Perl script DBI::SQL is missing

[etegration]

some users are saying "Perl script DBI::SQL is missing " when they try to install Movabletype, where to activate this?

[existenz]

They can use Berkeley DB or you can do this as root:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>install DBD::mysql

should Movabletype be installed in public_html folder or the CGI-BIN folder? my users are either not using any DB or using mySQL db.

I can't remember how the specifics of it is. I haven't installed MT since last July sometime. Currently DirectAdmin requires the perl/cgi stuff to be located in the cgi-bin by default. You can use a .htaccess to move that to a different folder.

[etegration]

anyone manage to get MT working on a Redhat server with Directadmin installed???

I had it running on a RH 9 box. It is wicked easy to install. They hold you hand through the install docs.

What problems are you having? You don't need MySQL to make MovableType work and it can just use a flat file to store all the data. That is the easiest install.

What should i go?

[existenz]

Here install the modules from these instructions:

http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mtinstall.html#if%20you%20need%20to%20install%20db_file

The DB_File is the easiest way to get MT moving since it does not require MySQL. But it is just as easy to get MySQL to work with MT.

You also don't have Image::Magic, the last time I tried to get this working it was on Darwin. Because it was not exactly a large server OS by its-self or support so rather than getting Image Magic working I grabbed the binaries for NetPBM from the folks at the gallery project. I am sure their is a Image Magic rpm you could use also.

is it not possible to not install anything?

[nobaloney]

Is this your server or are you a reseller or a site owner? If you're a site owner then you need to talk to whoever you purchased your webhosting from. If you're a reseller then you need to talk to whoever you purchased your reseller account from.

If you're administrator of the server running DA, then read on...

mt-check.cgi told you exactly what's missing that you need; it can't get any plainer than that.

Yes, you can get away with not installing anything, but then you won't be able to use Movable Type.

If you need a module that's not on your server then you need to install it. This is NOT a DA issue. The proper place for support would be on a support forum for Movable Type.

Neither DA nor this forum are a replacement for systems administration.

We and others both on this forum and elsewhere are happy to help you as much as we can, but at some point you either must take administration responsibility for your server or delegate it to someone else.

Do the install from CPAN as per my first post. You can install DBD::File and DBD::MySQL

[hostpc.com]

An alternative way (other than CPAN)

(you might need to do this first:

echo export LANG=en_US >> /etc/bashrc

)


wget http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBD/DBD-mysql-2.9002.tar.gz
wget http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBD/DBI-1.38.tar.gz
tar xvzf DBI-1.38.tar.gz
tar xvzf DBD-mysql-2.9002.tar.gz
cd DBI-1.38
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
cd ..
cd DBD-mysql-2.9002
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
