I have tried to install the wre on 3 IBM servers and they are all giving me a server 500 error. Unable to connect to localhost:8081 when I try to start mod perl and mod proxy services.

I have 2 desktop servers running good but I can not get the new installs to work. I have tried reinstalls of the centos OS and numerous installs of the wre.

Anyone have any ideas of what im doing wrong our need to do to get this running. Thanks

This is what is in my modperl logs.

This is the only log on one server.

On another server i have the same modperl errors and here is the modproxy errors..

Any ideas of what is wrong would be great. Thank you.Gerry

The WRE only includes modules for WebGUI on the date that it was released.  0.9.3 is now about a year old.  It does not install all of the modules needed for WebGUI.

Today I did another try to compile wre in SUSE (no success).
There where a lot of perl versions changed and couldn't be downloaded.

A list (to extend/change getperlmodules.sh) of these with new versions:
(The build script must be changed accordingly)

getperlmodules.sh is not the way to get the perl modules for WebGUI, use testEnvironment.pl

Ofcourse, I know, but not quite true or advisable, if you install wre from source.

Certainly after installing Perl and before Apache can be compiled, some modules like mod_perl are needed or good to be present. So it would be a good choice to run testEnvironment after installing Perl.

the modproxy errors seem mainly to arise because the modperl doesn't run. So let's lay that aside for now

If the modules don't update, it might be because of dependancies.

If you look for the module with google, try the search.cpan.org link and look there for the dependancies.

We only install modules manually, so that might be an good idea for the Net::CIDR::Lite module

The "make test" step will probably give the missing modules too
