Re: recommendation
Sorry for not being too clear. I want to use Apache and mod_perl under Fedora Core 2 or 3. And I plan to install Apache from sources, perl from sources, and maybe mod_perl from sources also (or using CPAN). And I don't know what way is the best... to install perl multithreaded or not. I plan to use it with TemplateToolkit, Image Magick, GD, CGI::Session, CGI, DBI, DBD::mysql, LWP. I don't want to choose a way that will not allow me to use certain perl modules or applications, or use them with bad results... I am not a Linux specialist, so I know only Linux basics like compiling the programs I told you above, configuring the web server (but not very advanced). Thank you very much.

I am not compiling Apache, perl and mod_perl under Windows but I use the prebuild packages. I have installed mod_perl using ppm, but Apache::DBI was not installed with it. I can compile Apache::DBI separately if it is necessary, but I have only Visual Studio .Net 2003 and I don't think it will work correctly because Apache and Perl were compiled with Visual Studio 6. I need mod_perl under Windows just for testing, so it doesn't need to work very fast. Can I use just the DBI module with mod_perl without using Apache::DBI? Under Windows it would be OK for a while. Thank you. Teddy

I'd suggest using FC3 or CentOS 4 (the RHEL clone) and using the perl that comes with the distro and building your own apache 1.3 and mod_perl from source -- ie NOT compiling perl from source. I wrote some notes on doing this for MKDoc the other day, the only differnt thing from what you intend is that I also compiled in mod_gzip: http://www.mkdoc.org/docs/howto/apache/ > I plan to use it with TemplateToolkit, Image Magick, GD, CGI::Session, CGI, > DBI, DBD::mysql, LWP. A lot of these are already build for perl on Fedora / Red Hat and also more perl things are built by 3rd parties, for example see the packages starting perl- here: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/ I think all the modules you want are available as RPMS, just install DAGs apt or yum and install them :-) Chris -- Chris Croome <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> web design http://www.webarchitects.co.uk/ web content management http://mkdoc.com/

Re: Apache-DBI
From what I understand, Apache::DBI provides certain performance benefits over DBI in much the same manner that mod_perl does over standalone Perl, but isn't required to use DBI in a mod_perl environment. Essentially it makes your database connections persistent. So when you establish a connection at the start of a particular mod_perl script it intercepts the request and returns a pre-connected DB handle. Similarly it intercepts the disconnect request at the end of the script and leaves the connection to the DB open ready for next time it's needed. For DB's that are slow when establishing connections it can make a considerable speed difference. Carl

Hi I just installed a new server and started trying to port my old scripts to it when i noticed things have changed and I am a bit unsure of a few things. 1) rpm says that mod_perl 1.99 is installed but the httpd error_log does mention mod_perl on restarts: Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) configure - resuming normal operations 2) Given the above, and the fact I have Apache::Const, Apache::RequestRec..etc instead of Apache::Request and family installed, am I now using mod_perl 2? 3) configtest used to throw up perl errors but will now happily report syntax ok even when i put some glaring typos in my scripts - is that normal? Or is there something missing in my httpd.conf that I need to add to get the scripts checked at apache restarts. At a guess I would say I am using mod_perl 2 and I need to put something into the httpd to get 1 and 3 to work correctly but I don't know what. Can anyone advice me? Thanx. Dp.

Well you could try contacting the person / team responsible for the perl RPM that is outdated and asking them if they can build a new version... Or you could roll your own RPM, for most modules this is fairly easy using cpanflute2 which is part of the perl-RPM-Specfile package.

