Hi, I need help in figuring out why my mod perl registry script fails randomly/periodicall on 'https'. I am using modperl2 on ubuntu-dapper (libapache2-mod-perl2 2.0.2-2.3ubuntu1). The registry script is used to login over https. The script periodically/randomly gives internal error because in the following code snippet $r is coming as undefined. This happens randomly but periodically. Any pointers/insights to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated. my $r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request; my $host = $r->hostname || $r->server->server_hostname; *<=========== This fails randomly because $r is undefined.*
Hi. Don't take this as an expert response, but very superficially, I can think of one kind of circumstance where "this happens randomly but periodically" : if it would happen, for instance, at the first execution of the script by a "new" apache child, freshly started. Then as this same child re-executes the script multiple times, $r would always be defined, until that child dies and a new child initialises and executes the script for the first time, etc.. Of course there must be another underlying reason why $r is undefined, but maybe the above can help thinking about it.
