Problem with Directory in Perl sections

2001-10-29 Thread James Stalker
Hi, I have hit a problem with the latest couple of versions of mod_perl, and I wondered if anyone might know a solution. We're using Apache 1.3.22 with mod_perl 1.26, and there appears to be a problem with the Directory directive in perl sections... e.g. $Directory{$DocumentRoot}={

The mod_perl servers are the work horses, just like the custom servers. In a classical OLTP system, the customer servers are stateless, that is, if a server goes down, the TM/mod_proxy server routes around it. (The TM rollsback any transactions and restarts the entire request, which is
