perl error after clean install

[Esky]

Hello, yesterday I did an install of cpanel/whm on a freshly installed freebsd box (with next to nothing installed prior to cpanel install) and after the install everything seems to work except spamd.

When I try to restart spamd from the prompt I get:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_US"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

The first warning on locale is just a warning, but the "Can't locate Digest/SHA1.pm in @INC" is more serious. The file is located at: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2/mach/Digest/SHA1.pm but that is not in the @INC. How do I get this directory in @INC???

EDIT: I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 on a dual xeon machine and WHM 10.6.0 cPanel 10.6.0-R201

after searching the net (also did that for a day before posting here) I opened a ticket and the solution was this:

The locale needed to be set correctly which is what was causing the error. I set it by running the following commands:

setenv LC_ALL "C"
setenv LANG "en_US"

hrmm, interesting.

Doesnt surprize me your having that issue with BSD, heh. Glad you found your solution.

it's weird I installed cpanel on another freebsd server last week without any problems...

anyway if you add the following lines to /etc/profile, /usr/share/skel/dot.profile and the .profile of every existing user it works like a charm

LANG=en_US;     export LANG
LC_ALL=C;       export LC_ALL

setenv/unsetenv are commands that are built into the csh family of shells. Under bash the equivalent built ins are export and unset. For example:

CSH: setenv name value
BASH: export name=value

CSH: unsetenv name
BASH: unset name

Hi guys,

I think there is a bit another problem. According to the error message the moudle Digest::SHA1 isn't installed. That is why spamd doesn't work.

You can install the script via WHM or manually. The necessary module can be downloaded on the page:
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Digest-SHA1-2.11/

then you need to untar it and do:

#perl Makefile.PL
#make
#mate test <-- it is optional
#make install

That's all

Hope it helps you.
