Re: gnatsd daemon problem

[S Ramesh]

hi,

I followed the steps as u mentioned. I downloaded 2.8.2 version of 
gnatsweb and i created the /etc/gnats-db.conf file as

/usr/local/share/gnats/gnats-db: dbase

Now i run the test as 

make test USERNAME=anon PASSWORD=pw DATABASE=dbase

and this is the output

perl test.pl
Content-type: text/html
 
<H1>Software error:</H1>
<CODE>Can't call method &quot;header&quot; on an undefined value at 
gnatsweb.pl line 2198.
</CODE>
<P>
For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this 
error message
and the time and date of the error.
 
[Wed Jul 11 20:05:59 2001] test.pl: Can't call method "header" on an 
undefined value at gnatsweb.pl line 2198.
connect...........................................FAIL
make: *** [test] Error 111


Kindly help me what could be the problem. The main problem what i 
feel is connection refused error message is given. Why it is giving 
so. 

even wheni telnet like

telnet localhost 1529 

the output is 

connection refused. But this entry is there in the /etc/services file.

Help me,
Ramesh
