Apache::Session, DBD::Oracle

Hi, We've been using the latest Apache::Session::DBI with some success using Oracle 8i (DBD::Oracle 1.03) as the data store. (Basically, we applied Ajit Deshpande's recommendation of patching DBIStore.pm with a large number for LongReadLen. See http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for reference.) We recentl

Apache::Session, Embperl...

We are using Embperl 1.2, Apache Session 1.3 (using DBIStore/SysVSemaphoreLocker) with Oracle as the backend. We've been observing periodic browser hangs which can be sporadically replicated by hitting the same page in quick succession using the same session id. After doing that, updating %ud

Re: Managing session state over multiple servers

All hail the Guide! :-) However, I would like to say that Apache::Session::DBIStore does the following: $self->{dbh} = DBI->connect( $datasource, $username, $password, { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 } ); so, if, somewhere else

Managing session state over multiple servers

Hi Simon, This is not an answer to any of your questions, but your mail reminded me of a "gotcha" relating to Apache::Session and Apache::DBI that is probably totally obvious to the gurus on this list. When Apache::Session::DBI connects to a database, it calls: $self->{dbh} = DBI->connect(

possible patch for Apache::AuthCookie

Hi all, Currently, Apache::AuthCookie uses: $r->err_header_out("Set-Cookie" => ... to set its cookie. However, if you're authentication or authorization routines also sets a cookie, then it will get overwritten by the above code. Below is a proposed patch to AuthCookie.pm that I believe s

all protected but one...

Hi all, What is the best way to have a Location directive apply to an entire site except for a single directory? This relates to Apache::AuthenCookie. I'm trying to "require valid-user" for the entire site except for a directory ("/register"). Thanks... Rob

httpd size...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a good way to measure the real memory usage of "httpd" and her children. Under Linux, summing up 'ps -auxw | grep httpd' gives me a huge number that does not reflect shared memory. How can I found out the real memory usage? Thanks!!! Rob

LWP vs Netscape

When I went to: http://www.volunteermatch.com/results/results.jtmpl?zip=5&radius=60&when=30&ongoing=b&category=Everything&submit=Search using Netscape, it showed me the search form the first time round. After I actually ran the search, then even going to: http://www.volunteermatch.

Re: Problems with RedHat

I actually commented out the "exit" line below that and let it continue as if there were no error. Then, when I ran "make", I discovered the actual error, which in my case involved not having gdbm properly installed. Good luck, Rob >if ./helpers/TestCompile sanity; then > > change i

mod_perl, php...

Just curious: Is compiling both mod_perl *and* php into Apache not a good idea? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. But, I noticed a site (bugs.horde.org) that did it, and was just wondering. Thanks, Rob

Re: ab weirdness...

Strange indeed. This is a 10M LAN. The reason I was suspecting something wrong with my Apache configuration was because AOLServer (running on the test server) was reporting about 25 requests per second for the same file, which should definitely not be the case. Thanks! Rob Rasmus Lerdorf wr

ab weirdness...

Hi, When I use "ab" from another Linux box to fetch a static HTML page (about 6K in size) on a test server on the same network, "ab" reports: 3 requests per second versus about: 900 requests per second when "ab" is run directly on the test server. This doesn't seem right. I th

EmbPerl, PHP continued...

Hi all, I was looking for some performance data for EmbPerl, PHP, etc. but could only find "Hello World"-type tests. So, I decided to add a few other tests to the mix and post the results. These test results are still very crude. Any feedback/analysis/criticism would be appreciated. Thanks!

EmbPerl, PHP

Hi, Can anyone point me towards any good resources comparing EmbPerl, PHP, etc.? Or better yet, does anyone have any real world stories about the merits of each in terms of performance, memory consumption, bugs, etc? On an unrelated note, any recommendations for a plotting package to generate
