PerlAccessHandler

Folks, My PerlAccessHandler is being executed twice per each request. Is this a normal behavior for an access handler? Here is my .conf entry Location /myHandler SetHandler perl-script # run is a wrapper for my handler # all common methods which many of my handlers

Using a module that is not quite mod_perl compliant

To the list of mod_perl experts, If a third-party module uses global variables internally that causes persistence of the data under mod_perl, is there a fix. This particular module has a lot of dependencies on other modules, so fixing the third-party stuff may not be practical. It really

Ahhh...forgot to mention...but the below approach did't work :-( It does not even go into the wrapper script when I use the system command. thanks. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 7:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL

RE: apache mod_perl + suid question

Thanks Vitor... I have something very similar to what you mention below..only that I am taking the username and passwd from the apache gui. Then I encrypt the passwd and send that to wrapper(i.e. suid_file) script. So I have something like system($wrapper), where $wrapper = suid_file.pl

RE: apache mod_perl + suid question

Yes, I am running it as /usr/sbin/usermod. I can run my wrapper with a simple perl script written on linux. The problem appears when I try to run it through the apache mod_perl. thanks. -Tushar -Original Message- From: Philip Mak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002

mod_perl PerlAccessHandler/PerlAuthenHandler question

I'm a verteran CGIer but a new mod-perl user. I have got the mod-perl running fine for the content handling. But when I try to step in to other stages like Authentication, and have trouble in setting PerlAccessHandler PerlAuthenHandler etc. If I put ###== Location /mpl/hello

Re: IPC::MM and mod_perl

I'm not sure about IPC::MM, but IPC::ShareLite (the one I use) lets you specify permissions and whatnot when you create the shared memory segment. Perhaps that module will work better for you. IPC::Shareable is also a good one. On Thursday 25 July 2002 07:38 pm, Marc Kelly wrote: This may

Re: Using a module that is not quite mod_perl compliant

If a third-party module uses global variables internally that causes persistence of the data under mod_perl, is there a fix. You can manually clear them in a cleanup handler. If they're in a separate package, you can clear the whole namespace of the package. Take a look at the code for this

Attempting persistence

I'm looking at converting a large CGI installation over to mod_perl. The code is clean, so moving it to Apache::Registry isn't causing any problems, but I'd like to get the most bang out of the conversion that I can. Currently the code is a set of scripts that all call modules that are

apache mod_perl + suid question

Hello, I am trying to write a password changing program. For this I have a mod_perl subroutine from where I am trying to execute a perl script(with suid permissions 4711), which is a wrapper and in turn calls the usermod command on linux with the old and new passwords. The problem I am having:

Try running "which perl" and use that path for your #!/usr/bin/perl line. Then rename your script as .cgi and see if that helps. Mark -Original Message-From: Christina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 9:32 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: CGI Scripts

RES: apache mod_perl + suid question

Tushar, It's not recommeded to run apache as root. (Security issues). I have some applications that uses system command under mod_perl without problems. Try to execute you wrapper script in command line. Execute it with /usr/bin/perl -T (tainted mode), that checks if your script is safe. If

Re: odd behavior of localtime

Without any real testing, may I suggest that the $date in the localtime call be surrounded in parens? Whenever I have dealt with localtime, I have found it to be finicky about that. Probably won't fix your current problem, but can save you headaches later. --Jon R. Dermot Paikkos wrote: Hi

Re: odd behavior of localtime

* Dermot Paikkos [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-07-26 09:14]: I tried this as a snippet on its own and it works. I can't figure out why it doesn't with mod_perl. I was a bit unsure of whether $date = time(); should be scalar or an array but neither work. You haven't mentioned how you are calling it.
