My Apache directive to enable the filter is

The directive is correct, but you don't show your code and your config, so I
have no idea if the rest is correct or not. This directive is used to
configure both, connection and request level filters. It's the attribute of
the handler subroutine is what makes the difference and the placement in
httpd.conf.
You need to declare it as:
package iPAQApache::ResetBrowser;
use base qw(Apache::Filter);
sub handler : FilterConnectionHandler { your code is here }
1;
and you need to put it outside of Location or similar block in httpd.conf
just like shown at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html#Connection_Input_Filters
Also make sure that you run at least mod_perl 1.99_09, or even better the
current cvs. And in the future please follow the info at
http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ so we know more about your setup.

So it did work this time, right? Perhaps we should issue a warning if a
connection filter is found insider Location or alike.

which seems to be related to the safemalloc() call on line
44 of src/modules/perl/mod_perl.c. (by the way, I had to
comment out the fprintf() call at line 66 to get it to
compile, otherwise an error about my_perl being undeclared
was found).
I still haven't found out what the problem with the server crashing on
startup is, but the attached patch against CVS seems to fix the
fprintf() problem that you refer to.
I've no idea how advisable what I've done is, but without it I get:

Re: [MP2] Strange slow MySQL queries
Hi, This looks more like a MySQL problem than a specific MP2 issue. However here are a couple of pointers. All the queries below are updates on the same table this would indicate to me you may be having a locking issue. What you need to do is locate the locking transaction it may be as simple as :- select * from innodb_tbl for update; This locks the whole table and would block all of the quiries highlighted. Hope it helps Paddy P.S. Please feel free to contact me off list if you wish to go into more depth. Are you using Apache::DBI or transactions?

Re: [mp2] executing subprocesses from mod_perl
Haroon Rafique wrote:
Hi listers,
Just needed a quick opinion:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/SubProcess.html
suggests that Apache::SubProcess be used for executing subprocesses.
Howerver, in an earlier list message,
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperlm=102541721726752w=2
Stas had suggested that either IPC::Run or Apache::SubProcess could be
used.
I have 2 versions of a mod_perl script using either of the modules. Which
one would be preferred and why?
Some reasons come to mind right away, e.g.,
* IPC::Run may be more mature (version 0.75), so use it.
Don't forget that Apache::SubProcess is just a glue for the C library, which
is quite mature as well. This C library works on all platforms Apache works.
I'm not sure about IPC::Run. Spawning processes on different OSes is quite
different.
* IPC::Run is a separate install, so don't use it.
* Apache::SubProcess is distributed with mod_perl, so use it.
etc...
IPC::Run should be used instead of IPC::Open3, since the latter doesn't work
under mod_perl. You probably should be able to use any of the two (IPC::Run or
Apache::SubProcess). You could try to benchmark to see which one is faster.
Apache::SubProcess is written in C.
Apache::SubProcess has extra features (see appendix B in the practical
mod_perl book and should also be in the guide, but not all were ported yet).
e.g. in mod_perl 1's Apache::SubProcess, you can send the output of system()
to the client:
use Apache::SubProcess qw(system);
my $r = shift;
$r-send_http_header('text/plain');
system /bin/echo hi there;
but this wasn't ported yet.
in 2.0 you can set subprocess env:
$r-subprocess_env-set(SubProcess = $value);
my $out_fh = Apache::SubProcess::spawn_proc_prog($r, $perl, [$script]);
my $output = read_data($out_fh);
Also you may want to use Apache::SubProcess to stress it out and see if there
is something that we need to fix, if it's not used we might not be aware of
existings bugs that the tests don't catch. You can always switch to IPC::Run
if you encounter some problems.

It's in the STATUS file. Under 'Platforms on which mod_perl won't build/load'. I will add an entry on osx as soon as somebody tells me the exact details, besides requiring -Dusethreads.

Re: [mp2] Child process exited
Steve, I found that almost whatever I removed from the template -- not just the nobr tag -- fixed it, and I began to wonder about the *size* of the template. That's what I was wondering too when I reported that just adding 3 line breaks somewhere in the file broke it, and removing them fixed it. I would never have thought that such a small template would break based on size, though, since I have much larger templates in production using normal CGI, which work fine. (the largest template is ~20k and the average is ~6k). Again, I'll have to remind myself to never assume... I kept on telling myself, Nah, it can't be the size of the template file Thanks a lot for your troubleshooting, Steve. So a temporary fix would appear to be to not use the INTERPOLATE option if you can manage without it. Good call, that's what I'll do for now. Most of my templates don't need it. I'll start with that. I might have to leave it to Randy for a fuller explanation of where the 612 bytes limit is creeping in. Looking forward to that.

