   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,
   Neo [GC]



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...


catalyst.pl -force -scripts MyApp

Thanks! This seems to have worked. I still get a warning about old scripts, but I think from now on it's our adminmonkeys thing (don't know how old our CPAN-modules are...).
