What am I missing?
Hi,
I am trying to use Apache::Session with mod_perl because I heard that it is
a little faster than CGI::Session. The problem is that I cannot save
variables in the created sessions. They are created, but no data is saved.
Here is what I have tried and I am sure I am missing something:
#Create session:
my %session;
eval {
tie(%session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', undef, {Handle => $dbh, LockHandle
=> $dbh});
};
#Put a variable in it:
$session{username} = 'etc';
#get the session id:
my $session_id = $session{_session_id};
undef %session;
#Get the saved session:
my %new_session;
eval {
tie(%new_session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $session_id, {Handle => $dbh,
LockHandle => $dbh});
};
#Get the var from the session:
print $new_session{username};
undef %new_session;
###
After running this script, nothing is printed and the hash element
"username" is not saved in the MySQL table, but just the session ID.
I have created the MySQL table using:
create table sessions(id varchar(32) not null primary key, a_session text);
Thank you.
Teddy

set a timestamp in your sessions before untying.

RE: What am I missing?
This needs to stay on the list.
Assuming you did create your table as a MyISAM table
which I think forces atomic updates (implicit commits),
that shouldn't be a problem and it is writing something.
I've only used this thing once so I'm no expert but it does
work unchanged after several years. My code resembles yours
except the last thing done is an explicit untie as follows:
my %session;
tie %session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', undef, { Handle => $dbh,
LockHandle => $dbh};
# set the dsn
$session{dsn} = $PONTIS::DB::dsn;
$session{username} = $PONTIS::DB::db_user;
$session{password} = $PONTIS::DB::db_pass;
# set timestamp to force update
$session{timestamp} = time();
# get the session id and return it
my $id = $session{_session_id};
untie %session;
Looking at the Apache::Session code the DESTROY method forces a save op
but I can't remember if undef short-circuits that or not.

Re: Apache segfaults with Oracle AS10g (9.0.4.0) when attempting to use mod_perl

That's for telling it that the session has changed by doing a first
level write to the tied hash. This is only necessary when you are
writing to the second level and not touching the first, e.g.
$session->{'user'}->{'favorite_color'} = 'mauve';
It doesn't need to be a timestamp either. Just doing this every time
will work fine:
$session->{'touch'} = 1;
In any case, that doesn't seem to be the problem here.

This used to be true, but CGI::Session is under new management and has
been improving.
The problem is that I cannot save
variables in the created sessions. They are created, but no data is saved.
That usually indicates that your session is not going out of scope and
thus never getting DESTORYed, which is when it gets saved.
#Create session:
my %session;
eval {
tie(%session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', undef, {Handle => $dbh, LockHandle
=> $dbh});
};
You need to check $@ here. That may not succeed.
undef %session;
This should work, unless you have put the session in some other place
(an object, a closure, a global) that is still in scope.
You can turn on DBI tracing to see if it's making any database contact.
See DBI_TRACE in the DBI man page.

My code resembles yours > except the last thing done is an explicit untie as follows: Ok, I have solved it. The only thing I needed to do was to change from undef %session to untie %session. The program used was exactly the program I have sent on the list. I have just defined $dbh, and nothing more. I don't know why it works with untie() but not with undef. The Apache::Session POD says: As shown in this example, you should undef or untie your session hash as soon as you are done with it. This will free up any locks associated with your process. So it should also work with undef, but it is OK with untie. Thank you all. Teddy
