Failed OTRS install (Win32)

I can't persuade OTRS to install. Server is a dedicated Windows 2000 box with: ActivePerl 5.6.1.635 Apache 1.3.28 MySQL 3.23.58 OTRS 1.1.3 all installed exactly as per the documentation at http://doc.otrs.org/1.1/html/x111.html. On first firing up the web browser on the server and pointing it at http://localhost/otrs/index.pl, I simply receive the following page: Software error: Can't load log backend module Kernel::System::Log::SysLog! Can't locate Sys/Syslog.pm in @INC (@INC contains: d:/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/cpan-lib d:/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../.. ../../ d:/otrs/Kernel/cpan-lib d:/otrs/ d:/Perl/lib d:/Perl/site/lib . d:/apache/apache/ d:/apache/apache/lib/perl d:/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../.. d:/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/cpan-lib) at d:/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/System/Log/SysLog.pm line 15. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at d:/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/System/Log/SysLog.pm line 15. Compilation failed in require at (eval 78) line 3. OTRS looks fantastic, so I'd really really like to get it working - any ideas, for a windows dude who knows nothing about apache and its many configuration files would be most gratefully received.

Set this in apache-perl-startup.pl: use Kernel::System::Log; #use Kernel::System::Log::SysLog; use Kernel::System::Log::File; And this in Config.pm: $Self->{LogModule} = 'Kernel::System::Log::File'; $Self->{'LogModule::LogFile'} = '/xampp/otrs/var/log/otrs.log'; hth, Robert Kehl

$Self->{LogModule} = 'Kernel::System::Log::File'; $Self->{'LogModule::LogFile'} = '/xampp/otrs/var/log/otrs.log';
Sorry, the above doesn't work. These are the correct settings for Config.pm: $Self->{LogModule} = 'Kernel::System::Log::File'; $Self->{'LogModule::LogFile'} = 'C:/otrs/var/log/otrs.log'; It was my cat dancing on the keyboard, you know... ;-) Regards, Robert Kehl
