Could not find ParserDetails.ini in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX

I've setup a wonderful computer inventory management system called OCSReports . I initially had some errors when the agents tried to send reports to the server getting 5.0.0. responses from the server but that was solved by installing the perl-XML-SAX package through yum.

It solved the problem for me , but I kept getting this annoying error in the error logs in apache afterwards

"could not find ParserDetails.ini in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX"

I managed to fix it luckily by doing some googling and performing the following action

perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl))->save_parsers()"

Squid error w/VideoCache

On a testbed server we got the following error

The Redirector helpers are crashing to rapidly, need help !

Solution

/usr/sbin/update-vc

This updates your system in accordance with the /etc/videocache.conf file.

Sending SMS's from the linux console

We have a server running Call Monitoring and System/Link Monitoring , and we use SMS's to notify us when either a link/server goes down or when a call is logged.We use a package called SMS Server Tools 3 to send sms's to us.


Configuration is very easy , provided you have a kernel that can detect the 3G Modem you are attaching to the system.
