installation help :-(
I'd thought I'd check and make sure I can get MysqlMan to work before buying LinksSQL... without success. When I try to open mysql.cgi I get an generic 500 error. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, since I've chmod'ed everything as instructed and also tried all 7 versions of Perl currently installed with the same error.

When I run perl -c mysql.cgi I get
Code:
[Mon Oct 23 20:37:26 2000] mysql.cgi: Ambiguous use of select => resolved to "select" => at mysql.cgi line 43.
[Mon Oct 23 20:37:26 2000] mysql.cgi: Value of <HANDLE> construct can be "0"; test with defined() at mysql.cgi line 65535.
[Mon Oct 23 20:37:26 2000] mysql.cgi: Value of <HANDLE> construct can be "0"; test with defined() at mysql.cgi line 65535.
mysql.cgi syntax OK
When I run perl -w mysql.cgi I get a slew of 'ambiguous use of "do"' and then it prompts for name/value pairs.

I also tried uncommenting the $script_path variable, setting it, then commenting out the BEGIN codes in mysql.cfg and mysql.cgi without any luck.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Happy Coding,

Hi!

What happens when you type:

./mysql.cgi

Cheers,

Alex

I get the same thing as simply typing 'perl mysql.cgi': a whole bunch of 'Ambiguous use of do => resolved to "do"...' and a name/value prompt.

Happy Coding,

Try typing

./perl.cgi 0=0

and see what happens. Is the first thing printed out a Content-type statement? Also, do a perl -v and let me know what version of perl you are running..

Cheers,

Alex

uh... you mean ./mysql.cgi 0=0, right? After all the warnings I get this:
Code:
Set-Cookie: mysqlman_url=http://localhost/./mysql.cgi?0=0

Content-Type: text/html

I'm using Perl 5.004.04

Hmm, seg fault? Have you used any other scripts that interact with DBI/DBD::mysql successfully? It's very diffucult to cause a seg fault in perl, and usually indicates a problem with the c modules DBI, DBD::mysql or the mysql libs.

Cheers,

Alex

No. However I have tried phpMyAdmin with limited success. Odd: I can't access mysql from telnet anymore... before I could just type 'mysql', but now I get 'authorization denied' and 'using password = no'

I guess I should try and reinstall those modules or upgrade to Perl 5.005 and see what happens (DBI comes bundled doesn't it?).

Happy Coding,

No, phpmyadmin wouldn't use the same c libraries as perl scripts, so the fact that it works doesn't guarantee anything.

I would re-install, DBI and DBD::mysql, and make sure the make test on DBD::mysql passes everything.

Cheers,

Alex
