rant continues....
I think that iserver had/has a couple of brilliant guys and then
there are the rest. I have heard a lot of people complain about
support at iserver. And I did some database work for an iserver
customer and they have had repeated problems with mSQL and they too
complained from lack of support.
Jack, as I mentioned in a previous post, I had trouble with mSQL on
one of my sites. I went there and lo and behold all the posts were
gone. Well I just removed mSQL from my server and installed mySQL. I
also installed the latest version of Perl that iserver. This also
installed new modules.
I then installed a new comments system that I have been writing. You
can test that mySQL and all perl DBI modules are working fine here:
http://www.germantown.net/
Feel free to enter any junk to test. That system allows one to add
comments on any html page as all parameters are passed vi the html.
I really would like to see how it works with at least thousands of
posts.
Now for something interesting. I had the same system (more or less)
running on another server that was working fine the last time I
tested it. And now it produces an error wich is passed to Carp and
so it might contain some interesting info. Look here:
http://www.rede.com/rdbms/comments.html
and then just click on anything you think might activate the cgi.
Here is the gist of the error:
DBI object version 0.89 does not match $DBI object version 0.89 does
not match $ 1.02 at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-bsdos/5.00401/DynaLoader.pm line 172.
OUch.... I just fixed the problem. Here was the top line of my perl
script:
#! /usr/local/bin/perl5.00401 -w
and I changed that to
#! /usr/local/bin/perl5.00404 -w
and voila, no more errors.
I was having a helluva of a time the other day trying to install DBI
an LWP on a new server. Whatever I tried it would not work. As it was
not pressing I just let the matter go. I think it was the version of
perl I was using.
