RE: Apache::Session Question
Apache::Session uses a cookie to identify a user. Every request will be switched to one of the nodes in your cluster. That node will fetch the session data corresponding to that cookie and work with it. Mind you, Apache::Session is a great piece of software, but in balanced envs you may need to balance your session data over multiple database. Then you need some logic to make requests sticky. Hope this helps, Renzo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: donderdag 30 november 2000 16:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Apache::Session Question I have read all the documentation I can find, but have not found a clear answer about Apache::Session sharing information across load balanced machines? My assumption is that if I am using a database (Oracle), that the information will be available across the load balanced machines. But when I look at the schema for the database, I no longer get the feeling that it is? Can anyone confirm this for me please? -- C Wayne Huling [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think you want to be careful with terminoloy. Apache::Session does not use a BROWSER level cookie. I think you are using the word cookie to mean session id/handle. But it's may be a bit confusing to read your message because the word cookie is so overloaded to mean browser cookie. switched to one of the nodes in your cluster.

We implemented system on Linux (intel) and tried to port it to Solaris, but session doesn't work - can not create session files. Store manager used is FileStore and SysV locker. Could that be a reason for problems? If so what kind of store and locker should be used on sparc Solaris? After the use Apache::Session you maybe have to type something like this. $Apache::Session::SysVSemaphoreLocker::nsems=16; This has been talked here before, so maybe if this doesn't work you can find hints anywhere in the list archives. -- - frankie -

Can someone confirm this? I had some problems with Apache::Session, tried the above fix, and it seemed to work, but I haven't used Apache::Session since, so I can't be sure. If it IS necessary, it should probably be added to the guide and / or comments in the Apache::Session .pm that controls this (can't remember the filename offhand, but it had a comment referring to Solaris + nsems=16 or 8).
