[Slashcode-general] Problems with Slash 2.2.5 with Messages and Journal

[Jon M. <jo...@mi...>]

Ive installed Slash 2.2.5 and Im running into a problem getting Messages and
Journal to work properly.

I will explain about the message problem followed by the journal problem --
both are similar.

Message problem:  Apache error log said:

[Sun Jun  9 17:22:26 2002] [error] Which was called
by:Apache::ROOTwww_2easite_2ecom::messages_2epl:/usr/local/slash/site/www.as

undefined value at /usr/local/slash/site/www.asite.com/htdocs/messages.pl
line 59.

So I looked and found Messages.pm in
/usr/local/slash/plugins/Messages/Messages.pm

I copied this file to /usr/local/apache/Slash to see if it'd fix it.  After
I did this, I ran into a different problem.  Apache logs complained about:

[Sun Jun  9 17:26:04 2002] [error] Which was called
by:Apache::ROOTwww_2easite_2ecom::messages_2epl:/usr/local/slash/site/www.as
ite.com/htdocs/messages.pl:163:Base class package
"Slash::Messages::DB::MySQL" is empty.
        (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package
first.) at /usr/local/apache//Slash/Messages.pm line 37
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/apache//Slash/Messages.pm
line 37.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 86) line 3.
[Sun Jun  9 17:26:04 2002] [error] Can't call method "getDescriptions" on an
undefined value at /usr/local/slash/site/www.asite.com/htdocs/messages.pl
line 101.

The journal problem is the exact same thing as above but with Journal.pm.
copying the file to /usr/local/apache/Slash fixed the problem and the
'Journals' page comes up properly.

The only problem with Journals is I get an error message every time I do
anything in a journal:

[Sun Jun  9 17:38:56 2002] [error]
/journal.pl:Slash::Utility::Display:/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linu
x/Slash/Utility/Display.pm:972: :
[Sun Jun  9 17:38:56 2002] [error] Which was called
by:Slash::Display::Plugin:/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Slash/Di
splay/Plugin.pm:75: :

Im a little stumped at what the problem is and I cant find any information
that explains about this in the FAQs, etc.  Yes, I made sure messages and
journal was installed but apparently something didnt work right.

Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide.
