Requirements for VirtualCatalog

*ddunlap* · 08-06-2002, 03:31 PM

Last week I ordered a gold package for a new client that also wants to use VirtualCatalog (http://www.virtualcart.com) to maintain the products in their online store. I have used the virtualcart program seamlessly on FQ with other accounts, and I thought all I needed was MySQL for this to work.

However, now they are telling me that they need a few other things:
1. Perl 5.004_04
2. CGI perl module
3. DBI perl module
4. DBD::CSV
5. Optional DBD:mysql

Are all of these things installed on DEXTER? If not, can they be? If not, I have the option of moving the account to their server, just trying to avoid that.

Hello Dee,

1) yes (5.00503 is backwards compatible)
2) yes
3) yes
4) yes
5) yes

Two things to learn... You can check to see if any module is installed via:
1) Command Line: perl -MDBD::CVS -e1
(if no error, then it is installed)
2) CNC ServerInfo page - look for the perl modules link

Note that this item is not optional if you plan to use mysql with the cart. I believe this module is also available on each FQ server.

Okay, here's the problem du jour for Wednesday...

"It looks like MySQL is there in the root directory but I'm having trouble trying to get MySQL started on her server. I'm not used to her flavor of Linux."

Geez, I didn't know this stuff came in flavors. I'd like strawberry, please.
