guess what, i don't. lol, sorry for all that trouble, i didn't even have it to begin with....

I am at the red hat site, and I found the perl-Digest-MD5-2.20-1.i386.rpm.

I have a server that has ensim 3.1 installed on it, redhat 7.2 of course. No other updates than the ones REQUIRED to install ensim are installed. Is it ok for me to go ahead and install it without updating anything else?

 

[YUPAPA]

You go to cpan to get the latest perl modules... and yes you can go ahead to install it when you've found the file...

and why are you always talking about ensim when it comes to perl modules?? it does not have anything to do with ensim *IF* ensim is not written in perl... if it does, I don't think it won't cause any problem cuz it is already running fine on your server without that MD5 module...

 

[YUPAPA]

Also... as dusty said, login to ssh, try to run the script and see why you got internal server error...

I am still not sure the script problem is because of the missing module...

 

[xzx]

ok, i installed the module, perfect, but i still get this stupid 500 error. What script do i run to see what is wrong? I ran the perl diver. it gave me this...

Does everything look ok?

 

[YUPAPA]

no, I don't see MD5 on the list... example
http://www2.yupapa.com/perldiver/perldiver.cgi

 

[xzx]

Maybe i got the wrong md5 file from redhat, what is the precise name? It is downloadable from redhat.com, right?

 

[YUPAPA]

I think is this one...
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/MD5/MD5-1.7.tar.gz

 

[xzx]

Sorry, But really basic question. what's the command to install tar.gz files? I only know how to install .rpm's. Thanks....

 

[YUPAPA]

* Decompress the file with gzip -d MD5-1.7.tar.gz
* Unpack the file with tar -xof MD5-1.7.tar
* perl Makefile.PL
* make
* make test
* make install

I suggest you check what's wrong with the script (perl desk) first before installing it... I am not sure the script can't run is because of the missing module... if you check the error, you will know what is wrong and fix it right away... I am just guessing the error for you...

 

[xzx]

How do i check the error file, and where is it?

The server is hosted remotely, so i need to install these through telnet. Usually i use the command : rpm -ivh name.rpm and that installs the file. I don't know many commands on linux through telnet, if you could teach me, i would be extremely grateful. Thanks. Time to sleep now, ttyl...

 

[YUPAPA]

there is no error file... what you do is just cd to your directory...
example:

cd /home/sites/yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/perldesk

then to run the script, just type

perl install.cgi

if the script has no problem, it will show a bunch of html source code for the output.

That should probably work... If not, tail the error file and the run the perl script.

tail -f /var/log/error_messages (that's the error log file)


And make sure you have root access to install perl modules.
Or you can tell the administrator to install it for you.

 

[xzx]

[root@myhost pdesk]# perl install.cgi
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)

Now what do i do? is that some kind of error?
What ever i enter, doesn't do anything, doesn't give me any other output.


"That should probably work... If not, tail the error file and the run the perl script.

tail -f /var/log/error_messages (that's the error log file)"

I try this and....

tail -f /var/log/error_messages
tail: /var/log/error_messages: No such file or directory
tail: no files remaining

 

[foo2thabar]

xzx, you can unpack a Gzipped tarball faster with the command...

[lowly-user@localhost ~]tar xvzf [filename].tar.gz

tail: no files remaining

I think there is something wrong with your cgi file... are you sure is the correct one??
That script is expecting an input ie name=fred&date=123456789 get/post type forms.... and that doesn't have anything to do with MD5 module so far...


and the error log should be /var/log/httpd/error_log
sorry I gave you the wrong path

 

[YUPAPA]

OK, why not create a user account (NOT ROOT) and PM me the username and password so I can login to install that thing for you? Then I will list all the steps to setup when I get it to work on your machine...

 

[xzx]

Sweeet, Got it to work finally work. All i had to do was install that module from the begining, thanks for all your help yuppa, dusty & ben. I am really excited that after all that, it works. This posting can now be closed...

 

[YUPAPA]

really?? can I touch???
