[Lxr-general] installation problems

[Rui M. S. <rm...@mu...>]

Hello,

  I'm having some installation problems with lxr 0.9...

  After some looking at the code, I found that to use lxr as a cgi
(instead of mod_perl) I only needed to remove some HTTP code OK that was
in a methond in Common.pm.

  ./genxref --url=3Dhttps://info.srv/cvs/lxr --allversion

  The above generated no errors, but also no output message.

  The web page shows up (for instance, the source navigator).

  If I try to go to a file without selecting [ Head ] in the version
link, it will complain that the file won't exist. I am a little confused
about this. =20

  Selecting head, I can go to the file.
  It has contents, but it is shown as having 0 bytes.
  So I think that it is just because the beggining of the file has zero
bytes, and the first version has the first contents, so i click on the
next version...

  However, the file still has zero bytes.

  I do not understand what could be happening, but it doesn't seem like
permission. I've su -'ed to the apache user and I could cd to the
cvsroot, and I could also view the files.

  I've altered lxr.conf mainly like this:

     'baseurl'          =3D> 'https://info.srv/cvs/lxr',
     'virtroot'         =3D> '/cvs/lxr',

     'range'   =3D> sub { return
          ($files->allreleases($LXR::Common::pathname),
           $files->allrevisions($LXR::Common::pathname))
                  }, # deferred function call.
     'default' =3D> '0.1.0'},


     'range'   =3D> [qw(i386)]},


     #'htmltail'                =3D> 'html-tail.html',


     'sourceroot'       =3D> 'cvs:/var/cvsroot',

  #'incprefix'  =3D> ['/include', '/include/linux'],


Also, of course, dbname, dbpass and dbuser are correctly configured, but
withheld :)

  Does anyone have any suggestion?

  BTW, although LXR is very cool, the INSTALL doc is a nightmare! :)
