Hey guys, OTRS looks like a great piece of software and perfect for what I need setup at my job. I've followed the instructions for installing, my webserver is setup and all needed perl modules are installed. However, when I go to run the installer.pl (or even index.pl) I get this error: no connection to syslog available at ../..//Kernel/System/Log/SysLog.pm line 64 Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm not sure what I have to do to get it to connect to syslog. My boss (who setup the unix server) told me that syslog is using all the default settings and I coudln't find any syslog things to set in the Config.pm. Oh yeah and I"m trying to run OTRS on Solaris 8. --Matthew Shapiro

There doesn't seem to be a Syslog daemon running, or it is not accepting connections.

These are coming from Kernel/Config/Defaults.pm and are to be noted/chnged in Kernel/Config.pm: # (log backend module) $Self->{LogModule} = 'Kernel::System::Log::SysLog'; # $Self->{LogModule} = 'Kernel::System::Log::File'; # param for LogModule Kernel::System::Log::SysLog # $Self->{'LogModule::SysLog::Facility'} = 'user'; # param for LogModule Kernel::System::Log::SysLog # (if syslog can't work with utf-8, force the log # charset with this option, on other chars will be # replaces with ?) # $Self->{'LogModule::SysLog::Charset'} = 'iso-8859-15'; # $Self->{'LogModule::SysLog::Charset'} = 'utf-8';

Might be there are other Solaris things to consider first. hth, Robert Kehl

Ah sweet thanks, when looking at that file in the
editor I missed the lines that were commented out. I
just uncommented the line:
# $Self->{'LogModule::SysLog::Facility'} = 'user';
and now the web installer is working.
Thanks!
