Apache WAMP2 cgi problem

[Ardesco]

You can install modules using PPM locally as well, quick Google brought up this tutorial because it's been a while since I did it

may want to look into an install of ActiveState Perl. It comes with a lot of the regulary used perl modules by default and makes life a lot easier

Thanks dude. I did install this (the bugzilla install instructions say so, so monkey see monkey do)

These modules are missing, and typically you would use

ppm install <module name>

'cept that the firewall and ppm don't work together, so it has to be done manually. Painful is an understatement.

Googling leads me to suspect this package, but I'm no Perl expert so I offer no guarantees

I got the knack of identifying and unzipping and installing missing modules. Well I spent all afternoon doing this. Now I need to install the template toolkit. I now need to run make, and I get "make is not recognized as an internal or external command"

Presumably there is more kit I need to install.

This is fiddly, horrible and a complete waste of an afternoon. I have no idea how Perl survives being this fiddly to set up. The real ball ache is this is only a demo, and I would need to set this up for real at some point.

Going to bail, and chalk Perl based systems up to those with way more patience. Not a viable commerical solution methinks.

Some more progress. I managed to get past this error by installing the module. The pm install <modulename> doesnt work due to the firewall. I have configured it to use the firewall but I get a 407 which I think means it can't authenticate.

Anyway, I have downloaded the TimeDate module and unpacked it, and now get another error!

(I have installed all of the bugzilla prerequisite modules in this way btw)

The error now is

Can't locate Email/Address.pm

The problem is, the package name and the zip archive do not necessarily match. For example, in the previous problem the zip archive was called TimeDate and the package was called Date.

So in this example, I have no clue which zip to download to fix this.

That means you're missing a Perl Module. I think CPAN is probably the place to look for that: http://cpan.org/

You'll presumably need to find out where @INC is pointing; this page may help: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/perl_inc.html

Now I get a new error

Can't locate Date/Parse.pm in @INC

It should be "Allow from All", not "*". Not sure if that will fix it though...

I spotted that, and tried already. I managed to get it parsing

http://localhost/cgi-bin/printerenv.pl

So this gave me some hope.

I also managed to get it parsing the index.cgi in the bugzilla directory by adding a .htaccess file with the line

options ExecCGI

Now I get a new error

Can't locate Date/Parse.pm in @INC

[NickFitz]

As a complete guess and admiting I know nothing about it I would change

Allow from 127.0.0.1

to

Allow from *

Or just remove the allow bit.

Worth a shot, but no.

Assuming you have cut and paste, then this will not work

Thanks. Sadly not. The server I am working from has no web access, so this was a typo.

The code is correct on the server.

Major problem getting this to work. Total ball ache. I am way out of comfort zone on this one.

I have set up the httpd.conf with

<Directory />
Optnios FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI Indexes
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

and yet I get

Options ExecCGI is off in this directory C:/wamp/www/bugzilla/index.cgi


Driving me mad. Help please.
