AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Varaible scope
memory under mod_perl
I have a module that I built on my own to handle
user authentication. At the moment, every perl script that I have calls
a method in this module using a cookie (Supplied by browser) as an
argument. Eventually I want to turn this into a mod_perl handler which
instead of returning the autherized user information (in a scalar called $uid)
will add a key to $ENV containing the authorized user id.
However, for the moment I have trouble in that
the $uid variables (or possibly the $cookie variables) are being remembered
between callings of the scripts. This results in unauthenticated users
recieving access t incorrect accounts. (Even authenticated users get
other peoples accounts occasionally).
In short, the module is called
TFile::Authenticate, and it has a "use" line in my mod_perl startup script, to
maximize persistance and minimize compile/load time. Additionally, each
cgi script (for they are still all scripts) "use"s the module.
Basically, the common authorization code in each
script looks something like this:
my $q=new CGI;my
$cookid=$q-cookie('sessionlid');if (!(defined($cookid))) {print
"Location: /login.html\r\n\r\n";exit;}my $uid=eval 'check_auth($cookid);';
#The above line calls the authentication script
which will return a valid $uid or undef if not validif (!(defined($uid)))
{print "Location: /login.html\r\n\r\n";exit;}my
$cookie=$q-cookie(-name="sessionlid",-value=$cookid,-expires=expdate_auth($cookid));
The scripts then proceed to do their work and
when they return content, contain the command
print STDOUT "Set-Cookie:
$cookie\r\n";
Now I _know_ that some of the variables are being
persistant, because when doing a telnet localhost 80, and requestinga
script,I actually got a responseincluding a cookie for a valid
authentication. Now, I'm still really not sure about
howthepersistance works, so I suppose I could just do something
like:
my $uid=undef;
my $cookid=undef;
my $cookie=undef;
...
If I include that at the beginning of all of the scripts, it could work,
but it seems to me to be a bit messy; I'm sure there's a better way.
Additionally, can anyone think of a better way toadd a handler to
the existing TFile::Authenticate module for mod_perl scripts, while leaving
the public interfaces open fornormal CGI (or any other) scripts?
Thanks,
Issac

RE: [OT] unsubscribing was Re: Varaible scope memory under mod_perl
First of All, I would like to thank you all for quick responses. This is my situation. I originally joined this list as another user (having different user email account). Now I got those emails from the alias of my original account. If I just send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I believe that it does not help because I never joined the list as my current email. How could I unsubscribe my original account by my current email. Is there any way I could put my original email in the body or somewhere.

The people that have to ask these questions usually don't have full headers turned on. Why not put it at the bottom of each email instead of the headers like some other lists do?

Re: Missing src/include/alloc.h ?
Hi Gang:
First of all, i would like to apologize this email for non-modperl question. I
really have trouble to
find correct discussion group to ask help. The question is:
I wrote a perl script to send out my postcard for over 300 my friends. The
textbody is my postcard which is html file
including over 30 images. I want all of my friends see the postcard immediately
but not html file. I tried and tested. My friends
just got html file not postcard. How can i do that? I know that if you send it
from netscape message, you have choice using
send html but i have to write script for over 300 people. Is any way to do
that? Thank you very much for advices. Enclude
is the original script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$|=1;
$body = `cat ./test.html`;
open(ADDR, "./testaddr");
while(ADDR) {
$all_info = $_;
($addressee,$lastname,$firstname) = split(/\|/,$all_info);
#$addressee =~ s/^\s+//;
#$addressee =~ s/\s+$//;
#$comment =~ s/^\s+//;
#$comment =~ s/\s+$//;
if($addressee =~ /\@/) {
chop $firstname;
open( OUTPUT, "| /usr/lib/sendmail -oi " . $addressee ) ;
select( OUTPUT ) ;
print "To: $firstname $lastname $addressee\n" ;
print "From: Postcard_Center\@test\.com\n";
print "Subject: Win A Free Visit from TEST.COM\n\n";
print "\nDear $firstname $lastname,\n\n\n";
print "$body\n";
}
}
close(ADDR);
exit(1);
testaddr is text file for all of email address.
test.html is body which is html file.
I hope that my friends can see my postcard not html source. Thank you very
much.
Steven.

