Hi Folks, I installed otrs on a Solaris 10 x86 zone with ActivePerl 5.10 solaris pkg. The installation went smoothly and I was able to set up mysql database through gui. At the end of the 4'th step, when I try to go to the link provided, I face with the following error: Software error: no connection to syslog available - unix dgram connect: Socket operation on non-socket at ../..//Kernel/System/Log/SysLog.pm line 63 For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error. I did some search on the list but I could not find an answer to solve the problem. I am using Sun Java Web Server 7.0 and I have the following warnings from the error logs: 10/Feb/2010:15:01:53 warning for host 192.168.1.100 trying to GET /otrs/ index.pl, /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/index.pl reports: CORE4385: stderr: [Wed Feb 10 15:01:53 2010] index.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Unknown system variable 'NAMES' at /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/System/DB.pm line 427. 10/Feb/2010:15:01:53 warning for host 192.168.1.100 trying to GET /otrs/ index.pl, /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/index.pl reports: CORE4385: stderr: [Wed Feb 10 15:01:53 2010] index.pl: no connection to syslog available 10/Feb/2010:15:01:53 warning for host 192.168.1.100 trying to GET /otrs/ index.pl, /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/index.pl reports: CORE4385: stderr: [Wed Feb 10 15:01:53 2010] index.pl: - unix dgram connect: Socket operation on non-socket at ../..//Kernel/System/Log/SysLog.pm line 63 Here is what I am using root@zotrs# cat /etc/release Solaris 10 10/09 s10x_u8wos_08a X86 ..... root@zotrs# perl -v This is perl, v5.10.1 built for x86-solaris-thread-multi (with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) ....

Hi,
Just shooting in the dark here:
Syslog is not the only option to store OTRS logs, at the point you reached,
I guess you already have a Config.pm file, have you checked it? mine looks
like this and I'm using syslog, I guess if you don't have syslog enabled on
your box, you could get rid of the second line and then run again
installer.pl to see what happens
$Self->{'LogModule::LogFile'} = '/tmp/otrs.log';
$Self->{'LogModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Log::SysLog';
Hope it helps,

Does anybody know if the errors above are mysql related or is there
something else going on?
Did anybody successfully install the latest otrs on solaris 10 zone before?
If so what database did you use?
Anybody out there have any idea what's going on with the error?

Hi
As far as I know this error is not related to mysql.*Syslog* is a standard
for forwarding log messages in to an internet protocol comuter system (guyes
please correct me if I am wrong).Hope you will get the some hint for your
problem on the link *

Hi Deniz.
Syslog is the default for OTRS, so if you just remove that from your
Config.pm it will still use it.
Please try and set it explicitly to Logfile by adding these lines to
Config.pm:
$Self->{'LogModule::LogFile'} = '/tmp/otrs.log';
$Self->{'LogModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Log::File';
If setting to file does work, then it's something with the Syslog setup on
your system or the Syslog config in OTRS. Please review the options
available via SysConfig.

Hi Leonardo,
I do have Config.pm files in the following locations:
/opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm.dist /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm /opt/otrs/Kernel/System/Config.pm /opt/otrs/Kernel/Modules/AdminSysConfig.pm
I also have syslog enabled in the zone:
root@zotrs# svcs -a | grep system-log online 14:38:47 svc:/system/system-log:default
I commented out $Self->{'LogModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Log::SysLog'; in /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm and restarted the server instance, but I did not have any luck.
I am not sure what I am missing here..

Thanks Michiel, that seems to be working but now I am running into another
problem.
I go to http://server/otrs/index.pl and I am greeted with the login page. I
enter my default user name as "root@localhost" and password "root", It seems
to try to connect but finally the browser gives up with the following:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
# The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
# If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
# If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make
sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I clean up cookies, restart the server instance, restart the database again
same thing with no luck.
I was using mysql database but I changed to postgres. In both instances I
get the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks..
Deniz.

So, any info in your web servers' error log?
Best to check there first before switching your database :D
BTW You mentioned you used Sun Java Web server, and that's all good and
stuff, but I guess most users will have either Apache or Microsoft IIS. I
don't say that it will not work, just I do not make any promises either...

Hi Michiel,
Well, that is the problem actually, no errors showing up either in Web
Server logs or in /var/adm/messages. In both instances same thing happened.
I just can't pinpoint where the problem is. The following URI's are set up
for CGI directories and Document Directories:
CGI : /otrs defined as /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin
Document Directory: /otrs-web defined as /opt/otrs/var/http/htdocs
I am not sure if it is web server's fault here. It could very well be. Most
of our company stuff runs on this web server, our company web site, test
bugzilla install, and bunch of other stuff.
Any input will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.

So, any info in your web servers' error log? Best to check there first before switching your database :D
BTW You mentioned you used Sun Java Web server, and that's all good and stuff, but I guess most users will have either Apache or Microsoft IIS. I don't say that it will not work, just I do not make any promises either...

Thanks Michiel, that seems to be working but now I am running into another problem. I go to http://server/otrs/index.pl and I am greeted with the login page. I enter my default user name as "root@localhost" and password "root", It seems to try to connect but finally the browser gives up with the following:
The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. # The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
# If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
# If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I clean up cookies, restart the server instance, restart the database again same thing with no luck.
I was using mysql database but I changed to postgres. In both instances I get the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks.. Deniz.

Hi Deniz.
Syslog is the default for OTRS, so if you just remove that from your Config.pm it will still use it.
Please try and set it explicitly to Logfile by adding these lines to Config.pm:
$Self->{'LogModule::LogFile'} = '/tmp/otrs.log'; $Self->{'LogModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Log::File';
If setting to file does work, then it's something with the Syslog setup on your system or the Syslog config in OTRS. Please review the options available via SysConfig. -- Michiel Beijen R&D

Hi,
Just shooting in the dark here:
Syslog is not the only option to store OTRS logs, at the point you reached, I guess you already have a Config.pm file, have you checked it? mine looks like this and I'm using syslog, I guess if you don't have syslog enabled on your box, you could get rid of the second line and then run again installer.pl to see what happens
$Self->{'LogModule::LogFile'} = '/tmp/otrs.log'; $Self->{'LogModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Log::SysLog';
Hope it helps,

Hi Deniz, as Michiel said most of us have no experience with OTRS on Sun Java Web server and perhaps the same is true for Solaris. So helping is difficult. Do you have the possibility to use a machine with Apache and MySQL on Solaris or even on Linux as an intermediate step ? Then chances to get this running would be higher and afterwards you would have a reference machine to build upon.

Thank you for your responses, I was able to get otrs up and running with
Solaris 10+apache2+mysql
I had some difficulties installing the mysql dbd driver with mysql 64 bit
version, but it worked with 32 bit under solaris 10.
I am planning to go deeper in the future how to get otrs working with Sun
Java Web Server 7.0 but until then we'll have to use apache2.
I'll post my experiences here later....
Thanks again for all the helpful hints and responses.
Regards,
Deniz..
