hi,
first of all thanks and praises for this wonderful tool, I am
currently creating a website as part of a workplacement and emb:perl
is great for the use within templates...
however emb:perl caused me some distress recently:
I tried a to acceass a mysql database and had an error in my sql
statement but the problem was that I appearantly couldn't stop
emb:perl.
the apache error_log was growing and growing although I had
interrupted the connection (the stop button on the browser..)
I grew kindof desperate and even moved the file that was executed to
another location (honestly I don't know if that even makes sense) but
not even that stopped it.
and the diskspace was becoming fewer and fewer
the solution in the end was to stop httpd
I searched the documentation on the emb:perl website
the only thing I found was
"Under perl5.004 there are memory leaks. This is not an Embperl bug,
but can cause your httpd to grow endlessly when running under
mod_perl. Please upgrade to perl5.004_04 to fix this. You should also
upgrade to a mod_perl version higher than 1.07_01 as soon as
possible, because until 1.07_01 there is a memory leak in
Apache->push_handler."
the version of mod_perl is 1.25 and the perl version 5.6 meaning
above the ones mentioned in this paragraph
the thing is I am not a programmer so please excuse me if I may not
have described the problem very accurately but if anyone coud give me
a clue what happenened and what is possible to avoid such situations
I would be most grateful
thanks in advance
peter
ps. some additional info maybe it's helpful...
the machine was a red hat 6.0 linux box with a 2.2.5-15 kernel
