Re: Apache::RequestRec::notes stays wrong usage

Perrin,

I have installed Apache::Session manger but somehow it is not working.
I am not being prompted for password after the specified timeout. Is
there a way to debug this issue. I have added the following in the
httpd.conf file
************************
PerlSetVar SessionManagerTracking On
PerlSetVar SessionManagerExpire 90
PerlSetVar SessionManagerInactivity 90
**************************

FYI:
I have added the following code to the Smb.pm script. I did this to
stop the password request popups in case of multi frame web pages
******************************************
use Fcntl qw(:flock);
  open S, "> /home/gaccr1/fdmg/web2/logs/AuthenSmb.lck" or
  die "Can't open AuthenSmb.lck: $!\n";
  flock S, LOCK_EX;
  close S;
************************************
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Raja
