Problem With Google Analytics Module in OS X

Help! (Home for newbies)
1

I’ve installed the module successfully by building a custom apache with mod_perl2. That part works fine.

The problem is very strange, if a Webpage is more than 150 lines, the page cuts off right where the Google Analytics code gets inserted.

See Example:
http://www.tonysoffthird.com/test.html

It works great on my Ubuntu servers, but this company insists on using Max OS X.

Any clues in the error_log? This seems like there must be an error somewhere…either mod_perl2 isn’t working, or the code that inserts the tag is broken somehow.

3

Their is nothing in the error log, and nothing in the system log. Does this module have it’s own log?

4

I don’t think so. Now that I’m looking at this, we’ve seen this before in the issue tracker (also on a system with a from-source install of Apache). I’m pretty sure it was a problem with the mod_perl build. I’ll see if I can find that issue in the tracker.

Hmm…OK, so I found one issue about this, but it never got resolved–we’re still awaiting a response from the user.

Do other mod_perl applications work?

6

So is this a problem with mod_perl2 or the Analytics module? I’m not a perl programmer but is their some direction you can point me in? I want to see if it’s possible to split the data the perl filter outputs so it doesn’t cut off.

This is the only mod_perl I use on the server. However, I was able to experiment with the perl module /usr/local/webmin-1.441/virtualmin-google-analytics/Virtualmin/GoogleAnalytics.pm

Te problem for me is around line 68 and 71:

    $buffer = $1.$addscript.$2.$3;
        $added = 1;
}
    $f->print($buffer);

If I trim off the "$1" the google code and the rest of the document prints. However with the "$1" gone, if a add something like this: $f->print("HelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHello");
right before $buffer = $addscript.$2.$3; the document cuts off again.

It’s almost as if it’s too much for mod_perl to print out.
