RE: Apache crashing

2007-10-10 Thread Ian G. Tyndall 
 
Thanks for the reply!
I do have these in my conf already (sorry, should've been more
specific):
 LoadFile Perl/bin/perl58.dll
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

But, I don't have the others. I added the following to my conf:

LoadFile X:/Apache2.2/bin/libapreq2.dll
LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so

And, I get this error:
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 183 of X:/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: API
module structure 'apreq_module' in file
X:/Apache2.2/modules/mod_apreq2.so is garbled -  expected signature
41503232 but saw 41503230 - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO, or
was compiled for a different Apache version? 

Apache version: 2.2.6

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Your conf does not look complete. For example, I don't even see the
following lines:
LoadFile Perl/bin/perl58.dll
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

LoadFile bin/libapreq2.dll
LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so

Turning off caching

2007-10-04 Thread Ian G. Tyndall 
I've got an existing cgi project that I was hoping to get some
performance improvements from mod_perl. Everything was going great until
I ran into a caching issue. The script repeatedly performs the last
action given regardless of the paramaters passed in.

I've seen this:

$r-nocache(1);

But, how can I use it in my startup.pl or in my httpd.conf?
If I can't do it in the startup.pl, or the conf file, I would welcome
any other recommendations.

This is my virtual host setup:

VirtualHost *:80
ServerName mysite.com
DocumentRoot X:/htdocs/sites/mysite_dev
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/admin/
X:/htdocs/sites/mysite_dev/cgi-bin/admin/
ErrorLog logs/rt-error.log
Directory X:/htdocs/sites/mysite_dev
  Options +ExecCGI
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all 
Files ~ \.(cgi)$
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
/Files
/Directory
/VirtualHost

I'm using mod_perl 2.0.3, perl 5.8.8, apache 2.0.59 on a Windows 2003
server.

Thanks,
Ian T.

RE: Turning off caching

2007-10-04 Thread Ian G. Tyndall 
Thanks for the quick responses!

For argument sake, I went ahead and added the following to the top of
one of the problem scripts:

 my $r = shift;
$r-no_cache(1);

And it didn't fix it.

Geoffrey:
I tried the mod_expires with : access 1 seconds
That didn't work either... thanks though.

Adam:
I'm looking into that perlinithandler right now, thanks for the
recommendation.

You can't use it in startup.pl or httpd.conf, but you could create a
PerlInitHandler that runs for the whole site (or part of it) and use it
in there.  At least that's another option.

you can't - the $r means it's a per-request thing, not a
lifetime-of-the-server thing

 If I can't do it in the startup.pl, or the conf file, I would welcome
 any other recommendations.

see mod_expires:
