[rt-users] Undefined Subroutine (was: CALLING EXTERNALAUTH TESTERS - v0.07_01 nowavailable.)

Fri Nov 14 16:50:03 EST 2008

I've checked and I'm not sure what's going wrong, still. Basic config
seems OK.  ExternalAuth is in place and fully (re-)installed.  LDAP.pm
exists and is properly readable by the webserver:

 	root at data:/opt/rt3/var/log# ls -lah
/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-
ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth/
	total 44K
	drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4.0K 2008-11-14 16:37 .
	drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4.0K 2008-11-14 16:37 ..
	-r--r--r-- 1 www-data www-data  13K 2008-11-06 13:20 DBI.pm
	-r--r--r-- 1 www-data www-data  18K 2008-11-06 13:36 LDAP.pm

And yet I still get

Undefined subroutine &RT::Authen::ExternalAuth::UserExists called at
/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/html/Callbacks/ExternalAut
h/autohandler/Auth line 39.

When I attempt any kind of login.  Line 39 is the last line in this
block:

        # Unless we have loaded a valid user with a UserID
        # check if user exists externally and autocreate if it does
        unless ($session{'CurrentUser'}->Id) {
            if(RT::Authen::ExternalAuth::UserExists($user)){

and my debug-level logs for this show the following (password is bogus -
what I actually typed, just not a real password):

Any help or pointing in any kind of direction at all would be
appreciated.  I don't understand what the logs are trying to tell me.
LDAP.pm is there, ::UserExists is called by the code, but it complains
there's no such animal.  This is a 5-minute-old fresh install of 7_01.

Clearly it's working for most people - what's so special about my
::UserExists call..?

Halp!,

Rob

I would really like to help, but I'm having difficulty seeing where the
problem might be. It's very much a perl/systemconfiguration/rt-core
problem - I'm much better on ExternalAuth issues.

This could be telling.. though I'm not sure what of.

I know this has probably been mentioned before, but just in case it's
worth at least suggesting:

chown -R apache:apache /opt/rt3

(or whatever is your web user, web group and $RTHOME).
