startup.pl for configuration
Hi,
I would like to
have a config file like /etc/mywebapp.conf where I would put all my modules
configuration. Then I would have a WebApp::LoadConfig module that would run from
startup.pl, and initialize my Perl modules default variables at Apache start.
My config file
would be some like :
###
/etc/mywebapp.conf
###
###
MyPackageOne::Default_Value_One = 1
MyPackageOne::Default_Value_One = 2
and my startup.pl
would have :
###
startup.pl
WebApp::LoadConfig-run("/etc/mywebapp.conf")
Of course,this
means that i would have to use those modules whithin mod_perl only, or have to
call that WebApp::LoadConfig-run("/etc/mywebapp.conf") at the begining of each
console script that use those modules ...
Would this be a
good idea ? What do you think about? does somebody already use it
?
Thanks,
Fred
Re: cgi-lib.pl
Rather than go into the details, it's probably best that you use Apache::PerlRun in place of Apache::Registry. cgi-lib.pl is an old Perl 4 library, if you are using new Perl 5 features like OO, modularity, and want to take the MOST advantage of mod_perl, use CGI.pm instead. CGI.pm also has a backwards compatible mode for cgi-lib.pl scripts. Also please read the mod_perl guide. http://perl.apache.org/guide/ At 01:03 AM 7/24/2001 -0500, John Buwa wrote: Hello, I have a huge system i wrote using the cgi-lib.pl as its core.

Re: cgi-lib.pl
John, A number of good suggestions came by regarding this. Here's mine, use the following in place of your cgi-bin.pl include... use CGI qw(:cgi-lib :standard -debug); This will allow you to use CGI.pm and have it default to the cgi-lib commands you're used to. The -debug statement will allow you to run your scripts via command line and enter in the variable=value pairs that you would normally send via html form. Good luck and I hope this helps, Ron John Buwa wrote: Hello, I have a huge system i wrote using the cgi-lib.pl as its core.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] RoboWeb 1.0b, web application test suite generator
If you guys end up finally collaborating, one very minor request I would have is that it goes into CPAN as something more standard like WWW:: namespace rather than a marketing name like RoboWeb. RoboWeb is actually a good product name (and in fact do a search on google for other tools with a RoboWeb label attached to them), but it really opens up room for misinterpretation in the future. And personally, I think these seem like indispensable tools that should be a standard CPAN addition. Calling it RoboWeb on CPAN will make it as confusing as figuring out which template solution to use -- but I suspect that web testing features can be fairly standardized (unlike templates).

Conflicting usage of winsock[2]* between mod_perl-1.36 andPerl-5.6.1

The include hierachy looks something like this: Icon.h - mod_perl.h - winsock2.h and perl.h perl.h - sys/socket.h (in /perl/lib/CORE) - winsock.h!! In general, any mod_perl Apache modules (eg: Apache::Icon and FileMan) with C code would fail to compile due to the exact reason. Any suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks! -- Danny Siu
Increasing Shared Memory
Hi, I'm using Stas Bekman's excellent Apache::VMonitor module to help me decrease my mod_perl child process memory usage. I was working on preloading all of my perl modules and scripts in a startup.pl script when I noticed that the amount of shared memory seemed very low. Immediately after I make an Oracle database connection, the child jumps from a size of 3.6M (2.4M shared) to 17.4M (3.4M shared). The child process slowly grows to 22.2M (3.4M shared).

