SOAP::Lite in mod_perl...

2003-08-29 Thread simran 
Hi All, 

I'm having a weird problem using SOAP::Lite in one of my mod_perl
modules. 

A snippet of my code is: 


sub _dispatch {
  my $self   = shift;
  my $proxy  = http://our.stats.server.com.au/soap/script.cgi;;

  my $soap   = SOAP::Lite-uri('NetChantStats')-proxy($proxy)-on_debug(sub{warn @_});

  ### 
  my $result = $soap-getDetails(chris); 
  ### 

  if (! $result-fault) {
 my $result_str = $result-result();
 my $result_ref = eval $result_str;

 #
 #
 #
 if (! ref($result_ref)) { return $self-setError(Dispatch Error: $result_str); }
 else{ return $result_ref; }
  }
  else {
my $error = join (', ', $result-faultcode, $result-faultstring);
return $self-setError($error);
  }
}


The above code works perfectly on:

  * On dev server in a standalone script
  * On our dev server under: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6c 
DAV/1.0.3 mod_perl/1.27
  * Our live server as a standalong script

The code does not work on our live server under:

  * Live Server: Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.15 OpenSSL/0.9.6c DAV/1.0.3 
mod_perl/1.28


===

The code is acting weird on the live server on the line (only under mod_perl):

my $result = $soap-getDetails(chris);

If i return just before the above line, the return happens and i get a document
produced, but the line above just seems to make the server disappear. 

What i mean by disappear is that there is nothing in the access log however, the 
error log
does contain the debugging information from the SOAP::Lite module (as i have the 
on_debug method
printing stuff). 

The server definitely does not die and produce a 500 server error, it literally just
disappears, almost as if a kill -9 was given to the relevant httpd thread as there is 
nothing at all written to the access log...!!!



Has anyone come across a situation like the above? Any hints on how i can debug the 
above would also
be greatly appreciated... 

thanks,

simran.

It could be the same change in apache 1.3.28 that is causing problems 
for Bricolage.  See this bug report:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22805

To verify it, you can build a copy of your dev server that is identical 
except for using apache 1.3.28 and see if that fails as well.  If you're 
feeling ambitious, you can try the patch attached to that bug report.

Thanks Perrin. 

I'll try a recompile with Apache 1.27 as suggested... not brave enough
to eventually put a patched 1.28 on our live server yet :-)

Hi Perrin, 

I just recompiled everything with 1.27 (and relevant mod_ssl module) and
everything is working wonderfully again. 


thankyou again every so much for your help, i had been struggling with 
it for days...

Beg your pardon, Ged? What this has to do with Philippe?

Perrin has already replied that it's a bug in Apache 1.3.28:

Wasn't he organising the release of mod_perl 1.28?

If people are moving to a 1.3.28/1.28 combination, I would expect his
mailbox to start filling up...

He was a release manager, not a person to blame, even if there was a problem 
with 1.28, which is certainly not the case.

That shouldn't be the case, really. One of us wears the release manager hat 
once in awhile, but we all stand behind each release. All the bugs are to be 
reported here, and not to the person who has happened to put it on CPAN.

We are slowly working on fixing CPAN to support role accounts, where several 
people can maintain the same package, taking turns on doing releases. And no 
matter who releases it, all the bug reports will go to one specified place, 
not the last release manager's mail box.

For mod_perl specifically we want to have a CPAN-id modperl where all the 
packages maintained by the development team will go. That CPAN-id will have an 
email address of this list, which will protect the last release manager from 
misdirected email. The packages will also be put into that CPAN-id's homedir 
on CPAN, and not release manager's one.

On an unrelated note SOAP::Lite developement seems to have gone quite to me
anyway.
