Hello,

I am configuring OCS Server using the following two documentations:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OCSNG
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-ins...-on-centos-5.5

Getting below error during installaton:

""Checking for DBI PERL module...
Found that PERL module DBI is available.
Checking for Apache:BI PERL module...
*** ERROR: PERL module Apache:BI is not installed !
Checking for DBD::mysql PERL module...

*** ERROR: There is one or more required PERL modules missing on your computer !

i have googled for the solution unsuccessfully.

code tags would be helpful in your post.

Like so:

well, you didn't find anything in google???

I search this "how to install a perl module using cpan"

And here is what is the first result:
Installing Perl modules from CPAN
"http://perl.about.com/od/packagesmod...t/perlcpan.htm"

Well, I hope that will help,

Angel.

Code:

yum install perl-Apache-DBI //

Getting the following error:

Error: Package: perl-Apache-DBI-1.09-1.el5.noarch (epel)
Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Installing Perl modules from CPAN
"http://perl.about.com/od/packagesmod...t/perlcpan.htm" //

thanks for the suggestion, but i have already tried using CPAN and getting the following error message.

Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

So why don't you try to do what it say and install all your missing perl module?

Ex:

# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache:BI' //

yes i have tried this code, but still getting the same error message.

This should fix it then:

yum install perl-CPAN //


done with installing the missing module, thanks a lot for the help

I know this post is a bit old, but the information is still valid. Do yourself a favor and instead of installing CPAN and related Perl modules, install the "extras" repository as those RPM packages are already built and available.

First, add the EPEL repository and follow the prompts
# yum install epel-release

Now install those needed packages (as well as a few others needed for OCS)
# yum install perl-Apache-DBI perl-XML-Entities perl-Apache2-SOAP

Cheers, D.
