OTRS5 with nginx + fcgiwrap on FreeBSD

Post by viniciusferrao »

Hello guys,

I'm "suffering" to install OTRS with nginx and fcgiwrap on FreeBSD 10.3.

After some time I finally end up with the system running but I've a problem dealing with users creation process.

On the Agent Management I've created a new agent account for me but when I click on my login name to edit my details with the admin account this happens:

Code: Select all

An error occurred while reading CGI reply (no response received)
Nothing more happens. And I can't see any verbose from fcgiwrap/nginx. So I'm really lost with what should be happening.

Just in case I'm attaching my settings:

System:
FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE
Packages:
fcgi-devkit-2.4.0_5 FastCGI Development Kit
fcgiwrap-1.1.0_3 Simple FastCGI wrapper for CGI scripts
p5-FCGI-0.78 Modules for perl5, for enabling FastCGI support in CGI scripts
nginx-1.10.0_1,2 Robust and small WWW server
p5-DBD-Pg-3.5.3 Provides access to PostgreSQL databases through the DBI
postgresql95-client-9.5.2 PostgreSQL database (client)
postgresql95-server-9.5.2 The most advanced open-source database available anywhere
otrs-5.0.3_1 Open Ticket Request System

nginx.conf file:

I've found the problem.

First I discovered how to enable proper debugging of fcgiwrap on FreeBSD. Just put this option in `/etc/rc.conf`

Code: Select all

fcgiwrap_flags="-f"
It will throw errors at nginx error logfile.

Secondly this showed a missing Perl dependence, just install it to solve the issue:

Code: Select all

www/p5-CGI-Fast
If I find something else wrong I will continue this thread.

Another issue in the game.

The OTRS Daemon appears to be failing to start and spawning a lot of Workers. I've discovered this after running the ~otrs/bin/otrs.Daemon.pl start --debug:

Code: Select all

It goes indefinitely until I stop the daemon with ~otrs/bin/otrs.Daemon.pl stop

Any ideas?
