Re: CPAN hanging on ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if installed
I want to thank everyone who helped me out. I can confirm that the original issue (infinite delay and 100% CPU use while installing ExtUtils::MakeMaker from CPAN) is gone after upgrading to Perl 5.12. For some reason, the upgrade to 5.14 didn't work. Using "portupgrade -o lang/perl-5.14 perl-5.8.9" (or something similar, but I can't remember it now) just reinstalled Perl 5.8. Using "portupgrade -o lang/perl-5.12 perl-5.8.9" (or something similar) did work, though. I ended up using the www/rt40 port. Its nice to know that someone is putting in the effort on a port. Thanks to Matthew for that. And now I'm back to upgrading security/amavisd-new and mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin and other Perl based ports. :) I'm really glad that portupgrade exists on FreeBSD.

You're expected to install perl from ports if you want it on your system. The default version that the ports would install as a dependency (assuming you had done nothing to select a different one) or that you would get by installing from packages is perl-5.12.4 at the moment. To upgrade to a different version, you need to do something like this: # portmaster -o lang/perl5.12 perl-5.8.9_7 # portmaster -R -r perl-5.14.2_1 You have to rebuild / reinstall all perl modules and everything that embeds perl or that uses perl at run-time when going up such a jump in versions -- the simple moving things around trick using perl-after-upgrade is not sufficient here.

Good to know. What version comes with FreeBSD if you don't install a port of Perl? Is there some way to just "yank" the installed port and revert to the default installed version? I'm only running 5.8.9 because once upon a time I wanted to use a port (possibly RT) that required it. So I installed it from the ports as a way to run the latest version available at that time.

It's a FreeBSD ports thing -- ports generally do not provide
pre-packaged configurations, on the basis that is what sysadmins are for.

No -- as I said, the port doesn't touch the database at all. What it
does do is print out a message with some instructions on what to do
next. Actually, these are pretty much a condensed version of what is in
the README in the rt-4.0.5 sources.
To create a brand-new empty database and associated userid and password
for rt-4.0.5 run:
/usr/local/sbin/rt-setup-database --action create,acl \
--prompt-for-dba-password
This will use the defaults specified when you built the port, prompting
you for the password for the privileged DBA login used to do the schema
modification bits. (While you can set that at build time, I don't
recommend it on the basis that it will store the password internally in
plain text.) You may need to do other dba related bits, like editing
the pg_hba.conf file to allow the new user appropriate access levels.
For upgrades from rt-3.x to rt-4.x, the procedure would be to start with
a copy of your rt3 DB loaded into a new rt4 DB instance -- ie. by using
mysqldump and mysql client to load, or pg_dump and psql to load or the
equivalent for whatever RDBMS you prefer. Then use rt-setup-database to
apply the required schema updates.
Note: although the rt40 port defaults to using MySQL, personally, I'd
choose PostgreSQL for a new install. (Pg supports full-text indexing
natively, whereas MySQL needs external software and more to do so.)
Switching RDBMSes as part of the upgrade is not a trivial operation, so
unless you have good reason, just stick with whatever DB you've already got.
The DB default of MySQL is what was there historically, and I didn't
think my arbitrarily changing that was justified.

rt40 can be run with any web server supported by PSGI, which is rather
more than just Apache. (There's even a built-in pure-perl one, but
that's really not suitable for any sort of serious usage level.) While
apache22 is the default, p5-Log-Dispatch doesn't have any apache
dependencies that I can see...
How hard the apache upgrade is for you depends on what else you serve
with your apache13 instance currently. If this is a server dedicated to
RT, then it should be pretty simple. For a dedicated RT VHOST (or a
dedicated apache instance), and assuming a) you're using mod_perl and b)
you want to use HTTPS, the rt-related config should look something like
this:
ServerName rt.example.org
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFilewww/apache22/certs/rt.example.org-cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile www/apache22/certs/rt.example.org-key.pem
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/share/rt40/html"
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from 192.0.2.0/24
SetHandler modperl
PerlResponseHandler Plack::Handler::Apache2
PerlSetVar psgi_app /usr/local/sbin/rt-server
use Plack::Handler::Apache2;
Plack::Handler::Apache2->preload("/usr/local/sbin/rt-server");
(Just drop the lines starting SSL and change the port number to 80 if
you prefer plain text HTTP.)
There are some more examples in the RT supplied documentation in

The port won't touch your data: it does precisely nothing to the database. It does let you set default values for DB connection parameters at install time, but that's not required and you can just use the normal configuration files to the same effect.

CPAN hanging on ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if installed
I'm attempting to upgrade Request Tracker manually.
