I have got round my pproblems by upgradinng my perl version to the latest (5.8.6 along with recompiling DBI and DBD-MySQL)

This is probably a bit of an issue, as it seems to me that we now have a dependancy on the perl version, i.e. must be greater than 5.6.1. Have other people managed to install using earlier versions of perl ?

If we find such issues then we should remove them.

In order to get the OpenCA server started on this RedHat Enterprise 2.1 server with Perl 5.6.1 I have had to edit "OpenCA/DBI.pm". I have replaced the line:

use POSIX qw(setlocale LC_MESSAGES);

with the lines:

use Locale::Messages qw(LC_MESSAGES)
use POSIX ('setlocale');
setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, '');

Can you commit this stuff to CVS head by yourself? Did you test it with the 0.9.2 branch too?


The only trouble is I now get the error:

"DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'NAMES'utf-8'' at line 1 at ../OpenCA/DBI.pm line 2587."

Am I fighting a loosing battle here because of the Perl version I am using ? Or is this an error people have seen before ?

I removed "set names" from CVS head because we use UTF-8 only on the head (I get several recommendations for this for example from the University of Mannheim - Germany). The "only" problem is that MySQL has a really poor unicode support until 4.1. So it is in fact the same problem but you get no errormessages in the logs 8-(
