How big are your httpd's?

[Axel Andersson]

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask you how big your mod_perl enabled (v1) httpd's 
grow. I'm using a homegrown publication system based on Template 
Toolkit that delivers about 2000 Perl pages daily. After the first page 
load, the daemons consume around 7 MB of RAM each, but after 24 hours 
they've grown to something around 12 MB, with a record-holder of 16 MB.

To me this seems like quite a lot, but I would like to get some numbers 
from other people as to what's normal.

Thanks in advance,
Axel Andersson

[mp2] Building with Perl 5.6.1 dies

[Axel Andersson]

Hi,
sorry if this has already been discussed, just point me to archives then.

I'm building a last night CVS checkout of mod_perl 2 against a last 
night CVS checkout of apache 2 and Per 5.6.1. Here's what happens:

morris@melchior:/usr/src/modperl-2.0 perl Makefile.PL 
MP_APXS=/home/httpd2/bin/apxs
Reading Makefile.PL args from ARGV
MP_APXS = /home/httpd2/bin/apxs
Configuring Apache/2.0.37-dev mod_perl/1.99_02-dev Perl/v5.6.1
[snip: writing a lot of makesfiles, all seems well]

morris@melchior:/usr/src/modperl-2.0 make
cd src/modules/perl  make
make: don't know how to make 
/usr/libdata/perl5/i386-openbsd/5.6.1/CORE/libperl.so.6.1. Stop in 
/usr/src/modperl-2.0/src/modules/perl.
*** Error code 2

Dies at the first make command... Error in the makefile? Perl too old? I 
have no idea, clue me in.

Thanks in advance,
Axel Andersson

Cookies and redirects

[Axel Andersson]

Hello,
I'm having trouble with both setting a cookie and redirecting the user to
another page at the same time. It would appear the cookie is only sent
when a normal header is sent by server.

If I do the following (having baked the cookie first), where $r is the
Apache-request() object:

$r-content_type(text/html; charset=iso-8859-1);
$r-send_http_header();

I get this header:

  Connection: close
  Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 10:39:05 GMT
  Server: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
  Client-Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 10:39:05 GMT
  Client-Response-Num: 1
  Client-Transfer-Encoding: chunked
  Set-Cookie: user=12::7c786c222596437b; domain=animanga.nu; path=/;
expires=Wed, 
  12-Mar-2003 10:39:05 GMT

Very nice and all, with cookie set. However, doing:

$r-method_number(M_GET);
$r-method(GET);
$r-headers_in-unset(Content-length);
$r-headers_out-add(Location = /users.pl);
$r-status(REDIRECT);
$r-send_http_header();

Which I gather is the normal way to redirect a user, I get this header:

  Connection: close
  Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 10:38:36 GMT
  Server: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
  Client-Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 10:38:36 GMT
  Client-Response-Num: 1
  Client-Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Right, no Set-cookie there. So what's up? How do I redirect a browser,
and set a cookie at the same time?

Thanks in advance,
Axel Andersson

About Apache::DBI

[Axel Andersson]

Hi

Okay, so I read up on Apache::DBI, but I still have a question or two.

Specifically, am I supposed to keep my use DBI, DBI-connect(), and
everything DBI related and not change a single thing in my source after
I've added Apache::DBI-connect_on_init() in startup.pl?

Right, I guess that's all. Thanks in advance,
Axel Andersson
