Build error, requiring threads when threads are not built in
I keep getting this error trying to build the dso mod_perl2 with apache2. Httpd was built with mpm-prefork, perl was not compiled with threads. below are configure options. this is the build error with the configure options: root [ ~/.cpan/build/mod_perl-2.0.7-gdtpWS ]# perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs MP_APR_CONFIG=/usr/bin/apr-1-config > MP_USE_DSO=1 MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork" Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV MP_APXS = /usr/bin/apxs MP_APR_CONFIG = /usr/bin/apr-1-config MP_USE_DSO = 1 MP_AP_CONFIGURE = --with-mpm=prefork no conflicting prior mod_perl version found - good.

Re: [mod_perl2]: Install error with Makefile.PL - uninitialized value at TestRun.pm
Ok. I finally got it to glue together with apache 2.2.22, perl
5.14.2, and mod_perl 2.0.7. The perl can probably be upgraded to newest.
However, mod_perl 2.0.7 will NOT do a static build (as daniel states
below, tho that looks real good otherwise) with large file support
enabled and no perl thread support enabled. It throws constant errors in
various places -> error: unknown type name 'off64_t'.
So it appears it
has to be built as a dso under those circumstances, and that goes pretty
smoothly with httpd installed first, --with-mpm=prefork and any other
apache options enabled, as a dso it or something else can be unloaded
anyway if memory issues with ssl, for instance, are an issue as the
mod_perl (1) docs state.
Fred's patch is a lifesaver, so patch first:

Benchmark!
so ok.. I have been using perl for years.. I had an old site online a looong time which had lots of old perl and really had to upgrade..things were real smooth BUT.. so I am doing this mod_perl2 thing.. and check out the benchmark between the same exact page, which is just a test page in written in perl/mod_perl, it loads a real big image, some perl output text/html etc.. first in cgi, then (handler) apache2::registry, then (handler) apache2::perlrun, it's an amazing difference!! I actually ran the first old type cgi again last to make sure I wasn't seeing things.. should have done this a long time ago! *** *** *** *** root [ /thisplace/apache2/thatplace ]# ab -c1 -n50 http://10.x.x.x/cgi-bin/pretty1 This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 1178079 $> Copyright 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd, http://www.zeustech.net/ Licensed to The Apache Software Foundation, http://www.apache.org/ Benchmarking 10.x.x.x (be patient).done Server Software:Apache Server Hostname:10.x.x.x Server Port:80 Document Path: /cgi-bin/pretty1 Document Length:1259 bytes Concurrency Level: 1 Time taken for tests: 9.234 seconds Complete requests: 50 Failed requests:0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 74950 bytes HTML transferred: 62950 bytes Requests per second:5.41 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 184.673 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 184.673 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 7.93 [Kbytes/sec] received Connection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect:00 0.0 0 0 Processing: 182 184 3.6184 201 Waiting: 177 181 4.0181 199 Total:182 185 3.6184 201 Percentage of the requests served within a certain time (ms) 50%184 66%184 75%185 80%185 90%186 95%187 98%201 99%201 100%201 (longest request) root [ /thisplace/apache2/thatplace ]# ab -c1 -n50 http://10.x.x.x/registry/pretty1 This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 1178079 $> Copyright 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd, http://www.zeustech.net/ Licensed to The Apache Software Foundation, http://www.apache.org/ Benchmarking 10.x.x.x (be patient).done Server Software:Apache Server Hostname:10.x.x.x Server Port:80 Document Path: /registry/pretty1 Document Length:1396 bytes Concurrency Level: 1 Time taken for tests: 0.207 seconds Complete requests: 50 Failed requests:0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 75600 bytes HTML transferred: 69800 bytes Requests per second:240.96 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 4.150 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 4.150 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 355.80 [Kbytes/sec] received Connection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect:00 0.0 0 0 Processing: 34 1.8 3 9 Waiting:03 1.2 2 6 Total: 34 1.8 3 9 Percentage of the requests served within a certain time (ms) 50% 3 66% 3 75% 5 80% 6 90% 7 95% 7 98% 9 99% 9 100% 9 (longest request) root [ /thisplace/apache2/thatplace ]# ab -c1 -n50 http://10.x.x.x/perlrun/pretty1 This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 1178079 $> Copyright 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd, http://www.zeustech.net/ Licensed to The Apache Software Foundation, http://www.apache.org/ Benchmarking 10.x.x.x (be patient).done Server Software:Apache Server Hostname:10.x.x.x Server Port:80 Document Path: /perlrun/pretty1 Document Length:1396 bytes Concurrency Level: 1 Time taken for tests: 0.331 seconds Complete requests: 50 Failed requests:0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 75600 bytes HTML transferred: 69800 bytes Requests per second:151.15 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 6.616 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 6.616 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 223.18 [Kbytes/sec] received Connection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect:00 0.0 0 0 Processing: 56 1.7 5 9 Waiting:04 0.9 4 7 Total: 56 1.7 5 9 Percentage of the requests served within a certain time (ms) 50% 5 66% 8 75% 8 80% 9 90% 9 95% 9 98% 9 99% 9 100% 9 (longest request) root [ /thisplace/apache2/thatplace ]# ab -c1 -n50 http://10.x.x.x/cgi-bin/pretty1 This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 1178079 $> Copyright 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd, http://www.zeustech.net/ Licensed to
Re: [mod_perl2]: Install error with Makefile.PL - uninitialized value at TestRun.pm
yes thank you, but I am not using threads!
my dev server is
already kind of low on memory all the time.. but I will save this for
future reference, thanks!
