Problem with rt 3.4 and solaris

Hi All,
Just installed rt 3.4 on Solaris 10 box (SPARC)
WHile trying to do a make initialize-database I get the following:
Creating system user…getservbyname failed for tcp at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Log/Dispatch/Syslog.pm line 77
udp connect: nobody listening at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Log/Dispatch/Syslog.pm line 77

(/opt/rt3/lib/RT.pm:284)
getservbyname failed for tcp at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Log/Dispatch/Syslog.pm line 77

*** Error code 255
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `initialize-database’

I checked the Wiki and my RT_SiteConfig.pm is the following:

more RT_SiteConfig.pm

@LogToSyslogConf = ( socket => ‘inet’ ) unless (@LogToSyslogConf);
1;

ANy other ideas as to how I can fix this, as the above Wiki’s fix does not seem to work. Thanks

Jim

My understanding from an Engineer I called today is that Socket handling

is different. He couldn’t elaborate more as he was late for a meeting.

I will pass on more as I find out.

Have you tried it without that line?

Yes, I have tried with and without. Still same error.

You do not want to define @LogToSyslogConf, as ‘socket => ‘inet’’ is
what you want. I am not sure of the perl and/or RT syntax, but you want
socket=inet.

You also cannot have LOG_FROM_REMOTE=NO in /etc/default/syslogd. It
should be ‘= YES’

Jim,

It may or may not help, but there was a posting about a similar problem
before (Solaris 8) - see

There is also my slightly more brute force fix which seems to work for
some people better than the RT_Siteconfig.pm option
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?NoConnectionToSyslog

I have tried that, to no avail.

Did my suggestion on /etc/default/syslogd not help either?

Actually, that piece came from another blastwave.org maintainer, Ihsan,
on a different problem that we were working on.

What are the risks/problems encountered in using RT3.4 using MySQL 3.23.58
over MySQL 4.0.x?

I have a supported and controlled RH AE3 installation and upgrading this
might require significant numbers of items to be recompiled and perhaps not
supported if it should cause other systems problems.
