Topic: Use of uninitialized value / Internal Server Error

[countzero]

Using 7.x with "yum update" fully up to date.

With perl 5.8.8 installed:

Internal Server Error when trying to access https://myserver.mydomain.com/server-manager

Workaround:

rpm -e --nodeps perl.i386
rpm -e --nodeps perl-suidperl.i386
yum install perl perl-suidperl perl-Time-HiRes \
--disablerepo=* \
--enablerepo=base \
--enablerepo=updates \
--enablerepo=smeos \
--enablerepo=smeupdates \
--enablerepo=smeaddons

After reboot all looks well, except:

When adding/removing users:

rpm -e --nodeps e-smith-manager
yum install e-smith-manager \
--disablerepo=* \

Makes no difference.

I have compared /usr/lib/perl5 dirs + copied dirs from another similar server.

I have compared file sized of /etc/e-smith/web/functions:

I don't know what else to check or do.

Guess my server is fubar...

Any help highly appreciated.

(+update from perl 5.8.5 to 5.8.8 is not without problems; bug 2755 is alive)

[countzero]

Got it solved (finally !!)

For some reason, the files in /etc/e-smith/web/functions were out-of-date.

Copying them from another server solved my problems.

(Note that I am still using perl 5.8.5 as otherwise I will definitively get "Internal Server Error" error messages.)

Feel free to contact me if you need help.

== SOLVED ==

All issues are solved (read: haven't occurred anymore) using SME 7.2 patches.
