Topic: SME Package List

[Agent86]

Hi

Where can I find a list of features and package list included with SME 7

[dsemuk]

http://www.wellsi.com/sme/info/smebase.php will give you a list of packages.

You are using SMEserver so should have a pretty good idea of the fetures it offers.

rpm -qa

Thanks,

The script I'm trying to run requires the following:

Perl, CGI, GD, Curl, ImageMagik, be able to read/write in the cgi-bin folder and know the path to the script.

I can't seem to determine if I meet the requirements
Please advise

I'm assuming imagemagick is not installed, I've installed it with yum with no appearant problems.

Is there anything else I'm missing ?

Thanks

Hi all I'm restating this:

Do I have this on my SME 7

Perl, CGI, GD, Curl, ImageMagik
My script says I must be able to read/write in the cgi-bin folder and know the path to the script.

I used yum to add imageMagik no appearant install problem that I can see, but how do I test to see if it's working ?
And there appears to be other imageMagik addons that I don't understand what they are or if I need to install those as well, for my auction script to work properly.

So what about the rest, do I have Perl,CGI,GD,Curl ?

Please advise

Did you run "rpm -qa" and have a look and see if there was anything which looked like Perl or CGI or GD or Curl?

Hi and thanks

I'll try again, it scrolled so fast I could not see it, so I have to find the commands to only show a screen at a time

Thanks for the help I'll post once I get this to scroll so I can view it

Cactus explained for you how to search for packages containing certain words such as Curl, PHP etc.

Just do

#rpm -qa > /root/rpm.txt

and this will output the result to a text file in root.

Don't you love it when people won't answer in way you can understand?  The website cited above indicates that Curl and Perl are part of the distribution, but GD and ImageMagik are not.  GD should be available from CPAN.org.

CGI isn't a program, it's a method of passing information from webservers/pages to and from other applications - Common Gateway Interface.    

Need to check if the RPMs were installed?  Try rpm -qa |less.  Less will permit you to page through the output going forward by pressing 'f' or the space bar, and backward by pressing 'b'.  

You may have noticed already that Linux users tend to be arrogant asses who would rather waste bandwidth telling you to rtfm than comprehend that you might have rtfm and it doesn't make sense.

This is the most awsome answer I have every read in my entire life

I do appreciate all the help from everyone,but it can't get any better then this.THANK YOU
That gives me some things to do like installing GD and such which could be why my script will not write properly cause it needs GD

If I can't get this done myself properly, I've got this project listed on guru.com for webserver diagnoses and install. To hire some freelancers to fix/diagnose some more etc. so just fyi.

Basically I'll have to setup a seperate server and give full ssh access for someone to play with an SME server and get it working properly.

But in any case this gets me in the right direction thanks again.

Next question is perhaps what about GD in yum is it there ? for easy install ?

   I'll keep working on it.

Just curious. What script are you trying to run?

[Agent86]

Well, It is an auction script which was tested on unix/linux servers.
And Windows 2003 servers.

Here is the GPL script which incidentally I purchases off ebay.
ftp://cyberspace@foolishlys.com/phpauction

It doesn't really have a name that I could find:
I've got it loaded at: www.foolishlys.com

But it's not fully working yet and appearantly it is only suppose to work using IE, but since it's not working properly I can't confirm that either.

Once it's working I'll most likely have it edited to work with all other browsers as well.

Thanks

Thank you, but it's just an answer.

I've never used YUM, but try this from the command line:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

you should get a shell prompt from which typing '?' will get some info for you.

To keep it short, at the prompt type in           install GD

After all is said and done, I believe you'll find that it still doesn't work.  LIne 14 of auction.pl has this statement: require "config.pl";

Your error log will tell you that the "some path name that ends with config.pl" isn't in @INC then tells you what paths are in @INC.

Until the path to config.pl is included in the @INC variable or the file is copied to one of the exisitng @INC directories, it ain't gonna work.  This is a configuration problem that should have been addressed by the authour of the perl script in the installation information.

My guess - this isn't the only error in the scripts that will cause problems - the author should provide installation assistance!

Thanks for the response

Perhaps your right, I thought I had this worked out, and the author even installed it for me once, but I made the changes to the auction.pl to include the path as such:
require "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/cgi-bin/auction/config.pl";

Both auction.pl and config.pl are in the auction directory which are in the cgi-bin.

Thanks again for the info

I've tried to install GD but it asked where is the gdlib and I selected the default, not know where it was, user/lib and it appeared to install ok up to this point, and then at the end it says it could not make file or something impossible to make I'll have to run again to be sure of the exact errors message.

Anyhow thanks again I'll keep working on it.
