dbiproxy - A proxy server for the DBD::Proxy driver
dbiproxy <options> --localport=<port>
This tool is just a front end for the DBI::ProxyServer package. All it does is picking options from the command line and calling DBI::ProxyServer::main(). See DBI::ProxyServer for details.
Available options include:
my $rootdir = '/var/dbiproxy'; my $unixsockdir = '/tmp'; my $unixsockfile = 'mysql.sock'; foreach $dir ($rootdir, "$rootdir$unixsockdir") { mkdir 0755, $dir; } link("$unixsockdir/$unixsockfile", "$rootdir$unixsockdir/$unixsockfile"); require DBD::mysql; { 'chroot' => $rootdir, ... }
If you don't know chroot(), think of an FTP server where you can see a certain directory tree only after logging in. See also the --group and --user options.
GID's can be passed as group names or numeric values.
If you are running Perl 5.005 and did compile it for threads, then the server will create a new thread for each connection. The thread will execute the server's Run() method and then terminate. This mode is the default, you can force it with "--mode=threads".
If threads are not available, but you have a working fork(), then the server will behave similar by creating a new process for each connection. This mode will be used automatically in the absence of threads or if you use the "--mode=fork" option.
Finally there's a single-connection mode: If the server has accepted a connection, he will enter the Run() method. No other connections are accepted until the Run() method returns (if the client disconnects). This operation mode is useful if you have neither threads nor fork(), for example on the Macintosh. For debugging purposes you can force this mode with "--mode=single".
UID's can be passed as group names or numeric values.
