Error when searching (long)

Hi,

When searching I get an error. “no connection to syslog available at” seems bogus, since I get a lot of stuff in my syslog, see below. It seems FastCGI tries to write to /dev/conslog, that is stupid. FreeBSD has a symlink /dev/log -> /var/run/log, which is a unix domain socket.

Logging configuration is not altered from default, i.e.

Set($LogToSyslog , ‘debug’);
Set($LogToScreen , ‘error’);
Set($LogToFile , undef);
Set($LogDir, ‘/usr/local/rt3/var/log’);
Set($LogToFileNamed , “rt.log”); #log to rt.log

I have no errors in the database log, all it does is fetch the session object and updates it.

After logging in, I click “Tickets” choose for example “Queue is XXX” and click search. Boom. I expect that the syslog error is not the real error, but this is all I get, right?

I run RT 3.0.10, Freebsd 4.9, postgresql 7.4.2, perl 5.8.3. FastCGI.

Help appreciated!

Well, Still, I guess there is an error underneath in RT, that I cannot see,
or it wouldn’t try to log to syslog?

It is up to date.

Tried Set($LogToScreen , undef);
no difference.

Sounds like the old Solaris-tickled bug in Log::Dispatch::Syslog –
the module refuses to work if /dev/log isn’t a socket, IIRC.

Workaround: Set($LogToSyslog, undef) and log your debugs to a file
instead.

OK, that’s interesting. I thought that one was fixed in 3.0.10.
It’d be interesting to see what led up to that – in particular,
what search criteria were last submitted…
