RE: Building high load mod_perl/Mason servers

Eric, What we do with our PHP/mod_perl boxes is develop everything locally on development servers and then export it all using rsync. We have six servers in our cluster that we rsync to. Basically, we store everything in a local CVS repository. When changes are made on the local dev boxes and

RE: Throttling, once again

Hi, I *HIGHLY* recommend mod_throttle for Apache. It is very configurable. You can get the software at http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_throttle/index.shtml . The best thing about it is the ability to throttle based on bandwidth and client IP. We had problems with robots as well as

RE: Throttling, once again

Hi, I looked at the page you mentioned below. It wasn't really clear on the page, but what happens when the requests get above the max allowed? Are the remaining requests queued or are they simply given some kind of error message? There seem to be a number of different modules for this kind

RE: Apache stops serving requests

Is this for example only on the machines running Linux 2.4, did you recompile everything including Perl, what compiler and compilation options did you use, are you using DSO, have you read the file mod_perl/SUPPORT, have you tried mod_perl-1.26_01 and/or apache_1.3.23...? This has been happening

RE: Apache stops serving requests

Definitely go for 5.6.1 at least, 5.6.0 is buggy. Compile your own, don't use RPMs unless you have evidence they'll be OK. I use 5.7.2 now in development and I'd be quite happy with to go live with it, although I don't do anything fancy in my Perl code if I can avoid it. I'll give this a shot.

RE: Apache stops serving requests

While rebuilding perl and apache/modperl could possibly fix it, check your error log for segmentation faults. No segfaults at all. The last core file I've got on one of the affected boxes is from early January. Thanks, Jeremy

RE: New mod_perl hacker wannabe . . .

Just today, I finished a new module - my first from scratch - for handling 404 errors. I know Apache::404 isn't a real imaginative name, but it works. I took a look at this, it's a good idea for smaller sites. I would suggest that you figure out a way to put a rate limit on the number of

RE: IP based instant throttle?

Hi all, Just thought I would add my two cents...I run an online gaming site and the end users often decide to mess with our systems. We service a pretty juvenile crowd in some regards. So there definately is a need for better protection from floods. I've had one user in particular who has

Hanging processes (all of a sudden!)

Hi all, I've run into a strange problem with mod_perl over the weekend. All of a sudden, mod_perl started losing scope on it's connections to MySQL. I'd eventually run out of connections to the MySQL server (currently set up to limit to 200). This didn't make sense to me, since previously the
