[Sandweb-users] Perl 5.8.0 and logging in

[Nathan B. <NBa...@ap...>]

Hi.

=20

I've installed all the software needed, and I've got a few questions. =20

=20

First off, I'm running Apache 2.0.45, and Perl 5.8.0 ( I have the
version numbers of the perl modules, if you want them).

The system is running on SunOS 5.8 (ie Solaris) on a Blade 100.

=20

I have a feeling that this is directly related to a problem that I read
about posted on 5/15/03, titled "Loging problem". =20

Here's the error message:

42% /usr/local/bin/sandweb-admin --add-user nathanb

Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/SandWeb/Config.pm line 352.

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/SandWeb/Config.pm line 353.

Enter password for nathanb:

=20

Also, when I try to log in to the web, it says "Unable to write config
file for nathanb." After I enter the "Full Name".

When I checked the apache error_log file, I find this line near the
bottom (carriage returns added for readability):

I get these entries whenever I try to log into the website.

=20

=20

First off, I believe that the apache user is 'nobody', but I'm not sure.
I'm not sure how I check this. =20

=20

Second, how does one su to the user nobody?  I've read from your posts
to the previously mentioned message, and noted that I should run
sandweb-admin as the user that apache uses to access the file.  The
passwd file has "NP" where the password for nobody should be, but when I
try to su nobody, and leave the password blank, it says that it is an
invalid password.  As a hunch, I su'd to root, changed the privileges on
the /usr/local/share/sandweb/data/passwd file so that all had read/write
access to it (for testing purposes), but I still have the same problems.

=20

Is there any word on whether the latest CVS entries after RC2 have fixed
these problems?

=20

Any other suggestions?

=20

Thanks!
