[Catalyst] Catalyst I18N::DBI prevent connect at startup
Hi!
I'm using Catalyst with the Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI module.
The catalyst page is served through apache2 with mod_perl.
When starting apache2, the I18N module tries to connect immediately to the
MySQL server.
Here comes the problem:
At boot, apache2 tries to start before MySQL. Since MySQL is not yet
running, the I18N module fails with the following error (of course because
no MySQL):
DBI connect('database:localhost:3306','User',...) failed: Can't connect to
local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Catalyst/Plugin/I18N/DBI.pm line 196.
This prevents apache2 to start correctly thus I have to start it always
manually after each boot which works fine because now mysql is running.
Is there a possibility to prevent this early connection or force a lazy
connection?
Thanks
Stefan

AW: [Catalyst] Catalyst I18N::DBI prevent connect at startup
Which OS/distribution do you use? If a Linux, do you have upstart jobs or a SystemV-init-system? Actually it's Ubuntu 10.04.4. Apache is started by SystemV-Init system whereas mysql is an upstart script. As far as I know there is no simple solution to define the dependency that apache (or any sysvinit script) should start after mysql (any upstart script). If both would be of the same type, this would be fairly easy. Additional discussion on this topic can be found here: http://serverfault.com/questions/513526/force-apache-start-after-mysql As you can see in the solution posted on Serverfault, it's not quite optimal. Thus I thought that it would be better to tell Catalyst or I18N somehow to wait for the first Client-Request and THEN connect to mysql, instead of connecting at startup. --- Stefan ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
