[Help] CGI Perl with MySQL for Spiderbasic

Post by mk-soft »

I have an old NAS from Buffalo with MySQL and WebServer with Perl.

But I can't get a Perl script to read or write to the MySQL database.
The server does not support the module DBI (use dbi).

After I have output the modules via Perl script, I only find the possibility to solve this with the following modules.
- Session
- Session/Driver
- Session/Driver/MySQL

I am a real beginner with Perl (which does not happen often)

Thanks

Is there no chance to install the DBI and the DBD-mysql modules? For example using ssh login?
I work(ed) a lot with perl, use(d) the DBI and DBD-mysql, and would love to help you, through pm or mail in german, as you are such a big help for PB.

I have the module : /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/CGI/Session/Driver/DBI.pm
But the perl examples from internet not working.

I think I have to create a valid session first

Perl Script for output all moduls

Code: Select all

use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
use strict;
use File::Find qw/find/;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";


print "<html><head><title>NAS Module Lister</title></head>";
print "<body><h1>NAS Module Lister.</h1>\n";

print "<p>The values in \@INC:</p>\n";

print "<p><ul>\n";
foreach ( @INC ) {
    print "<li>$_</li>\n";
}
print "</p></ul>\n";

print "<p>The installed modules:</p><ul>\n";
find ( \&wanted, @INC );

print "</ul>";

sub wanted {
    print "<li>$File::Find::name</li>\n";
}

Do you have SSH access (as root?) and are the make tools installed?

Then please try:

Code: Select all

wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/H/HM/HMBRAND/DBI-1.647.tgz

tar -xzf DBI-1.647.tgz
cd DBI-1.647
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/D/DV/DVEEDEN/DBD-mysql-5.011.tar.gz

tar -xzf DBD-mysql-5.011.tar.gz
cd DBD-mysql-5.011
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
The Makefile.PL call of the DBD module normally wants a parameter like

Code: Select all

perl Makefile.PL --mysql_config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
where the general config file of mysql could be find, maybe you have to search for the file mysql_config and set it, but maybe it will work without.

This is the manually way I use when installing linux servers without package tools.

DBI is available under Session.
But I can't figure out how to work with Session->Driver->DBI.
