hey everyone, so I know that 127.0.0.1 or localhost just loops back to your local machine. However, I don't understand what occurs on the packet level when you actually type in 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' One of my co-workers speculated that each computer has some sort of internal...

hey everyone, i'm starting to learn how to use Apache, and so I've been reading up on web servers in general. I just have a few questions: 1) Different ports are reserved for different protocols, right? For example, HTTP is always done on port 80? 2) Network protocols (e.g. FTP, HTTP...

ok, so I don't think I had Apache2 or mod_perl installed before. I installed both with synaptic package manager, but there's still no ap_release.h. wtf...does anyone know where the hell I can find ap_release.h??

Well, I think I've made some progress, so I'm not sure if taking a look at Makefile.PL is necessary. Here's what I've done: It turns out there are two perl5 directories on my machine. I'm having a hard time copying the mod_perl-2.0.4 directory to both, so I'm just using it one perl5 directory...

I took a look at Makefile.PL, and to be honest, I have no idea what it's trying to do. I'm barely able to write simple file I/O code in Perl, much less understand this thing. I'll keep trying though... Thanks for your help so far, Borg.

Sorry, didn't see your second post. I'm only using Ubuntu. No Windows here :)

No I haven't been running as the root user. I didn't see anything in the instructions telling me to do so. I guess I missed it. But since Ubuntu doesn't have a root password by default, would I have to say something like "sudo perl Makefile.PL"? I did a search of the file system for 'apxs' and...

hi everyone, I'm trying to install the following Perl module: mod_perl-2.0.4 And I've been trying to following these directions (specifically, the "if you're on UNIX" section): http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html Now, I extracted the files and placed the new directory into my perl5...

hey kote, After doing some more reading, it turns out that my scripts are mod_perl-based. So I was wondering if you could recommend some good mod_perl documentation? also, a quick question: What is "$r" in the context of mod_perl? Is it some kind of cookie that's sent to the server (just a...

Ah, this is great! Thanks so much! I'll definitely be looking into this some more. I'm not sure if my programs are CGI-based or mod_perl-based. Probably neither at this point because the Perl programs I've written so far are very basic (the most complicated one does some very basic file I/O...

hey everyone, I'm a 3rd year uni student studying software engineering, and I recently got my first job working in an IT office at my school. One of my first assignments is to combine two Perl modules that deal with the Apache web server. I've never done work with Perl or Apache before, but...

I'm learning about memory management in my programming languages class, and I thought it would be beneficial to post a small write-up detailing my current understanding so that more knowledgeable people could critique (and hopefully expand) it. Static: Static allocation refers to objects &...

I just have a general question that I came up with while doing homework for my database class. I was asked to write a specific query, and when I checked my answer against the posted solutions, it was different. I don't know that much SQL (yet), but I'm pretty sure that my query would produce the...

No, I haven't written any queries yet. But if SQL is based on relational algebra, does that mean that most, if not all, relational database management systems have relational algebra operations somewhere in their implementation? For example, if I call a SELECT operation on a table, am I really...
