[Teviot]

I found a problem with the METADOT contrib (http://wiki.contribs.org/Metadot). The install proceedure goes well until about 2/3 of the way though

Try removing perl-Test-Builder-Tester-1.01-1.2.el4.rf or simply just remove perl-Test-Simple as in the example below, but I would recommend removing perl-Test-Builder-Tester-1.01-1.2.el4.rf first

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates --enablerepo=addons --enablerepo=dag install perl-GD perl-GD-Graph perl-GD-Graph3d perl-GD-Text-Util perl-Date-Pcalc perl-Email-Valid perl-Apache-DBI perl-AppConfig perl-Archive-Tar perl-Archive-Zip perl-Bit-Vector perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Data-Compare perl-Date-Calc perl-ExtUtils-PkgConfig perl-File-Find-Rule perl-File-HomeDir perl-HTML-Format perl-HTML-Template perl-HTML-Tree perl-Image-Base perl-Image-Size perl-Lingua-EN-NameParse perl-LWP-UserAgent-Determined perl-Mail-POP3Client perl-MailTools perl-HTTP-BrowserDetect perl-HTTP-Server-Simple perl-HTTP-Request-Form perl-HTTP-DAV perl-MIME-tools perl-Number-Compare perl-Number-Format perl-OLE-Storage_Lite perl-Parse-RecDescent perl-Pod-POM perl-Spreadsheet-WriteExcel perl-Template-Toolkit perl-Test-Builder-Tester perl-Test-Manifest perl-Test-SimpleUnit perl-Text-Autoformat perl-Text-CSV_XS perl-Unicode-String perl-XML-Dumper perl-XML-RSS perl-XML-Simple

Thank you

That fixed it ( removing perl-Test-Builder-Tester-1.01-1.2.el4.rf )

[Teviot]

now I have 2 problem, including my web server not working, and this is where I don't know what to do as I don't know perl or how to fix my web server.

I followed the instructions "copy" & "paste" where it said to change things.

speedy_backend[5268]: perl_parse error
speedy[5266]: Cannot spawn backend process
[root@gateway metadot]#
[root@gateway metadot]#
Any Ideas anyone?

Teviot

[fixit]

Cannot spawn backend process

this means that mod_perl is not activated and or speedy cgi is not installed either

run this command to activate mod_perl

config setprop modPerl status enabled

also, check the Modify Metadot configuration file section of the metadot howto

then run the index.pl command again

with your web server not working, I would try removing the 87Metadot in the /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

then run these commands

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

then check what your web server is doing, if it works again, double check the 87Metadot against the one in the metadot howto and then restart apache again

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

if you get errors again, go into /var/log/httpd and post errors here, so we can find what the actual problem is caused by

Thanks Fixit

The wbe server is working again.  I now am left with the problem of metadot.  I think that my porblem(s) start with the "87metadot" file.

The instructions ont the web page are as follows

Code: [Select]

pico 87Metadot



#Metadot

   ServerName yourdomain.com
   
   DocumentRoot         /opt/metadot/metadot
   Alias /metadot /opt/metadot/metadot

   AllowOverride All
   allow from all
   AddHandler  cgi-script .pl
   PerlHandler speedy::Registry
   PerlSendHeader      On
   DirectoryIndex      index.pl
</Directory>

Save by pressing Ctrl x, press y to save changes and press enter

At the top has

Code: [Select]

ServerName yourdomain.com should that have been changed or left as is?

Then the

Code: [Select]

cd /opt/metadot/metadot
Next, run the index.pl file on the command line :

perl index.pl
if no errors go to next step
still fails. Will check them again and test it soon.

Also untill I got the web server running again I had a syntax error in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Invalid command

Code: [Select]

www
Don't know whether that helps locate the problem but I thought I would mention it

Teviot

[fixit]

OK, remove the line ServerName yourdomain.com from 87metadot

what version of sme are you using run the rpm -qa | grep to see what version if any you are using

rpm -qa | grep smeserver-release

rpm -qa | grep mod_perl

rpm -qa | grep perl-CGI-Persistent

rpm -qa | grep perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI

the above commands should show what version they are, as in example below, please provide output in return post of what versions you have

rpm -qa | grep smeserver-release = smeserver-release-7.*-*.el4.sme

rpm -qa | grep mod_perl = mod_perl-1.99_16-4.5

rpm -qa | grep perl-CGI-Persistent = perl-CGI-Persistent-1.00-2.0.1.el4.sme

rpm -qa | grep perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI = perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI-2.22-1.2.el4.rf



these are a list of perl modules that should be installed for metadot to work,

run this command rpm -qa | grep perl*.* |more and compare it with the list below, if most of these are not showing, then it is possible that the Dag repository did not pick up the perl modules that are needed for metadot

check your httpd.conf file located in /etc/httpd/conf

at, or around line 113 you should see something like LoadModule perl_module   modules/mod_perl.so

do you have something like this in your httpd.conf file, if so, does it have an # in front of it, if so, then run the following commands

config setprop modPerl status enabled