Web Content Compression FAQ - update
Updated POD version is attached regarding the Stas' suggestion of better formatting. Any other questions and/or suggestions are very welcome. Thanks, Slava =head1 NAME Web Content Compression FAQ =head1 Description Everything you wanted to know about web content compression =head1 Basics of Content Compression Compression of outbound Web server traffic provides benefits both for Web clients who see shorter response times, as well as for content providers, who experience lower consumption of bandwidth. Most recently, content compression for web servers has been provided mainly through use of the C encoding. Other (non perl) modules are available that provide so-called C compression. Both approaches are very similar recently and use the LZ77 algorithm combined with Huffman coding. Luckily for us, to make use of them, there is no real need for most of us to understand all the details of the obscure underlying mathematics of these techniques. Apache handlers available from CPAN can usually do the dirty work. Apache addresses content compression through handlers configured in its configuration file. Compression is, by its nature, a content filter: It always takes its input as plain ASCII data that it converts to another C form, and outputs the result to some destination. That is why every content compression handler usually belongs to a particular chain of handlers within the content generation phase of the request-processing flow. A C is one more common term that is good to know about when you plan to compress data. There are two of them recently developed for Apache 1.3: C and C. We have to keep in mind that the compression handler developed for one chain usually fails inside another. Another important point deals with the order of execution of handlers in a particular chain. It's pretty straightforward in C. For example, when you configure... PerlModule Apache::Filter SetHandler perl-script PerlSetVar Filter On PerlHandler Filter1 Filter2 Filter3 ...the content will go through C first, then the result will be filtered by C, and finally C will be invoked to make the final changes in outbound data. However, when you configure C like... PerlModule Apache::OutputChain PerlModule Apache::GzipChain PerlModule Apache::SSIChain PerlModule Apache::PassHtml SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::OutputChain Apache::GzipChain Apache::SSIChain Apache::PassHtml ...execution begins with C. Then the content will be processed with C and finally with C. C will not be involved in content processing at all. It is there only for the purpose of joining other handlers within the chain. It is important to remember that the content compression handler should always be the last executable handler in any chain. Another important problem of practical implementation of web content compression deals with the fact that some buggy Web clients declare the ability to receive and decompress gzipped data in their HTTP requests, but fail to keep their promises when an actual compressed response arrives. This problem is addressed through the implementation of the C handler. This handler serves the C phase of the request-processing flow. It is compatible with all known compression handlers and is available from CPAN. =head1 Why it is important to compress Web content? =head2 Reduced equipment costs and the competitive advantage of dramatically faster page loads. Web content compression noticeably increases delivery speed to clients and may allow providers to serve higher content volumes without increasing hardware expenditures. It visibly reduces actual content download time, a benefit most apparent to users of dialup and high-traffic connections. Industry leaders like I and I are widely using content compression in their businesses. =head1 How much improvement can I expect? =head2 Effective compression can achieve increases in transmission efficiency from 3 to 20 times. The compression ratio is highly content-dependent. For example, if the compression algorithm is able to detect repeated patterns of characters, compression will be greater than if no such patterns exist. You can usually expect to realize an improvement between of 3 to 20 times on regular HTML, JavaScript, and other ASCII content. I have seen peak HTML file compression improvements in excess of more than 200 times, but such occurrences are infrequent. On the other hand I have never seen ratios of less than 2.5 times on text/HTML files. Image files normally employ their own compression techniques that reduce the advantage of further compression. =for html On May 21, 2002 Peter J. Cranstone wrote to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list: I<"...With 98% of the world on a dial up modem, all they care about is how long it takes to download a page.

mod_perl
Hi, I have read the following in mod_perl rc5 announce: move all Apache:: constants to Apache2::Const and all APR:: constants to APR::Const. for example, Apache:OK is now Apache2::Const::OK and APR::SUCCESS is now APR::Const::SUCCESS. [Geoffrey Young] Then, after installing mod_perl rc5 under Windows, I have seen that in: E:\usr\site\lib\ModPerl\RegistryCooker.pm at line 161, appears: return $rc unless $rc == Apache2::OK; Shouldn't this line be: return $rc unless $rc == Apache2::Const::OK; Does this module (ModPerl::RegistryCooker) need to be re-installed separately? Isn't it included with mod_perl rc5? Thanks. Teddy

Harald, shouldn't it be reversed (old<->new) like the one below? using
diff(3) is a match better way to send patches :)
lib/ModPerl/BuildMM.pm, line 258:
old: '$(NOECHO) $(POD2MAN) --section=3 ' .

I am using perl 5.6.1, Apache 2.0.54.
Am I missing something or did I do anything wrong?
The Pod::Man module v1.15 and pod2man 1.4, coming with stock perl-5.6.1 do
support --section option. What's your POD::Man and pod2man versions? Are
you sure it's a real 5.6.1? please post the output of 'perl -V'. Thanks.

POD2MAN_EXE = /usr/bin/pod2man --release mod_perl-2.0.0-RC5
if you look at the Makefile manually, POD2MAN_EXE is all you have, or is
there some line continuation? (though I see no \)
POD2MAN = $(PERL) -we '[EMAIL PROTECTED];for (keys %m){' \

that's why it gets things messed up.

