Re: How do you use mod_perl for your web application?

2011-06-21 Thread Rolf Banting
We use mp2 + httpd in prefork mode to translate between JSON/SOAP to proprietary CORBA (via opalORB - the 100% painless CORBA interface) on dedicated servers . We've run 100's of requests a second through a single server. So long as httpd is configured sensibly the performance is excellent. A word

Bug report - mod_perl2 make test fails on Cygwin DLL version: 1.5.24

2007-10-27 Thread Rolf Banting
Guys, Probably not a bug as such but something in my set up. Find the output from REPORT below. Basically everything seems to build ok but make test fails with the claim that the server didn't start. When I look at the ps output I can see that httpd2 has started. Any help appreciated. Thanks,

UDP support in mod_perl2/apache

Hi, I'd like to able to transplant a kind of gateway app I have written from a POE to mod_perl2. Why? Well mainly so I have an excuse to get into mod_perl2 & apache. What the app does is accept client requests in a proprietrary protocol carried over UDP and translate them either into synchronous

make test failure for mp 2.0.3 against httpd2 trunk: access2.t fails

2007-11-10 Thread Rolf Banting
Hi, I have a few problems with mp 2.0.3 against the http2 trunk. 1) /home/mrstlee/Projects/mod_perl-2.0.3/xs/Apache2/RequestUtil/Apache2__RequestUtil.h:157: structure has no member named `ap_auth_type' /home/mrstlee/Projects/mod_perl-2.0.3/xs/Apache2/RequestUtil/Apache2__RequestUtil.h:158: struct

Re: mp 2.0.3 make test fails against httpd trunk: Has authorisation changed since httpd 2.2 ?

2007-11-16 Thread Rolf Banting
I can answer my own question, at least in part. In the t/httpd.conf location /TestAPI__access has AuthType none and AuthName modperl defined. If I comment those out t/api/access.t passes except for test 7. Test 7 expects 'none' as AuthType whereas in fact it is 'undef' now. I've looked through t

2007-11-16 Thread Rolf Banting
Thanks for the replies. I'll carry on and see if I can get to the bottom of the other make test failures. At that point I'll seek advice on whether or not the mp archive needs an update. I've moved on to access2.t now. The difference with access.t is that user id authentication is required. No ma

I've noticed some comments in the source (using the wonderful 'ack') about a change from requires to providers. Haven't looked any deeper so far.

mod_perl 2.0.3 + httpd trunk + access2.t fails: How to get 'Require' data with the httpd trunk implementation?

2008-01-04 Thread Rolf Banting
All, The access2.t test fails when mod_perl 2.0.3 is built against the httpd trunk. The core problem is that the test script needs the httpd ap_requires function; however the log shows that the ap_requires function has been removed from httpd: relocation error: /home/mmsadm/Projects/mod_perl-2.0
