Logging Session IDs from environment variables

Hi all I have asked this before, but I still haven't managed to shed any light on it, so I was hoping that somebody might be able to shed some more light. (While you're about it, have a look at the site we have just launched : http://www.orgasmicwines.com - mod_perl mysql based site.) If I

Memory problems

Hi I had huge problems yesterday. Our web site made it in to the Sunday Times and has had to serve 1/2 million request in the last 2 days. Had I set it up to have proxy servers and a separate mod_perl server? No. DOH! So what happened to my 1Gig baby? It died. A sad and unhappy death. I am

RE: Memory problems

Why is it that my memory usage is going up and up, and shutting down the two major consumers of memory (Apache/mod_perl and MySQL) don't reclaim that memory? I am running RedHat 6, with Apache 1.3.9, mod_perl 1.21, and MySQL 3.23a. As an aswer to my question to anybody in a similar

Compiling mod_perl with different versions of Perl

it matter at compile time, or is it sufficient that the default Perl binary is the correct one at run time? Does the binary you use to run Makefile.pl have any influence? Any help greatly appreciated Thanks Clinton Gormley

SegFaults caused by Apache::Cookie during ChildExit

I am using a home-baked session manager on my web site. I clean up expired sessions by called a child exit handlder and this all worked rather well. However, we have recompiled Perl, Apache, mod_perl and Perl modules with pgcc and a different configuration (removed all modules we didn't need),

RE: ANNOUNCE: Apache::OpenIndex

OpenIndex provides a file manager for an Apache modperl web site using a web browser. Looks good George any plans to add better authentication (eg certificates) and to set it up for secure SSL file transfers? Clinton Gormley

RE: Excellent article on Apache/mod_perl at eToys

wants to go and look at the pretty pictures. Hi Perrin What I'd love to see is the avg spec and numbers of machines in each section. So how many proxy, mod_perl and search servers were required to give the phenomenal performance you managed to achieve. thanks Clinton Gormley

When using Apache::DBI...

Am I correct in this: Apache::DBI can only really do its stuff when you perform a DBI-connect, so by calling $dbh = DBI-connect(..) during PerlChildInit and then never trying to reconnect, you are defeating the purpose of using Apache::DBI. To expand on this, when Apache::DBI intercepts a

New module : Apache::Session::Manager

I've written a new module as a wrapper around Apache::Session which provides short term (ie session) tracking (which is something that Apache::SessionManager and Apache::SessionX provide), but this adds long term user tracking, and methods to aid login, logout etc. It is meant to be subclassed,

Re: New module : Apache::Session::Manager

Hi Enrico After posting, I looked at Apache::AuthCookie for the first time - don't why I hadn't looked at it before - to find that I was, indeed, duplicating a lot of work that has been done before. Didn't I feel foolish! It looks like Perrin may have to write a ...why not to write your own

Optimising cache performance

Sharing memory between children

I had a look at the memory usage of my apache/mod_perl 1 processes, and was alarmed to find that only 3Mb of 25Mb processes was being shared (and that's straight after startup) I have gone to great lengths to (1) Preload modules in my startup file (2) Load shared config data during server
