Here I am again; finally reached what I have been afraid of,
which is the performance problem. I get APACHE running and it
seems to run, and I can serve up pages from my HP3000 just
fine, and they come up as fast as I can click the mouse
button but, when I try to get the server to execute a
little script it takes an abysmally long time, like around
10 seconds. This time is about the same weather the target
is a simple script file (sample below) or a little 'c'
program that just does a PRINTOP intrinsic so I can see it
as soon as it starts.
I have been told that fork() needs a lot of contiguous disk
space on LDEV 1, and I have verified that I have at least
one block of 100,000 sectors there. I have a program which
does just printf(), fork(), printf() and it executes (from
the command line) just fine so it isn't fork() itself
unless fork() for some reason takes a long time if it is a
big program like APACHE doing the fork() instead of a
little test program.
The machine is kind of small, a 917, but there is nobody
running anything on it but me.
I hope hope hope this is a bug not a feature, as my
application is worthless if there is a 10 second delay
between screens.
Thanks to all for the help I have gotten so far, and thanks
in advance for more.
This is the html file I point to from the server:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Validator </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>
<h2>This is /APACHEFW/PUB/htdocs/joe/fruit/small.html</h2>
<br>
<h3>Push the button labelled 'start' to execute the</h3>
<h3>file /APACHEFW/PUB/cgi-bin/small.test</h3>
<FORM name="cfmclogin" METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/small.test">
<br>
<table border=0>
<tr> <th colspan=2>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Start">
</table>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
And this is the file 'small.test' which is pointed at by the above
html file:
#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo CGI/1.0 test script report:
echo
echo argc is $#. argv is "$*".
echo
echo CGIXDUMP = $CGIXDUMP
echo CGIXPAUSE = $CGIXPAUSE
echo CONTENT_LENGTH = $CONTENT_LENGTH
echo CONTENT_TYPE = $CONTENT_TYPE
echo REQUEST_METHOD = $REQUEST_METHOD
echo SCRIPT_NAME = $SCRIPT_NAME