Problems building mod_perl 1.26/apache 1.3.20 on SGI IRIX 6.3
Hello, I'm in the process of trying to build mod_perl and apache on an IRIX 6.3 machine. I built perl 5.6, and installed it into its own subdirectory (until I can verify that I can get apache/mod_perl working, as this is a production machine), and built and installed the apropriate modules from CPAN. When I try to build mod_perl and apache, I get errors during the Apache sanity check on compiler and options phase, where the test fails with an ld32 error FATAL 9: I/O error (1110): No such file or directory. When playing around with this some, it appears that the problem is coming about due to the inclusion of the same set of CFLAGS twice. I'm including the command used in the mod_perl directory, as well as the resultant output. I searched around on the web, but information was rather sparse, and we don't have any bright ideas here at the moment, so with any luck someone out there will have some thoughts on this. From the looks of it, it looks like mod_perl might be determining the CFLAGS, and then re-using them from the perl install? I've broken the lines up as best I can (using Notes, so it's tough to figure the best spot for line breaks), and used a backslash to show the continuations. - msteeves::spiderman [17:16] /home/spiderman/apache_upgrade/bin/perl Makefile.PL \ APACHE_PREFIX=/home/spiderman/apache_upgrade/apache_1.3.20 \ APACHE_SRC=../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src \ DO_HTTPD=1 \ USE_APACI=1 \ EVERYTHING=1 \ PERL_TRACE=1 Will configure via APACI cp apaci/Makefile.libdir ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/Makefile.libdir cp apaci/Makefile.tmpl ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/Makefile.tmpl cp apaci/README ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/README cp apaci/configure ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/configure cp apaci/libperl.module ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/libperl.module cp apaci/mod_perl.config.sh ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/mod_perl.config.sh cp apaci/load_modules.pl ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/load_modules.pl cp apaci/find_source ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/find_source cp apaci/apxs_cflags ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/apxs_cflags cp apaci/perl_config ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/perl_config cp apaci/mod_perl.exp ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20/src/modules/perl/mod_perl.exp PerlDispatchHandler.enabled PerlChildInitHandlerenabled PerlChildExitHandlerenabled PerlPostReadRequestHandler..enabled PerlTransHandlerenabled PerlHeaderParserHandler.enabled PerlAccessHandler...enabled PerlAuthenHandler...enabled PerlAuthzHandlerenabled PerlTypeHandler.enabled PerlFixupHandlerenabled PerlHandler.enabled PerlLogHandler..enabled PerlInitHandler.enabled PerlCleanupHandler..enabled PerlRestartHandler..enabled PerlStackedHandlers.enabled PerlMethodHandlers..enabled PerlDirectiveHandlers...enabled PerlTableApienabled PerlLogApi..enabled PerlUriApi..enabled PerlUtilApi.enabled PerlFileApi.enabled PerlConnectionApi...enabled PerlServerApi...enabled PerlSectionsenabled PerlSSI.enabled Will run tests as User: 'msteeves' Group: 'is' (cd ../../APACHE/apache_1.3.20 CC=cc -n32 CFLAGS= -D_BSD_TYPES -D_BSD_TIME \ -woff 1009 1110 1174 1184 1552 -OPT:Olimit=0 -I/opt/include -DLANGUAGE_C ./configure \ --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --disable-rule=EXPAT \ --prefix=/home/spiderman/apache_upgrade/apache_1.3.20) Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.20 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout) + activated perl module (modules/perl/libperl.a) Creating Makefile Creating Configuration.apaci in src Creating Makefile in src + configured for SGI IRIX-32 platform + setting C pre-processor to cc -n32 -E + checking for system header files + adding selected modules o perl_module uses ConfigStart/End + mod_perl build type: OBJ + id: mod_perl/1.26 + id: Perl/v5.6.0 (irix) [/home/spiderman/apache_upgrade/bin/perl] + setting up mod_perl build environment + adjusting Apache build environment + enabling Perl support for SSI (mod_include) + checking sizeof various data types + doing sanity check on compiler and options ** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration ** failed.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] RoboWeb 1.0b, web application test suitegenerator
I agree with you. RoboWeb is not informative enough for CPAN. I chose it for Sourceforge because it's catchy. :-) As it stands it is mostly a set of scripts, not modules. That's why I opted for putting it on Sourceforge rather than on CPAN. Do people here think it worthwile of being at CPAN under a name of its own? I would call it WWW::TestRecorder WWW::TestSuiteGenerator or HTTP::ProxyTestRecorder Jeremy Howard has suggested WWW:WebMacro (or HTTP::WebMacro) given the resemblance of recorded sequences to command macros in spreadsheet programs. (He has also been using the name WWW::Automate for his user agent API). I've been talking with Jeremy on making RoboWeb output WWW::Automate statements instead of the raw frozen HTTP::Request objects it currently does. I'm thinking that it would be best to make RoboWeb accept backend plug-ins so that it can better adapt to its users preferred client library. Please send any suggestions or feature requests you have. Claudio Gunther Birznieks wrote: If you guys end up finally collaborating, one very minor request I would have is that it goes into CPAN as something more standard like WWW:: namespace rather than a marketing name like RoboWeb. RoboWeb is actually a good product name (and in fact do a search on google for other tools with a RoboWeb label attached to them), but it really opens up room for misinterpretation in the future. And personally, I think these seem like indispensable tools that should be a standard CPAN addition. Calling it RoboWeb on CPAN will make it as confusing as figuring out which template solution to use -- but I suspect that web testing features can be fairly standardized (unlike templates).

