[Openinteract-help] Problem at first access: can't locate object method "..."

[Florian H. <fh...@in...>]

Hi.

I justed installed OI 1.40 on a Powerbook running OS X 10.1.5 with Perl
5.6.0, Apache 1.2.23 (patched version to fix OS X specific problems with
libapreq), mod_perl 1.27 and PostgreSQL as database.

Installation ran very smooth - but on the first access with a browser I get
this error message:

Can't locate object method "parse" via package
"OpenInteract::Cookies::Apache" at /Library/Perl/OpenInteract.pm line 253.

I tried to comment this line out just to see what happens, but it seems as
if this is a more systematic problem as I get a similar error for line 256.

I don't have a linux based system around at the moment, so I cannot try it
on a "proved working" plattform.

Anyway, my question is, might that be the same issue as mentioned in the
NOTES section of the man page for OpenInteract? And if so - has anyone
discovered what the exact problem is?

Thanks for listening,
Florian

Do you mean Apache 1.3.23?

It sounds like something wasn't initialized properly. Do you see
anything in the Apache server error log (where messages generated
during the OpenInteract::Apache process go) or the virtual host error
log? Also try setting DEBUG to 1 and restart the server to get more
messages in the vhost log.

I'm pretty confident this is a different problem. The 'NOTES' item
happens after a number of requests, usually when there were memory
issues from out-of-control processes. (I haven't seen this happen for
over a year, so I think these problems were fixed.)

Oh yes I meant 1.3.23 - sorry for the typo.

Okay. Here are the messages generated at server startup:

Note: all of the shown messages are not present when I exclude the OI

A request via browser creates the following entries in the OI error log:

Is this of any help to you?

These are a separate issue, I think.

These look ok too. This is the first time I've seen the DBI error, but I
don't think it's a big deal. (Actually, it probably means you're not
using Apache::DBI.)

This is dying where you'd normally parse your cookies and create your
session. This may be a problem with Apache::Cookie. Try changing the
class we use to parse the cookies. In $WEBSITE_DIR/conf/server.ini,
modify the line:

[system_alias]
cookies         = OpenInteract::Cookies::Apache

to read:

[system_alias]
cookies         = OpenInteract::Cookies::CGI

And restart the server to see what happens. (You might also set DEBUG at
the top of the server.ini file to 2 to see more information.)
