RE: Apache-read timed out
I was just wondering if this problem could be because of CGI.pm scripts , i am running some plain CGI scripts and mod perl scripts,in some of the scripts i have the traditional read function which reads from STDIN (perl 'read' function) .

In my case, in a front-end-proxy/back-end-mod_perl configuration it turned out to be having a lower timeout value for the back-end Apaches than for the front-end Apaches. I had set it this way to try and free up back-end servers (which are more valuable than front-end servers) more quickly in the event of a timeout. It didn't work out that way! :-) I now run 300 seconds on the front-ends and 400 on the back-ends, and Apache-read timeouts no longer cause problems. -- -- Tom Mornini -- InfoMania Printing and Prepress
RE: Apache-read timed out
How do i resolve this issue because this is happening after the server has been running for a while , i have tried increasing the timeout parameter value to more than 500 and still dosen't work ? sachin --- Tom Mornini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, 15 Feb 2001, Geoffrey Young wrote: I am getting "Apache-read timed out messages in my error_log,now i have been looking at this problem for a while now before posting it for help, whats happening is if i test my application from within the network , because the connection being very fast i am not having any problems , but when i try to do the same thing from the external network over a dial up line i get this error message in the error logs and the script gets killed I had this problem and it drove me completely nuts until I figured it out.

Re: Apache-read timed out?
sounds like somebody has already read the POST data before your code is
reached.

I'm running mod_perl 1.21, Apache 1.39 on Solaris 2.5.1.
I'm using the proxy example from pp. 374-381 of the "Writing Apache Modules"
book, and I've come up with a strange case in handling a POST request in the
following part of the code (explained on page 377). Here's my doctored
version of the code snippet:
# Copy POST data, if any
if ($r-method eq 'POST') {
$log-debug("Posting!");
my $len = $r-header_in('Content-length');
$log-debug("Got the content length for POSTing: $len");
my $buf;
$r-read($buf,$len);
$log-debug("Read the content for POSTing into a buffer");
$request-content($buf);
$log-debug("Copied POSTed data into the LWP request");
}
Turns out that this code hangs (just for this particular POST) at the
$r-read($buf,$len) for a few minutes, then I get the
"Apache-read timed out" message in the Apache error log.
Any ideas in what I could look for in the URI or the headers that might give
me a clue on why this is happening or how I could debug this? Since the
Content-length is greater than 0, I can't imagine why this would time out!
I'm sure this is a special case, since most POSTs work just fine with this
code.
