authentication realms in http and https
We recently upgraded our webserver from Apache 1.3.6 / modperl 1.19 to Apache 1.3.27 / modperl 1.27 We use a .htaccess file in a directory to have a modperl script do authentication for directory access (for downloading files, etc.). It also redirects the user from http to https if he does not come in through https. On our old server, the user would only see the browser's login box once when he came in through http and was redirected to https. On the new server, however, the user has to login twice. But if the user comes in through https on the new server, there is only one login. So my guess is that the new server is not treating an authentication realm in http as the same as one in https. So, my question is... Is this different treatment of the http/https authentication realms something that changed in the newer version of modperl (or possibly apache)? Or is this something that can be changed through configuration options? (and also... is my analysis even correct? :) ) Thanks! -Jason Fong
How do I have a PerlAuthenHandler not popup the login box?
I'm making a login system that uses a web form instead of the browser's popup box to input the username/password. My problem is that when I use my authentication script as a PerlAuthenHandler in the .htaccess, it insists on having the browser show the popup username/password box. I tried making a simple handler function that just returns OK, but I still get the login box. My guess is that using the PerlAuthenHandler automatically sends a AUTH_REQUIRED to the browser so that the login box appears. I found a solution to this by changing the PerlAuthenHandler to a PerlAccessHandler. Is this the correct way to avoid the login box? Or is there a way for a PerlAuthenHandler to not popup a login box?

Re: cookie setting/retieval
Enrico,
If I do migrate to Apache::SessionManager will this problem disappear? I
started looking into the transformation and it appears as if it will be a
good bit of work to accomplish the entire cutover and I just want to make
for sure that it's not something I'd have to build into my app anyway.
The reason I ask is because I was having some trouble with the
configuration? After putting the following into the httpd.conf file
## BEGIN CONFIGURATION
PerlRequire /usr/local/apache/conf/startup.pl
PerlWarnOn
PerlFreshRestart On
PerlModule Apache::SessionManager
PerlTransHandler Apache::SessionManager

PerlSetVar SessionManagerExpire 120
PerlSetVar SessionManagerInactivity 900
PerlSetVar SessionManagerName SESSION_ID
PerlSetVar SessionManagerStore File
PerlSetVar SessionManagerStoreArgs "Directory => /tmp/sessions"
PerlSetVar SessionManagerDebug 0

allow from all
and using the code
## BEGIN CODE
sub validate {
my $r=shift;
my $cgi=new CGI;
my $session = Apache::SessionManager::get_session($r);
if (($$session{logged_in} eq "Y")){
return $session;
}else{
print $cgi->redirect('http://' . $ENV{HTTP_HOST} .
'/perl/sess.cgi');
return $session;
}
}
I always get the error:
Can't locate object method "pnotes" via package "" at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/SessionManager.pm line 202,
line 28.
I'm sure I'm going about something wrong, but I seem to have hit a
roadblock.do I need to write my own handler for this?
thnx,

cookie setting/retieval
I'm currently in the process of writing a wrapper
for a site using Apache::Session and mod_perl. I was having great success
using the following code to either validate a cookie which was already present
or set a new cookie if necessary:
my $r =
Apache->request; my $cookie =
$r->header_in('Cookie'); my
$cgi = new CGI;
$cookie
=~ s/SESSION_ID=(\w*)/$1/;
# create the
session from the cookie or create a new one
my
%session; tie %session,
'Apache::Session::File', $cookie,
{
Directory =>
'/tmp/sessions', };
my
$session_cookie =
"SESSION_ID=$session{_session_id};";
$r->header_out("Set-Cookie" => $session_cookie);
Now...this works like a charm, passing the cookie
and reading the sessionas long as all of the pages are on the same level of
the tree...i.e. :
http://www.yoursite.com/perl/hithere.cgi
http://www.yoursite.com/perl/ilovecookies.cgi
http://www.yoursite.com/perl/monkey.cgi
Howeveras soon as you move to anything below
that:
http://www.yoursite.com/perl/cookies/bananna.cgi
http://www.yoursite.com/perl/cookies/arenolongercool.cgi
I receive the following error (from the
error_log):
"Died at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm line
40"
By using Mozilla's cookie manager I see that the
path attribute of the cookie set in the browser is changed from:
"/perl/"
to:
"/perl/cookies/"
...but I can't seem to figure out why
Apache::Session isn't using the combination of the SESSION_ID and the directory
stated in the tie() (/tmp/sessions) to retrieve the cookie...the SESSION_ID
hasn't changed?
Thnx much!

Addition of directory to @INC variable via startup script/mod_perl
I currently have the following
configuration in my httpd.conf file:
PerlRequire

On PerlFreshRestart On
PerlTransHandler Apache::SessionManager PerlFreshRestart

script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use lib
qw(/usr/local/apache/require);
use
Apache::Registry(); use CGI(); use
CGI::Session(); use CGI::Carp(); use
DBI(); use Net::LDAP();
$ENV{MOD_PERL} or die
"not running under mod_perl!";
1;
When I stop/start the server and run a
script with the following code:
foreach $item (@INC)
{ print ($item .
""); }
I only get the output:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .
?? I can't seem to find any rhyme or
reason why the directory "/usr/local/apache/require" isn't on the @INC
array?
Any help is greatly
appreciated.according to all documentation I can find this should actually
work. I'm hoping that I'm doing something terribly stupid :).

