[rt-users] CSS/Segfault problem

[Ashley Gould]

Come to think of it, I haven't seen that one since my last 
install (2.0.8).  I checked my error_log and nothing for at 
least 30 days.  I built every thing by hand.  Here's some snips from 
my install notes:

I'm building postgres, perl, apache, and mod-perl from sources:
perl-5.6.1
postgresql-7.1.3
apache_1.3.22
mod_perl-1.26
rt-2-0-8

Mail server is postfix from SuSe7.2 RPMs


---------------------------
fisrt I built a new kernel. 
develrt:/usr/include # uname -r
2.4.9-ac9-2

-----------------------------
Then I built perl 5.6.1 with libperl as shared object:
develrt:/usr/local/build/perl-5.6.1 # sh Configure -Duseshrplib
develrt:/usr/local/build/perl-5.6.1 # make
develrt:/usr/local/build/perl-5.6.1 # make test
develrt:/usr/local/build/perl-5.6.1 # make install

------------------------------
Building postgres

develrt:/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.3 # cat startbuild
#!/bin/bash
# This is the flags I'm using to configure building postgres

./configure --enable-locale  \
        --with-perl \
        --enable-multibyte \
        --enable-unicode-conversion \
        --enable-syslog\
        --with-python \
        --with-openssl 


develrt:/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.3 # ./startbuild 
develrt:/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.3 # make 
develrt:/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.3 # make install

develrt:/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.3 # grep postgres /etc/passwd
postgres:x:26:2:Postgres Database Admin:/usr/local/pgsql:/bin/bash
develrt:/usr/local # chown -R postgres.daemon pgsql/
develrt:/usr/local # su - postgres
postgres at develrt:~ > /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data 
postgres at develrt:~ > /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data -l log

The "-i" flag is needed so that rt can connect over the loopback
interface
I set up this start command line in /etc/init.d/boot.local:

# start postgres
/usr/bin/sudo -u postgres /usr/bin/pg_ctl -o "-i -p 5432" -D
/var/lib/pgsql/data




-------------------------------------
Building apache with mod_perl non-DSO

develrt:/usr/local/build/mod_perl-1.26 # perl Makefile.PL
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1
develrt:/usr/local/build/mod_perl-1.26 # make && make test && make
install
develrt:/usr/local/build/mod_perl-1.26 # cd ../apache_1.3.22/
develrt:/usr/local/build/apache_1.3.22 # make install



-------------------------------------
3)   Satisfy RT's myriad dependencies

ran make fixdeps, configured cpan.  Looked good up to DBD-Pg:

  CPAN.pm: Going to build M/ME/MERGL/DBD-Pg-1.01.tar.gz

Configuring Pg
Remember to actually read the README file !
please set environment variables POSTGRES_INCLUDE and POSTGRES_LIB !
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

I'm buidling it by hand:
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # export
POSTGRES_HOME=/usr/loc
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # perl Makefile.PL
velrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # make
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # make test
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # su postgres
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # make test
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # exit     
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/DBD-Pg-1.01 # make install


Looks good. Trying make fixdeps again:

 got everything but Apache::Session.  Fails on install because failed
tests were looking for Storable.pmi and Digest/MD5.pm.  So I installed 
that with cpan:
develrt:/usr/local/build/rt-2-0-8 # perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Storable
cpan> install Digest::MD5

develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/Apache-Session-1.54 # make test
develrt:/usr/local/build/.cpan/build/Apache-Session-1.54 # make install


My kit is all good.  But wait! there was a post on the RT users list:

have you installed DBI::SearchBuilder 0.46-test1, as recommended in
last week's conversation about performance tuning?


I think I had better do it.  Oh, well.  All I could find was
DBIx::SearchBuiler-0.46.  I hope that is recent enough.


-------------------------------
5)   5a  FOR A NEW INSTALLATION:

First I couldn't connect to the database:
I then restarted postgres with the -i flag:
sudo -u postgres postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ &

      -i     Allows  clients  to  connect  via  TCP/IP (Internet
              domain)  connections.  Without  this  option,  only
              local  Unix domain socket connections are accepted.

This way the RT install could connect over the loopback interface.
