Showing headers of Set Cookie instead of setting them properly

[Nathaniel Brown]

I just setup passenger (2.0.6) on OSX with Apache 2 and everything
works well as far as the Rails app goes, but when I try to register a
user, there is a method in resful_authentication that runs
kill_remember_cookie! which executes cookies.delete :auth_token.

When that is run, I see in the header the whole Set Cookie in plain
text rather than it actually modifying the header itself.

Set-Cookie:
_dev_session=BAh7CDoQX2NzcmZfdG9rZW4iMU9MU2x3ZUk1a0lZcnF1elVKUXZvWmNMTGpPN2xXWWRTK202dXNUSDRqNWs9Og9zZXNzaW9uX2lkIiU0YjIzNjgyOGFkOTcwMTEwMjc1OTI0MmEwMjI3NjhiDDBKmxhc2hJQzonQWN0aW9uQ29udHJvbGxlcjo6Rmxhc2g6OkZsYXNoSGFzaHsGOgplcnJvciJkV2UgY291bGRuJ3Qgc2V0IHVwIHRoYXQgYWNjb3VudCwgc29ycnkuICBQbGVhc2UgdHJ5IGFnYWluLCBvciBjb250YWN0IGFuIGFkbWluIChsaW5rIGlzIGFib3ZlKS4GOgpAdXNlZHsGOwhG--

It works fine when running Mongrel, but in mod_rails it seems to fail
to set the cookie. Is there some sort of setting I need to enable for
passenger to work with cookies properly?

[Hongli Lai]

It should work without setting anything.

Do you have a small test app with which I can reproduce the problem?

Ok, so I just setup a Rails app template (new in 2.3.0). If you grab a
copy of Edge Rails and run this..

ruby vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails ~/tmp-project -m
http://gist.github.com/raw/cf0c68cacb734e56c0bb/8084113539bd1dee57714f81bd6b1e5aa29e7f85/gistfile1.rb

You will get a default app all setup and everything with the plugins
and such. Simply set it up in a virtual host in Passenger, then visit
the root url and hit submit on the signup form. You should get a Set
Cookie header in plain text on the page.

As a side note, I even tried deploying it to my Centos box as well and
that had the same problem so it doesn't seem to be local to my OSX
install.

Nathan.

I've confirmed that this problem is already fixed in Phusion Passenger
git master. Please use that instead.

[Nathaniel Brown]

Ahh sweet deal. I should be able to build the gemspec and install the
generated gem overtop of the old one? or is there a more elegant way?

[Nathaniel Brown]

Just seen the info on the readme at github for install via source.
Thanks for the help, I'll let you know if there are any problems.

[Nathaniel Brown]

I just tried installing the gem. The rake package went well, but the
command after didn't execute properly. Here is the output.

http://gist.github.com/67783

# ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-linux]

# httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.59

Lemme know what else you need to debug.

Nathan.

[Nathaniel Brown]

Oh, and installing it on OSX went well and did fix the problem, just
leaves the server itself.

Seems like a bug in the build system.

Do you have the commands apr-config and apu-config (or
apr-1-config/apu-1-config)?

What do you see if you type the following in the Passenger source directory?
irb -Ilib -rphusion_passenger/platform_info
PlatformInfo.apr_config
PlatformInfo.apu_config

[Hongli Lai]

I think I've fixed the build system bug. Could you pull from git master
and try again?

[Nathaniel Brown]

Ok so I see the new APR detections.. cool. They both fail on my
system, but worked for the previous version.

* GNU C++ compiler... found at /usr/bin/g++
* Ruby development headers... found

yum search apr | grep installed

apr-util.i386 0.9.4-22.el4 installed

Seems I have them but the versions are not a precise match. But I
would figure it should still find them?

# irb -Ilib -rphusion_passenger/platform_info
irb(main):001:0> PlatformInfo.apr_config
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> PlatformInfo.apu_config

# apr-config --version
0.9.4
# apu-config --version
0.9.4

What is the output of:
apxs2 -q APR_CONFIG

(type 'apxs' if 'apxs2' doesn't exist)

[Nathaniel Brown]

# apxs -q APR_CONFIG
apxs:Error: Invalid query string `APR_CONFIG'

Can you paste the contents of your config_vars.mk somewhere? You can
find the location of this file with the following command:

grep 'installbuilddir =' /path/to/apxs2

For example, on my machine, I get:

hongli@hoshino ~$ grep 'installbuilddir =' /usr/bin/apxs2
my $installbuilddir = "/usr/share/apache2/build";

My config_vars.mk is therefore /usr/share/apache2/build/config_vars.mk

Beautiful!! It works very well. Many thanks Hongli for fixing this.
