Topic: DBD/DBI Installation on 5.5

[Mahmood Al-Yousif]

I've successfully installed Postgresql on SME 5.5. I intend to use the installation to run the sql-ledger software (http://www.sql-ledger.com) which seems worth investigating.

I've gotten sql-ledger to work as far as displaying the admin page etc is concerned, but am facing a problem in that the page links result in error 500's.

On investigating in the /var/log/httpd/error-log I get the following messages which relate to DBD and DBI installations (no rpms availalbe for the versions that I want and I don't know how to create RPMs (yet!)):
[Mon Jul 29 15:24:25 2002] [error] [client 192.168.0.11] Premature end of script headers: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ledger/html/admin.pl

Perhaps a module that DBD::Pg requires hasn't been fully installed
 at SL/User.pm line 198
Compilation failed in require at /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ledger/html/admin.pl line 89.

I did install the "DBD-Pg-0.73-1" rpm (rpmfind) however the version required by the software is more recent (1.13) and that is available only on source, as SME does not have the "make" program I cannot compile it locally.

Has anyone installed DBD and DBI (latest or recent versions) or at least can point me to a How-To build an RPM on a remote system then install them on SME?

Many thanx
Mahmood

Hi Mahmood,

I succesfully installes sql-ledger 2 weeks ago. I installed both DBD and DBI without problems. I'm changing the current how-to for installation on SME 5.5 (or are you..?)


All the files needed are here:
http://www.star-support.com/downloads/mitel/contrib/sql-ledger/

Demo can be found here:

user: demo
pass: demo

Have fun.

Hi,

My websit
http://www.hklinux.no-ip.com/SQL-Ledger/

[Mahmood Al-Yousif]

Thanks for that. No please go ahead and complete the how-to as you've started it and this is my first experience with both sql-ledger and postgresql.

Thank you. Those files are just what were needed!

I have followed the instructions in the install.htm until I create the custom template directory, then I cannot find the files I need to copy into it.

Could someone please point me in the direction of these files or mail them to me?

Thankyou

Hi,

cp 50DirectoryIndex00 /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/
cp 50DirectoryIndex00PHP /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/
cp 80AddHandler00 /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/
cp 90e-smithAccess40ibays /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

The above command will copy the template fragments from /etc/e-smith/templatesetc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/ to the new custom template.

You have to change to dir /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/ and then execute the commands.

I get "this page cannot be displayed"

http://tbcomputing.com/account/admin.pl

I get "you are not authorised to view this page"

http://account/

I get "this page cannot be displayed"

http://tbcomputing.com/account/

I get "index of /account"

Any help please
