Fun with Sessions. Need some help.

[Wayde Milas <wm...@rarcoa.com>]

Ok some info to start off with:
Apache Session 1.5.3
Embperl 1.3.1

I have my apache httpd.conf set up with:

<FilesMatch ".*\.epl$">
SetHandler      perl-script
PerlHandler     HTML::Embperl
Options         ExecCGI
</FilesMatch>

AddType text/html .epl

PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 2097152
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASS "File Null"
PerlSetEnv SESSION_FILE_DIRECTORY "'Directory=/var/www/sessions'"
PerlModule HTML::Embperl

Embperl works fine. I can use DBD:DBI to shove stuff in a mysql database ect. The problem with with udat and mdat... they simply arent working. Obviously I have something set up wrong with sessions but I really have no clue what. Looking through the embperl logfile i see no mention of anything to do with sessions. I'm not getting a cookie when i shove stuff into udat.

What can I do to debug this? I'm not faliliar with Sessions at all and pretty much like the idea of using udat as a hash and letting it do its magic. :P

Ive tried configuring with:
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASS "File"
and
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASS "File Semaphore"
with no luck. I've also tried:
PerlSetEnv SESSION_FILE_DIRECTORY "Directory=/var/www/sessions"
and
PerlSetEnv SESSION_FILE_DIRECTORY "/var/www/sessions"

No luck.

The wierd thing is with all of teh above i dont get any errors. It jsut simply doesnt work.

Oh, also, /var/www/sessions is owned by the process apache is executing as, and is world readable/writeable (for testing purposes).

Help. :P

Thanks in advance.

These two configuartion directives are very old and worked once when Apache
0.17 was there, now use

PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASSES "File Null"
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SESSION_ARGS "'Directory=/var/www/sessions'"

Then you should see a message at server startup time about "Session
management enabled" and it should work