Re: [mp2] changing http:// to https: in TransHandler
sorry if OT..
Hi Nick,
please tell me I'm wrong (I'll be a happy camper), but I thought that you
couldn't use name virtual server for SSL.
Name server requires HTTP/1.1 which supplies a Host header so the server can
tell which virtual server you want. With SSL this header is encrypted so
apache can't read it to know which virtual server it's for.
Or does it work this way by defaulting to the first virtual server listening
on port 443?
Or is Apache2 doing something funky to make this work?
..again, I really would like to be wrong about this. I host from home on ADSL
and thought I'd have to pay for more IP's if I wanted to secure a section of
my site.

}
return Apache::DECLINED;
}
1;
Which is great, but there is *no* $r->url. I know there is a $r->uri, but
how can I get to the whole ball of wax: from http://...? I can't find
it in the docs.
Aloha => Beau;
Beau:
I _just_ went through this on my system. You would probably want to use
the following to change the URI as you wish:
my $uri = APR::URI->parse($r->pool, $r->construct_url);
$uri->scheme('https');
my $new_uri = $uri->unparse;
However, the overall strategy is probably not what you want, due to the
way SSL works. When a browser requests a secure connection, the SSL
connection (to the secure port) is established _before_ even the HTTP
connection. Thus it is impossible to change the scheme (http vs https)
once you have arrived at your server. The only way to do this with a Perl
handler is to generate a 302 external redirect.
mod_rewrite can be complicated, sure, but I do think it's the way to
go in this situation. You need:
- two sub-domains in DNS, let's say www.my_domain.com and secure.my_domain.com
- a sub-directory /secure in your webdocs root (or something else able to matched with
a regex)
- the following in your httpd.conf:
Listen 80
Listen 443
NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.789:80
NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.789:443
ServerName www.my_domain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /secure/
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://secure.my_domain.com/$1 [R,L]
ServerName secure.my_domain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/secure
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.my_domain.com/$1 [R,L]
This allows you to have relative links on all your pages. All links on
www.my_domain.com will point to http://www. on port 80, and all links on
secure.my_domain.com will point to https://secure. on port 443. The server
will simply rewrite and redirect all links that do not match either
/secure/ or !/secure.
Hope this helps,
- nick
PS If you have more than one domain needing to use https, you can put it
on an arbitrary port so long as you configure the server (not apache) to
listen on it, and then hard-code the port number in the mod_rewrite rule.

win32 mod_perl 1 and perl 5.8
G'day, ATM we're working on a win32 platform with apache 1.3.27, Perl 5.6, and mod_perl 1.27_01. I was reading the OS specific documentation at: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/os/win32/multithread.html and discovered that with this particular setup mod_perl is effectively single threaded. The page above doesn't actually explain why but I'm assuming it's because of threading issues with Perl 5.6? Does anyone know if mod_perl for win32 will be updated to work with Perl 5.8 and whether this will fix the single threaded problem mentioned above?

Re: Dynamlcally loading modules at run-time
Hi Jochen, I'd recommend having a read of this http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Sharing_Memory Not sure how much it applies to your situation, but basically, unless the different modules are very large and rarely used you really want to load them all at server startup. That way your server processes will be sharing the majority of your code and memory use will be optimised increasing the number of server processes you'll be able to run. Loading more modules after startup will increase the size of each process independantly, increasing your overall memory use. cheers, J Jochen Lillich wrote: > Hi, > > I'm writing my first mod_perl handler.

Dual Apache setups
I'm messing around with apache 2.0 and modperl 1.99 and Haven't been able to come across any docs that state that I would or would not need a dual apache setup for high load sites. I wish to have apache 2.0 threaded. currently my setup is Apache 1.3.26 with mod_ssl and mod_proxy and mod_rewrite and all other unnecessary modules not compiled in. and for dynamic requests, it proxys them to the back end as suggested by the mod_perl guide, very please with this performance and memory usage. Was wondering what is the statues of such a configuration with apache 2.x.x. -- Jason Czerak
Re: PerlChildInitHandler doesn't work inside VirtualHost?
(I found a better way to do what I wanted, avoiding PerlChildInitHandler completely, but still...) My reason for wanting PerlChildInitHandler (and PerlChildExitHandler) inside VirtualHost is to be able to keep these declarations close to the PerlHandlers that rely on them. I like to put my VirtualHost conf sections inside separate Include config files so that I can leave the main httpd.conf fairly static. If ChildInitHandler is not allowed inside VirtualHost, it should generate an exception when the config file is parsed. Instead, it silently ignores the declaration. -Jason Cees Hek wrote: >Quoting Jason W May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > >>Running mod_perl 1.26 on Apache 1.3.24. >> >>I've found that if I place my PerlChildInitHandler inside a VirtualHost >>block, it is never called. >> >> > >It doesn't really make sense to put a PerlChildInitHandler inside a VirtualHost >directive.

Running mod_perl 1.26 on Apache 1.3.24. I've found that if I place my PerlChildInitHandler inside a VirtualHost block, it is never called. This works: ... PerlModule Foo PerlChildInitHandlerFoo::handler ... PerlHandler MyModule ... but this doesn't: PerlModule Foo PerlChildInitHandlerFoo::handler ...

