Re: Request for Information

[dhaval gada]

Hi,

  Well I did try printing the value for $cookie  and gives me the foll value:

 

EMBPERL_UID=df9c7b02f04343807ef7ab570ab43dc6; SESSION_ID=97f3d8207d2e8d9afd7493ca28c3908a; BIGipServerwebster2=593498284.20480.0000

 

Also, while trying to retrieve the session, I tried supplying the following values for $cookie:

1) EMBPERL_UID=df9c7b02f04343807ef7ab570ab43dc6; SESSION_ID=97f3d8207d2e8d9afd7493ca28c3908a; BIGipServerwebster2=593498284.20480.0000

 

2) EMBPERL_UID=df9c7b02f04343807ef7ab570ab43dc6; 97f3d8207d2e8d9afd7493ca28c3908a; BIGipServerwebster2=593498284.20480.0000

 

3) 97f3d8207d2e8d9afd7493ca28c3908a

 

But, each time, I get the same error , i.e.

Died at /usr/local/ext/perl/5.8.0/lib/site_perl/Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm line 40.

 

Let me know what do you think. Is it an issue with cookie or with retrieving sessions ?  Also, what value needs to be supplied for $cookie while trying to retrieve a session.
tie %session, 'Apache::Session::File', $cookie,

{  Directory => './tmp/sessions' ,
   LockDirectory => './var/lock/sessions' ,
};

 

 

Your help is really appreciated.

 

Thanks & Best Regards,

Dhaval Gada.

Okay, and you said that seemed to work.  I'd be nervous about your use
of relative directories in those path names, personally.

And that's where it dies on you?  Have you checked the value of $cookie
inside that eval?  Maybe it isn't what you think it is.
