Re: That is boneheaded of them

Post #246,501 by Yendor 3/1/06 4:48:33 PM Reply	Re: That is boneheaded of them Perhaps another way to go about this (and Ben should be able to confirm or deny...) /var/lj/cgi-bin/cleanhtml.pl line 8. If you look at that file, I bet it'll have some kind of `use` or `require` statement on line 8. My Perl's a bit rusty, so I forget which is more likely. Anyway, I would think that some fiddling with that line might be able to get you past this particular error and onto the next one. In general, though, I agree with Ben. Sounds like their code is possibly a bit boned in the head. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
Post #246,503 by inthane-chan 3/1/06 5:02:51 PM Reply	I've started from the top down... The first two errors are: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /var/lj/cgi-bin/ljdefaults.pl line 43.\nUse of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /var/lj/cgi-bin/ljdefaults.pl line 56. 43 is: $SITEROOT \|\|= "[link\|http://www.$DOMAIN:8011\|http://www.$DOMAIN:8011]"; 56 is: $COOKIE_DOMAIN \|\|= ".$DOMAIN"; So, based on that, I'd say the $DOMAIN string isn't getting set somewhere. Also, Ben is right - there is no ljconfig.pl file there at all. :P Now, I'm poking around in the folder, and find a file in /var/lj/doc named ljconfig.pl.txt, with the following text: # LiveJournal configuration file. Copy this out of the documentation\n# directory to cgi-bin/ljconfig.pl and edit as necessary. The reason\n# it's not in the cgi-bin directory already is to protect it from\n# getting clobbered when you upgrade to the newest LiveJournal code in\n# the future.\n\n# This should be the only file you need to change to get the\n# LiveJournal code to run on your site. If not, it's considered a bug\n# and you should report it. :P When somebody asks you to trade your freedoms for security, it isn't your* security they're talking about.*

Post #246,506 by Yendor 3/1/06 5:21:55 PM 3/1/06 5:23:59 PM Reply	apt-get install libunicode-maputf8-perl You should notice a theme here. Your error says: [error] Can't locate Unicode/MapUTF8.pm in @INC I respond with: apt-get install libunicode-maputf8-perl. "Can't locate A/B.pm in @INC" ==> apt-get install liba-b-perl (note usage of case.) Update: Alternately, you could be installing these from the CPAN shell (as root, run `perl -MCPAN -e shell`), and doing it all that way. But if you're on Debian already...Why? It's all handled for you with the lib--perl packages. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania Edited by Yendor March 1, 2006, 05:23:59 PM EST Expand All History
Post #246,508 by inthane-chan 3/1/06 5:46:33 PM Reply	It's kind of funny I'm running into this... ...they have a massive list of packages for Debian users that are supposed to be installed; I installed them (perl, mostly) and they all installed without errors. Guess they need to update their directions. :P When somebody asks you to trade your freedoms for security, it isn't your* security they're talking about.*
