I am using mod_perl with Apache2 on a RHEL 3 machine and have installed the latest version of NicTool. I am trying to apply the patch for SOAP::Lite and the DBI patch ( HTTP.pm.patch & DBI.pm.patch ) however the application of patch keeps failing for either case. Can someone help.
Here is what I am doing
# cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/SOAP/Transport/
# cp -p HTTP.pm HTTP.pm.orig
# wget
http://nictool.com/docs/server/HTTP.pm.patch(Received the patch)
# patch -p1 < HTTP.pm.patch
missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I was not able to get the current versions of NicTool to work with mod_perl2, apache2, and the latest perl mods for SOAP::Lite, etc.
The patches provided are from more than 18 months ago. One of the issues with SOAP::Lite has already been fixed, but it appears that changes in mod_perl2 render NicTool unusable in its current state. I had to roll back to Apache1 for my installation.
Matt - if you need an Apache2 installation to sandbox/dev in, let me know.
The patch is no longer necessary for use with Apache2. I updated the install page (
http://www.nictool.com/docs/server/install.shtml) and included a link to the discussion thread that has more information.
The thread links don't seem to take me to the thread. Can you check this?