Environment variable problem after upgrade
I am experiencing a problem with the REMOTE_USER environment variable after an upgrade to Apache 2. We are using AuthDBI to authenticate users, which uses basic authentication with the browser to request their details. Hence the use of REMOTE_USER. Users authenticate fine and seem to be working with no problems, but when there are multiple people using the system the REMOTE_USER environment variable gets set to seemingly random user names, and the users keep stepping on each other. The CGI module is being used and initially I thought the problem was there, as the username is retrieved ala "$USER = remote_user", however after looking at the CGI.pm code, all it does is return the value of the REMOTE_USER environment variable. Unfortunately it seems that the AuthDBI module has not been ported to the Apache2/mod_perl2 APIs, so we have to run it under the compatibility layer. Ech! Any known problems there? Looks to me like the environment variables aren't being reset correctly after each request, and they are sticking around with the Apache process. I tried logging "$r->user()" to see if that was more reliable, but no luck there either. It seems to be empty more than wrong, so I guess it is doing something different, but still no good. Maybe it is indicative of where the problem lies though. Thinking of anything else that might be useful in solving this problem: Apache MPM: prefork PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry Apache 2.0.46 mod_perl 1.99_09 Perl 5.8.0 OS Linux 2.4.21-20.0.1 smp Distribution RHELv3 This code has been running under mod_perl1 for a few years now, so the problems seem to be related to the software upgrade, rather than the usual problems related to bad scripts. Any help would be gladly appreciated as I have an application that is basically unusable at the moment. Please ask questions if you need more info. Thanks! Owen Berry

Thanks for the reply. I think I have figured out a way around my problem.
The .htaccess file for the directory in question was only protecting
GET, not POST. No idea why this was setup this way ... I only
inherited the code a few weeks ago. Anyway, apparently when setup this
way the REMOTE_USER environment variable is not populated on posts.
The code in question was doing this:
$USER = remote_user || param('USER') || show_error("Null remote username.");
That will work fine for a post if the REMOTE_USER var is not set, but
it seems that it was not being reset between requests and therefore
the form variable USER was not fulfilling it's intent. Maybe this (env
variables not being reset) is a bug that has been fixed since. Since
we are running an older version and cannot upgrade at short notice, I
just changed the .htaccess file to protect POSTs as well. This seems
like better code to me, anyway.
Thanks to anyone who looked at my question. My answer now exists for
documentational purposes.
As for running an older version of mod_perl and Apache these are
the joys of having a commercially supported OS. :-)

[mp2] Problems with $r->bytes_sent and $r->status in log handler
Hi,
I have a log handler that is supposed to log whether certain
HTTP-authenticated customers were able to completely download their digital
deliveries. The mod_perl 1.x version works just fine.
Now under SuSE Linux 9.2/Apache 2.0.53/mod_perl 2.0 RC4, $r->bytes_sent
seems to always contain the full size of the file resource, not the bytes
really sent to the client on an interrupted download. Unless it's a byte
range request, in which case it contains the full size of the range. Does
anybody know whether this is perhaps expected behaviour under Apache2, maybe
a result of its fancy filter architecture? Could it be a mod_perl bug, or
is mod_perl only a thin wrapper around the C structures in this case, and
therefore most likely innocent?
If I add mod_ssl to the mix, $r->status acts wonky, too. When it should be
200 (and $r->status_line contains the correct "200 OK"), it's the apparently
nonsensical 104. When it should be 206 for a byte range request (and
$r->status_line contains the correct "206 Partial Content"), it's 200. Other
people with the same user agent managed to produce other combinations,
though. Any ideas?
Somewhat simplified code (for mod_perl 2.0 RC4):
package MyClient::AuthLog2;
use strict;
use Apache::Const -compile => qw(OK);
use Apache::Util ();
use APR::Finfo ();
sub handler
{
my $r = shift();
my $user = $r->user;
if ($user) {
my $date = Apache::Util::ht_time(
$r->pool, $r->request_time, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M", 0);
my $remote = $r->connection->get_remote_host();
my $uri = $r->uri;
my $status = $r->status;
my $status_line = $r->status_line;
my $bytes_file = $r->finfo->size;
my $bytes_sent = $r->bytes_sent;
my $result = "";
if ($status == 200 && $bytes_sent == $bytes_file) {
$result = 'complete'
}
elsif ($status == 200 && $bytes_sent != $bytes_file) {
$result = 'incomplete'
}
elsif ($status == 206) {
$result = 'partial'
}
open LOG, ">>/var/log/apache2/auth_log" or warn "Can't open auth log";
print LOG "$date|$remote|$user|$uri|",
"$status|$status_line|$bytes_file|$bytes_sent|$result\n";
close LOG;
}
return Apache::OK;
}

It's not even a wrapper in mp2, it's just an accessor to the r->bytes_sent
record entry:
apr_off_t
bytes_sent(obj, val=0)
Apache2::RequestRec obj
apr_off_t val
PREINIT:
/*nada*/
CODE:
RETVAL = (apr_off_t) obj->bytes_sent;
if (items > 1) {
obj->bytes_sent = (apr_off_t) val;
}
OUTPUT:
RETVAL
So you should probably ask at httpd-dev, Markus.