Understanding why this "fixes" my perlaccess script
Hi folks,
I use the following modperl script to control page
access, based on a sessionid held in a cookie. A
database is queried to get the user id from the db
based on the cookie value. (No cookie, and your
bounced to the logon screen).
So far so good, and all works well. Except for one
user id (actually id=333), which causes an "internal
server error". If I put print debugging lines in -
everything works (even for user 333). If I take them
out again all other users work fine except 333.
Can anybody throw any light on this??
BTW: when the "internal server error" happens there is
no log of it in the error_log - although the HTTP
response code in access_log is 333 (which I don't
think is a valid response code).
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
The code is: -
package My::Package;
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use CGI::Cookie;
use DBI;
sub handler {
open (DBG, ">>/tmp/debug.txt"); # DEBUG LINE
my $r = shift;
my %cookies =
CGI::Cookie->parse($r->header_in('Cookie'));
return (FORBIDDEN) unless $cookies{'SessionID'};
my $SessionID = $cookies{'SessionID'}->value;
...
stuff to set up the DBI connection
...
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("
SELECT id from session
WHERE field = '$SessionID'
");
$sth->execute;
my $answer = $sth->fetchrow;
print DBG "The id is $answer\n"; # DEBUG LINE
$sth->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;
return (FORBIDDEN) unless $answer;
close (DBG);

Re: Can mod_perl help me use ENV variables in httpd.conf?
You'll also need to use a PerlPassEnv directive prior to your block.
For debug purposes, try adding the following inside your block:
print join("\n", map { "$_ => $ENV{$_}" } (keys %ENV)), "\n";
OR, my personal quick-debugging catch-all:
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%ENV;
You'll be able to see what is available in %ENV when running under
mod_perl. See also Chapter 9, page 498 of the Eagle.

mod_perl Basic Authentication problem using PerlAuthenHandler
In httpd.conf i have
PerlAccessHandler ApacheAuthentication
PerlSetVar Intranet "65.103.229.188 => joe, 10.10.10.2 => userB"
PerlAuthenHandler ApacheAuthentication
AuthName realm
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
And my module is
package ApacheAuthentication;
#use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use Apache::URI;
use Apache::File;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
# get user's authentication credentials
my ($res, $sent_pw) = $r->get_basic_auth_pw;
return $res if $res != OK;
my $user = $r->connection->user;
# authenticate through DBI
my $reason = authen_dbi($r, $user, $sent_pw);
if ($reason) {
$r->note_basic_auth_failure;
$r->log_reason($reason, $r->uri);
return AUTH_REQUIRED;
}
warn "FINISHED $user $sent_pw";
return OK;
}
It warns to the log file and returns But the problem is, why does my browser come
up "forbidden"
Has anybody gotten this to sucessfully work?

Cuz I had the EXACT same porblem. The problem was 'fixable' in CGI.pm. Look at the init() procedure. scroll down to line 453 where is calls read_from_client() (version 2.79 but is in all versions of CGI.pm). Now what I did was remove the reference to the STDIN filehandle and BINGO. things worked fine. But I found that that was unacceptable to modify the CGI.pm source. But that means reference handling was incorrect. I went and put alot of debugging stuff in read_from_client() and confirmed that the read() call was getting nothing returned becuase there wasn anything in the file handle that was passed to it. I 'thought' I had 2 exact matching systems. the one on the web server (that was having this problem) and my workstation/dev box. My dev box worked perfectly fine. At this point I was fed up with this and I started recompiling things. :) started with perl. This time I just ran ./configure and held down the "Enter" button (making sure I compiled libperl.so tho). remove the current perl tree frm the system compleatly. installed it. reinstalled all modules that I needed. That solved any problems. things run perfectly now. The only differnece is that I must of enabled multi-threading support because there was that 'thread' directory tree present. -- Jason Czerak

now that's funny!
ok, so I was babbling.. try this. A simple perl script useing
Crypt::OpenPGP runs fine from the command line while the same subroutine
used in a mod_perl module on the same machine crashes. Why? Its nothing
to do with global variables, multiple runs, or random occurances.
I put a warn statement into Crypt::Primes to show the offending variable
$B represented as 'B'. The only line I can find in Crypt::Primes that
sets the value of $B is:
my $B = floor ( $c_opt * ( $k ** 2 ) );
'floor' is imported from Math::Pari which according to the docs does not
use any enviromental variables.
Throughout the run from the commandline $B remains an everchanging
integer, while during the mod_perl run it suddenly becomes something
else (37e5156f in the example below) subsequently crashing the program
when it is involved in a numeric comparison.
and, yeh, if no one else has any suggestions this time, I'll drop it.
Thanks, Tom, for the nudge I needed to get this far..

mod_perl, OpenPGP & Math::Pari
OK, this has got me stumped.. so it just has to be something obvious.. I am attemting to use Crypt::OpenPGP to encrypt some data. To do this I need to generate some keys.. (ok that's all obvious too..get to the point, J) On my development server everything runs fine producing useable public & private keys. I've added a subroutine to my lil web system (running on mod_perl) that takes the required arguements and feeds them to OpenPGP's keygen method. On our production server this dies with the message "[error] PARI: *** incorrect type in comparison. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Crypt/Primes.pm line 683." Now what's really got me stumped, is feeding the same sub with the same arguements in an independant perl script run from the command line on the production (and development) server runs fine and produces usable public & private keys. My only guess is that somehow mod_perl on the production server is using a different library of modules than perl run from the command line is using but I can't believe that I wouldn't have had troubles long ago if that were the case. Anyone? any clues on where to start looking?

