configuration error: couldn't check user. No user file?:

[Martin Moss <ma...@btopenworld.com>]

I'm seeing this error in the logfiles...

configuration error:  couldn't check user.  No user
file?:

Any ideas what might cause it... it is appearing on
different webpages... seems to be during large POST's.

We've just changed from Basic to Cookie based Auth...

solved it... But there's a new mystery...

I was returning DECLINED in my Auth handler when the
following subroutine showed a user had disconnected...


sub client_still_connected
{
    my $self = shift; #subclassed Apache::Request
    my $conn = $self->connection;
    my $is_connected = $conn->aborted ? 0 : 1;
    if ($is_connected)
    {
        cluck ("connection still seems valid....") if
$DEBUG;
        my $fileno = $conn->fileno;
        if (defined $fileno)
        {
            cluck ("Still seems valid\n") if $DEBUG;
            my $s = IO::Select->new($fileno);
            #$is_connected = $s->can_read(0) ? 0 : 1;
        }
    }

    cluck ("is_connected=$is_connected\n") if $DEBUG;
    return $is_connected;
}

The problem I have now, is this subroutine always
fails at the $s->can_read line whene a user POST's a
large amount of content... 

And intermittently on other page requests (GET & POST)
the subroutine fails the can_read but the client is
Still there....

Any ideas?

We use a reverse proxy in front of our mod_perl
server...
