    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.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    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.

            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

                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
