache::DBI 
initializes a connection and when it returns one from its cache.

Shouldn't I be able to see a reference to the connection in my error_log 
file?

I checked both my virtual host error_log file and the server error_log 
file. Nothing in either.

When/Where are you setting this flag? I don't have much experience with 
Apache::DBI, so I won't be able to help you much.

You could also try
 DBI-trace(1); #or any other level mentioned in the DBI docs.

Thanks Drew, but please hold off on any comments, since we are still 
tuning the design to work better in various browsers. Once we are 
satisfied with it, we will make an announcement and then ask you to

Re: Modifying @INC via startup.pl

2002-05-19 Thread Gregory Matthews

If I run apachectl configtest, I can see the below statement, Loading 
startup.pl..., so it appears that it is at least reading it (which I knew 
before), but for some reason, @INC does not show an updated path per my 
call, use lib qw(...); .

In addition, I am using the Apache::DBI module with the 
Apache::DBI-connect_on_init option, and even though I put in bogus 
database info, Apache starts fine with no errors?

Any ideas on what is going on?

Wow, now this is weird. Could you try something as simple as

file:startup.pl

use lib qw(/path/to/foo);
print STDERR Loading startup.pl;
1;

And then load that with PerlRequire?

Came to think of it: could you try without Apache::DB? Maybe that's the 
source of your problems.

Finally, as a quick fix to your original problem: maybe you can use PERL5LIB:

PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /path

in your httpd.conf.

This is all I can come up with, sorry.

Re: Modifying @INC via startup.pl

2002-05-19 Thread Gregory Matthews

Tom:

No, same error_log as usual.  I think this problem may have something to do 
with my host. I am on a virtual private server, not dedicated, although, 
I do have root access.

The way they configure the servers load in a portion of the mod_perl 
directives before my Location block, i.e., my vhosts.conf call looks like this:

# mod_perl setup
Alias /perl /usr/local/www/vhosts/host.com/perl
PerlSetEnv PERLDB_OPTS NonStop=1 LineInfo=/tmp/db.out AutoTrace=1 frame=2
PerlModule Apache::DB
PerlWarn On
PerlTaintCheck On
Location /perl
   PerlFixupHandler  Apache::DB
   SetHandler   perl-script
   PerlHandler   Apache::Registry
   OptionsExecCGI
   allow from all
   PerlSendHeaderOff
/Location
# end mod_perl setup

Notice that I do NOT need to call PerlModule Apache::Registry.  It is 
already loaded.

I may give up on the startup.pl file and simply add a Perl.../Perl 
section directly. Will this solve the problem?

Fixed it.  I needed to add a 1; to the end of my startup.pl file. I was

Then in doing some research, found out that it needed it.  Now the @INC is

Re: Modifying @INC via startup.pl

2002-05-19 Thread Gregory Matthews

Tom:

Here is one of them. I think that I saw it elsewhere also.  When I come 
across the other pages, I will advise.

http://perl.apache.org/preview/modperl-site-ok/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#MinSpareServers_MaxSpareServers_StartServers_MaxClients_MaxRequestsPerChild

Thanks again Tom!

Also, here is another question:  I am putting the following in my startup 
file to initialize a db connection:

# Initialize the database connections for each child
Apache::DBI-connect_on_init
(DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost, user,password,
{ PrintError = 1, # warn() on errors
RaiseError = 0, # don't die on error
AutoCommit = 1, # commit executes immediately }

I am also using the $Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 2; flag to ensure it is working 
properly.

I am NOT seeing the entries in the error_log both when Apache::DBI 
initializes a connection and when it returns one from its cache.

Shouldn't I be able to see a reference to the connection in my error_log file?

I checked both my virtual host error_log file and the server error_log 
file. Nothing in either.