CG [..skip..] CG I look forward to seeing WWW::Automate and to working together on this. I've recently become maintainer of another testing module HTTP::WebTest. Stable version (released on CPAN) already has many interesting features (like response time tests, text matching tests, content size checks, support for both remote web server and local test modes). I'm working on its rewrite in modular style where tests modules are pluggable so it will be easily extendable. After finishing with it I thought about writhing proxy that records users actions and produces skeleton of test. Maybe joining our efforts have some sense. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- __ Gunther Birznieks ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) eXtropia - The Open Web Technology Company http://www.eXtropia.com/

Setup help needed
Hi, I am having trouble figuring out what is up with mod_perl. I currently have apache 1.3.20 running on RH6.2, compiled with mod_ssl, mm 1.1.3 and DSO support enabled. What is the method to install mod_perl? Is it not already included with apache 1.3.20? I may have misunderstood this... I have tried to install Apache::* via cpan, which asks me for my apache source. This would seem to indicate a reinstall of apache which Im not sure I want to do. Here's exactly what I tried, can someone tell me if this is correct? perl -MCPAN -e shell install Apache (point it to the apache source below) make openssl 2.9.6b make mm 1.1.3 configure mod_ssl with --prefix=/apachessl, --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE, paths to openssl and mm... make certificate make install... Im not sure if this is what is needed or what. Can someone please clue me in? Thanks, Bryan
Re: Increasing Shared Memory

I was working on preloading all of my perl modules and scripts in a startup.pl script when I noticed that the amount of shared memory seemed very low. Immediately after I make an Oracle database connection, the child jumps from a size of 3.6M (2.4M shared) to 17.4M (3.4M shared). The child process slowly grows to 22.2M (3.4M shared). The loaded libs Sizes total 13.6M. Shouldn't the libs load into shared memory? If so, how? Make sure to use DBD::Oracle in your startup.pl or do PerlModule DBD::Oracle ... that should load up some Oracle libs in the parent. Also, you *might* try doing a connect or even an invalid connect to Oracle, which might grab some extra libs that it only loads at runtime. If you do a connect in the parent httpd to Oracle, make sure that Apache::DBI doesn't cache it later for the children, which is why I was suggesting doing an invalid connect with user/pass like BADBAD/BADBAD --Josh _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

When I initially start apache, everything is OK, but when the child processes die (due to MaxRequestsPerChild or me killing them) , the new child doesn't have a database connection and I'm getting Internal Server Error.

Cool, but each child will need its own database connection, and last time I worked with Oracle like this, it was a minimum 3M unshared just for the Oracle connection. So just make sure that each child httpd is doing its own DBI-connect() and not reusing a handle created in the parent httpd or you will have problems. Also, more a side note, I have found that you have to fully restart apache, not just a graceful, if either the Oracle server is restarted or the TNS listener is restarted. --Josh _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
