I've locally installed the Perl module MediaWiki::API and successfully made a Perl script which uses it. I've now converted the script to Fasct CGI and placed it in my public_html with execute permission and .fcgi extension but it fails because it can't find MediaWiki::API I don't know if such scripts run as me and should have my path or how to change the path, if they don't run as me does that mean I have to get MediaWiki::API installed site-wide? You can see the error output in this test script: http://toolserver.org/~hippietrail/trycatch.fcgi Andrew Dunbar (hippietrail)

When you say "locally", does this mean somewhere in your /home/hippietrail/* directory? If so, you can specify in the perl script to use the library of where the module is located. For example, if you're modules were under the directory "/home/hippietrail/modules", you add a line to the perl script "use lib '/home/hippietrail/modules';" to use that library. Please correct me if I am wrong. On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 5:31 PM, Andrew Dunbar <hippytrail(a)gmail.com> wrote:

By "locally installed" I mean I followed the instructions on the Toolserver Wiki: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Installing_perl_modules_into_your_$HOME So my local modules are in /home/hippietrail/lib I added this line as you suggest: use lib '/home/hippietrail/lib'; But I still see a bad gateway when I try to access the script from a browser. Also I don't know where to find the error log from the fcgi script.

/var/log/http/errors If you grep for your name, you see that you had have path-problems tomorrow which are now solved (BTW: I said to you last night in the channel that it is a path-problem). The problem is now that your script doesn't generate any output (at least zeus says so). Sincerly, DaB. -- wp-blog.de

/var/log/http/errors

I could find some old errors there but if I did tail -f /var/log/http/errors I didn't see fresh errors come through as I modified the code and accessed the URL.

It was tricky because there were two path problems: finding MediaWiki::API and then that module finding JSON::XP which is installed on nightshade but not wolfsbane.

It does now. I modified MediaWiki::API locally to use JSON which I installed locally instead of JSON::XP which cannot be installed locally. Thanks for your help. Andrew Dunbar (hippietrail)

FWIW, JSON::XS installs fine.
