HTTP request using mod_perl - permission denied on localhost
Hi all, I have a mod_perl script which works at PerlTransHandler level, and translates the virtual host requested to the real system path where site's pages are stored. To do this translation, I tried two solutions: - ask to a db - ask to a php script on another apache which makes the traslation. But the second solution doesn't work in every situation: if the second apache is on the same system but different port, it doesn't work and I find on the error_log 500 Can't connect to 192.168.2.110:8080 (connect: Permission denied) (also if I use a different Ip, using an alias for the network interface) Otherwise, if it is on another system, it works. Does anyone know why it happens? Is it a limitation of apache/mod_perl? Thanks and regards Valerio
Re: HTTP request using mod_perl - permission denied on localhost
Hi all, I solved the problem: it is not a problem of mod_perl, or perl, or linux... it is a problem of Fedora and SELinux, which prevents a cgi to open a socket on the same system...

Re: WELCOME to modperl@perl.apache.org
Hi,
At http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/custom.html#C_SERVER_CREATE_it
should be noted about this function (and also about DIR_CREATE) that
it
will be called if there is at least one custom directive present in
httpd.conf.
So setting so called 'system defaults' is not possible this way because if
you do not have at least one directive in your httpd.conf, then the server
configuration object will not get initialised.
For example if I have this in MyParams.pm:
sub SERVER_CREATE {
my ($class, $parms) = @_;
return bless {
'name' => __PACKAGE__,
'MyParam1' => '2',
'MyParam2' => '4',
}, $class;
}
and in my httpd.conf I want to get server defaults by commenting out some
MyParam values like
PerlLoadModule MyParams
#MyParam1 1
#MyParam2 0
then if in my code I try to access the server configuration object like this
my $srv_cfg = Apache2::Module::get_config('MyParams',
Apache2::ServerUtil->server);
I get undef.
Is this a bug or a feature? The documentation suggests that it will be
called all the time and event suggests to use it to preset some values here
if necessary.
Regards,
Zsolt Kecskemeti

What exactly the possible reason for such a thing. The nature of a cache is that it will drop older data to make room for newer. So your solutions are to make a larger cache file (you may have to experiment to work out what size you need), or to switch to some other session storage mechanism that has different properties.
Forking a process [in Practical mod_perl book]
Hi all,
I'm trying to fork a long-running process which I do not want to wait
for. I was getting a lot of "ssh " processes, so I did some
googling and found this from the aforementioned O'reilly book:
http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/701
And sure enough, there's a section on "Avoiding Zombie Processes". In
this section's example code, the authors have added these two lines to
the top:
-
my $r = shift;
$r->send_http_header('text/plain');
-
which did not exist in the previous examples. I don't quite understand
why setting the HTTP header has any relevance to zombie processes.
Apologies if I missed it somewhere on this page, but could anyone shed
some light on why these two lines are important enough to remain in all
future examples on this topic?
Thank you!
Ray

Re: Session handling
We do run a cron job to clean up the cache, Anyhow even it contains old
data, they are basically expired, I can't
understand how that gonna cause this issue, To my understanding we clean up
the cache primarily because it is just filling up the hard disk,
Other thing is I did not mention any cache file sie as such pls see the
following code, In my Authentication handler overall what it does is once
authenticated it does put the validated user in the session and try to use
that value thereafter for subsequent requests.
Following I extracted from my Auth hanlder to hightlight the places I do use
the CGI:Session commands, Other mod_perl statements are left out
# TMP_SESSION_FOLDER is the local folder to hold cookies defined else where
my $session = new CGI::Session() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
#as the new command looks after the expired cookies and also the existence,
no any if conditions done but following #executes in each request
$session = new CGI::Session(undef, undef, {Directory=>
$TMP_SESSION_FOLDER});
# expire the session and also the remote_user_for_library parameter
#SESSION_TIME_OUT is the timeout value(30m) and SESSION_USER_PARAM is the
parameter name for authenticated user
$session->expire($SESSION_TIME_OUT);
$session->expire($SESSION_USER_PARAM, $SESSION_TIME_OUT);
# retrieve remote_user from the session
$retrieved_user = $session->param($SESSION_USER_PARAM);
#if retrieved_user is not empty this is users subsequent request
If it is the first time access it validates the user and put it to the
session as follows.
$user carries the value of the authenticated user
$session->param($SESSION_USER_PARAM, $user);
Here the issue is eventhough the session timeout is 30m,
$session->param($SESSION_USER_PARAM, $user); return empty string before the
30m
Hope this information is enough for some one to make a comment
