Truoble getting Apache::AuthCookie to work on server

After getting it to work just fine on my desktop, without any virtual
hosts, I can't get it to work right on my server in a virtual host.

Using OpenBSD, older -current, chrooted, all mod_perl
after adding some debugging warns, I get this

username= cool at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/MyPerl/Utils.pm
line 13.
password = yellow at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/MyPerl/Utils.pm
line 14.

I am not getting correct previous uri: (should be /protected/index.html)

uri = /perl/login.pl at /var/www/htdocs/users/edett.us/perl/login.pl
line 13.
Use of uninitialized value $creds in concatenation (.) or string at
/var/www/htdocs/users/edett.us/perl/login.pl line 15.
creds = at /var/www/htdocs/users/edett.us/perl/login.pl line 15.
Use of uninitialized value $reason in concatenation (.) or string at
/var/www/htdocs/users/edett.us/perl/login.pl line 36


I have tried with both version 3.12 and 3.14
Thanks

I have Apache::AuthCookie (and several derived versions) working fine in
multiple VirtualHost sections, on several servers.
I just mention this so that you would not think that there is some
incompatibility between Apache::AuthCookie and VirtualHost setups.
There isn't.

Apart from that, it is difficult to help you without having any idea of
your configuration (meaning the main httpd.conf and the virtual hosts
config, your login form etc..).

I have httpd.conf split up with individual conf files for gzip, SSL, and
each virtual host and its SSL, if relevant.

Re: Truoble getting Apache::AuthCookie to work on server

Well I'm pretty clueless. It works fine on nearly identical desktop at home.
Won't work on server.

I don't know what else I can try.
I have tried using Location instead of Directory.
Changed module names.
Fiddled with startup.pl
Still always get uri as /perl/login.pl and creds as uninitialized.

That means the problem is either different versions on the one that
doesn't work or a configuration mistake (more likely). My advice is
to strip down the configuration on the broken one to something really
simple that works, and then add things back in a little at a time
until you find the part that breaks it.

Recently breaking it all into multiple confs was a big help just now.

The problem turned out to be with mod_gzip.


# YES: CGI scripts
mod_gzip_item_include file \.pl$

Excluding this made everything work fine.
So I'm happy now! :)

Can anyone explain to me why this is a problem?
I actually tried in the past to use AuthCookie, but didn't work.
My skills were less, but now I see it couldn't have worked due to this
problem.

Thanks,

Apache2::RequestIO::print: (103) Software caused connection abortat ...

Hello there,

I have been trying to figure it out for over a week now but without much
success. Could really use some help.

When I visit my site http://www.Channelorama.com/DH/?act=home using IE,
I see the following error in the apache error log. And, IE hangs in a
'working' loop, without displaying the page.

[Thu May 20 03:01:08 2010] [error] Apache2::RequestIO::print: (103)
Software caused connection abort at ...util.pm line 855

The line it is complaining about is

$r->print($tmpl->output);

The strange part is that this error shows up ONLY when browsing via IE
(version 6 and 8; haven't tried others). But, when browsing the same
site using FF (3.5.3) on Linux, it seems to be working just fine. No
errors in the log.

Has anyone experienced this/similar issue? If so, could you please share
how you resolved it? Here is my setup:

CentOS release 5 (Final)
HTML-Template-2.5
Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) PHP/5.2.6 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.8.8

Thanks,
Nishi

Your server claims to do chunked output. That means the first output line=20
contains the length of the first chunk. But it does not obey the protocol.

first chunk



Here an example how it should look like:

$ curl -v 'http://www.bahn.de/p/view/index.shtml' --raw
* About to connect() to www.bahn.de port 80 (#0) =
=20
* Trying 81.200.198.6... connected =

* Connected to www.bahn.de (81.200.198.6) port 80 (#0) =

Torsten Förtsch,

You are awesome! That was it.

I had a line in there just before '$r->print($tmpl->output)'

$r->content_type("text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\n\n");

I removed the two \n and now, it is working great with both IE and FF..

Really, truly appreciate it.