Re: Web server log wrong time.
Hi Jim: We are starting httpd web server as root, then spawn httpd as www. They all have timezone setup as CDT. I checked the date from different shell. They are all correct. I have /etc/localtime pointing to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central. I don't know why it uses raw clock. Thank you very much. Steven.

Thank you very much... are you running httpd as yourself or another user? The 5 hour time difference sounds like it's using the raw clock and no timezone...

Re: Web server log wrong time.
Hi Tom: Thank you for your quick answer. Actually i set my machine timezone point to - /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Centeral. This is why my machine system time is correct without any problem. If my script runs from command line, it is also correct. The only problem comes from web server which logs wrong time and shows wrong time on broswer. Is anyway to make web server timezone same as system timezone. How could web server has different timezone? Is anywasy to reset web server timezone in httpd.conf or somewhere else. Thank you very much. Steven...

Wrong Time
Hi All: We have a script to output time and date. It used to work fine. Since upgrdaing modperl (both apache and modperl are most recent version), the script shows wrong time. If i run the script from command line, it wroks fine without any problem. I test that from IE and Netscape. Both show same wrong time. I am sure that the problem comes from web server. How can i fix this problem. We installed web server many times. I don't rememeber that any configurations need to deal with time issue. If anybody knows that, would you please share your fix with me. Thank you very much. Steven.
Re: document contained no data
I posted the message again because it didn't work when i put $| = 1; or $r-rflush() at top or around print statement as some people suggested. It is very confused. it should work without putting those things. The thing affects performance. What i need to do, your any answers would be very much appreciated. Steven Steven Zhu wrote: Hi, All: We have a coffee site with apache_1.3.9, modperl_1.2.1 and mysql database. It works fine in most time. But sometimes it is strange. For instance, the same script works fine sometimes, but sometimes it popups a window with message "The document contained no data Try again later, or contact the server's administrator". It seems that the print statement does not work fine. Any idea. Thank in advance for your quick reply. Steven.
Re: Modperl Test Problem and Redhat6.2 Apache::DBI strange thing. Thanks.
Thank you for your quick answer. Is any way to find the thread about this issue quickly? I got most recent modperl and apache. I did all as you said as root. But test is always problem. I has another machine. The machine has no problem for any version modperl and apache at all, always pass test. I guess that we missed something. But it does not make sense because this professional OS redhat6.2 is preinstalled on machine, should include all necessary libraries... I have no idea, compiler does not complain any thing, even no warnings or errors... For redhat modperl rpm installation, i did not put PerlModule Apache::DBI httpd.conf. Why i still can connect database(most time it is fine, but sometimes it is not fine.) because i put PerlModule Apache::DBI in httpd.conf. The web server does not startup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Steven. Drew Taylor wrote: Steven Zhu wrote: Hi All: Thank you all for taking time to read this message. I got two things that i really don't understand. 1.

I remember a recent thread about this in the list. Try searching the archives. You might also try running make test as root, rather than a normal user. I could be wrong, but the right answer was given by Doug(?). 2. Since i can't get my new modperl running. I just use modperl coming with redhat6.2. The weired thing is that if i put PerlModule Apache::DBI in httpd.conf, the web server can not startup. If i take that out, the server can connect with database ( because i put use DBI; in perl script file?). But i can't get persistent connections, sometimes it can connect with database (mysql), sometimes it can't connect database with the following errors I noticed this problem with Apache::DBI with the redhat mod_perl RPM. It would just silently die, with no visible errors. The first thing to do is pull the latest Apache and mod_perl source distributions (1.3.12 1.24) and compile it yourself. See the guide for instructions - go ahead and use the "10 minutes to mod_perl" instructions. -- Drew Taylor Vialogix Communications, Inc. 501 N.
