[rt-users] Apache::DBI problems

[Johan van den Dorpe]

Hi all

I've been trying to setup Request Tracker 3 this afternoon.

I've followed the instructions provided. I've followed all the steps and 
got everything going to the point of pointing my web browser at the 
server running RT.

When I do this I get a 500 Internal Server Error, and apache's error_log 
says:

[Tue May 13 18:00:24 2003] [error] Can't locate object method "connect" 
via package "Apache::DBI::connect" at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 474.

I'm running Redhat 7.3, Apache 1.3.27 (compiled with mod_perl 1.27) and 
Request Tracker 3. I've installed all required CPAN modules, including 
DBI 1.35, DBD::mysql 2.1026 and Apache::DBI 0.91.

I've noticed a bunch of people have similar problems along these lines 
before. A common suggestion has been to make sure that 'PerlModule 
Apache::DBI' is above anything that needs to use it, which i've done as 
per the instructions provided with RT.

I've also noticed this problem (see link below) when trying to run 'make 
test' on Apache::DBI, but the post says that shouldn't be a problem. 
I've tested earlier versions of the CPAN modules affected, but these 
either don't change the problem or aren't compatible with what 
HTML::Mason and webmux.pl

Any suggestions of where I'm going wrong would be greatly appreciated!
