Re: Issue with Running Long Processes thru CGI

Hello sara2005,

I'd suggest something like

{
    foreach my $p (param()) {
        warn "param $p = '".param($p)."'\n";
    }
}
# The execution enters this loop in the first pass whereas it should n
+ot!!!
if (my $session = param('session')) { # returning to pick up session d
+ata

and check the apache error_log to see what's actually set at that time. Then work back in your code and see where it comes from...

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

I included the lines to print out the parameters and checked the error log as well but couldn't figure out what is going wrong It prints a session id which I am not able to locate in the /tmp/FileCache folder... still checking out...	[reply]

Could it be that the session id is passed in from the client? I would put the parameter printing code at the very beginning of the request handler / your cgi script, to see what's actually coming in. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply]

Thanks for your suggestions on this issue. I tried today without changing anything and it works fine!!! I am confused as to why it failed yesterday but worked fine today. This is scary because it could potentially come back to haunt me.. I am not sure if it is anything to do with Unix OS Anyway, for now I am going ahead with it and troubleshoot, if it occurs again	[reply]
