double startup ?

Hello,

I am, at present, testing mod_backhand for Load Balancing.

I have written something like a "mod_perl servlet"  and  its behaviour has changed since I have installed mod_backhand : it seems like ih all the HTTP request were executed twice.

I think that this problem is due to the fact that mod_backhand is started twice as shown in the logs/error_log of Apache :

I am running Linux Fedora Core 1, this is my compilation/installation od mod_backhand/Apache :


# cd /tmp
# tar xvzf apache_1.3.29.tar.gz
# tar xvzf mod_backhand-1.2.2.tar.gz
# tar xvzf mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz
# cd mod_perl-1.29/
# perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache-1.3.29/src PREP_HTTPD=1 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1
# make
# make install
# cd ../mod_backhand-1.2.2/
# ./precompile ../apache_1.3.29/
# cd ../apache_1.3.29/
# ./configure --prefix=/home/apache/ --enable-module=so \
> --enable-module=rewrite --enable-shared=rewrite \
> --enable-module=status --enable-shared=status \
> --enable-module=backhand --enable-shared=backhand \
> --enable-module=unique_id --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
# make
# make install


And my httpd.conf :

<Directory /usr/local/Bus_data/>
 AllowOverride None
 Options None
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 Backhand byAge 6
 Backhand byRandom
 Backhand byLogWindow
 Backhand byCPU
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_backhand.c>
  UnixSocketDir /home/apache/backhand
  MulticastStats 127.0.0.1:4445
  AcceptStats 127.0.0.0/24

  <Location "/backhand/">
    SetHandler backhand-handler
  </Location>
</IfModule>


Do you have any ideas ?

Thank you by advance
