Installation Error: Solaris 8, Oracle 9.0.1
I'm trying to install Gossamer Forum on Solaris 8, Oracle 9.0.1, and Perl 5.8.0 on Apache 1.3x.

Install.cgi runs fine, but I can't complete the admin.cgi right after it. I get the following error right after I click "next" on the screen where I enter DB type, DB, username, password, etc...

Code:
A fatal error has occurred:

Can't call method "insert_id" on an undefined value at /opt/apache/htdocs/admin/setup.cgi line 451.

Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

Any ideas? I know the DBI modules work, but this one has me stumped! We'd love to use this internally here, but I can't demo it if I can't install it! :)

Try editing the admin/Config/Data.pm file, and look for 'debug' - it should have a value of '0', but if you change it to '1' you ought to get a more detailed error message, which should help to track down the problem.
