Overview

EAServer

Debugging

If you are using the Apache or iPlanet redirector plug-in, you can trace requests

by setting this directive in the redirector configuration file:

Connector.SessionId <ConnectorSessionId>

When this directive is set, the value of ConnectorSessionId is appended to the

URL that is forwarded to EAServer. EAServer writes the URL to the server’s

HTTP request log, which may be helpful for debugging. For example, if you

add this to the redirector configuration file:

Connector.SessionId ConnSID

EAServer writes this information to the HTTP request log:

10.22.85.66 - - [28/May/2002:12:11:09 -0800] “GET

/TestHTTPS/?ConnSID=2696_000000000000 HTTP/1.0” 200 51

10.22.85.66 - - [28/May/2002:12:11:24 -0800] “GET

/TestHTTPS/?ConnSID=2888_000000000000 HTTP/1.0” 304 0

10.22.85.66 - - [28/May/2002:12:11:40 -0800] “GET

/TestHTTPS/?ConnSID=2889_000000000000 HTTP/1.0” 304 0

10.22.85.66 - - [28/May/2002:12:11:40 -0800] “GET

/TestHTTPS/?ConnSID=2888_000000000001 HTTP/1.0” 304 0

10.22.85.66 - - [28/May/2002:12:11:40 -0800] “GET

/TestHTTPS/?ConnSID=2889_000000000001 HTTP/1.0” 304 0

In this example, the Apache Web server process 2696 sent one request, process

2888 sent two requests, and process 2889 sent two requests. The connector’s

session ID is computed as:

process identifier of the Web server’s process + request count

Defining a custom error page

You can specify a customized error page for the redirector to override the

default message. To do so, add this setting to the redirector configuration file:

Connector.ErrorPage path-to-file

Where path-to-file is the full path to a text file that contains the alternate error

message.
