Im tryin to install rt2.0.4 and am recieving this error
from apache. I saw another guy had the same error so
I’m hopin it may be possible to resolve it.
i saw this post:
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-users/2001-July/003237.html
and put the $@ in the script and the full error i get is:
[Fri Aug 3 15:34:51 2001] [error] RT Couldn’t write to session directory
‘/usr/local/rt/WebRT/sessiondata’. Check that this directory’s permissions are
correct Can’t locate object method “hexhash” via package “MD5” (perhaps you
forgot to load “MD5”?) at /usr/share/perl5/Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm line
26.
(in cleanup) Object already exists in the data store at
/usr/share/perl5/Apache/Session/Store/File.pm line 38.
. at /usr/local/rt/bin/webmux.pl line 144.
the thing im not sure about is which MD5.pm I should be using,
both seem to generate the same error:
gopher:/usr/local/rt# locate MD5.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/Digest/MD5.pm
/usr/share/perl5/Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm
I get matches for the word hexhash if i grep on the
Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm but none on the Digest/MD5.pm
So im using the Session/Generate/MD5.pm.
another odd thing is this:
gopher:/usr/local/rt# apachectl start
Subroutine generate redefined at /usr/share/perl5/Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm
line 18.
Subroutine validate redefined at /usr/share/perl5/Apache/Session/Generate/MD5.pm
line 32.
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started
I don’t know if its important or not ? It does indeed
write to /usr/local/rt/WebRT/sessiondata, if i rm the
file(s) in there and restart apache and try to load the
page it writes this file:
-rw------- 1 www-data www-data 0 Aug 3 15:34 Apache-Session-.lock
my apache server runs as user/group www-data. I saw
another posting reccomending turning on netscape’s
“prompt for cookies” option which i did and i did not
recieve any cookies.
Yet another odd thing during installation was this:

So maybe that has something to do with it? a co worker
had the same error when he was trying to install on a redhat
machine(this is a debian machine)
I too tried to set the session dir to /tmp and it failed
with same error, since its writing to it i know its not
a permissions problem …any ideas?
thanks!
