Hello all,
First Question: I was installing Qmailtoaster for a production server in combination with a fresh network install of CentOS 5.2 x86_64. When using the perl install script it came to this line: "perl -e 'use CPAN; install DB_File;'" and failed because it didn't pass the install tests. I started over with another network install of CentOS 5.2 x86_64 and the same thing happened again. I hesitated to do a force on the module not knowing what would happen, that is, whether the toaster would not work at some point in mail delivery process. Does anyone have any ideas why the 'DB_File' perl module wouldn't pass the install tests? Also I tried using the perl-DB-File rpm at DAG repositories and it conflicted with a module from the regular CentOS perl install-perl-5.8.8-15.el5_2.1. Related Question: In order to resolve the above problem I installed Qmailtoaster on CentOS 5.1 x86_64 because I had already successfully installed this combination on my business server with no problems at all. However, during this install I had problems while running the perl script again. This time it failed on the module IO::Zlib something that hasn't happened in over 20 installs. I decided at this point to install the most recent version of cpan::Bundle as a last resort measuer and low and behold IO::Zlib and Archive::Tar where installed, I think, at this time. I realized these modules were on my machine when I re-ran the perl install script. I guess it bothers me, a little, when things don't go as they should. There is always this nagging voice that things may not me just right. This is troublesome especially when putting a server on a production sight. Does anyone have any insights into these problems or has anyone seen them themselves. If needed I can reproduce the error by doing another fresh install. I thought some may have already encountered this. Thanks for the help. By the way, the server is a Dell Poweredge T300 Core 2 Duo E6405, 2.13 GHz Eric Broch
