I am new to R. I am trying to call 'R' from a webserver created using apache. For this purpose I have written a perl script which calls the R from within it. Everything works fine until the 'R' program is called, and it gives the error in the error.log file as : "Command 'R' not found in /sbin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /usr/bin at /usr/local/share/perl5/Statistics/R.pm line 332." Is there any problem with the environment variables for R (if any) or is there something else which i am not able to understand. Though I found a similar question here which gave the solution of using rapache but i am not sure whether i can use it or not. Any sort of help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  • Have you tried modifying the path within the perl script or using the full pathname to R? In addition, since you say, "I found a similar question here," please link to it. – Matthew Lundberg Dec 24 '13 at 05:14
  • Yes, I had tried the same but the problem still persisted. And the link for the similar question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1395174/how-to-call-r-from-within-a-web-server-like-apache – user3073333 Dec 24 '13 at 05:41
  • Show us your perl code that calls R. It looks like you are using a perl package (Statistics:R) but haven't configured it to find R properly. – Spacedman Dec 25 '13 at 09:44
  • Hi..yes that was the problem..! Since i was using it for the first time i could not rightly configure it to find R. Just got it right yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion.1 :) – user3073333 Dec 27 '13 at 07:05
