I need some advice on how to install ServDoc

newbie14 · 04-13-2013, 11:10 AM

I am trying to the software called ServDoc. I was reading through the README and it talk about the ServDoc script. So this is what I did, first chmod 755 ServDoc and then I tried to run using this command ./ServDoc and got this

Code:

Can't use string ("0") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at/usr/local/servdoc/output_modules/ServDoc_ascii line 93, <STDIN> 
line 3.<!DOCTYPE ServDoc SYSTEM "ServDoc.dtd">[.

What must I do to run it well?

Cd to the directory you installed it in, then try running it as

Code:

perl ./ServDoc --output=html > /tmp/servdoc.html

Dear Unspawn,
Still the same I tried this perl ./ServDoc --output=html > /tmp/servdoc.html
Can't use string ("0") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/local/servdoc/output_modules/ServDoc_html line 146, <STDIN> line 3. ? Thank you.

Not the right thing to do but you could comment out "use strict;" everywhere then try again?..

Dear Unspawn,
Ok I have tried it works but the output just show one line this Computer Documentation for .... " No other information is being generated?

Odd. If I run 'perl ./ServDoc --output=ascii | tee output' I get +10K lines of output though that's using Centos 5. Maybe it's time to try another inventory tool.

Dear Unspawn,
Mine is centos 6.4 could be due to that ? What will you suggest for another inventory tool as you wanted me to email the inventory ?
