Hi, I have a controller who's job is to copy some files (4-6). These files can be quite big and the time it takes has been causing what looks like timeouts on the server.
[Tue Sep 23 09:48:55 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] FastCGI: comm with server "/var/www/MyApp/script/motion_fastcgi.pl" aborted: idle timeout (30 sec), referer: http://somehost/cgi-bin/doit.cgi [Tue Sep 23 09:48:55 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl" I could increase the timeout period on the httpd daemon. I thought a more elegant solution would be to present a page with the results for each file after it's copied that is updated with the status of each copied file. So the same window refreshes and the next file is listed with the copy status. I have achieved this in the past (CGI) by putting a form on the page and using javascript/onload/submit while items < 1. It's a bit of a hack but it works. Is there a method within Catalyst that might help me reach my goal? Something akin to Chained perhaps. Alternatively can I loop through the list of files and $c->{template} = 'files/rename.tt2'. My experiments haven't been successful. I get the whole page of results. Is there something like $c->forward that I should be using here? Here an abridged versions of the controller. sub rename : Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; die if ($c->request->param('id') !~ /\d+/); my $list = getFilesBySubID($c, $c->request->param('id')); my @moved; foreach my $file ( @{$list} ) { my $source = $file->path; my $type = getFileTypeFromName(basename($file->path)); my %state = ( 'id' => $c->request->param('id'), 'source' => $file->path, 'distin' => undef, ); my $path = getPathFromNumber($c->request->param('splnumber'), $type); my $x = copy($source,$path) or warn "Cannot copy $source to $path: $!\n"; $state{'success'} = $x; $state{'distin'} = $path; } else { $state{'success'} = 0; } push(@moved, \%state); $c->stash->{moved} = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $c->stash->{template} = 'files/rename.tt2'; } } I hope this makes sense :-/. Any advice would be appreciated.
