Hi all,

I haven't managed to run WebGUI on localhost.
Installation from source, Slackware Linux 12, mod_perl 2.0.3, WebGUI 7.4.20, 7.4.23. 7.4.24. Tried to follow the instructions given at http://www.webgui.org/community-wiki/source-install as close as possible using my distro's packages.

In Apache's error_log I have the following:

[Mon Feb 18 12:20:44 2008] [info] mod_unique_id: using ip addr 127.0.0.1
[Mon Feb 18 12:20:44 2008] [info] APR LDAP: Built with OpenLDAP LDAP SDK

Apache seems to start:

Starting WebGUI 7.4.24
        Loading WebGUI.conf
WebGUI Started!

webgui.log ends with the following:

2008/02/18 12:21:15 - ERROR - spectre.conf - POE::Kernel::_dispatch_event[1012] - ADMIN: Couldn't connect to WebGUI site WebGUI.conf at http://localhost:80/?op=spectreGetSiteData.  Response: 500 Internal Server Error

Moreover, on every connection Apache gives Internal Server Error (500).
I cannot debug the reason why Config::JSON falls apart.    (tried latest JSON 2.07 and Config::JSON 1.1.4 as well as some earlier versions)

Maybe some misconfiguration I did?
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,

Janusz
