PerlRequire /data/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

testwreq_wreq · April 10, 2012, 1:13pm

I upgraded centos from 5.5 to 5.8 . I am unable to start the http server.
The error in the logs is
“use” not allowed in expression at /data/rt3/bin/webmux.pl line 49, at end
of line\nsyntax error at /data/rt3/bin/webmux.pl line 49, near “use
strict”\nBEGIN not safe after errors–compilation aborted at /data/rt3/bin/
webmux.pl line 58.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 7) line 1

If the comment the PerlRequire line in my conf file, I can start the httpd
server. Any ideas how to fix this?

Ruslan, Thanks. While I was sending you the script, I found out that I had
an extra # before the perl path. removing that fixed the apache error. I am
able to start the apache server. However, RT still does not work. When I
try to access the RT application via the browser, it gives me a warning…
It is trying to open a file and it seems like that it cannot find the
correct mime type of open the file,

Hi,

I managed to solve exactly the same problem (in my point of view). It
was caused by my mistake:

installation
CentOS 5.x with standard distribution installed Perl → RT installation
and CPAN installation of required Perl modules → RT is working
OS update (CentOS 5.x → CentOS 5.8)

update of all packages including Perl - this was my point of failure
because Perl was after update of RT broken

So I uninstalled all distribution Perl packages (forced uninstall so
dependencies was broken), deleted remaining Perl directories content,
then reinstalled all RPM packages and installed CPAN modules to satisfy
RT requierements.

Finally I excluded all Perl packages from Yum updating (excludepks=perl*
…).

Hope I will help.
