Description GRIMLER Nicolas 2002-11-08 03:45:33 UTC

Hi,

I've just installed the ezmlm-idx-mysql-0.40 ebuild (masked package) in order to
create mailing-lists stored in a MySQL database.

For convinience, I install QMailAdmin (http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin/) CGI
for easy pop accounts/lists management.

According to the Apache, Qmail, Vpopmail, QMail-Autoresponder and EZmlm
installation with their ebuilds, this is the "configure" line I've used:
   ./configure --enable-vpopmaildir=/var/vpopmail \
--enable-htmldir=/web/apache/www.heliaconseil.com \
--enable-cgibindir=/home/httpd/cgi-bin --enable-qmaildir=/var/qmail \
--enable-ezmlmdir=/usr/bin --enable-autoresponder-bin=/usr/bin \
--enable-vpopuser=vpopmail --enable-vpopgroup=vpopmail

It compile fine and no problems for installing, correct access directives in
Apache configuration let me access the CGI script by any web browser.

But, when I create a new list,on submitting the informations, I have a
500-Internal Server Error.
Apache ErrorLog says:
"ezmlm-make: fatal: /var/tmp/portage/ezmlm-idx-mysql-0.40/image//usr/bin/ezmlmrc
does not exist
[Fri Nov  8 09:18:37 2002] [error] [client 192.168.25.38] Premature end of
script headers: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/qmailadmin"

I tried to unmerge the ezmlm-idx-mysql-0.40 and re-emerge him but unsuccessfully.
After unmerging it and emerging the ezmlm-idx-0.40 ebuild (without MySQL
support), all things gone right and I can create lists.
I've unmerged ezmlm-idx-0.40 and emerged ezmlm-idx-mysql-0.40 again and that's
ok with MySQL support right now.

It seems to be a bug in the ebuild script or a var set at compile time.

If you need more informations, don't be afraid to email me!

Thanks.

Nicolas

I have not experienced the problem as noted with ezmlm-idx-mysql-0.40-r2

please test this build and let me know if you have further problems.
