RE: Apache 1.3.20, modperl 1.25, win32
Okay, I'm confused now. I thought those binaries were just for people who didn't have a win32 compiler handy. Don't they just use the regular source tree? I build mod_perl off of the apache source using nmake and visual c++. Here's a test: make a frameset with three panes. In the first two, call a mod_perl script that prints the time, pauses for 5 seconds, then prints the time again. The third one should just be a static image. When you try to load the page, you'll know if isn't running multithreaded if the panes in the frameset load sequentially; as in the second pane loads only after the first is finished. This request takes 10 seconds on my build, instead of the 5 it should take if both scripts ran concurrently. The problem I have is that my site uses a mod_perl content handler on nearly every html page for dynamic content. Obviously, running requests one a time would not work. I really hope there is a solution for this, because otherwise I have to figure out how to duplicate this in IIS (which means make an ISAPI extension and embedding perl in it... multithreaded perl at that).

RE: Apache 1.3.20, modperl 1.25, win32
In my continuing quest to figure out how to port my Apache/modperl stuff to Windows per my company's all win2k servers mandate, I've been playing with Apache 1.3.20 and modperl on Windows. I was wondering if there is anyway to get this thing to handle more than one request at a time, without waiting for Apache2/modperl2 to be finished.

I'm not attached to it though and can get a different build, if I can just get this thing to work. Hi Tom I can sympathise. We have rolled out a system on Win32 Apache/mod_perl. We ran into the problem of sequential requests and have had to abandon mod_perl for a particular section of the system. We have found the mod_perl stuff to be satisfactory for dynamic pages with only one or two db lookups. The sections that required a lot of processing we have moved back to standard CGI figuring that the processing overhead for process startup was a small enough percentage to be acceptable. Our systems use a custom tag parser that is run as a mod_perl content handler. This originally worked as a CGI and was ported to a handler. I have ported the CGI to PerlEx with acceptable results but we haven't rolled it out yet. There are ways of doing things with other technologies. We went with the mod_perl thing because we deliver on a variety of platforms - W2K, NT, AIX, Solaris, Linux and some of the other Unices. Win32 is always the problem. I hesitate to say it on this list, but I am becoming more of the opinion that Win32 problems require Win32 solutions. I can't wait for version 2.

Re: ssl encryption
Then the question comes up of what happens if you're not storing it in a database? Say, for example, every night at midnight there's a report that gets taken from the database and emailed to a manager in an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the purchasing information from the previous day. Plus, most people concur that there is no such thing as a 100% secure system, however, using a 2048 bit GPG asynchronous key would make it quite difficult to get that information, even if the server was broken into and all the root passwords were changed. Then, of course, the intruder could change the passkey for the encryption and send the reports to himself. Then, of course you could modify su to report whenever someone uses it to su to root, but that's only valid if they get in with su. But then we're getting beyond the scope of this mailing list. I guess there really is no such thing as absolute security, only probable security. Oh well.

Re: Help Apache::Registry Setup
From: Purcell, Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I found that there is a folder called mod_perl and if I put my counter.cgi
file there that it ran mod-perl (or PERSISTANT).
I put the code block you sent me in the httpd.conf file and restarted the
server, then renamed a file that was under cgi-bin to counter.mpl
(thinking
that the .mpl linked the file to mod-perl), but I get an error stating:
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/counter.mpl on this server.
Anyway, should I be able to put .mpl files anywhere under the cgi-bin
directory with that snippet of code, or do all mod-perl files have to live
under the mod-perl folder?
The chunk of config that I sent:
FilesMatch \.mpl$
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
/FilesMatch
Is one of several ways to get mod_perl to run your Perl code instead of
something else (like /usr/bin/perl). What I've done here is to tall Apache
to look for files that end in '.mpl' and hand them off to the given handler
(Apache::Registry). Try this script:
# rodney.mpl
printf qq{PID [$$] First is %sdefined [$first].br\n}, $first ? '' : 'not
';
$first = time;
You'll notice that there's no reference to the Perl interpreter, that's OK.
mod_perl already has a Perl interpreter in memory and knows what to do with
your code. Make sure to set the permisions on this scrip to be executable by
your Apache daemon's user and to place the code in a place where Apache is
willing to execute it. Now view the script in a browser. Take not of the PID
and time (or lack thereof), and reload. Do this 10-20 times and you'll see
mod_perl magic (or toe stubbing, deppending on how you look at it.)

