Problems with ApacheDBI

RT Users
1

Hi all,

I installed RT on out-of-box FreeBSD 5.1. Since I had some problems, I
was advised here to upgrade to Perl 5.8.0. So I upgraded everything on
that box, so Perl shoul be up to date. But now when I try to start
Apache, I receive this error message:

rt# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start

Any idea ?

Dusan,

try running this command:

perl -MCPAN -e ‘install DBI’
and because i’m not sure if DBI is the correct thing you’re missing try this
also:

perl -MPCAN -e ‘install Apache::DBI’

Check carefully if make test passes all tests, if not, DBI will not install
itself, you have to force it by going to the .cpan directory in your home
dir, then to build dir, then to DBI dir and run make install.

Also you noted that you have installed perl 5.8.0, but you still have DBI.pm
in your 5.6.1 dir…

perl -MCPAN -e ‘install DBI’
and because i’m not sure if DBI is the correct thing you’re missing
try this also:
perl -MPCAN -e ‘install Apache::DBI’

I already updated them manually:

rt# perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Apache::DBI’
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Mon, 11 Aug 2003 09:44:38 GMT
Apache::DBI is up to date.
rt# perl -MCPAN -e ‘install DBI’
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

Database was generated on Mon, 11 Aug 2003 09:44:38 GMT
DBI is up to date.

That is why I am so confused.

Also you noted that you have installed perl 5.8.0, but you still
have DBI.pm in your 5.6.1 dir…

So how should I remove it. I used ports to upgrade to Perl 5.8.0,

Dusan,

try doing this:

mv /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/DBI.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/DBI.pm.dusan

and re-run the perl -MCPAN lines again…

Btw, where is perl 5.8.0 installed on your machine? /usr/local?

You need to rebuild mod_perl for perl 5.8.0.

Yes, this is the solution. After rebuilding mod_perl2 everything works
fine.
