Re: Mod-Perl techincal support - looking for consultant

2009-12-28 Thread Joe Niederberger
Some details:

Business based in New Jersey (not so relevant)
Hoster: Datapipe 
OS: FreeBSD 7.2 release p4
Arch - amd64-freebsd
Perl 5.8.9
Apache/mod-perl 1.3

Basic problem is Datapipe support has little experience with mod_perl.

Mod-Perl techincal support - looking for consultant

2009-12-28 Thread Joe Niederberger
Hello,

I apologize if this is not the right forum for this - but we need
to find an hourly consultant with mod_perl and apache expertise,
and hopefully some FreeBSD experience as well.

I would be most grateful for any good leads.

Thanks,

Re: modperl / apache13 memory footprints on 32 adn 64 bit servers

I should add - if anyone can answer this question - would it be a good idea
to do
so even if possible?

Thanks,

Re: modperl / apache13 memory footprints on 32 adn 64 bit servers

2009-12-22 Thread Joe Niederberger
Well, some poking aronud by the sysadmins and they found teh perl
was compiled with

> MYMALLOC PERL_MALLOC_WRAP USE_64_BIT_ALL USE_64_BIT_INT USE_FAST_STDIO
> USE_LARGE_FILES USE_PERLIO

So it was using 64 bit variables for INT and maybe some other uneeded
things.
So that might be a big part of it.

modperl / apache13 memory footprints on 32 adn 64 bit servers

2009-12-20 Thread Joe Niederberger
Hello,

I'm in process of moving a mod_perl/apache1.3 application from 
32bit to 64bit architectures. I am not a sysadmin, but rather the app
programmer.  

But I'm surprised by the dramatic leap in httpd process sizes. Here are 
"typical" SIZE/RES figures:

32bit:  SIZE=45M   RES=32M
64bit:  SIZE=95M   RES=45M

Do these look reasonable? Should I worry?

Thanks to all who answer - your experience and expertise make mod_perl
a vital force.

Re: FreeBSD 7.2, mod_perl2 & Apache2::Cookie (libapreq2)

2009-11-10 Thread Joe Niederberger
Well, I didn't make the changes myself - they were done by Datapipe staff
who
run a server for me. The route taken was extreme - they basically
de-installed all packages
and reinstalled. There may be better ways to go about it.

Sadly, has the signs of a not-well technology.
Anyone have opinions on a way forward?
Is the answer Linux?

FreeBSD 7.2, mod_perl2 & Apache2::Cookie (libapreq2)

2009-10-27 Thread Joe Niederberger
Hello,

Does anyone have the combination of FreeBSD 7.2, Apache2.2, mod_perl2
and libapreq2 all installed and working fine?

My web-hoster is having exterme difficulties getting this set up. The
Apache2.so is
rife with undefined symbols that they cannot resolve. Simply making a call
to the cookie jar and the process segfaults.

Any help most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
