Attempt to reload module.pm aborted.Compilation failed


I have a Perl script that is executing with mod_perl and works as an HTTP server. myServer.pl uses a module.pm. Everything looks fine when I use it with one user. but when I put it under pressure of hundreds of users it gives me this weird error.

[error] Attempt to reload MyModule.pm aborted.\nCompilation failed in require at /var/www/mod_perl/myServer.pl line 36.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /var/www/mod_perl/myServer.pl line 36.

Here is a sample of the beginning of my code for myServer.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
#other use
use lib "/var/www/lib/receipt/pos";
use lib "/var/www/lib/common";
use MyModule;

my $q   = new CGI;
my $myM = new MyModule(requestParams=>$q);
if($myM){
  my $requestId = $myM->requestId;
  #do sth
}else{
    #do sth
}

#other codes

Edit

Here is a code for MyModule.pm

This not all of it because I can't post it all. so I have edited it:

package MyModule;
use strict;
use CGI;
use DBI;
use lib "/var/www/lib/common";
use lib "/var/www/lib/receipt/pos";
use PDBC;
use Request;
use Response;

use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);
my $Log4PerlConf_myLoggerP = q(
        log4perl.category.myLoggerP    = WARN, myLoggerPLogfile
        log4perl.appender.myLoggerPLogfile           = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
        log4perl.appender.myLoggerPLogfile.filename  = /var/www/logs/myLoggerP.Log
        log4perl.appender.myLoggerPLogfile.layout = \
            Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
        log4perl.appender.myLoggerPLogfile.layout.ConversionPattern = (%d) %L> %m %n
);
Log::Log4perl->init_once(\$Log4PerlConf_myLoggerP);
my $loggermyLoggerP = get_logger("myLoggerP");

        return TRUE;
    }else{
        return FALSE;
    }   

};

1;

This may have syntax errors, but it doesn't in my real code (this is a sample code I've edited the names and some other codes). It works except when hundreds of users send request at the same time it crashes.


Solution

  • My problem has been solved. The Log::Log4perl module was causing this error. It was used in MyModule.pm. I have used it before (in other projects) without problems. but this time it seemed like it couldn't create a log file in the directory specified, although it didn't give me any errors in /var/log/httpd/error_log related to Log::Log4perl! sooooo annoying. I tried everything. and when I deleted Log::Log4perl from my project it worked without problem even under pressure of thousands of users.

    For those who have the same issue: you have to look into your code and see if there are any other modules used in your code (this might be modules inside modules) that is not working properly.
