Apache WAMP2 cgi problem

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. :confused:
 
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.

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

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.

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