Database driver cheat

[Jason A. B. <ja...@te...>]

I got admin.pl working by cheating a bit.
I commented out the line in bin/mozilla/admin.pl where it returns the
error code unless User->dbdriver returns something ("Pg").
(I think I'm entitled to do this because I'm sure I installed Pg.)
I'll check if it works fine.

Hi. $form->{action} returns null when running
http://localhost/sql-ledger/admin.pl, which results in the error. Should
I have something here?

Hi again.

I'm just browsing through the source code. Is this right? It is using
SID of Oracle? Should I change this ID to something else?

Hello wayne,

try this in the shell


perl -wle 'use DBI; use DBD::Pg'

if it errors out, you'll know what's missing.

Cheers,
Paulo