Same here:
int
status(obj, val=0)
Apache2::RequestRec obj
int val
PREINIT:
/*nada*/
CODE:
RETVAL = (int) obj->status;
if (items > 1) {
obj->status = (int) val;
}
OUTPUT:
RETVAL

That's strange ... Did you get mod_perl from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ and does it have "RC5" in the version (of the ppd file)? I just checked the associated .tar.gz containing the files to be installed, and ModPerl::Registry* uses Apache2::Const::OK. -- best regards, randy

That's a standard mangling required by the Unix mbox format; new messages are signaled by a line beginning with "From ", so any lines that really do begin with "From " have to be escaped, usually by a > character. It's best to just try to pretend you don't notice. :) ScottG.

That's potentially true in general, but Apache-DBI is a pure Perl module, so it doesn't need a C compiler to build. If you want to play around with it, we have a ppm package of Apache-DBI at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ - you can install it, and then try patching the .pm files (either with a "patch" utility for Windows, or just manually). > I need mod_perl under Windows just for testing, so it > doesn't need to work very fast. Can I use just the DBI > module with mod_perl without using Apache::DBI? Under > Windows it would be OK for a while. Yes, DBI and mod_perl under Windows works fine. -- best regards, randy
[ANNOUNCE] mod_perl 2 summer teaching tour
Hi, While planning vacation and teaching engagements I've discovered that I'm going to do a trip around the world in about 80 days :) During the trip I'd like to offer free mod_perl tutorials/talks to Perl monger groups in the areas I've planned to go. If I'm not already in your city, you may need to help me with travel expenses to get me there. For example you might consider getting your company to bring me in to do some classes/consulting. At the moment I have only a rough schedule. But I'll keep it constantly updated at this URL: http://stason.org/schedule.html -- __ 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

Your POD file was attached as text/plain, so didn't have any encoding that would have stopped a literal "From " at the beginning of the line. I'm not arguing that it's a good format, just explaining how it works. > And an unescaped > in pod is an error. Yup. I'm just explaining why the > probably showed up. ScottG.
Handling POST requests for non-CGI resources
I'm writing a module that needs to allow static pages (resources) to accept a POST method. The actual data that is POSTed is handled at the authentication phase. Dynamic webpages work fine but static pages (html, images, word, excel) handled by my authentication module end in Method Not Allowed since the orginal request is a POST method. The authentication returns OK but the down stream handlers figure out that html cannot handle POST requests so it returns Method Not Allowed. Any suggestions as to how I can accomplish this? Thanks, -Carlos

so, no way for your browser to return one - sessions are definetly broken.

hi.

I simply can't remember how I had it before -- is the above supposed to set
a cookie immediately?
yes - the assignment to the udat hash element should cause session
handling to start and the SET-COOKIE header to be sent.
Incidentally, I looked inside %udat earlier, and noticed that someone had
set the _session_id field set to 2515f2069584f2fe5b4fccd144e1f207. So, some
magic is clearly going on.
look at your session directory and see if it contains any sessions.
look at this particular session number to see if anything is set.

Ok, I already have downloaded that version of Apache::DBI from TheoryX. I will try to patch it manually because I don't have a "patch" utility for Windows. I guess I will need just to replace some modules calls like that mod_perl rc5 announcement says. Or... if you say that it is a pure perl module, I can just build it using nmake. Teddy

I have uninstalled mod_perl rc4 by using ppm uninstall mod_perl, then I have installed mod_perl rc 5 using ppm install mod_perl. If you say that ModPerl::RegistryCooker contains the right syntax, it means that maybe the uninstallation didn't delete the ModPerl::RegistryCooker and the installation of rc5 didn't replace it with the new version, so I still have the old version of this module. I will try to re-install mod_perl. Teddy

That's true; if you need a patch utility, try the Perl Power tools: http://ppt.perl.org/. > Or... if you say that it is a pure perl module, I can just > build it using nmake. Yes, nmake would be needed for Win32 ActivePerl in building a package from the CPAN sources. However, the Apache-DBI ppm package is at the same version as the package on CPAN, so either way, you'll have to try some patches. -- best regards, randy
