[Tclhttpd-users] cgi problems.

[petrus v. <pet...@si...>]

Hi Brent,

Although cgi is running I have the feeling it is not so stabil as before.

I adapted Dave Maggianos Bugtracking Database and wrapped it and have now +/- 15 users accessing this tool

One of them reported following error:

Got the error Service Temporarily Unavailable
while trying to obtain /oca/a/bugt.cgi.
Too many CGI's

The error file got many such entries:

[07/Nov/2000:15:34:57] nosock bgerror {Tue Nov 07 15:34:57 MET 2000
can't unset "data": no such variable
    while executing
"unset data"
    (procedure "HttpdCloseFinal" line 14)
    invoked from within
"HttpdCloseFinal $sock"
    (procedure "Httpd_SockClose" line 44)
    invoked from within
"Httpd_SockClose sock8 1 timeout"
    ("after" script)}
 [07/Nov/2000:15:35:16] sock8 timeout  /oca/a/bugt.cgi
 [07/Nov/2000:15:35:49] sock8 timeout
 [07/Nov/2000:15:35:49] sock8 CloseError {can not find channel named "sock8"}
 [07/Nov/2000:15:35:49] nosock bgerror {Tue Nov 07 15:35:49 MET 2000
can't unset "data": no such variable
    while executing
"unset data"
    (procedure "HttpdCloseFinal" line 14)
    invoked from within
"HttpdCloseFinal $sock"
    (procedure "Httpd_SockClose" line 44)
    invoked from within
"Httpd_SockClose sock8 1 timeout"
    ("after" script)}
 [07/Nov/2000:15:36:07] sock8 timeout  /oca/a/bugt.cgi
 [07/Nov/2000:15:36:08] sock8 Error 504 /oca/a/bugt.cgi {Too many CGI's} /oca/a/bugt.cgi
 [07/Nov/2000:15:36:16] sock8 Error 504 /oca/a/bugt.cgi {Too many CGI's} /oca/a/bugt.cgi

Do these entries cause an unproper cleaning of the Cgi array?

What can cause an overflow ?

The operations do not take that long.

For what do I have to look for in David Maggianos code.

Forget to close a socket for example?

Another indices might be that rather often there comes a popup window with the message

... contained no data ..

I will not restart server and bugt to clean up everything.

I'm getting acustomed with your debug URL.

For debugging purposes I can print out some additional stuff when this happens again in the future.
