I was using OTRS 2.0-beta and decided to upgrade to the stable 2.01 version. I am running Apache 1.3.33 on FreeBSD 5.4 with Perl 5.8.6 Using the beta version, I found the Webmail & Calendar features super-useful. To my surprise, when I upgraded -- and I probably did it somewhat "bone-headed" -- I got the error message "Error: Sorry, mod_perl2 is needed by this module!" when I went to run the Package Manager. What could I do to re-install the Webmail & Calendar modules?

Simply install them manualy with the script $otrshome/bin/opm.pl 1. Geht the opm packages you want to install from ftp://otrs.org/pub/otrs/misc/packages 2. Change to $otrshome/bin. 3. Execute ./opm.pl -a install -p path/to/the/downloaded/package.opm \ -o path/to/the/directory/where/otrs/is/located to install the package(s). Example: I dowloaded the webmailer package to /opt/otrs/bin and my otrs installation is located under /opt/otrs. To install the webmailer, I use the following command: /opt/otrs/bin/opm.pl -a install -p /opt/otrs/bin/WebMail-0.9.5.opm \ -o /opt/otrs/ Execute opm.pl -h for mor information about the usage of opm.pl. However, the problem you have with mod_perl and the package manager is a bug I think, because I can use the package manager without mod_perl and I have no problems. I think its a problem how mod_perl is integrated in the webserver configuration. We'll check the package manager to fix this.

Hmm, I wrote the link in my description above ;). Here it is again ;): ftp://otrs.org/pub/otrs/misc/packages I forgot to mension, that you have to restart your webserver after you've installed the packages because mod_perl has to parse and compile the new modules.