running with full caching enabled and fully persistant code base for the cart. My average transaction time is about .08 of a second. That leads me to think that my machine can handle 10 html page generations a second (this isn't an exact science, but close). Now, As with the bug I think I am having with text::template. I'm using STDOUT when I compile the template and execute all call backs and sql queries and the such fixes things for now. (the buffering bit it can use to compile the output into a varable is not working, it process the output of the perl API and prints it in the incorrect spot, the beginning of the output). Second feature that I'm not using is caching of output. The caching I'm wondering how to handle it. I would need this text::template buffering bit to work better first before I can use the caching. But I found a few nice mod_perl aware caching tools on CPAN that I'll use to do caching. 3rd. my sql queries are not the most optimized and mostly tossed together. But then again my developemnt tables are not that big at all. Keep in mind that my times are based also on the time it takes to make the transmission of the data from server to client as well as the time it takes to compile the template and do sql queries. I"m not sure if your times are factoring that in. Locally times are .08/sec but remotely from T1 to cable times are .16/sec to .20/sec depending on network conditions and size of html file at the time naturally. Some of the html files can be about 50K in size we found. Also, pages will do about 3 sql queries on average plus queries to the Apache::Session state information. Do these numbers sound right? There are places were I could move from doing SQL to keeping some data in Apache::Session. but it would be small speed improments unless the catagories are very deep, I do have recursive SQL queries inplace for some things. Your talking 50 to 60/sec as slow. So I dunno what is 'fast'. I do plan on release this cart GPL one of these days once I know it works. And I do plan on having a web site explaining it in full detail. If anyone is interested right now in the development of it. Give me a ring. I'll be glad to get some help with it. (expecially with fedex, ups shipping calcs :) ) If anyone would like to see a working site using the cart that I am working on. It's over at http://www2.test.jasnik.net. -- Jason Czerak
Re: Apache::Filter Help Please!!
AHAH!!! I found it.. thanks, your example showed the difference.
What it was is that I was sending my header before my final filter, which as
I now am guessing, maps STDOUT, which this needs. I'm recommending to the
author to put a note in about where the headers should be printed.
Thanks for your help, definately made the difference

Re: Apache::Filter Help Please!!
ok, that make sense, so I modified my filter1 to just register the filter, print out some text, and return ok, that's it. and it still doesn't print anything if filter2 comes after it?

Apache::Filter Help Please!!
Please see if you notice anything glaringly wrong in what I'm doing.
Basically my problem is that my filter isn't passing data along, eg what I
print in filter1 isn't getting output, even though filter2 get's the
filehandle and loops over it. My setup is pretty akin to what the docs offer
in the synopsis.
in httpd.conf
--
PerlModule Apache::Filter
SetHandler perl-script
PerlSendHeader ON
PerlSetVar Filter On
PerlHandler Filter1 Filter2
in the filters
---
sub handler
{
my $r = shift;
$r = $r->filter_register();
my ($fh, $status) = $r->filter_input();
return $status unless $status == OK;
while(<$fh>)
{
print;
}
print "Filter 2"; #filter 1 has "filter1", obviously
return OK;
}
now, according to what I've read, this should print out the "Filter 1Filter
2", which is what I need to let me get real work done, but all I get is
Filter 2. So all powerful list, WTF am I missing (it's gotta be something
obvious, it always is).

Apache::DBI fails to load
First off, if you could cc responses to me, that would be great.
On to the problem. I compiled apache 1.3.20 from sources, w/ the
following compiled statically:mm 1.1.3, mod_layout 3.0, mod_perl 1.25,
mod_ssl 2.8.4, and php 4.0.6. I am running perl 5.6.1, originally
installed from RPM and then upgraded via cpan.
Whenever I try to run apache I get the following errors. If I run
apachectl start or startssl, I get "Apache.pm failed to load!" in my
error_log, and "apachectl start: httpd could not be started" printed to
my console. If I run httpd -f httpd.conf.p4a (my configuration file,
working on a different machine that is to be migrated to this one) I
get:
Can't locate object method "module" via package "Apache" (perhaps you
forgot to load "Apache"?) at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/DBI.pm line 202.
Compilation failed in require at /www/conf/httpd.conf.p4a line 287.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /www/conf/httpd.conf.p4a line 287.
The block of code that encompasses line 287 is:
PerlFreshRestartOn
PerlModule Apache # I don't think that this line
does anything, but
#I get the same errors w/ and w/out it
PerlModule Apache::Status
PerlModule Apache::Registry
PerlModule Apache::ASP
PerlModule Apache::DBI
and line 202 in DBI.pm is:
Apache::Status->menu_item(
'DBI' => 'DBI connections',
sub {
my($r, $q) = @_;
my(@s) =
qw(DatasourceUsername);
for (keys %Connected) {
push @s, '', join('', (split($;,
$_))[0,1]), "\n";
}
push @s, '';
return \@s;
}
) if ($INC{'Apache.pm'} && Apache->module('Apache::Status'));
1;
httpd -l lists mod_perl as being loaded. I compile all of apache w/out
any errors, and all of my perl/cpan installs have went smoothly.
Apache::DBI is installed and is at version number 1.20.
To verify that it is not just my apache install, I try to run perl
/www/conf/startup/pl and get the same DBI error. my startup.pl file is
as follows:
use strict;
die "no mod_perl :(" unless $ENV{MOD_PERL};
$ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'} =~ /^CGI-Perl/ or die "GATEWAY_INTERFACE not
Perl!";
use Apache::Registry;
use Apache::DBI;
use LWP::UserAgent();
1;
Any possible hints/clues will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

Newbie question
Sorry if this is in an FAQ somehere (googled for it, but no luck). Does anyone know of a *good* guide to compiling/configuring/installing Apache + mod_perl on a Windows NT system?

