Help with Apache::Status

[James Xie <Ja...@cogentsystems.com>]

I try to use Apache::Status to find out memory usage of my perl scripts, I
configured the system according to the mod_perl guide:

Add the following lines to httpd.conf

<Location /perl-status>
	SetHandler perl-script
	PerlHandler Apache::Status
	order deny,allow
</Location>

 
PerlSetVar StatusOptionsAll On
PerlSetVar StatusTerse On
PerlSetVar StatusTerseSize On
PerlSetVar StatusTerseSizeMainSummary On
PerlModule B::TerseSize

I also installed  B-Size-0.04 and Devel-Symdump on the system. I got
internal server log every time I try to access /perl-status.  This is what
in the log file:

[Tue Oct  3 15:49:15 2000] [error] [Tue Oct  3 15:49:15 2000] null:
Undefined su
broutine &Apache::Status::handler called. 


If I remove PerlModule B::TerseSize from httpd.conf, I can get to the
/perl-status page but I got error again when I click on the memory usage
button. 

What did I miss?


Thanks

James

I think I've seen it before, but probably forgot to document it. If I
remember correctly you have to preload one of the modules it uses. May be
B::Terse? 

As for

 PerlSetVar StatusOptionsAll On

turns all the options On, my bad, should fix that. You shouldn't set it
unless you want all the options to be On.

Tell me whether it worked for you and I'll fix the guide accordingly.
Thanks.

Re: file upload size and malformed header

["E.S." <ra...@omega2.com>]

It's not likely that the problem is in mod_perl... At least not based on
my own experiences...

I've a script that I use under mod_perl for uploading files (images) that
hasn't run into any problems with file size...

If you want a copy, email me offlist and I'll send it over; maybe it'll
help, maybe not...

file upload size and malformed header

[Monika Soroczynska <mo...@asu.edu>]

Hi,

We're trying to write a CGI script to upload pdf fils, at slash site 
at www.ecept.net. We can get it to accept files, however, when we start 
trying to upload larger files, we run into trouble.  The first roadblock 
occured inexplicably at 75k.  Any files uploaded larger than 75k were 
rejected with a "Malformed header" error in the httpd error log.

Next we tried playing around with the $CGI::POST_MAX variable, and
we were able to get up to about 300k that way, but even if $CGI::POST_MAX
is set to 1 Mb, any attempt to upload a file larger than ~300k results
in a malformed header message *and* a message about resetting the maximum
upload size to 75k!?  We have since wrote "stripped down" versions
of the script to see if the problem is in slash, mod_perl, or apache
(even running a script on one of our other webservers that does not
have mod_perl running on it, and it worked fine).  As far as we can
tell, it looks like the problem might be in mod_perl somewhere, but we 
have not been able to track it down.  Has anyone seen this, or have any
suggestion about what to try next?

We're running Apache 1.3.12 with mod_perl 1.24. and slash-1.0.8