Not sure how to get a stack backtrace on Windows. I don't even get the

However, I have massively simplified the test program that reproduces

I've moved the template itself in-core rather than processing an

about the *size* of the template.
So then I replaced the HTML page content with loads of dots, and sure
enough, the problem goes away if you reduce the number of dots
sufficiently. It seems that the program breaks if the template size is
612 bytes, and works if it is = 612 bytes! (Try changing $size from
613 to 612 in getTemplate() to fix it!)
Template-Toolkit's Template::Manual::Config manpage says that Perl will
segfault using the INTERPOLATE option with templates 32 kB due to
limitations in Perl's regex engine, and sure enough another way to fix
the attached program is to change INTERPOLATE = 1 to INTERPOLATE = 0.
I don't know where the 612 byte limit comes from, but it's certainly not
Perl itself that has such a small limit -- the program runs fine in CGI
and mod_perl 1 environments with $size set way higher than 32 kB on my
machine.
So a temporary fix would appear to be to not use the INTERPOLATE option
if you can manage without it.
I might have to leave it to Randy for a fuller explanation of where the
612 bytes limit is creeping in.

Good, just a sanity check. it sounds silly that changing an html will break
the server, but anything could happen. Is it possible that the broken(?) html
makes IE do silly things, that cause the server crash in the afteraction? e.g.
I'd check the access_log to see whether it issues only one request or more.
Also make sure to debug in the single process (thread?) mode (httpd -X)

I'm not a win32 person, so I'm not quite sure how you debug things there. But
what you need to do is to get the server dump the core file, which will tell
us where exactly it crushes.

Thanks for the hint. I just modified my httpd.conf to include the

(actually I don't get any warning message) Is there a reason for this?
It's possible that some of your code or the modules that you use either misuse
$^W or trap $SIG{__WARN__} which prevents from warnings to be printed. grep
for these two things.
whenever you override $^W, this must be done with:
local $^W = $whatever;
so it won't affect other code. same with $SIG{__WARN__} if possible.
I'd suggest that you first get these warnings working and reported, then you
fix your code to avoid these warnings (with the non-crashing version of the
template), then move to solve the original problem.

OK, I've now got Apache 2 building (with a little off-list help from

I don't any Application Error popup window, but my NS7.1 browser says
The document contained no data, while IE6.0 gives the usual useless
The page cannot be displayed crap that it always does.
I also get nothing in the access.log.
The error.log contained this:

The variable will not stay shared error is a common problem with
mod_perl scripts that have file-scope lexical variables in them which
subroutines access. My usual solution is to put the main part of the
program into a block labelled MAIN:. That way they can't be shared
to start with, and I have to explicitly pass them into any subroutines
that require them. The attached new version of your index.cgi does
this, and makes these errors go away. I now have just this in the
error.log:
[Thu Aug 14 10:41:42 2003] [notice] Parent: child process exited with

The index.cgi program runs fine in a command prompt (with SCRIPT_ROOT

Re: [mp2] Child process exited
Stas,
Thanks for the quick response.
You did load things in startup.pl, remember? some module could
override
$SIG{__WARN__}. Don't load those modules if you don't need them.
I very much doubt anything in my startup.pl would modify the signal
handlers. Here's my startup.pl, for reference:
use strict;
use warnings;
#---
# Default module inclusions as per the Apache
# mod_perl installation instructions
use Apache2 ();
use ModPerl::Util ();

use Apache::Connection ();

# General modules
use Time::localtime;
use Data::Dumper;
use Date::Calc qw(:all);
# Add the top-level directory for the modules into the module search
path.
use lib qw($ENV{SCRIPT_ROOT});
# Hybride:: modules commented out for now, until I resolve the crash
issue...
You could also try to reset it in your code:
Even with the BEGIN { ... code before anything else in my source, I
still get no warnings.
So if on your side there are warnings and not on my side, with the
same
code, then that's a problem too...
Yes, especially since you have a scoped warnings enabled explicitly in
your
file. Does you perl print this warnings when you run a test script
from the
above URL?
No. I just tried it. It does show the erroneous response (5^2 = 25 6^2 =
25) but no warnings. I also tried with the code to restore
SIG{__WARN__}, and it didn't change anything.
Apache::Reload didn't seem to want to reload my modules.
because it probably couldn't find them.
I had followed the instructions you stated before, and you can even see
my use libs in the startup.pl I included above. Let's say
$ENV{SCRIPT_ROOT} (as set in my httpd.conf with a PerlSetEnv) is set to
d:/htdocs, that means that a module being use()d as Hybride::Blah
would be found at d:/htdocs/Hybride/Blah.pm right? So Apache::Reload
should find it at the same place, since the use libs is in the startup
script.
But Apache::Reload still does not reload my modules... And as I said,
ReloadDebug On didn't even tell me if it was trying to reload them.
Nothing in my error_log, same as with the warnings.
So that's a bit weird.
Thanks,

Re: [mp2] Child process exited
I've actually pinpointed the problem to one HTML tag in the output that Template-Toolkit sends to Apache as a result of the cgi script's run. Actually, I've just found out another thing, which is really weird. If I just change the amount of whitespace in the template file (see the zip file linked in my last post), I can make Apache crash or not. Open up the template file, remove the nobr and /nobr tags, and refresh the browser. It should display the page with the header. Go back to the template file, place the cursor right after the /title tag (on the same line), and press enter 3 times. There should be 3 blank lines between the title tags and the /head tag. Refresh the browser. In my case, it crashes. Also, 1 or 2 empty lines doesn't crash, but 3 or more does. I'm beginning to think there must be something very wrong with my own code. I'm almost sure it isn't something with Apache or TT. I must just not be seeing it.

I'll check those out this afternoon.

than Template, strict and warnings which are use()d in index.cgi) and no
other code than the index.cgi I sent you.
So if on your side there are warnings and not on my side, with the same
code, then that's a problem too...
Now that I think of it, when I started testing mod_perl (back when my
code was not correct and I was fixing errors to make it work), I
remember that Apache::Reload didn't seem to want to reload my modules.
Even with the ReloadDebug variable on, nothing was ever printed to my
error_log saying that my modules were reloaded... So the warnings issue
could be related to this too.
This is my mod_perl section in httpd.conf, is there anything wrong with
it that would make these two things (PerlSwitches -wT and PerlModule
Apache::Reload) not work?

Re: [mp2] Child process exited
Stas, I just checked, and when the Apache crash occurs, nothing gets written to access_log. It would seem that the crash happens before the request is logged. Also, b) why my warnings don't show up in the error_log. I just moved my mod_perl config from httpd.conf to another file, mod_perl.conf, and Include that in httpd.conf. (I did that so that I don't have to comment the whole section for mod_perl when I want to deactivate it, I just have to comment the Include line). Now, magically, the warnings and the Apache::Reload debug messages show up in my error_log! The only other thing I changed between now and before is that I added the PerlSwitches -Id:/htdocs directive. But that should have no influence on whether warnings are written to the error_log or not... What's happening? Is my whole Apache setup whacked? Maybe I should reinstall Apache and mod_perl? J-S

You could also try to reset it in your code:
perl -wle '$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {}; $SIG{__WARN__} = sub {CORE::warn(@_)};

but you need to do that in the BEGIN block, so it'll happen before the
compilation of the rest of the code is done:
BEGIN {
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {CORE::warn(@_)};
}

In any case your problem with variables not staying shared (even though you
can't see it reported is easy to see).
http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/perl_reference/perl_reference.html#my___Scoped_Variable_in_Nested_Subroutines
You also don't want to initialize $template on every request, see the Template

my() problem).
make $vars and $config global as one of the workarounds.

Yes, especially since you have a scoped warnings enabled explicitly in your
file. Does you perl print this warnings when you run a test script from the
above URL?
Now that I think of it, when I started testing mod_perl (back when my
code was not correct and I was fixing errors to make it work), I
remember that Apache::Reload didn't seem to want to reload my modules.
Even with the ReloadDebug variable on, nothing was ever printed to my
error_log saying that my modules were reloaded... So the warnings issue
could be related to this too.
because it probably couldn't find them. See:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Reload.html#Description
or even this:

Re: [mp2] Child process exited
I can't help you with those things without being able to reproduce the problem :(
but see below regarding the reload confusion.

# Add the top-level directory for the modules into the module search

Apache::Reload didn't seem to want to reload my modules.
because it probably couldn't find them.
I had followed the instructions you stated before, and you can even see
my use libs in the startup.pl I included above. Let's say
$ENV{SCRIPT_ROOT} (as set in my httpd.conf with a PerlSetEnv) is set to
d:/htdocs, that means that a module being use()d as Hybride::Blah
would be found at d:/htdocs/Hybride/Blah.pm right? So Apache::Reload
should find it at the same place, since the use libs is in the startup
script.
But Apache::Reload still does not reload my modules... And as I said,
ReloadDebug On didn't even tell me if it was trying to reload them.
Nothing in my error_log, same as with the warnings.
No, that won't work, unless you set SCRIPT_ROOT env var in your shell.
PerlSetEnv has an effect only during a request time. You want it during the
startup time.
You can dump the value of @INC, so see that d:/htdocs is not there (at the
server startup).
One of the following will work.
PerlSwitches -Id:/htdocs
or
PerlSwitches -Mlib=d:/htdocs

Re: [mp2] Child process exited
So, has anyone checked out my test case? Any results (good or bad)? As I said in my last post, I'm getting this for differing amounts of whitespace in my template files, so it isn't just one tag to be removed everywhere. I have something like 30 template files, most of them much more complex than the one in the test case, so it would take a real long time to go through each one, trying to get them to work by trial and error. So I can't really do anything until I know what causes this and how to work around it. Looking forward to getting this working...