Installation woes :)
Hi everyone, I am using ActiveState perl on Win32. I have downloaded and installed mod_perl (using ppm) like so: PPM> install /location http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ mod_perl And the mod_perl file seems to be created ok: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\modules\mod_perl.so So far so good I follow the "Configuration" instructions at http://perl.apache.org/dist/cgi_to_mod_perl.html and make adjustments to httpd.conf: Alias /perl/ "c:/program files/perl/perl" SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI I try restarting apache, but get this message: Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration So, I snoop around and notice that the following line is commented, so I uncomment it: LoadModule usertrack_module modules/mod_perl.so I get the feeling that I have missed an important step. The wording at http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html suggested to me that the PPM installation was self working -- but maybe I need to do some extra work? thanks for any advise :) Jason

You're probably not getting your error message because you have RaiseError on.
>From the DBI pod:
RaiseError (boolean, inherited)
This attribute can be used to force errors to raise
exceptions rather than simply return error codes in
the normal way. It is "off" by default. When set
"on", any method which results in an error will cause
the DBI to effectively do a die("$class $method
failed: $DBI::errstr"), where $class is the driver
class and $method is the name of the method that
failed. E.g.,
DBD::Oracle::db prepare failed: ... error text here ...
So DBI is dying before your die ... as to why you can't connect? I'm not sure
yet. Still thinking ...

Plus RegistryNG is OO. I since solved this problem tho. I went over every script and added multi level module nameing. I did things like domain_com::contact for the 6 or 7 contact pages we have and use the same idea for the 2 very complex site I'm working on now.

NameWithVirtualHost
I"m running Apache 1.3.12 + mod_perl 1.25 I'm looking to fully optimized my mod_perl scripts and in the process I'm finding that I can't totaly seperate my virtual hosts. I'm finding that sub procedure that are in modules that I write will get redefined across vhosts. I did extensive research on this and did all the tricks that was suggest but with no luck. An example test script is like this. /index.pl: # #!/bin/perl -w use strict; require "/path/to/custom/module/test.pm" &testmodulepackage::main(); exit; # Now test.pm would be duplicated and would have simular calls but differnet outputs. Am I assuming correctly that in vhostA.com's /index.pl what ever is 'required' for use is compleatly local to that vhost? or once it's required, it's global but the only thing that is local to that vhost is what ever is in the /index.pl code-wise? That's what I'm getting to assume here. my config is simple here are lines in my dynamic httpd httpd.conf file: #PerlModule Apache::StatINC SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::RegistryNG->handler Options +ExecCGI #PerlSendHeader On #PerlInitHandler Apache::StatINC #PerlSetVar StatINCDebug On PerlRequire /vhost/bin/apache-dynamic/startup.pl and the lines in startup.pl: #! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use Apache::RegistryNG; use CGI (); use DBI (); use DBD::Pg (); 1; nothing changes if the $Apache::Registry::NameWithVirtualHost = 1 is in the startup.pl or not. If I change the SetHandler perl-script to SetHandler cgi-script all the modules in the startup.pl load and are cached and shared but my scripts are not. I can provide output from perl-status if anyone wishes to C that. But from what I gather, Apache does correctly place all calls in the correct name spaces. -- Jason J.

looking for a functin to move %fdat to the symbol table..
php has a function called extract which takes an array (no distinction between arrays and hashes in php. in this case in perl, it'd actually be a hash). extract takes the key values of the array (and optionally prepends a user specified prefix to each of the values to avoid clobbering other values in the symbol table), sets each of them up as a variable with that name and sets the variable's value equal to the value of that associated key in the hash. the beauty of extract comes into play when you want to use each of the key/value pairs in the array. instead of setting them up one at a time, pass the array to extract and voila, you have all of the key/value elements available as variables. if my description is too unclear, you can check the extract functions info at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php. does embedded perl sport a similar function? my apologies if i've posted to the wrong list. i did cross post to the embperl list, to cover all of the bases. :: jason n perkins :: email -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: web -> www.somebodydial911.com

OK I have ben RTFMing for about 5 hours now and I did find a fix for part of my problem It seems that Mac browsers (IE 4.5 and an old AOL that I know of) are having trouble viewing our HTML producing CGI scripts that use a function called &CGI::start_html() Apparently (recently in CGI.pm) there has been a change where the CGI::start_html includes the following This tag is reaking havoc on some browsers on Mac and possibly others.

mod_perl and infinite loops
I have a rather large script I run through mod_perl and occasionally, I have notice some users with "stuck" processes. It seems like they are in some sort of infinite loop. The CPU that the child is using is high, and the memory gradually grows until my server would eventually start to thrash (however, I built a script to kill the child before this occurs) Does anyone know of a way (even if it costs more memory/cpu) that I could load an ability into modperl and view where in the perl code a mod_perl process is atually at? Would "Apache::Status" or "B::TerseSize" or something else make this possible?

Hi, I have a mod_perl 1.24 installed installed with Apache 1.3.12 in solaris. Perl at the time I installed mod_perl/Apache was 5.005. This distribution did not include ByteLoader. I now have a need for ByteLoader. Using the CPAN mod I installed it which really just went all the way and installed 5.6.1. The problem is that it is not find toe the modules for 5.6.1, in fact it seem to be running the old perl thoughh I'm not sure why or how. In the error log for apache I get: Can't locate ByteLoader.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/apache2_mod_perl/mod_perl /usr/local/apache2_mod_perl/mod_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 . /usr/local/apache2_mod_perl/ /usr/local/apache2_mod_perl/lib/perl) Yet this perl -e "print @INC" print this: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl. And same for /usr/local/bin/perl -e "print @INC" and /usr/bin/perl I copied all the Byteloader files from 5.6.1 to 5.005 but that caused a sybols error: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/auto/ByteLoader/ByteLoader.so' for module ByteLoader: ld.so.1: /usr/local/apache2_mod_perl/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/auto/ByteLoader/ByteLoader.so: symbol PL_ppaddr: referenced symbol not found at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris//XSLoader.pm line 75.

