 basically the whole thing is starting to bite its own tail and i would be
 very happy if anybody could give me any pointers as to why CGI won't read
 my data from the PerlInitHandler or after Apache::Request read them.

I seem to remember a post where someone had trouble because he was
trying to access POSTed data twice... problem was that once the POSTed
data was read, that was it.

Maybe it's something similar?

Mod_Perl Compilation with HPUX Native CC

2002-07-02 Thread Chandrasekhar R S

Hello everyone,
I must compile Mod_perl on HPUX 11.0 with HPUX's native CC, instead of gcc.

Are there any configuration parameters need to be set such that Mod_Perl is
compiled using cc.

Thanks

I don't know if mod_perl will compile with HP-UX cc, but if you want to 
try, you must first of all have a perl binary compiled with cc. Then 
mod_perl should pick that automatically.

[ANNOUNCE] New mod_perl site Release Candidate 1

2002-07-02 Thread Per Einar Ellefsen

What?
-

As you may know, the work on the new mod_perl site started in
September 2001, and after almost a year we are glad to present to you
the outcome of this work. The new site's goal wasn't only to create a
nice design, but mainly to improve its documentation organization and
navigational aspects, because of the ever growing amount of
documentation that the mod_perl community generates.

We have now come to the point where we are very satisfied with the
design and overall usability of the site, so we are proud to announce
the Release Candidate 1. Depending on the feedback from you, the site
may undergo some minor fixes if there are problems and will eventually
be released for you all to use.

Where?
--

RC1 is now located at this URL:

  http://perl.apache.org/release/

When the Release Candidate gets all its bugs rolled out, it will
replace the existing mod_perl site:

  http://perl.apache.org/

What Problems To Report?


Throughout development, the site has been tested extensively on many
different OS/browser combinations: Unix, MacOS and Windows. However,
we couldn't test with every possible browser/platform combination, so
it's possible that certain combinations are problematic.

This is why we ask for your help: take some time to browse the site,
and take note of:
- errors with browsers (crashes and/or rendering problems)
- usability: are you satisfied with the navigation and organization
   of the content?
- your general satisfaction with how the site is.

Before sending your feedback, please remember that the site has been
designed with respect to the HTML 4.0 and CSS 2 standards, and it is
therefore possible that the rendering might be flawed in some browsers
that do not follow these standards, either because they are old (and
these standards didn't exist at the time of their release) or simply
broken. However, we still tried to make the site usable for these
browsers, which also somewhat restricted us in deploying the standards
to their full extent.

So if you see a rendering problem in a browser that is known not to
support these standards, but the site is still usable, you may have to
live with that and possibly you will need to consider upgrading your
browser.

The text browsers lynx and links seem to work fine with the new
site, please report any problems with other text browsers that we
didn't have a chance to test with.

The punchline, is that you should remember that we don't claim that
the site is perfect and it's still much better than the existing
one. We will *not* try to provide a solution for every browser out
there, because we simply don't have the resources for that, and we
don't want to maintain a dozen css style sheets to accomodate for
idiosyncrasies of every browser. However, we do want to get it to work
as best as possible for everyone.

Also we would like to remind you that you've had many chances to
influence the overall design of the site and at this point it's too
late to suggest drastic changes, so please stick to bug reports since
we want to release the new site soon. If you've ideas for the future
generations of the site, please consider bringing them up after this
site is released.

Where to report?


Before reporting a problem, first please check whether the problem
that you've have been reported already here:

 http://perl.apache.org/ISSUES

If your issue is already listed, please do not submit it again.

For a list of working OS/browser combinations, see here:

 http://perl.apache.org/STATUS

Otherwise please post the description of the problem to the docs-dev
list:

  http://perl.apache.org/release/maillist/docs-dev.html

To post, send an e-mail to:

  docs-dev (at) perl.apache.org

You do not have to be subscribed to post, but your message will have
to be approved first so it might take some hours before it gets to the
list.

When reporting, we will need as detailed information as possible:
- Operating System's name and version
- browser's name and version
- a detailed report of the *exact* problem you are having
- if you have a rendering problem please provide a snapshot, though
   please try to keep the snapshot's size small.

If the site is working OK for you, and it's not listed at
http://perl.apache.org/STATUS , you can send us an OK report so that
we know what works and what doesn't.

Please be as precise as possible to help us find out the problem and
fix it. Furthermore, if you know hot to fix the problem, we will
appreciate that.

When the new site goes live?


If there will be no major bugs hopefully in about 1-2 weeks.

