I am a relative Linux newbie with advanced knowledge in programming on other platforms.  I installed Ubuntu server 8.04 with LAMP.  I tried to install WebGUI 7.4.40 (stable) from source and found that some of the requirements (latest ImageMagick) weren't installed and must have botched it up somehow.  When I ran the testEnvironment.pl script, there were many Perl modules that were not installed and I had a hard time finding the latest versions of the modules , if I could find the modules.  I was using CPAN, but it wouldn't compile/install the modules correctly and kept giving me errors.  I am using aptitude to search and install the packages otherwise.

  Is there any list of all required packages and modules so that I can install them first and then continue with the rest of the installation?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

-Chris

Well I managed to get most of the Perl modules installed except for one thing that appears to be an error.  Here's the result of the script.

 

larcadmin@w2so:/data/WebGUI/sbin$ sudo perl testEnvironment.pl

Because of using CPAN and Aptitude, I believe that is why I now have errors when I go to install packages.  It says I have a problem with dependencies and lists packages that are not configured.  But if it passes the testEnvironment.pl script, is it ok then?  Or will I have issues further down the road?

 

Thanks,

Chris

These are the reasons that most WebGUI installers use the WRE. It comes prepackaged with all the prerequisites you need.

BTW, the wre-0.8.3-ubuntu-7.04-feisty-ia32.tar.gz package (available at SourceForge) works fine under Ubuntu 8.04 (32-bit). I have successfully compiled the WRE for 64-bit Ubuntu HardyHeron.

Thanks.  I tried to install the WRE version and was not successful.  Maybe there was some little detail I missed.

Well I tried to install the WRE 0.8.3.  I got all the way to running the wreconsole.pl where it says :

larcadmin@w2so:/data/wre/sbin$ sudo ./wreconsole.pl
Please contact me at:
        http://w2so:60834/


I have a dyndns.org account which is w2so.ham-radio-op.net.

 

I tried to connect from my laptop downstairs at http://w2so.ham-radio-op.net:60834/ and the page cannot be displayed.  There must be something that I have screwed up.  I have the port 60834 open on the router and I can access the apache webserver normally.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Have you tried to connect via ssh and open the page locally either with links, lynx or w3m? Maybe it is a firewall issue even though you think it is set up correctly.

bernd,

        Well, I got it installed finally. I had to go through the local IP address of 192.168.1.220 and it worked.  I just have 1 error that I have to debug in the Spectre.pl.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
