[Persistentperl-users] Errors when running with OpenWebmail

[Michael M. <mi...@np...>]

Hi,

My setup is as follows:

* Fedora Core 1
* openwebmail-2.30-20040131
* perl-5.8.1-92
* kernel 2.4.22-1.2149.nptlsmp.
* PersistentPerl (SpeedyCGI) version 2.22-1

All functions work in OWM and have been for some time, except every now then, 
my customers get an "Internal Server Error" within their browsers when they 
try to send email from OWM (by clicking the "New" message icon within OWM).

The following is shown multiple times from the Apache error log when this 
happens:

[Thu Feb 12 14:56:32 2004] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Premature end of 
script headers: openwebmail-send.pl, referer: http://www.xxx.xxx
/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-main.pl
[Thu Feb 12 14:56:32 2004] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Can't use an 
undefined value as filehandle reference at /dev/fd/9 line 8., referer: http:
//www.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-main.pl

A stop and start of the Apache server (with a touch open*pl of OWM's perl 
scripts), usually fixes the problem but only for a short time, as it then 
comes back.

For the permanent fix I had to remove the "perperl" from the openwebmail-send.
pl file, stop and start my httpd server and it seems to be ok now.

I've kept the perperl active on all other openwebmail-???.pl scripts, only 
removed it on the openwebmail-send.pl script.

Any ideas why this occurs or what the error means above? it seems to be 
related to perperl since the removal of perperl from the openwebmail-send.pl 
script does not reproduce the error.

Michael.
