Apache::ProxyStuff I believe the module was originally written to play will with domonio apps. We used it to have a mason back ended server playing with a php back ended server and then unifying the site.

Re: Newbie cookie question
Problem Solved ... ;) (yes I am an idiot, but keep that under your hat) I had the Apache::AuthCookieDBI's PerlSetVar WhatEverDomain variable set to PerlSetVar WhatEverDomain jeff.foo.com then I would make my request to http://localhost/LOGIN and the domain check would fail. That is why the cookie would not get set. see http://developer.netscape.com:80/docs/manuals/js/client/jsref/cookies.htm#1003254 Determining a Valid Cookie Jeff On Fri, Jan 05, 2001 at 03:52:47PM -0500, Geoffrey Young wrote: > > > > -Original Message- > > From: James Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 3:23 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Newbie cookie question > > > > Now that I have mod_perl installed I cannot pass any cookies > > like I used to. > > I have not changed any scripts [yet] and all use DBI connections to a > > postgres DB. > > > > a code snippet of how you set your cookies would be most helpful... > > be sure to check your outbound and inbound headers (either using telnet or > CPAN modules such as Apache::DumpHeaders or Apache::DebugInfo) to see what > is going on > > do you have PerlSendHeaders On? > > --Geoff Thanks, Jeff --- | "0201: Keyboard Error.

Re: the edge of chaos
this is not the solution... but it could be a bandaid until you find one. set the MaxClients # lower. # Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number # of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever # reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW. # It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking # the system with it as it spirals down... # MaxClients 150 >On Wed, Jan 03, 2001 at 10:25:04PM -0500, Justin wrote: > Hi, and happy new year! > > My modperl/mysql setup does not degrade gracefully when reaching > and pushing maximum pages per second :-) if you could plot > throughput, it rises to ceiling, then collapses to half or less, > then slowly recovers .. rinse and repeat.. during the collapses, > nobody but real patient people are getting anything.. most page > production is wasted: goes from modperl-->modproxy-->/dev/null > > I know exactly why .. it is because of a long virtual > "request queue" enabled by the front end .. people "leave the > queue" but their requests do not.. pressing STOP on the browser > does not seem to signal mod_proxy to cancel its pending request, > or modperl, to cancel its work, if it has started..

Apache::AuthCookieDBI BEGIN problems...??
Well been racking my brain against this one for awhile now..
so I figured that I would reach-out for some help ;)
First let me say
I am ashamed ... I twitled with the shiny bits.
the following code in the Apache::AuthCookieDBI module
does not work properly (for me).
-- code --
BEGIN {
my @keyfile_vars = grep {
$_ =~ /DBI_SecretKeyFile$/ } keys %{ Apache->server->dir_config() };
foreach my $keyfile_var ( @keyfile_vars ) {
my $keyfile = Apache->server->dir_config( $keyfile_var );
my $auth_name = $keyfile_var;
$auth_name =~ s/DBI_SecretKeyFile$//;
unless ( open( KEY, "<$keyfile" ) ) {
Apache::log_error( "Could not open keyfile for $auth_name in
file $keyfile" );
} else {
$SECRET_KEYS{ $auth_name } = ;
close KEY;
}
}
### MY DIRTY HACK
my $auth_name = "WhatEver";
$SECRET_KEYS{ $auth_name } = "thisishtesecretkeyforthisserver";
### END MY DIRTY HACK
}
-- end code --
Note that without MY DIRTY LITTLE HACK it does not set those two
variables. I am/was pretty sure that this somehow relates to
"StackedHandlers"
but
I built mod_perl statically with ALL_HOOKS=1 EVERYTHING=1
it is Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_01 configured
So after I set MY DIRTY LITTLE HACK. Things chug right along
i bind to the database I authenticate against the db.
until I/the module tries to set_cookie in the form
Set-Cookie:
Apache::AuthCookieDBI_WhatEver=jeff:2001-01-02-23-07-10:2001-01-02-23-12-10:2f8e147086c88e6771ac6751b5a1f25d;
path=/; domain=.jeff
So that makes me wonder if Date::Calc is installed correctly.
i.e. he module uses Date::Calc. also note that it installed fine.
I figured that the cookie problem could be a side effect of the
firt problem I mentioned.
ahh yes my config file is here for anyone who is intrested
Any clue's..??
Thanks,
Jeff

Unset PerlAuthenHandler (I wish)
Ok, essentially I want all but one directory on the server to be password protected. I want 1 directory to have the "I forgot my password" functionality. I am using Mason. and setting SetHandler default-handler has undesired results. i.e. mason files do not get parsed. Essentially I want to do this. Unset PerlAuthenHandler here is a portion of my conf file. -- AddType text/html .mhtm SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason AuthName "foo" AuthType Basic PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthDBI::authen PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthDBI::authz PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_data_source dbi:mysql:database=foo_external_site;host=localhost;port=3306 PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_username jsheffie PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_password fooo # DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $password) PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_pwd_table users PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_uid_field user_id PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_pwd_field password PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_grp_field groups #SELECT pwd_field FROM pwd_table WHERE uid_field=$user require valid-user ErrorDocument 401 /websites/foo.net/htdocs/passwd_forgoten/ SetHandler default-handler - Any ideas..??

Re: HTMLEmbperl - manually setting %fdat during runtime...
I do the following
http://172.17.30.38/Nactel/common/error.epl?application_id=[+
$fdat{'application_id'} +]
then "error.epl will have the $fdat{'application_id'} = 'some value';
