FYI Small hints for modules using directives

2002-03-16 Thread Jay Lawrence
If anyone out there's building modules with directives you'll know that its a tricky business. I ran across two problems and related solutions. (Thanks for nudging me along for #1 Geoff - but #2 I solved all by my lonesome!) FIRST HINT - Modules compirised of several files and make Apache

DRI really like the new logo, and in fact I voted for it. However, I just DRrealized that the logo uses modperl, whereas mod_perl's name is DRmod_perl, with the underscore. Does anyone else see this as a problem? BMIt's a graphic design so I don't see that it needs to follow the Apache BMmodule

A thought - what about putting the suggestion of an underscore by putting bars underneath the d and p of modperl? Just a suggestion to Michael as presumably he is revisting the design for the buttons. This is a funny discussion. Although not my favorite Logo has been elected, I confirm the

RE: loss of shared memory in parent httpd

I believe I have the answer... The problem is that the parent httpd swaps, and any new children it creates load the portion of memory that was swaped from swap, which does not make it copy-on-write. The really annoying thing - when memory gets tight, the parent is the most likely httpd process

Yes, this is my theory also. I figured this out a while back, and started a thread on this list, but since then haven't had enough time to investigate it further. The thread is here: http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl/wherdtharvoi which includes some helpful hints from Doug on how to call

The reason turning off swap works is because it forces the memory from the parent process that was swapped out to be swapped back in. It will not fix those processes that have been sired after the shared memory loss, as of Linux 2.2.15 and Solaris 2.6. (I have not checked since then for
