Hmm... Ever think of doing a pam module for gnats? It would allow you to use any authentication pam supports. Of course, that doesn't take away the need to manage user permissions, but at least it'll take away the dependency upon a gnats-specific passwd file. .oO(mmm... ldap + kerberose...) <offtopic> You know. One thing I never understood was the fact that the passwd program didn't have a target file option. Take NIS, for example. Most people revert to manually editing and maintaining a separate map file for passwd and group in /var/yp/<DOMAIN> for security reason (though that's like spitting in the wind if you ask me). Why not just use a modified passwd program and specify /var/yp/maps/passwd? </offtopic> Anyway, it looks like that last time PAM popped up on the radar for gnats was back in October 1999. Regardless, it would be a welcome addition. May as well add that as a feature request. ;-) Well, back to work. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie@wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Get my public key, ICQ#, etc. $(mailx -s 'get info' chewie@wookimus.net) [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 232 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 29+ messages in thread

Well, Savannah will be migrated to phpGroupWare, and it seems that they are considering DLC (Double Chocolatte) for project management but this tool can be used also for bug tracking. So far if we can integrate GNATS with Savannah I guess this will be "THE" bug tracking system, there are some GNU programs that use GNATS for bug tracking system so we have a working installation already, we just need to interface it with Savannah's web interface. There were also some talks about a lightweight bug tracking system (I am not sure but I think it is called "mantis"). But so far developer/sysadmins is the resource we are needing. > Anyway, if anybody is willing to help, he can contact > savannah-hackers at gnu.org. Yep, please do.

I looked over your problem again, but still had no clue as to what would be the source of your issues. Have you talked to any other Red Hat users to find out if they're having the same type of problems with libmod_perl? Your guess may be correct about the caching problem.

I'm not an Apache guru, so I couldn't really tell you where things went wrong. Debian's 'testing' branch is feature frozen, now. There are no new packages entering, just RC bugfixes and security fixes. Given that the gnats and gnatsweb packages (fairly recent CVS versions) install fine, I'd recommend that. The only thing you'll need to do with the gnats package is that if you want to run mkdb on /var/lib/gnats/gnats-db, you'll have to recreate the directory. The gnats user installs w/a home directory of /var/lib/gnats/gnats-db. I'm planning on changing my local config so that it defaults to /var/lib/gnats instead. Other than that, I had very few problems. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie@wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Get my public key, ICQ#, etc. $(mailx -s 'get info' chewie@wookimus.net) [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 232 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 29+ messages in thread

Well, I just finished a manual installation attempt on a virgin Debian 2.2 r4 installation. Almost the same end result, the pages sometimes don't appear properly (refreshing usually fixed it). I really would like to get Gnats working as a PR tracker. However, at this point, I'm losing all hope of getting this thing to work.

No, there is no proxy, unless the default debian installation put on in place (I'm not very familiar with Debian). I can assure you that there was no proxy in place during any of the Red Hat testing. I have tried both current versions of Mozilla (0.9.6 and 0.9.5) and Netscape 4.78 (I had to adjust the mime-types on this one so it didn't see the .pl file as a download). The two systems are connected via a 10/100 switch (not a hub). I have no problem with any kind of connectivity between them, other than Gnatsweb sometimes not having headers on it's pages. > I'm no Gnatsweb/Apache/Web guru as well, but I sometimes meet very > strange things when working with web. If all the answers to the > questions above are "yes", I can't help with the problem. :-( Thanks for the attempt. Would anyone be willing to configure a virgin installation (Red Hat, Debian, or other) via an SSH connection for me? It seems that the common consensus is that I'm mucking something up during the installation. So, if someone else is willing to help, I'd be willing to set up a box to be remotely configured. Jamin W.

The system is ready for any takers. Access is available via SSH, all I need is an RSA pub key from anyone willing to help. I've port forwards set up on my firewall to allow access to SSH, HTTP (Apache), and GNATS (once it's installed). If these are not enough, for some reason, just let me know what else is needed.

The systems been available for nearly a week now. There has been only one response regarding it so far. AFAIK, no progress has been made. I am aware that everyone here is a volunteer, and am not berating anyone. Rather, I'm simple providing information as I have it. In the meantime, I began looking at other problem report management tools. Of the ones found, I tried Bugzilla. During the installation of Bugzilla I found it to be heavily Perl based similar to the Gnatsweb interface with which I've had so much trouble. However, after a minor snag concerning Bugzilla and mod_perl (it doesn't use it, yet), I have a fully functional Bugzilla installation. Based on this, I think it's fairly safe to rule out the following: - most all concerns over the web server, as Bugzilla is using the same web server configuration I attempted with Gnatsweb (minus of course mod_perl). - most all concerns regarding the Perl installation (v5.6.1) as Bugzilla is heavily dependent on Perl also. I say "most all concerns" for both of these, because I am aware that while they both use the same applications, they do so in different ways. I would still like to get Gnatsweb functional for a comparison. So, the system will remain available for this purpose for a while longer (at least until after the new year). Jamin W.

I'm not an Apache guru, so I couldn't really tell you where things went wrong. Debian's 'testing' branch is feature frozen, now. There are no new packages entering, just RC bugfixes and security fixes. Given that the gnats and gnatsweb packages (fairly recent CVS versions) install fine, I'd recommend that. The only thing you'll need to do with the gnats package is that if you want to run mkdb on /var/lib/gnats/gnats-db, you'll have to recreate the directory. The gnats user installs w/a home directory of /var/lib/gnats/gnats-db. I'm planning on changing my local config so that it defaults to /var/lib/gnats instead. Other than that, I had very few problems. -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8GolIDMcLGCBsWv0RAsMYAKCUBLVt6B0Nsmm91wpGau/uD+Dz7QCfSNic ZPfQ33sCAhd2aMwm0DERNH4= =ufE/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 29+ messages in thread
