Re: Re: Problem installing DBI

Also check so that your repositories are set up properly, that can cause the same effect as firewalls, I've noticed.

Type "help repository" or "help rep" to get some available commands, at least in PPM3.

If you type "rep", you should get a list like this one:

  1. ActiveState PPM2 Repository
* 2. ActiveState Package Repository

with possibly more entries. Make sure you have such entries, and that one of them has a star ('*') in front of it.

If not, try to choose one of them with "rep set", or if needed, add a new one with "rep add" as per the help. Also try to set different ones to see if one might be down. I've had these entries damaged upon occassion, and it also behaved real badly then. :)

If you need to add one, try to add "ActiveState Package Repository" with the URL "http://ppm-ia.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver.plex?urn:/PPM/Server/SQL".

Then again, if this is a firewall issue, then none of this will help. :)

A reinstall might also possibly be not quicker, but easier and potentially repairing other things too.
