Item884: MailerContrib cron tries to access setlib.cfg - can't find it

When running the cron job on a ubuntu / webmin administered system. I get the following error message

Can't locate setlib.cfg in @INC (@INC contains: bin /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at tools/mailnotify line 28.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at tools/mailnotify line 29.

The file is there alright, but the path is not included in the INC variable.

On a debian installed ubuntu version the correct path should be, at least to my knowledge: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/foswiki

I have a debian installed ubuntu version, and to get this to work my cronjob entry is

07 3 * * * (cd /var/lib/foswiki/ && perl -I /usr/lib/cgi-bin/foswiki tools/mailnotify -q)

It does not seem like Yogu comes back to his bug

I consider this a support question answered.

No Action

I'm running Ubuntu as well and had to include the entire path to foswiki/bin in order for this to work. Including only 'bin' as shown in the examples does not work. Foswiki version is 1.1.1.

00 19 * * * (cd /var/www/wiki && perl -I /var/www/wiki/bin tools/mailnotify -user AdminUser -q)
