Questions about Apache::Session

[Edgardo Szulsztein <ed...@netscape.net>]

Hi

I've used Embeded Perl for a while, and now I'm trying to use the session
funcionality. I tried to use postgresql as a database server, but I had no
luck. My apache configuration file looks like:

PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASSES "DBIStore SysVSemaphoreLocker"
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SESSION_ARGS "DataSource=dbi:Pg:dbname=session
UserName=xxx"

When I try to acces a page I get the following error:
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root@morticia.pertsrl.com.ar and
inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything
you might have done that may have caused the error.

[27900]ERR: 24: Line 15: Error in Perl code: DBD::Pg::st execute failed:
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ""

Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.22 HTML::Embperl 1.3b2 [Fri May 19 18:43:57

Internal Server Error

How could I fix it?

Then, I tried to use FileStore, and it worked fine. However, it stores the
sessions files in the /tmp directory. How could I change the location of the
sessions file in the httpd.conf file?

Any help to solve this problems will be very appreciated

Thanks in advance

Good move.  Get it working via FileStore, then get the database version
of your session handling going.

As for the session file storage, set the SESSION_FILE_DIRECTORY
variable, and/or use a 'EMBPERL_SESSION_ARGS "Directory=/web/sessions"'.
I threw both into my httpd.conf, which looks like this by the way:

PerlSetEnv  EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASS Embperl
PerlSetEnv  SESSION_FILE_DIRECTORY /web/sessions
PerlSetEnv  EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASSES "FileStore NullLocker"
PerlSetEnv  EMBPERL_SESSION_ARGS "Directory=/web/sessions"
PerlSetEnv  EMBPERL_COOKIE_PATH "/"

<FilesMatch ".*\.e(pl|html)$">
   PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16535
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler HTML::Embperl
   Options ExecCGI
   PerlSendHeader Off
</FilesMatch>

YMMV.

Peace.
