[Slashcode-general] Installation Question of Slashcode 2.0.0

[Ling Su <ls...@ne...>]

Dear All,

Hello, I am trying to install slash site on my Netwinder machine
(www.netwinder.org), which is a RedHat6.2 based StrongARM machine. Due
to the architecture issue, I have to install some of the package from
source, following is my package information,

<1>. MySQL 3.22.32
<2>. Apache 1.3.19
<3>. Perl 5.6.1

The machine has 64MB memory, I have trouble to build the MySQL by myslef
since it runs out of memory in later compile stage, so I installed the
RPM packege available from www.netwinder.org. It works fine in my test.
I built apache 1.3.19 and perl_mod strictly follow the INSTALL of
slashcode 2.0.0, actaully I built lots of times, I made sure the "make
test" is passed 100%. When I installed Bundle::Slash, there is a test
error in DBD::mysql, all other modules are installed without any
problem. You can find my log in below.

-----------------------------------------------

So, I have to install MySQL module by myself using "perl Makefile.PL &&
make && make test && make install". Of course, I ingore the several
failure in testing. 

Then I tried to install a local slashsite(192.168.1.10) and begin
testing, I didn't use virtual host. I cat the
/usr/local/slash/conf/slash.con into my httpd.conf, and point my
DocumentRoot to the htdocs of new create slash site. I stop and start
apache and fire up /etc/rc.d/init.d/slash. When I visit
192.168.1.10/admin.pl, an internal error as following,

"HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2001 20:17:59 GMT Server:
Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26 Connection: close Transfer-Encoding:
chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 "


I went to check the error_log of apache, the error is shown in below,

-------------------------
"[Sun Oct 14 13:17:59 2001] [error] Can't call method
"getTemplateByName" on an undefined value at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/armv4l-linux/Slash/Display.pm line
198.

[Sun Oct 14 13:17:59 2001] [error] Can't call method "getBlock" on an
undefined value at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/armv4l-linux/Slash.pm line 379."
--------------------------

The only thing I didn't follow of the INSTALL is the time region setup
for MySQL since I think I can make it up after a site running. I go
check the errors on the specified line of both Slash.pm and Disply.pm, I
found it complain the variable $slashdb is undefined. Is this due to
database connection problem? I want to debug it, but don't quite know
where to begin. I post it here hopefully anyone met the same problem
have any clue and shed me some light. I have been struggling with this
problem for long long time, I do carefully following any step of the
documentation. I successfully installed slashsite on my PC but I don't
know why the netwinder can't. Thanks for any kindly help, hint of
debugging, etc. !!!
