I have been trying to install Apache::Test which is a pre-requisite for something else. But I get this message:
*** result: NOK !!! You are running the test suite under user 'root'. Apache cannot spawn child processes as 'root', therefore we attempt to run the test suite with user 'nobody' (99:99). The problem is that the path: /root/.cpan/build/Apache-Test-1.05/t must be 'rwx' by user 'nobody', so Apache can read and write under that path.
Yet the directory is chmod=777 for nobody.
Anybody got any clues where I go from here?
well, first try installing as somebody other than root, perhaps not using the CPAN.pm shell. try just grabing the tarball from
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GEOFF/Apache-Test-1.05.tar.gz
unzip to your personal (non-root) home directory or something and then just
$ perl Makefile.PL $ make && make test $ su # make install
Or change your /root/.cpan to be /tmp/cpan or be under some other dir which is accessible (rwx) under 'nobody' or your normal username.
