I am new to gnats and gnatsweb and have spent weeks trying to get gnatsweb to work without any luck. I have installed gnats on a Redhat 7.0 system by installing the following two rpms: root@kirby# rpm -qa | fgrep gnats gnats-3.113-5 gnats-db-3.113-5 I have downloaded gnatsweb from here: ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gnats/contrib/gnatsweb-2.7beta.tar.gz I have followed the installation steps in gnatsweb-2.7beta/INSTALL up to step 5 where it says: 5. Run the tests to make sure the setup is OK. Specify a username/password/database_name on the command line like so: make test USERNAME=anon PASSWORD=pw DATABASE=db_alias This is the first I have seen a username/password mentioned. The Redhat gnats rpms don't come with a password file so I created this: root@kirby# cat /usr/share/gnats/gnats-db/gnats-adm/gnatsd.access wes:test:admin:* *:*:view I can't find any information on what to use for the DATABASE so I tried this: root@kirby# make test USERNAME=wes PASSWORD=test DATABASE=/usr/share/gnats/gnats-db perl test.pl Content-type: text/html <H1>Software error:</H1> <PRE>Can't call method "header" on an undefined value at gnatsweb.pl line 2117, <SOCK> line 1. </PRE> <P> For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error. [Fri Mar 9 10:41:19 2001] test.pl: Can't call method "header" on an undefined value at gnatsweb.pl line 2117, <SOCK> line 1. connect...........................................FAIL make: *** [test] Error 255 I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what. Does anyone use gnatsweb? Does it really work? HELP! >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
