[freeside] Setup is impossible

Sun Dec 10 15:36:20 PST 2000

I thank you for this!

I found that the CVS had a newer version that did the tarball avilable for
download.. So I checked-out the CVS tree and started with that...

All seems fine except for this error:

[Sun Dec 10 18:36:54 2000] cust_main.cgi: Can't get secrets: No such file or
directory at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/FS/UID.pm line 238.

I've put that damn secrets file in every concivable directory even!

Any ideas?

NewAccount.  Here is where the secrets file is demystified. Mapsecrets can
contain several lines pointing to diferent iterations of freeside.  My first
iteration is named NewAccount.  That being said, here is the contents of my
mapsecrets file.
