Apache::Connection problem

[David W Smith <dw...@well.ox.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about how to overcome the
following problem. My setup is:

Apache/2.0.49 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_14 Perl/v5.8.4 mod_ssl/2.0.49
OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/4.3.6

on a Solaris 8 box.

In my apache error log I have warnings containing the string:

Can't locate object method "user" via package "Apache::Connection" at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/Apache/AuthenIMAP.pm line 70.\n

I had 4 other such error messages relating to various 'object methods',
for example, 'get_basic_auth_pw'. So I ran the command:

perl -MApache2 -MModPerl::MethodLookup -e print_method get_basic_auth_pw

Which returned:

To use method 'get_basic_auth_pw' add:
        use Apache::Access ();

So I added the line 'use Apache::Access;' to AuthenIMAP.pm and the error
message went away.

When I run:

perl -MApache2 -MModPerl::MethodLookup -e print_method user

I get:

There is more than one class with method 'user'
try one of:
        use APR::Finfo ();
        use Apache::RequestRec ();
        use APR::URI ();

But this time no matter which of the above 3, or how many, I add to
AuthenIMAP.pm the error message in the Apache error log persists and a
page stating 'Internal Server Error' appears when I try and access
Apache's default web page.

Any ideas or fixes appreciated.

Thanks.

That's because it no longer lives in the connection record:
