Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

I am installing the pre-requisites for VMWARE sdk, while I execute the cpan command I see below error and its not completing. Can anyone help me understand the problem here.

Nagios Server : CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)
Nagios App : 5.8.3

*****Error****

[root@CH-S_TGINAG01 ~]# cpan -i App::cpanminus
Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to
some missing parameters. Configuration will be written to
<</root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm>>


CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatically.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for each
configuration option instead.

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes] yes

Autoconfigured everything but 'urllist'.

Now you need to choose your CPAN mirror sites. You can let me
pick mirrors for you, you can select them from a list or you
can enter them by hand.

Would you like me to automatically choose some CPAN mirror
sites for you? (This means connecting to the Internet) [yes] yes
Looking for CPAN mirrors near you (please be patient)

Hi,

Please compare your /root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm to the following, at a minimum I think your urllist
has a bad or nonvalue:

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Thanks

here is the o/p:

[root@CH-S_TGINAG01 bin]# cat /root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
1;

it has just nothing on it.

I did install cpan. attched the results

I have to manually export the proxy if I have to download any package on the server.

Did you add your proxy in /root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm?
If you do you shouldn't have to keep re-entering it.

Also, make sure there is a value for the urllist parameter.

Thanks
