RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mike Burns 2011-10-28 18:42:37 UTC

Description of problem:
vhostmd uses pagerate.pl for it's PageRates metric which requires perl.  This won't work for RHEV-M users of RHEV-H because perl is not included in the image.

This will also be the case for anything else that uses perl.

vhostmd-0.4-2.4.el6

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-10-28 20:51:18 UTC

I had a look into this and two observations:

(1) There is only one Perl script.

(2) It is very trivial and only 39 lines long.

So it shouldn't be a problem to replace this,
probably with a shell script -- it really is that
simple.

Comment 5 Perry Myers 2011-10-28 20:58:12 UTC

Bash would be fine as well :)

Comment 12 Frank Danapfel 2011-11-02 15:12:08 UTC

Yes, SAP doesn't care anymore about the data that was gathered by the pagerate.pl script, so from their point of view it can be removed completely.

Comment 15 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-03-06 08:41:24 UTC

Update the summary, because as per comment 12 we don't
want the pagerate Perl script at all.

Comment 16 Qixiang Wan 2012-03-12 02:28:34 UTC

Confirm the pagerate.pl has been removed from vhostmd package now. So change this to VERIFIED.