Re: Reading Apache config info from mod_perl
This depend on the info you want as certain tables
of info have different methods. For the port you can use:
my $port = $r->get_server_port;
I'm not sure you can get the actaul pass file used
for the protected dir howevere you can recover the authentication result
and the pass used to get into the dir via this method:
my($result,$pass) =
$r->get_basic_auth_pw;
The user via:
my($user_name) =
$r->connection->user;
To get conf info you can use this
method:
$myConfVar =
$r->dir_config('ThisVar');
And in the httpd.conf:
PerlSetVar ThisVar
0
Hope this helps.

Memory Leaks?
At the the mod_perl/Apache web site (http://perl.apache.org/faq/#Why_is_httpd_using_so_much_memor)
there is a section about memory usage and a
subroutine is given which can help test for memory leaks which perl "does no
overtly report"
Joel Wagner reports that calling an undefined subroutine in a module can
cause a tight loop that consumes all memory. Here is a way to catch such errors.
Define an autoload subroutine
sub UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD {
my $class = shift;
warn "$class can't `$UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD'!\n";
}
It will produce a nice error in error_log, giving the line number of the call
and the name of the undefined subroutine.
I edited this to get a little more info:
sub UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD
{ my $class =
shift; my($package,$file,$line) =
caller; warn "$class
can't `$UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD'\n\tCaller
Info:\n\t$package\n\t$file\n\t$line\n"; $" =
"\n"; warn @_ , "\n\n"; }
I was able to clean up a number of errors which
seemed as though they were indeed causing leaks. For example:
$regex = qr'xx?'i;
Causes the following error:
(?i-xsm:xx?) can't
`Regexp::DESTROY' Caller
Info:
Apache::JProxy
/usr/local/apachessl/mod_perl/Apache/JProxy.pm
780
The only solution I found was to not precompile the
regex but it would definilty be nice so as to save some time as I repeatedly use
numeros patterns which I was precompliling.
Another error I found was with the use of
LWP:
LWP::UserAgent=HASH(0x5acb10) can't
`LWP::UserAgent::DESTROY' Caller
Info:
Apache::JProxy
/usr/local/apache2_mod_perl/mod_perl/Apache/JProxy.pm
980
I was able to erradicat this error by adding
DynaLoader to the @ISA of LWP::UserAgent.
OK not so bad but one error I have been unable
erradicat is the following:
Apache=SCALAR(0x84da840) can't
`Apache::DESTROY' Caller
Info:
main
/dev/null 0
I have not found that Apache,pm has a ISA to add
dynaloader to and I have not yet trid adding it my self but..any ideas on
where this (apparent) leak is comming from? It adds 4k to a
child per request. On a site with the amount of traffic we have that is
death
Thanks in advance!

Apache thrashing my swap...
I am running Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_01 PHP/4.0.3pl1 mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 And run several database and MEMORY hogging mod_perl scripts... My problem is that recently I have had some users that are getting impatient and hitting the reload/refresh button OFTEN. In some instances this causes one single person to have over 40 httpd children service JUST them. This causes my server to start thrashing swap... Does anybody on this list know of a way to limit the number of connections apache will allow per IP address (before any reverse lookups would be nice)? I would like to set this to like 10-15 or so if it is possible? I know that this could cause some people with proxy servers to be limited, but I figure 10-15 httpd children should be able to handle most proxy systems just fine... I know this isn't really a mod_perl problem... but I also know that this list is probably the most likely to have other people who have exactly this issue on their machines Thanks in advance -Jason
Re: Subject: mod_perl failing to interpret bytecode modules
Mark,
I ahve been asking this question for some time
nowthough admitedly not specific to bytecode and ByteLoader but just how to
"precomplie" a mod_perl mod. I went to www.experts-exchange.com and got a
great walk through of how to use ByteLoader but as with you it fails in
mod_perl I'm passing you the info they gave me just in case you can see how
to give it that final twist.I and the person who gave me the answer were

Transfering Headers... w/ miltiple 'Set_Cookie'
Hi,
I have a problem with a "procy" I'm writing.
The proxy mut pass the headers from the response to the response that the Apache
will return to the client. I am using the following method as read from
The Egal Book (Writing Apache Modules)
$headers->scan(sub
{
$r->header_out(@_);
});
Where $headers is a HTTP::Response object... the
problem is that there are many Set-Cookie instructions in $headers but mod_perl
seems to use a tied hash to link to the request table and so each set cookie
replaces the last as the hash key is seen to equal? How do I get
around thisI tried:
$r->headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' =>
$cookieString);
Inside a loop which modifies $cookieString each
time through but it had the same effect. In the end Apache sens you a
single cookie which is equivelent to the last set.
Thanks in advance..
Jason
PS I am still waiting for a good sugguestion on how
to protect code:
I have a mod_perl module which I would like to
protect. The code is very "private" and I would like to have it
exist only as perl byte code... which can be used each time the server may
be restarted... is this possible? How? Thanks in advance and to
those wo responded to may last question "Help me beat
Java..."
The goal is not to prevent decompiling which seemed
to be one persons sugguestion using obfuscation...but simply to make it
impossible to open and read the .pm. Make it a prcompiled Perl Byte Code which
Apache can insert into its parent and child processes whithout expecting a raw
perl script which requires compiling...