IOSocket Problem
Hello,
I could really use some help here. I have had the following outstanding
problem for two weeks. I have read the mod_perl coding guidelines and the
code below actually comes from page 7 the counter example.
Background: My web site requires a login with a name and password, then I
create a login string and I have to open up a socket into a application that
lives on a Unix box, (so I use IO::Socket). I followed the coding guidelines
on page 7, but still have an issue. The first time they log in, the socket
is created and all is good. If I login the next time, it is as if the socket
is not being recreated, or something funny. It doesn't work after the first
time.
Now I know some of this is caused by the persistant mod-perl. But I have
used all my variables, and I have called the subroutines with a require like
the example, but it still doesn't work.
I am showing all code below. Could someone PLEASE glance at that and tell me

the same thing.

Re: IOSocket Problem
Hi Scott, If you think that this might be a mod_perl problem, and since you aren't using any mod_perl specific functionality, then switch to straigh CGI. I'd suggest adding a bunch of debugging messages in your code. They should be directed to the server's error log by printing to STDERR. Run your program once and have a look at the error log. Then repeat. Once you've got the program working correctly under CGI, switch to mod_perl and start over. Something to understand with mod_perl, it's often important to restart the httpd between experiments. I won't go into when this is or isn't required, but basically: Restart Apache after every code changed. --- Rodney Broom Programmer: Desert.Net

and in httpd.conf
Location /my_protected
PerlSendHeader On
PerlAccessHandler Apache::TicketAccess
#PerlAuthzHandler Apache::TicketAccess
...
/Location
And it doesn't work !
The Browser does not set the new cookie , only the first ever sent cookie
is set.
Whats wrong with this ?
As you can see i also tried to use the AutzHandler, but somehow this does
not get called at all.
The reason for that is that there is no 'require' directive in your
configuration. You need something like
require valid-user
in there for it to call AuthHandlers.
Someone correct me if i am mistaken please.

Re: Sending Cookies from Access-Handler - Update
I was wrong, there is no cookie being set at all.
So, what happens is that the handler gets called
i get an entry in the error_log like
setting cookie Ticket=ID1; ... expires=Sun, 15-Jul-2001 ...
and No Cookie being sent to the browser.
Is it possible to send cookies from the Accesshandler ? or am i wasting my time ?
Should i use push_handlers and use another phase of the request ?
which my modperl doesn't like, i built it with EVERYTHING=1 but it doesn't want to
call
other handlers than the AccessHandler .. another Puzzle it seems.

Re: Sending Cookies from Access-Handler - Fixed
Ok, i think i should really go to sleep now ... It was using the wrong domain ! forgot to tell apache that it is called www.my.com as i was sending cookies for .my.com ... strangely under win32 this didn't work even with the right domain... good night, Nenad Ok, i tried the push_handlers with PerlFixupHandler, as before this gets called also , i get an entry in my error_log (because i use $r-warn to log) and again no cookie is being sent ... For the record : i am using apache 1.3.20 and modperl 1.25 Do i have to do a redirect or something similar so that the browser sets the cookie ? Or do i have problems with the basic configuration of apache ? Nenad Steric wrote: I was wrong, there is no cookie being set at all.

Sending Cookies from Access-Handler
Hallo,
After reading the Writing Apache Modules ..-book,
i took the ticketserver code as the foundation for a new Authtentication Module.
I want Cookies which have expired to silently refresh.
so as a test i have code similar to this
package Apache::PermanentTicketRenewer
my Counter;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
$Counter += 1;
my $cookie = CGI::Cookie-new(-name = 'Ticket',
-path = '/',
-domain = '.my.com',
-expires = '+1M',
-value = { 'ID' = $Counter }
);
$r-warn('setting cookie ',$cookie);# this shows up in the error_log
$r-headers_out-add(Set-Cookie = $cookie);
i also tried
$r-err_header_out(Set-Cookie = $cookie);
and
$r-cgi_header_out(Set-Cookie = $cookie);
return OK;
}
and in httpd.conf
Location /my_protected
PerlSendHeader On
PerlAccessHandler Apache::TicketAccess
#PerlAuthzHandler Apache::TicketAccess
...
/Location
And it doesn't work !

Re: mod_perl DSO leaking on restart?
Don't be so willing to bet. Still leaking. I did as you said and just rebuilt Perl and mod_perl but didn't bother to rebuild all the Perl modules (I would have done so had I been successful here).

Re: DSO mod_perl HUP memory leak

On a FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE box, I get about 9M per HUP. This server is running every page through Template Toolkit.

Re: ssl encryption
KS == Kevin Schroeder [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: KS This would make an interesting discussion because I've had the KS same question come up in my mind. How do you encrypt things on KS your server without giving out the passphrase? Is it even KS possible to keep the key in the same location as the program using KS it and still maintain security? No; the only way to secure this would be to make the server ask you to type the passphrase on startup, and you never write this down. This makes it impossible to have automated restart, of course. Better thing to do is to secure your database server a bit better. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.
