RE: GNATS installation

[Uma R]

Hi,
  We are also working majorly to install it in solaris. If u could gimme the
details of how to get rid of those errors
during installation it would be really great. Also in the installation guide
of the gnatsweb u have mentioned about
the CGI enabled directory. In solaris where will the CGI enabled directory
probably be 'coz in linux i am able to create
/httpd/cgi-bin in the /home directory. In solaris we are struck really.
Could u please tell me how the steps will be for
installing the gnatsweb in solaris. (gnatsweb-2.8.2 is the version i use).

Thanks in advance,
Uma R

Newer Linux distributions don't run inetd. They have a system daemon called
xinetd, with associated setup files in /etc. There was a posting on the
mailing list a few days ago detailing what entry you need in the xinetd
config files. Have a look at the mailing list archives at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gnats-devel/2001-q3/

I haven't used xinetd much myself, being more of a Solaris guy, so I am
afraid I can't give much more detailed help. You might try asking for help
with xinetd on the gnats-devel mailing list.
