Losing $r->user between PerlFixupHandler and PerlLogHandler

[Kevin Thorpe <ke...@pricetrak.com>]

Hi, I have just upgraded from Apache1 to Apache2 and I am now having 
problems with logging to my database.

I am using AuthCookie and AuthCookieDBI for logging in. AuthCookie sets 
$r->user in the PerlFixupHandler.
However reading $r->user in PerlLogHandler doesn't always return the 
user set in the previous handler.

Can anyone shed any light on why the RequestRec is losing the user name?

thanks

Ah, found it! mod_php was destroying the contents of $r->user as it was 
trying to do authentication itself. Notes
here about the problem....

Nope, $r->main and $r->prev are both empty and $r->is_initial_req == 1

now I'm really baffled

I encountered a similar problem some time ago. Have a look at this
thread, maybe your problem is related:
