I don't have any idea where the error message comes from. Do you know how to fix it?
if you $ENV{ORACLE_HOME}='/your/path/here'; in startup.pl everything will
be ok. there doesnt seem to be any problem resulting from the error. i put up
with it for a year or so in my error.logs.
if you set it in your /etc/init.d/apache it seems to do the same thing
until apachectl reload during log maintence. i believe.

AuthCookieDBI Question
Is there any thinking about there being a security problem or the potential for one with Apache::AuthCookieDBI's Cookie name of Apache::AuthCookieDBI_[NAMEHERE] I from time to time look at the cookies my browsers collect and i have never seen anything simular. -- Gabriel C.

urls with session info
i have been trying to write a handler that will provide me with session data using the URL (eg, http://www.domain.com/$sessionid . $r-url) like the eagle books has on p246. in addition i am serving a cookie with that same $sessionid and then comparing to two $sessionid's in order to prevent the leaking referrer information and other problems. i am using apache::session::flex for my session information. i am running into a lot of operational problems and i think i am looking at restarting this little project of mine. i want to do this for caching of expensive personalized webpages for people would be great if i could. is there a a:session package already out there that does this? there sure are a lot of them. seems that there are none that manipulate the url however in the perltranshandler however. thanks

well the problem with a onsite url is that the handler would have to

returning DECLINED, which lets Apache handle the translation for you,
or map the filename yourself (as you do below) and return OK.
if I use this peice of code (solely as a way of trying to find the
problem) ...
sub handler {
my $r=shift;
$r-filename($r-document_root . $r-uri);

it's early here, and I haven't had my coffee yet, but what you're
written should be essentially the same as the short snipped I provided
(save the possibility of redirecting to an offsite URL).
your part (the DECLINED) works perfecto ... thanks again

which handler?
i want to make a apacher perlhandler method for location / (i think) that will check and see if my system state is ok (like database, jabber, and imap connectivity), and if not will redirect to another page. if everything is kosher i would like everything to move on like normal ... which handler method do i use for this. thanks --- Gabriel C.

this works great until i run into an Alias or a mod_rewite rule it seems.
what is the proper way to indicate success here? ora's writing apache
modules has this method and the method omitting '$r-filename()' line -
which i have not been able to get to work.
one step away from this .. perhaps a set of logic to act differently is
needed for different requests.
sub handler {
my $r=shift;
if(Apache::MonDiag($r) {
$r-filename($r-document_root . $r-uri);

DBD::RAM Woes
i am writing a little function (see hack below) that will allow me to
sort data for my CGI's easily (especially for multiple columns) ... ala
another function that works the CGI.pm aspect of things.
problem is that this function seems to (under mod_perl) duplicate the
rows that i pass to it (although it sorts all of them wonderfully). if i
castrate the function in order to see if the problem is elsewhere to
'sub sortcol {return shift}' it works just fine (although it doesnt sort
anything)
thanks for any help you guys can provide.
package Hacks;
use strict;
use DBI;
sub sortcol {
my body=@{$_[0]};
my ords=@{$_[1]};
my $cols = body;
my $table=tmptable;
my alpha=('a' .. 'zz');
my col_names;
my $dbh = DBI-connect('dbi:RAM:',,,{RaiseError = 0});
for my $i (0 .. $cols-1) {
push(col_names, $alpha[$i]);
}
$dbh-func({table_name = $table,
col_names = join(',',col_names),
data_type = 'ARRAY',
data_source = \@body,
}, 'import' );
my $orderby;
{
my tmp;
for my $ord (ords) {
my $ao=abs($ord);
push(tmp,
join(' ',
$alpha[$ao],
$ao==$ord ? ASC : DESC));
}
$orderby=join(', ', tmp);
}
# DBD::RAM 'export array' method broken?
my $sth = $dbh-prepare(SELECT * FROM $table ORDER BY $orderby);
$sth-execute();
my body;
while( my (cells) = $sth-fetchrow_array) {
push(body, \@cells);
}
$sth-finish();
$dbh-disconnect();

Apache::TalkBack
got any ideas on what this would do if i wrote it? basically the goal is to do the same thing netscape's talk back does. (whatever that is) so i would store a data::dump of the $ENV, apache request ($r) and the cgi param ($r), a Carp like $ of the bomb ... as well as the cgi name, and timestamp. then the user in charge of that cgi could look up those issues? --- Gabriel C.
