ANNOUNCE: Apache::OpenIndex 1.03

2001-10-26 Thread George Sanderson

OpenIndex provides a file manager for an Apache modperl web site from a web
browser. 
OpenIndex also provides the same functionality as autoindex, therefore it
can be used to both manage and navigate a web site.

An Apache::OpenIndex (OpenIndex-1.03.tar.gz) update was uploaded to CPAN on
25 Oct 2001.  The module can also be downloaded at:

http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex/

OpenIndex now supports Cascading Style Sheets and individual HTML tab
configurable attributes. For example, you can now add TAG attributes like:
TAG attributes
or add TAG text, like:
TAG  text /TAG

Two new directives were added to support this feature:
IndexHtmlTagtagattributes
IndexHtmlText   tagtext

The following tags have attribute support:
head style frameset noframe body table form font 
input textarea th tr hr h1 h2 h3 td a p

The following tags have text support:
frame noframe style

The FoldersFirst index option was also added.

Again, a demo is available at:


http://www.xorgate.com/Apache/OpenIndex/demo
Enjoy:)

I previously sent two messages today and they did not appear on the list.
So I am sending this message as a simple test.

For speed.

You want to hit the RDBMS as little as possibly; Berkeley DB makes a
good cache.

Newbie trying to use Apache::AuthenSmb

2001-10-26 Thread Jeroen Geusebroek

Hi there,

I'm very new with Perl; but i have found that there is a module that
allows my apache webserver
to authenticate users against a Windows DOMAIN.

This is Apache::AuthenSmb (But you probably already knew that :)

I followed the instructions to install modperl and I used CPAN to
download
Apache::AuthenSmb.

This all seems to have worked perfectly.

Although now when I followed the instructions on this website:

http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/security/howto/2000-02-18.html

to create a sample .htaccess file, I get this error in my apache
error-log:

[Tue Oct 23 19:37:22 2001] [error] Can't locate object method
get_basic_auth_pw via package Apache (perhaps you forg
ot to load Apache?) at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/AuthenSmb.pm line 12.

Does anyone have an idea about what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Jeroen Geusebroek

P.S. Please CC in your reply, i'm not currently a list member.

Benchmarks on server cluster

2001-10-26 Thread Issac Goldstand



I've just recieved an OK to do some Benchmarks on a 
server cluster of 16+1 (master) dual 450 Mhz machines (master node is dual 
650). I plan on doing benchmarks and comparing perfornance for the 
following setups, so far:

 Server cluster using httpd process on each 
individual node and front end round-robin scheme
 Singe server on master node using MOSIX 
and high volume of child processes
 Trying to think of method to test optimal 
performance on Beowolf type cluster

I will also try to play around with 
different Apache-2 setups if I can figure out how to do so...

If people have any suggestions for other things to 
test, or ways to test it, please let me know.

 I was told over the weekend by one of my old eToys cow-orkers that the
 current incarnation of www.etoys.com isn't running our old code.   Leave
 it to KB to buy all the code then not bother to use it.
 
 I understand that's also the reason they couldn't be bothered to migrate
 the old accounts over.
www.etoys.com looks extremely similar to www.kbtoys.com.  
Whoever is interested, it looks like they are using unix on
apache:

  does anyone know if this is the same mod_perl technology you guys wrote?
 
  I think it will make an interesting success story follow up if it is
  successful because it would also show how easy it was for the intellectual
  property written in mod_perl to be resold and reintegrated into another IT
  infrastructure which would make VCs happy (ie they would think more about
  being able to fund projects based on mod_perl if they know they could
  always resell the IP).

Because modperl-site is actually an alias to modperl-cvs list.