RE: database access
Thanks for reply.
I need some information in the Oracle database for access control. We have
some methods in our proprietary library for Oracle access. I have a file
called GateKeeper.pm that contains the access handler, sub handler{ ... }.
I placed the same code inside and outside of the handler subroutine in
GateKeeper.pm. When the Apache starts up, those code outside of the handler
subroutine got executed. It queries the Oracle and writes the result in a
file. This part works fine. However, when I requests a file and the access
handler is triggered, I got an error message says "Undefined subroutine
&dbChannel::command called at /usr/up/papi/lib/PAPIDatabase.pm", which is a
library file that works.
In general, how should database connections be handled between parent and
child processes? Can you establish database connections from within a
handler?

This is very similar to SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). There is a perl

How to use gcc to build mod_perl
Hi, I was trying to build mod_perl 1.24_01 and apache 1.3.14. I used the following command: perl Makefile.PL make test && make install The Makefile wants to use the "cc" compiler. Can I use "gcc" instead? Thanks, Jason

newbie needin help
Hey folks,
I have apache_1.3.12 running on freebsd 4.1 and I have an application
that I want to run with mod_perl. Ususally I take the easy way out and
run my perl cgi's with speedycgi. I believe it operates (or I may be
totally wrong) in the same fashion as mod_perl except that its a lot
easier to implement. Anyway, the script im trying to use is web-ftp
(www.web-ftp.org) and of course because it relies on perl a lot, its
horribly slow. I want to try to get it to work with mod_perl and have
read through the http://perl.apache.org/tuning/ but am still not sure
what the basic commands I need in my httpd.conf are. It looks like I
need a separate directory to store cgi's that I want to run mod_perl'd
but im not sure.
What I have gathered is that I need to
1. put this in my httpd.conf
# put mod_perl programs here
# startup.perl loads all functions that we want to use within mod_perl
Perlrequire /usr/local/apache/perl/startup.perl
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
2. then create a file called startup.perl in /usr/local/apache/perl/
I assume this is the startup.perl file
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
# load up necessary perl function modules to be able to call from
Perl-SSI
# files. These objects are reloaded upon server restart (SIGHUP or
SIGUSR1)
# if PerlFreshRestart is "On" in httpd.conf (as of mod_perl 1.03).
# only library-type routines should go in this directory.
use lib "/usr/local/apache/perl";
# make sure we are in a sane environment.
$ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} =~ /^CGI-Perl/ or die "GATEWAY_INTERFACE not
Perl!";
use Apache::Registry (); # for things in the "/programs" URL
# pull in things we will use in most requests so it is read and
compiled
# exactly once
use CGI (); CGI->compile(':all');
use CGI::Carp ();
use DBI ();
use DBD::mysql ();
1;
and is this it? do I have to modify my webftp.cgi program in any way?
regards,
Jason

Apache::ProxyStuff is module for adding headers and footers to content proxied from other web servers. Rather than sandwiching the content between the header and footer it "stuffs" the header and footer into their correct places in the content -- header after the tag and footer before the tag. This allows you to give content living on established servers a common look and feel without making changes to the pages.

Do I need to reinstall mod_perl?
I'm on a RaQ4 which comes preinstalled with perl 5.005 and mod_perl 1.24 Whever I test a script, I get this error: [Thu Sep 14 20:46:54 2000] [error] Can't locate Apache/ASP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 . /etc/httpd/ /etc/httpd/lib/perl) at (eval 43) line 3. My ASP.pm file is located in this directory: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/ASP.pm Does this mean I have to reinstall mod_perl to recognize that I'm using a newer version of Perl, or should I just copy the contents of the Apache folder into something like /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 ? Also, would doing this effect my installation of Apache::ASP? By the way, thanks for pointing me in the direction Stas Beckman's guide. It's been really helpful as far as understanding terminology and config info. Also, if you remember, I was the idiot who was having problems with my httpd.conf -- the reason I was having trouble was that some of my config info is also stored in a file called access.conf -- I guess some systems use one httpd.conf, while others use more than one.. Thanks! Jason

Question on installation and location of httd.conf file.
Hi .. I hope someone can help me with this problem. I've been assigned to install Apache::ASP and mod_perl so that one of our client's can use a program called Hyperseek. My biggest problem is that I'm not very familiar with the server or the Unix environment. Over the past few days, I've managed to install MySQL, DBI module and DBD::mysql. I've now run into a problem with Apache::ASP and mod_perl. When I perform a locate test on my server (RaQ4) for mod_perl, it finds a bunch of files. I can also find my Apache::ASP files. I had the automatically installed via CPAN.pm by doing an install mod_perl and install Bundle::Apache command. According to tutorials, I need to edit my httpd.conf file in order activate Apache and mod_perl. The problem is that when I try to locate my httpd.conf file, I can't find it. I also do not have a /usr/local/Apache folder. Does this mean Apache isn't installed?? I'm really confused. Can anyone help me? Also, is there a way to test that Apache::ASP and mod_perl are correctly installed and can run scripts? Your help is very much appreciated. -- Jason Ables

