Obviously, using Apache::DBI makes this go away, but it's disturbing nonetheless. Does this ring any bells? Dunno about number 2, but 1 is perfectly normal. TIME_WAIT is a condition the OS puts a closed socket into to prevent another app from using the socket, just in case the peer host has any more packets to send to that port. The host that closes the socket will put the old socket into TIME_WAIT. BSD IP stack implementations keep sockets in time_wait for about 30 seconds, others go up to 2 minutes. The duration is called 2MSL (2 * max_segment_lifetime).

[modperl site design challenge] update
The deadline is over now, but if you didn't have enough time till now and want to submit your design or improve the one that you've submitted, please email me and we will wait for you. If you do that, please give me a completion time estimate. The deadline was set in order to make things happen, not to leave out a few good designs because people were busy, so things are flexible here. So far I've three designs submitted to me and I wait for an update from one of the designers. Eric Cholet has set up a voting poll already and I'll advertise it as soon as I know that nobody else planning on submitting their design or an update.

OT: Converting a ASP request to CGI?
Greetings. I realize this is an Off-Topic with serious flamage potential, so I'll keep it very short. Is anybody aware of any module capable of doing for the ASP environment what Apache::Registry does for mod_perl?

Re: OT: Converting a ASP request to CGI?
Write an ASP page which then calls a CGI script. In file blah.asp: Dim param1, param2 param1 = Request.QueryString(param1) param2 = Request.QueryString(param2) Response.Redirect somewhere.cgi?param1= param1 param2= param2 ... and so on is one way to do it, if I understand what you are asking for. :) James Alessandro Forghieri wrote: Greetings.

$ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} getting clobbered?
Hello,
I'm using mod_perl as a replacement for CGI. We are getting strange behavior
where $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} isn't being set correctly.
The script is protected by an .htaccess type of authentication, so when I
log in as 'kenny', $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} should be equal to 'kenny'. However,
every once in awhile, $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} will be equal to someone else's
login name, even though I'm still logged in as 'kenny' when I execute the
script. Does that make sense?
This system was working fine for 2 months or more, but recently the number
of users and the load on the machine has increased, and we have started
seeing the problem.
My theory is that %ENV is shared between requests and user 'bob' is
executing the script in the middle of my execution and $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}
is getting overwritten in my execution with 'bob'. I believe the script is
taking longer to execute due to the load time which increases the window of
opportunity for REMOTE_USER to be clobbered.
Software involved:
apache 1.3.12
mod_perl 1.24
solaris 5.7

Apache ASP help not helpfull :(
After twenty years in hardware and real-time programming, I'm back at university getting into business computing, so I'm very new to this server stuff and I'm trying to learn. I wanted to run a local server but Microsoft PWS doesn't run on Win ME. Searching around I came across this http://www.ricocheting.com/sever/index.html I found it very helpful, albeit a bit out of date. So, I've installed apache_1.3.22-win32-x86.msi onto this Win ME machine as a localhost and it works fine. I've installed ActivePerl, and it works fine too. I want to run ASP, so I download Apache-ASP-2.29 Then as per the instructions I did ___ shell prompt perl -MCPAN -e shell ... cpan install Bundle::Apache::ASP ___ A huge amount of text flowed down the screen which ended with ___ Removing previously used \.cpan\build\Apache-ASP-2.29\.

Clealy the phrase:- 'The easiest way to install Apache::ASP for the first time from perl is to fire up the CPAN shell like:' isn't quite as easy as it claims.

The main confusion I'm getting is figuring which is Perl stuff from Apache. Also links like:- ___ There are several other Perl modules that you might wish to have installed, to take full advantage of mod_perl functionality.

I believe that we fixed an environment corruption bug (at least for the
DSO case, possibly static) sometime right after 1.24 was released.

Re: Apache ASP help not helpful. I'm not alone

For Win32 ActivePerl users, if the CPAN.pm method of installing Apache::ASP becomes confused, you may want to try ppm: C:\ ppm ppm set repository some_name http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer ppm install Apache-ASP ppm set save ppm quit where the 'set repository ...' command has been broken over two lines for readability. This should install Apache::ASP plus all its dependencies that you might not have - if it doesn't, please let me know what it missed. After that, the Apache::ASP docs and web site are very good at describing the configuration and use. See an earlier post today by Joshua Chamas about a way to disable flock() on Win98 within Apache::ASP, which will be needed for MLDBM::Sync. best regards, randy kobes

I wanted to run a local server but Microsoft PWS

found it very helpful, albeit a bit out of date.
So, I've installed apache_1.3.22-win32-x86.msi onto
this Win ME machine as a localhost and it works fine.
I've installed ActivePerl, and it works fine too.
I want to run ASP, so I download Apache-ASP-2.29
[[ for Apache::ASP support, get on its mail list by emailing

For a quick start, I'd recommend installing the prebuilt
win32 mod_perl / apache from:
http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html
This page ends up referring you to:
ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/perl-win32-bin-0.7.exe
It comes fortunately with a working Apache::ASP. You will
still need to update the ./perl/lib/Config.pm to point to your
compiler installation if you want to build your own perl
modules later.
This hint is provided here:
http://www.apache-asp.org/install.html#Win32%20Instal93dbe80f
As a user going through these woes, it would be helpful if you could
suggest how I could make that part of the install help stand out more,
and content that would be more useful accurate to you?
What is not in the help is a bug/workaround for WinME / Win9x users
that occurred recently in the 2.25 release of Apache::ASP. The bug
is that MLDBM::Sync uses flock() which is not implemented on WinME.
The fix is to add this to you httpd.conf, preferrably
Perl
*CORE::GLOBAL::flock = sub { 1 };
/Perl
This fix is not necessary if you do not use $Session
or $Application though, which you can turn off with
the httpd.conf config:
PerlSetVar NoState 1
Then as per the instructions I did
___
shell prompt perl -MCPAN -e shell
...
cpan install Bundle::Apache::ASP
___
A huge amount of text flowed down the screen which
ended with
___
Removing previously used
\.cpan\build\Apache-ASP-2.29\.
Couldn't find \.cpan\build\Apache-ASP-2.29\. at
C:/Perl/lib/CPAN.pm line 1972
___
I will check out the bundle files and see how they can be improved
for the next release.
I tried to run some of Perl's sample asp pages but
nothing worked. Clealy the phrase:-
'The easiest way to install Apache::ASP for the first
time from perl is to fire up the CPAN shell like:'
isn't quite as easy as it claims.
The rest of the information at
http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/install.html
is unitelligable to anyone who hasn't worked with
servers, and all the FAQ's seem to assume your an
expert, so I'm no better off.
Apache::ASP isn't geared towards new users. It makes a lot of
of assumptions like knowledge of perl, apache, unix ( perl is
unix paradigm programming often, even on win32 platforms ).
I would like it to make it more user friendly, and I understand
the docs site can help, so please send me your suggestions.
So, is there any chance of an Idiot's guide to getting
this ASP to work?
Not yet! I have long considered writing a book on Apache::ASP,
which would probably have at least a chapter as the Idiot's guide.
I don't think it would be out in time for your needs though :(
