Re: [Openinteract-help] Undefined subroutine &OpenInteract::handler called.

[Magnus E. <ma...@he...>]

Hi!

I finally figured out what was wrong, thanks to your tips :-)

My problem was that I'm using Trustix (the redhat based distribution with
focus on security), for the first time in a year and a half, and had
forgotten how secure it really is.. problem was that both cpan and
oi_manage ran with a umask of 077. Took me a while to figure out that cpan
didn't change the umask. 

But now everything is working!
I have a little wish list though ;-)
- Could you make oi_manage change it's umask when we run it? Maybe it's
best to make it an option?
- ApacheStartup.pm or Startup.pm creates tmplib, it should check it's
uid/gid and umask. My apache runs as uid/gid=httpd but the tmplib dir
shows up with 700 root.root, and that doesn't work very well ;-) I just
hacked the module to change umask one line before it creates the
directory, but I reckon it should be done elsewhere and a little more
though-thru...

- Could you make oi_manage understand relative --website_dir (like
--website_dir=.)?


Bugs:
- Typo at line 15 in event-1.20/struct/event.sql (varchar not varcar)


Again, thanks for a great system!! :-)

Cheers!
Magnus Espeland