That was the right thing to do. The problem became apparent right away: I had another handler installed for a parent directory of the one I was trying to enable 'PUT' for. Thanks very much. Also thanks to Frank Wiles, who pointed my attention at the relevant part of the manual.
PUT handling (somewhat off-topic)
I apologize in advance, because this isn't directly related to mod_perl. But I really wasn't sure where to ask. Posting to comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix didn't produce any result. There doesn't seem to be a mailing list for discussion of Apache generally. I am trying to get apache to invoke a CGI program in response to PUT requests. This is a FAQ. The FAQ instructions are very clear and straightforward and don't work for me. I have the following in the VirtualHost section in my httpd.conf: Script PUT /cgi-bin/Put /cgi-bin is ScriptAliased correctly. /cgi-bin/Put has permissions set propserly and runs correctly from the shell and also when I send Apache a GET request for it. When I send Apache a PUT request using 'telnet', the request is received. However, my PUT script does not run. Instead, Apache fabricates a 200 response that looks like this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2000 08:57:12 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_perl/1.19 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html the body of the response is empty. I know that /cgi-bin/Put isn't being run because it would have produced a 206 response, not a 200 response, because it would have produced a nonempty body, and because it would have written a log to /tmp/Put.err, which it didn't do. The access log entry looks like this: 209.152.205.5 - - [05/Sep/2000:04:57:12 -0400] "PUT /~mjd/p/index.html HTTP/1.0" 200 0 "-" "-" There is no entry in the error log. I get the same behavior when I put the 'Script' directive into a section and send a PUT request for a file in the directory. I don't want Apache to respond to the PUT request itself. I want it to run /cgi-bin/Put and have /cgi-bin/Put generate the response. The on-line manual and the FAQ all say that the Script PUT /cgi-bin/Put directive that I have should do that, but it isn't doing it. Does anyone have any suggestions about what might be wrong, or about a more appropriate forum in which to ask?

(To tell you the truth, I don't know who originally posted this question) However, I should point out that when you look for a mod_perl programmer, that you be a bit open minded. I personally feel there are few mod_perl coders out there that have "real skills" when you look at the big picture. As some others have suggested in other threads that you take a perl coder or someone willing to learn and teach them mod_perl. When it comes to mod_perl programmers, there is a limited supply.

Apache::Leak ouput
Hi, folks,
I had a question regarding the output of Apache::Leak. I'm testing a
perl module for memory leaks using this module, and I've wrapped my code
inside of a
leak_test {
}
statement. My error_log file (where the output of the leak_test
function goes) ends up with a rather large number of the following bits
of information:
ENTER: 2740 SVs
new 0x827b018 : new 0x827b03c : new 0x827b048 : new 0x827b060 (many of
these).
LEAVE: 15609 SVs
ENTER: 15609 SVs
new 0x827b0e4 : new 0x827b378 : new 0x827b3b4 : new 0x81c91f8 : new
0x81c29f8 : old (1):
0 old (1):
0 old (1):
0 old (1):
0 old (1):
0
LEAVE: 15609 SVs
So, I guess my question is how this all gets interpreted. the perldoc
for Apache::Leak is a bit sparse, saying:
use Apache::Leak;
leak_test {
my $obj = Foo->new;

so I was wondering if anyone in here had suggestions.
thanks, most appreciated.

Re: DNS Lookups ? huh ?
I do use an allow/deny with a domain name. My question is, does it only force the lookup for the directory that the rule applies to. Or, does simply having the rule force lookups on ALL pages?

$r->print() Fails
I have a rewriting proxy based on the module of the
same name by:Mike Reiling, Steve Baker and Tim DiLauro (Many thanks to them
and I =will be contacting you soon)I have made some modifications
which SEEM to have disturbed the code. =The original SEEM to fail in
the same way (I say seem because =it appears to be irregular). The
problem is the following.I capture a request using a the proxy_mod
internally carry out the =request with LWP and rewrite much of the content
but when I print the =content to the browser
using:$r->print("/n$content");The page comes back broken,
like
this:Sexoterapiacharset=3Diso-8859-1">framespacing=3D"0">=20 That word marginwidth is not the only
place the page can break and I =have found that while it very regular per
session is I change sessions I =can often see a different break point.
BUT her is the real doozy... if =I porint $content to a Log file right
before I send it out with =$r->print("/n$content"); it ALWAYS prints
well. That is to say that =neither the LWP GET nor and of the
substitutions are the problem but =some how the sending of the material to
the browser via Apache... I =supoose there must be some character
confusing apache and making it =believe that the file has ended when it has
not...but I am =stumped!@%^$^!ALSO if I print out the content direct
from the LWP I get the same =problem.. The page breaks in the browser but is
perfect in the logI tried something stupid like:$content =3D~
s/(\n|\r)/\r/gio;but no luck!I guess my real question is what character
can fool apache but get =printed to a text file without
detection...
Re: [benchmark] DBI/preload (was Re: [RFC] improving memory mapping thru code exercising)
I just wanted to thank you guys for sending this to the mailing list.
I added these lines to my startup script
use Carp;
CGI->compile(qw(my_common_functions));
DBI->install_driver('mysql');
Please note that these were already existing in my startup script.
use CGI();
use DBI();
And after testing, and running the server with the new settings all night long, it
seems that I am saving ~2M of RAM for each apache
process. Again thank you.
However, this has made me curious, and left me wondering... I have 3 scripts that I
pre-load in my startup file, would any of my
self-made modules, or other CPAN modules, benefit from including directly in the
startup script... as opposed to being loaded only
in the pre-loaded scripts themselves?
Again, thank you for this thread it has saved me 20-80M of RAM depending on my current
load.