Re: [mp2] Child process exited
25k zip? that's a not quite a short test case ;) Can it possibly be 25 lines of code instead? You're absolutely right, I've pared it down a lot while waiting for your answer. I was trying to get my test case to you as fast as possible, that's why I didn't spend that much time on it before. It's still not quite 25 lines, but it's much shorter. I've actually pinpointed the problem to one HTML tag in the output that Template-Toolkit sends to Apache as a result of the cgi script's run. But I still prefer giving you (or whomever will try this) the code so they can see for themselves. It's about 3k now... :-) Most likely someone on win32 will have to try it. If you can put it online somewhere and post the URL to it, that will be the best. OK, it's at http://whitestar02.webhop.org/Files/ApacheCrash.zip . Please go easy on the server, it's on a residential cable line... Inside, you'll find a simple CGI script (50 lines), one template file (26 lines) and a README (123 lines). Considering the readme file is the biggest of the bunch, and that you can determine if the server crashes or not by removing 4 tags in the template file, I think it's pretty stripped down. Please read the README before trying to run it. In it, you'll find details on my config and a short discussion of what happens in the various cases I tried. Note that since I found the tags that cause the problem, I can continue to work without them, but I'd still like to know why it crashes on a script that ran perfectly in straight CGI.

Re: [mp2] BEGIN blocks

I tried making a test module to see what was going on inside, which appeared
to function correctly. However, the real module is still having troubles.
The database handle is opened ($dbh=DBI-connect...) in a BEGIN block in the

originally loads, until I make a change in the file and Apache::Reload
reloads it (after which it works fine as long as the server's alive).

This is not documented yet for 2.0. I think it should be similar to 1.0.
BEGIN

Re: [MP2] Placing Apache::RequestRec Apache::RequestIO APR::Tableuse statements in startup.pl
It will work. Just be careful - if you distribute this module, the people who use it may not include these modules in their startup.pl, and if you discontinue usage of this module, you may end up with extra modules in memory which aren't needed.

I like to put use() statements for all required modules in each module that needs them. It's good documentation. When you tune your system for performance, you will put all of these in startup.pl to improve shared memory, but there's no need to take them out of the other modules: use() staments for modules that have already been loaded simply skip the require() part and run the import(). - Perrin

I got the redirection to work. However I don't think its working as it

You are right, one returns OK if using parsed headers, as in this example:

my $r = shift;
my $location = $r-args;
print Location: $location\n\n;
Apache::OK;
}

$r-headers_out returns a tied hash reference, so ones needs to load
APR::Table in order to work with this reference. Doc patches are very welcome.

I've just committed the examples, hopefully they will appear online soon. I'd consider having 2 guides written - a porting guide - yours is nice, but more as reference than as tutorial - and the second for newbies (Starting with mor_perl 2)...

Let's see what you come up with and we can decides whether it fits or not. The idea is to avoid forks and have people collaborate on the single best source of documentation, rather than private projects. Private projects could be good, but given the complexity of mod_perl, having a good single source of documentation is a great boon for its acceptance. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

This may be naive, but might it not flush the output buffer at the 4th line (local $| = 1;)? ...or does the flush only happen when print is called. Having to call print seems cumbersome to do a flush, but maybe that's just the way Perl works? One thing that could help is if someone could take the time to write a test for this bug. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to reproduce the problem, so I can't debug the problem. It could be a bug on the mod_deflate's behalf as well. Philippe, were you able to reproduce the problem with Bill's setup? I was writing a test, but couldn't get it to fail... may be because i was using 2.0.47. Bill, do you have the problem with the latest apache version? Did you see my note in the original post about this working fine under mod_cgi, but causing the 20014:Error only under mod_perl? This seemed to point the finger squarely at mod_perl. I could upgrade to 2.0.47, but it seems unlikely that it would fix this. Are you sure you're running a mod_perl without Philippe's fix (in Apache__RequestIO.h), I assumed he eventually checked it in. Also Bill, why do you have this setup: Location /perl AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/* SetOutputFilter DEFLATE /Location why adding it twice? You need only the latter inside Location, or alternatively only the former outside Location if you want it to be set globally: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#addoutputfilterbytype Ah, I misunderstood the mod_deflate docs. I think at the time, it didn't seem to work with just one of them in-place, so I added the other. *SHRUG* I can't say I'm a pro at Apache config files, I just tinker until it works. I assume this is irrelevant to the bug, though. -bill
