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

Software error:

Can't call method "header" on an undefined value at gnatsweb.pl line 2117, <SOCK> line 1.

For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Does anyone use gnatsweb? Does it really work? HELP! >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
