Question

I'm moving a TWiki from Redhat 8 to Suse 9.

Differences are:

• the old one had Apache2-- mod_perl never worked right there
• the new one is Apache 1.3.28 with mod_perl working, according to the an older testenv
• reiserfs. Don't think that's a culprit.
• perl 5.8.1. ? read a bunch about that today.

Environment

TWiki version:	01-Dec-2001
TWiki plugins:	GnuSkin
Server OS:	Linux/SuSE9
Web server:	Apache 1.3.28/mod_perl 1.28
Perl version:	5.8.1
Client OS:	Windows, Solaris, Linux
Web Browser:	IE5.5, IE6, Mozilla, Konqueror

I fixed DiffsNotUpdating by installing Algorithm::diff and letting YaST rebuild apache's .conf files after I mv'd them.

The latest testenv still fails with
Undefined subroutine &TWiki::setupLocale called at /twiki/bin/testenv3 line 362.

I'm pretty sure that's because 01 Dec 2001 doesn't have that variable!

Now I still have
Insecure dependency in open while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/File/Copy.pm line 130.

After reading through ALL the topics here in support that relate to taint problems and trying to extrapolate to fit SuSE, I'm not getting it. besides turning off PerlTaintCheck in httpd.conf. Don't want to and I wouldn't know where to put it... It looks as if KevinGagel has a different distro. not suse9pro? -- BobHartmann - 11 Dec 2003

I'm also having an issue involving a taint error. My nightly cron job runs to do the mail out on changes and I get a error report from cron: Insecure dependency in connect while running with -T switch at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i686-linux/IO/Socket.pm line 114.

Does anyone have any advice on this?
