Error after implementing mod_perl
Greetings!

After updating to mod_perl everything seems to be working really well except when I try to update the tables in GLinks 3.04 from admin. I get the following error:-

Code:
A fatal error has occured:

GT::SQL::Editor (17379): Unknown method '_column_sql' called at GT::SQL::Editor::alter_col line 238.

I am aware of some previous discussions in this thread:-

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...orum.cgi?post=279471

My startup.pl file contains the following:-

Code:
use strict;

use Apache::Registry ( );
use LWP::UserAgent ( );
use Apache::DBI ( );
use DBI ( );

use CGI ( );
CGI->compile(':all');

use lib '/path/to/links/admin',
'/path/to/gforum/admin';

use Links::mod_perl;
use GForum::mod_perl;
1;

From looking at the previous thread it would seem that the GT modules may be the cause of the problem. Would an easy solution be to edit the GForum mod_perl.pm file and comment out the pre-loading of the GT modules OR is there a better way?


Regards,


Clint.

I'm not 100% sure on this but try moving:

use GForum::mod_perl;

...above:

use Links::mod_perl;

It sounds like Links SQL has newer modules that GForum and so they would need to be loaded afterwards.

Thanks for that ...

Cured the problem. Perhaps the post I referred to above from GT should be amended to reflect how this can make a difference.

Oops!

Spoke to soon. Fixed one problem and created another - all my plugins disappeared (and stopped functioning). Removed Gforum loading from startup.pl and everything worked again.

I wonder whether a solution may be to just copy the GT libraries from links into the Gforum folder?

Clint.

Hi Boris:

Followed those instructions and the order in that posting actually seems to be wrong. Following the advise of that posting it places /gforum/ as the first directory in the path AND appears to load all the libraries from Gforum rather than Links.

In any event, I just copied the Links GT Libraries into GForum (overwrote all Forum ones) and both programs 'seem' to be working correctly now. I know its been talked about previously but the sooner a 'central' Library is established for all GT applications the easier it will be for everyone.


Thanks,


Clint.

Ehm Frown

The tricky part is in use lib statement. I don't have GLinks, on our site we use GForum and GComm and with these instruction definitely work Wink

But anyway. The important is, that everything works fine for you now Smile
