SID-01470: Twiki + LdapContrib on windows issue

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.0	Perl version:	ActivePerl v5.12
Category:	LdapContrib	Server OS:	windows server 2008 SP1	Last update:	14 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to install Twiki on a windows server 2008 SP1. I've installed ActivePerl v5.12, Apache 2.2.8 and Twiki 4.2. Everything was working ok until I tried to install LdapContrib. This is the error log I have:

Warning: CPAN is not available, some installer functions have been disabled

### LdapContrib Installer ###

This installer must be run from the root directory of your TWiki
installation.
    * You can abort the script at any point and re-run it later
    * If you answer 'no' to any questions you can always re-run
      the script again later

If not, I will try to download a new one.

Error: Installer returned errors:

Does anybody know how to resolve it? I tried installing the modules manually and I tried using Perl64 and 32 bits. Any help will be really welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Discussion and Answer

Install the CPAN dependencies separately. See HowToInstallCpanModules.

I have done that: install Bundle::CPAN reload cpan

But still having the same problem.

Make sure you have Unicode::MapUTF8 installed as well.

Run configure to see if you see the LDAP settings in the Extensions section.

Yes, I have the LDAP setting in the Extensions section. But, after config it, this is the error message I have:

Software error:

Any idea?

DB_File is part of Berkeley DB. Install the CPAN:DB_File module.
