Re: Perl and Apache2 timeout

I've seen this problem too, and apache 2 perl/CGI does seem to exit with the correct error (I always use strict) after a long time (5 - 10 minutes or so) . I haven't found any way of fixing the problem - it's really annoying when you're testing code - so in the end I installed apache 1.3; problem solved.

I was using RedHat 9 and if you are too, it might also be something in RedHat's apache/perl version - you could try updating apache and/or perl.

I was using Apache 1.3 until last night :( I had the problem on my FC1 box (but dont really mind cause I am a lot better at coding now than when I wrote these scripts) and last night upgraded Apache on my RH7.2 box and it started happening. Tried searching the web and found nada, which is wierd considering that an out of the box install of FC1 has it... Oh well. at least i can switch apache 1.3 back on when i give up for the day :).

how do you update perl when you are in the urpmi hell? I guess that the only 2 ways are: Upgrading your whole system. Or, installing a paralell perl with its bundles. Am I right? .{\('v')/} _`(___)' __________________________	[reply]

What I did was just build a new perl from source, and install it over the old one. Probably not recommended. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
