Re: prob with dir_config at server startup

2001-01-02 Thread John K Sterling
the per_dir_configs (i.e. Location PerlSetVar) are not accessabled from the Apache::Server. They are only accessable from Apache::Request::dir_config. It makes sense if you think about it - a per_dir config can be different for each Location. If you need any config values in a PerlInitHandler,

The db connection happens once for each child - so every time you hit a child for the first time it will open up a new connection - you probably have apache configured to start with 4 or so kids. sterling On Mon, 23 Oct 2000, Differentiated Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd wrote: Hi, I have
