Hi,
I've read about the prefork-engine for the test-server in another
thread, which could be very useful for me (our outsourced
codemonkeys sometimes produce VERY SLOW controllers and together
with multiple ajax-request, this means waiting ;)).
About usage I found only this:
$ cpan Catalyst:Engine::HTTP::Prefork
$ CATALYST_ENGINE='HTTP::Prefork' script/myapp_server.pl
Amazingly, this doesn't change anything at all with my app, after
starting there are still only two processes (some kind of
supervisor I think and the real server process) and the requests
are served one-by-one. Even more confusing, if I set
CATALYST_ENGINE to 'Whatever', I get no error message or something.
Is there required more to use it, besides installing the module
from CPAN?
Thanks and regards,

Hi Neo,
Are you running a really old version of Catalyst::Devel?
If you specify the -r option to myapp_server.pl that was generated
with a (oh, 2 years?) very old version of Catalyst::Devel it will not
work right.
This option clobbers your engine and sets the engine to
'HTTP::Restart'. Take a look at your script/myapp_server.pl and find
the section for checking $restart
The proper lines should be:
if ( $restart && $ENV{CATALYST_ENGINE} eq 'HTTP' ) {
$ENV{CATALYST_ENGINE} = 'HTTP::Restarter';
}
It used to omit the test for CATALYST_ENGINE, and ... well, that's not
right :)
Otherwise, it should definitely throw an error for an invalid engine
being specified:
$ CATALYST_ENGINE='Yourmom' perl script/myapp_server.pl
Can't locate Catalyst/Engine/Yourmom.pm in @INC
-J
Ha! Thank you very much, this was exactly the problem!
Our startup-scripts indeed seem to be abount two years old. I remember
seeing a warning about old scripts once, but haven't seen them in a
while and thought one of my colleagues fixed it.
If I may ask a following question.... how to rebuild the scripts? >_< I
can't reproduce the old warning and either I'm too stupid to use Google
or the howto is hidden somewhere in subspace...
Thanks and regards,