The logo  banners and the buttons use a different version of the logo
(with _ or without).  I don't care which one we use, but we should be
consistant.  It's branding after all...

The logo at the top of the page also uses a different weighting on the

Mod_Perl on Win2k Install Problems

2002-07-02 Thread Nigel Peck

I am having a lot of trouble getting Mod_Perl 1.27 up and running on Win
2k with Apache 1.3.26 and ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 Build 631.

I am trying to compile by following the instructions in install.win32
(to the letter) using Visual C++ 6 as instructed. The makefile.pl runs
fine and so does the nmake (does it matter if it's nmake or nmake
install?). I then try to follow the instructions for building the .so in
C++ and when I come to building it I get errors with building
ModuleConfig.c.

I have tried both the C++ method and the command line method,
specifying the Apache and Apache Modules directory and neither work.

I have also done it on 2 separate machines and I get the same errors.

TIA
Nigel

Re: Mod_Perl on Win2k Install Problems

2002-07-02 Thread Nigel Peck

I think I've sorted it, the problem seems to have been as follows.

I needed the latest Service Pack for Visual Studio 6.

and

The compiler doesn't seem to like having include directories on a
different partition, it was using a relative path to try and find
perl56.lib but it was on a different partition so no amount of ../ was
going to find it.

That's what it look like at the minute anyway (no quite got it going
yet but getting there) at least I have a mod_perl.so now :-)

[ANNOUNCE] Apache::Clean 0.05

2002-07-02 Thread Geoffrey Young

The URL

http://www.modperlcookbook.org/~geoff/modules/Apache-Clean-0.05.tar.gz

has entered CPAN as

   file: $CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GEOFF/Apache-Clean-0.05.tar.gz
   size: 5419 bytes
md5: f5b5bf3b6c0ba9839e8d72348388f9ca


This release _should_ solve problems that arise when you want mix both 
HTML and other MIME types (such as plain) in a common directory served 
by Apache::Clean as part of an Apache::Filter pipeline.  The issue is 
basically that no filter in the chain can ever return DECLINED, since 
doing so mucks with Apache::Filter magic.  So we do some gymnastics to 
  make everything work out ok (which may serve as an interesting 
example for others that want to do the same thing).

[OT] Better Linux server platform: Redhat or SuSe?

2002-07-02 Thread Gerd Knops

Hi,

Sorry for this somewhat OT post (though it may be of general interest).

I am currently maintaining a WAN (4 continents) consisting of FreeBSD 
machines. While I am quite happy with FreeBSD, lack of driver support for 
some boards I need to use forces me to switch to Linux. And while the Pros 
often seem to favor Debian, the drivers I need (binary only) seem to be 
best tested with/easiest available for Redhat and SuSe, which is why I am 
looking especially at those two.

This is strictly for server use, so problems with X, compatibility with 
new-fangled video boards and other Desktop-OS related problems are not the 
issue here.

Besides general observations I am specifically interested in answers to 
these questions:

Apache/modperl installation and updates: I assume installation is straight 
forward, how about keeping current? As those are remotely administered 
platforms, chances are the OS may not be kept current. So is it still easy 
to deal with security updates (Apache, sshd, bind etc) when the platform 
is a couple of years old? With FreeBSD this has become somewhat harder 
lately (still running 3.x, but the ports system doesn't support 3.x any 
longer).

Remote maintability: Is it possible to remotely upgrade between OS 
versions for either of those platforms (not a must, but would be a plus)?

Sendmail: Does the system make it easy to replace sendmail with another 
mailer of choice (qmail in my case)?

Footprint: Is it easy to weed out unused system components to have a 
smaller footprint of the OS? Or does that mean fighting the installer left 
and right?

perl: Any iussues with perl/modperl? Besides modperl I will be running a 
perl application with a few hundred thousend lines of code...

Security: Is it easy to 'tie down' the system?

Software-based RAID 1: Is it usable (only for a data partition, not 
required for the root partition)? Is it easy to recover from a broken disk?

Robustness: While almost all systems I have are/will be on UPSs, they 
still tend to occasionally be 'unplugged' (not shut down cleanly), be it 
due to an empty or dead UPS battery, someone tripping over or accidentaly 
unplugging the power cable etc. etc. Does the system tend to survive the 
then due fsck without manual intervention? Better yet, would it be 
possible to mount / and /usr read-only, and have a /var partition that (if 
the worst should happen) can be recreated on the fly?

Any other oddities one should be aware of?

Thanks much for any input

Gerd
