Ikonboard and DBD-Mysql problems...

[nobaloney]

We're trying to install Ikonboard on a DA server running RHL 9.

Ikonboard includes the perl_test.cgi script, which we installed at:

http://216.117.210.60/cgi-bin/perl_test.cgi

and it reports:

DBD-Mysql Perl module Installed: No

But looking for installed DBD modules, the server reports it is installed:

perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
perl-DBD-Pg-1.21-2

So I tried it on an RHL 7.3 server also running DA:

http://www.nobaloney.net/cgi-bin/perl_test.cgi

and it reports:

DBD-Mysql Perl module Installed: Yes

But looking for installed DBD modules on the RHL server, rpm -qa reports only:

perl-DBD-Pg-1.01-8

it does NOT report perl-DBD-MySQL.

Note that this is backwards from what we'd expect.

My guess is that on the 7.3 system we installed DBD-Mysql manually, or else it happened as part of the installation, but that on the RHL9 install it didn't get installed manually, and somehow it's not in the right place.

Any ideas as to how we can get it installed properly on RHL 9 so we can continue with the installation?

Thanks.

Jeff

any ideas?

Thanks.

Can't you get that from CPAN DBD::MySQL?

Try compiling it manually..... or use cpan

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install DBD:MySQL

Both using CPAN and compiling it manually it failed all the tests, but John said it was most likely because of a password issue.

We haven't gone further yet with IKONBOARD testing, but we will, and I'll keep the forum posted.

Thanks!
