Can't locate loadable object DBD::mysql in @INC

2002-08-17 Thread Nik

Hello Everyone,

We are attempting to use a Perl script to access MySQL on Red Hat Linux 
release 7.2 (Enigma) Kernel 2.4.7-10 on an i686
Unfortunately, the below error keeps appearing:

-
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module 
DBD::mysql in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 1) 
line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.
Perhaps a module that DBD::mysql requires hasn't been fully installed
 at ./mysqltest1 line 7
---
 
We have installed:

mysql-3.23.49-3.i386.rpm
mysql-server-3.23.49-3.i386.rpm
mysql-devel-3.23.49-3.i386.rpm

Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219
DBI-1.30
DBD-mysql-2.1018

All have tested fine.  Of course, mySQL works fine with PHP scripts.
We have also upgraded Perl from 5.6 to 5.8 using cpan.

Addionally we have copied the objects to the directory that @INC is 
looking in.

cp -p -R  /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux  
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux

Now we receive this error: 
--

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: 
Perl_get_sv

 -

My guess would be to get "@INC" {per the initial error} to look into the 
proper directory {/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux} and not 
{/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux}
 
Where is the @INC and how can we change it? or any added advice would be 
appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Nik

Re: Can't locate loadable object DBD::mysql in @INC

2002-08-17 Thread Wiggins d'Anconia

Changing @INC would work, but to save yourself hassle later and possibly 
to avoid further problems you might consider upgrading/re-installing 
DBI, and DBD-mysql through CPAN as well, as that should fix the problems 
and keep your CPAN installation contiguous, aka you upgraded Perl 
through CPAN so you should upgrade all your modules in the same manner.

install Mysql should do this, as Mysql will check for DBI as a 
dependency and get it at the same time.

Make sure to invoke CPAN with Perl 5.8.0 executable rather than the 
previous one.

Re: How fatalsToBrowser works ?

2002-08-17 Thread Connie Chan

Thanks everybody, I've made it =))


package Die4CGI;
use strict;

$main::SIG{__DIE__} = \&Die4CGI::die;

sub die
{ my $dieMesg = shift; $dieMesg =~ s/ at .+$//;
  my ($package, $file, $line) = caller;
  $file =~ s/^C:\\Server\\Staff\\Connie\\Project\\onTry\\/\\/;
  $file =~ s/\\/\//g;
  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  print <<"HTML";
# A lot of html #
  Garfield said: $dieMesg happens at: $file line $line.
# A lot of html #
HTML
; exit(0);
}

1;


So I can call it like the normal :

use strict;
use Die4CGI;

my $file = 'somewhere/somewhere';
open FH, $file or die "$!"; # prints what I want 

Another fatalsToBrowser, simple and lovely!! ;)

*BUT!! I still not understand, how can this overided
the orgional "die" ? Why shouldn't I write as :
open FH, $file or Die4CGI::die($!) ;

Would anybody tell me more ? 

Rgds,
Connie

Re: Can't locate loadable object DBD::mysql in @INC

2002-08-17 Thread Nik


Thank you for the help, it is appreciated. 

   
 
We installed DBI and DBD first manually by downloading the modules.
 
Which was probably a mistake but immediately upgraded to Perl 5.8.0 from   

5.6.0 through CPAN.
 
Rebooted the server.   
 
   
 
That problem occurred. 
  
I removed the DBI and DBD files manually and used CPAN this time.  
 
perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI'   
 
perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql'
 

Installation was Successful
   
 
Rebooted the server.   
 
   
 
[root@elocalhost /]$ perl -v   
 
   
 
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i686-linux  
 
   
 
[root@localhost /]$ perl -c -MDBD::mysql -e '1'
 
-e syntax OK

@INC is still looking in the wrong place. Is there away to have @INC look  
 
into the current location?

Thanks in advance,

Re: How fatalsToBrowser works ?

2002-08-17 Thread Gunther Birznieks

You might find this link useful...

http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/perl_reference/perl_reference.html#Exception_Handling_for_mod_perl

Basically, fatalsToBrowser is "OK" to use, but it can be fraught with 
underlying issues that Matt outlines pretty well in the above URL. Has 
also given a talk on the subject at the last couple of O'Reilly conferences.

As an aside, at eXtropia, therer was a period of a couple years where we 
used fatalsToBrowser quite a bit. And everytime some incompatibility 
happened with mod_perl or some other advanced environment, we'd submit 
the bug (and sometimes a sample patch) to Lincoln Stein who has been 
very helpful.

However, Perl 5.6.0 in particular ruined all of that for us by changing 
the behavior of how fatalsToBrowser worked making eval {} tests 
impossible to use in your code. 5.6.1 fixed the problem, but there are 
MANY ISPs still running 5.6.0 and our support email volume skyrocketted.

So now when we give out scripts we provide a "debug" version of the CGI 
which calls the original CGI behind the scenes wrapped in an eval system 
that can do the same thing as fatals To Browser. When you are done 
"debugging", the intention is that you disable it by changing $DEBUG = 0 
instead of $DEBUG = 1 or you delete the debug script off your directory.

Generally, you shouldn't enable fatalsToBrowser in production as a 
general security practice.

The nice thing about making the debug into a separate script that calls 
the original CGI is that if you want to re-enable debugging output in 
production, your production users pointing to the main CGI script will 
not get any additional information. But you can still troubleshoot with 
the "debug" version of the URL which your production users won't have 
(unless they've been hacking around).

This is similar in concept to the fact that CGIWRAP has a debug and 
nondebug version I think. Or at least that's the inspiration for me to 
have written this. If you want this "debug" wrapper program, you can get 
it by downloading just about any app off our website such as "address 
book". If you download "address book", you will see "address_book.cgi 
and address_book_debug.cgi". The debug one can be easily modified to 
work with your CGI script and as far as I know has no weird Perl version 
problems like fatalsToBrowser.

Later,
   Gunther

Online installer

2002-08-17 Thread Soheil Shaghaghi

Hello everyone,
Can anyone tell me how to create an online cgi installer?
Details:
I have a program that want to install on my user's website upon their
request.
What I am looking for is some kind of form which the user fills out entering
their ftp username/password, the directory where they want the program to be
installed, the name of the directory, and some variables, like the color of
the page, admin password, which will directly be inputted into the script
after the installation is completed.

Can anyone tell me how to do this, or if anyone has a sample to send me, it
will be much appreciated.

Thanks so much,
Soheil

Where are those 'website' located ? Do you mean you
need a configurator at your local(server) side ?

Hi,
The programs are located on a website, and I want to offer this as a remote service, 
where anyone can basically use to install it on their server. They might or might not 
be on the same server.

Thanks,
Soheil

Re: Online installer

2002-08-17 Thread Jim Lundeen

i think you are going to find it very difficult to successfully accomplish this goal.  
there are going to be subtle differences among the various remote servers, all of 
which you would have to
somehow take into account and handle.  you most certainly would need to have your 
installer program locate the location of Perl on the remove server, and probably other 
things too...good luck
and please keep us (or me at least) posted, as i am always interested in a good 
challenge and how it has been handled!i'm actually working on a very sophisticated 
script right now, one that a
member of this mailing list stated that could be done.  So don't let me or anyone else 
dissuade you from your goals!  Almost anything is possible with careful planning...
