greetings!

i hope some good hearted wizard can give time for this...

i'm using ubuntu-desktop 7.10, setting up the WebGUI v 7.5.19 and i was able to comply all instructions at the "source-install", only thing that gives hard time is the perl module installation, i do execute the "testEnvironment.pl" at WebGUI/sbin - most of the modules are succesfully compiled but some are not, here are the list of failed modules:

checkModule("Archive::Zip",                 1.16         );
checkModule("Compress::Zlib",               1.34         );
checkModule("SOAP::Lite",                   0.60         );
checkModule("DateTime",                     0.2901       );
checkModule("DateTime::Format::Strptime",   1.0601       );
checkModule("DateTime::Format::Mail",       0.2901       );
checkModule("Config::JSON",                 "1.1.2"      );
checkModule("Text::CSV_XS",                 "0.52"       );
checkModule("POE::Component::Client::HTTP", 0.77         );
checkModule("Data::Structure::Util",        0.11         );
checkModule("Apache2::Request",             2.06         );
checkModule("Archive::Any",                 "0.093"      );
checkModule("List::MoreUtils",              "0.22"       );

i think this archives are still located at my /root/.cpan/ for whatsoever reason it never had a successful compile compare to other modules that is not on the list above.

i got this on the server log:

[Sun Aug 17 08:11:35 2008] [error] [client 192.168.1.78] failed to resolve handler `WebGUI': Can't locate WebGUI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /etc/apache2) at (eval 2) line 3.\n

the list of failed modules has something in common like:

WARNING: LICENSE is not a known parameter.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite Compress::Zlib 1.14 not found.
'LICENSE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

i really appreciate if someone can give answer to thi

thanks a lot plain black corp!

Hi Jonie,

Welcome to the community. My company has been deploying WebGUI on Ubuntu since 6.06. By, "source-install", I presume that you mean you're using the native Apache, MySQL and Perl as opposed to installing the WRE. I cannot over-stress how much easier it is to use the WRE. If you insist on continuing, here's my suggestions.

First, you need to make sure you get those Perl modules installed. It sounds like you need to run `sudo apt-get install build-essential` so that Perl can build XS modules. Re-run the testEnvironment.pl script after doing that. (You'll need that for WRE also if it needs to build Perl modules with XS extensions).

i got this on the server log:

That error indicates that you have not correctly configured your Apache server as it doesn't know where to find the WebGUI libraries. You're probably missing a statement to load the preload.perl script (e.g., PerlRequire /data/WebGUI/sbin/preload.perl). Also, be sure to double-check your paths.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Cheers,
William

Thanks a lot!

I’m reading some of your replies on other threads; nice inputs. By the way, I am also trying the wre way but I got stuck on some part so I think I should go with source-install for the mean time.

Ok here we go, the reason why I got that server log error is because I put a # on PerlRequire ~/preload.perl at the httpd.conf, right now I have already turn it back on the way it should be.

I did apt-get install build-essential and re-run testEnvironment.pl – everything was installed successfully but at least two modules are still on failed:

POE::Component::Client::HTTP & Apache2::Request

and I think I have problem loading preload perl – please let me have some knowledge on this. I just follow the path /data/WebGUI

Thanks again William!

Hi Jonie,

You are welcome. Glad I could help.

I did apt-get install build-essential and re-run testEnvironment.pl – everything was installed successfully but at least two modules are still on failed:

POE::Component::Client::HTTP & Apache2::Request

What errors are you getting when you try to build these modules? If you don't see any, try installing these modules via CPAN. I'll need to see what errors are being reported to be able to help.

and I think I have problem loading preload perl – please let me have some knowledge on this. I just follow the path /data/WebGUI

I'm not certain but would suspect that the missing libraries are the likely cause of that script failing. Any errors from your modperl error.log would help us to debug.

William

cpan[4]>

i also did Todor's suggestion to obtain it via apt-get, yes i got it succesfully but not in testEnvironment.pl

hhmm..it seems i need to wait a little more to make this thing work, i appreciate it so much thanks a lot Todor!

however, do i need to configure something out of the box,

something that is not on the source-install wiki?

thanks a lot William!

Do you have mod_perl installed on that system? The package would be libapache2-mod-perl2.

It looks like Apache2::Request is having troubles finding the header files. You'd need to install libapache2-mod-perl2-dev to get the headers.

libapache2-mod-perl2, libapreq2 and other stuffs are already loaded in my system…

I’m about to quit this thing, though it’s a really tough and challenging one, after 2 weeks of hurdles… I had finally made it run, LOL! Considering what you’ve mention about wre installation I tried it once more using “wre 0.8.3” and “WebGUI 7.5.21”, doing it dozen of times brought me no luck, because no matter what seating position I do in my room mod_perl doesn’t really starts and when I start the feel of throwing the towel - I notice the advisory of “0.8.4 errata” …hmmm…I see! So I did use wre 0.8.4 and did what the link says http://www.plainblack.com/getwebgui/advisories/wre-0.8.4-errata and BOOM! It’s nice to see WebGUI home page streaming from the server down to my computers browser. It’s time to read Ruling WebGUI! Oh another thing that I have encountered on starting mysql… is to set it using port 3307 instead of 3306 – It somehow conflicts with my system although I had already shut mysql off and even renaming my.cnf to my.cnf.old in /etc/mysql, to change it to another port makes mysql start successfully. I don’t know about other flat forms but as for me... I’m using Ubuntu 7.10 and it works fine for me, Thanks again Todor and William! a good hearted wizards
