Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Bugzilla :: Database, defect)

Description

[Bruce Rindahl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070620 Minefield/3.0a6pre
Build Identifier: Bugzilla 3.0

Using ActiveState perl v5.8.8 for MSWin32-x-multi-thread.
Bugzilla 3.0.
PostgreSQL 8.2.0

After installing all the perl modules including DBD-Pg I edited localconfig to:
$db_driver = 'pg';
When running checksetup.pl again it checks for perl modules, then
Reading ./localconfig...
Checking for   DBD-Pg (v1.45) ok: found v1.45

At this point I get the Microsoft Error Box. The title is "Perl Command Line Interperter".  The message is "Perl Command Line Interperter has encountered a problem and needs to close."

The details window says:
"An unhandled win32 exception occured in perl.exe [3892]"
There are additional comments about Just-In-Time debugging.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Note when I change localconfig to:
$db_driver = 'mysql';
I get a clean and fully functional bugzilla after it configures mySQL.

We use PostgreSQL for our server and I would like to use it for Bugzilla.

The identical behavior occurs on WindowsXP (SP2) and Windows Server 2003

That sounds like a bug in DBD::Pg, to me. You might want to check this list of DBD::Pg bugs here:

Also, try upgrading to a newer version of DBD-Pg.

I upgraded DBD-Pg to version 1.49 and it worked fine.  Thanks for the tip.  Sorry I didn't look around a bit harder.  Might want to consider requiring the 1.49 version in the install.
Thanks!
