Connection Reset on Mandrake Linux 8.0 / Apache 1.3.20 / ModPerl 1.26
I installed ModPerl today, am excited, it seems to *mostly* work,
however, every request is ending in a connection reset error. This is
difficult to search for, since this is apparently a common problem in NT
under some situations. I am running :
Mandrake Linux 8.0 (kernel 2.4.3-20mdk)
Apache 1.3.20
ModPerl 1.26
This is the script I am running :
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
if ($ENV{"MOD_PERL"}) {
print "Hello!";
} else {
print "I'm in slow motion :)";
}
I have two copies of the script, one running under ScriptAlias, the
other running Alias under mod_perl. Here is the location block for the
modperl version:
<Location /modperl>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI Indexes
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader Off
</Location>
It appears to work ( I get a webpage that says Hello!), in a Mozilla
browser, but httperf shows a connection reset instead of a success
message, the same goes for lynx (Alert!: Unexpected network read error;
connection aborted.). The ScriptAlias version works fine. The two
scripts can be seen online at
Regular CGI version : http://www.nonserviam.net/perl/index.pl
ModPerl version: http://www.nonserviam.net/modperl/index.pl
Any thoughts / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When I test it, I get a 404 Not Found, which could explain
it. But even when it is found, you might try setting
PerlSendHeader On, as it may not send a header otherwise.
Or you could try explicitly calling Apache->send_http_header
in your mod_perl version.

Thanks a million. I'm having one of those saturdays :-) It works like
a champ, of course. I guess the only thing I don't understand is why
with PerlSendHeader Off, isnt the webserver supposed to send headers?
Does it not because it doesn't know what kind of content a .pl file is?
In that case, shouldn't it send DefaultType (text/plain) ?
Thanks again, I'm going to run autobench again and see if we get better
results :)

I just wanted to add that you always have to send 'Content-type' header.
It's just that PerlSendHeader On reads your STDOUT, recognizes the header
at a cost (see the guide) and then sends it along with other headers. With
PerlSendHeader Off, you should use either CGI.pm or mod_perl native
methods to set the headers. It's all in the guide :)

I tried telneting to your web server to see what's going on. Look at this:
$ telnet www.nonserviam.net 80
Trying 65.34.152.103...
Connected to nonserviam.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /modperl/index.pl HTTP/1.1
Host: www.nonserviam.net
Hello!Connection closed by foreign host.
The HTTP server did not return a proper HTTP header, which is why lynx
doesn't like it.
Looking at your mod_perl configuration...
> PerlSendHeader Off
Try doing it with PerlSendHeader On. You also might need to add this line
at the beginning of your script:
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
(or text/html)
