Fez

Hi Matt,

Thanks for this (apologies for the delay in replying!). I'm still not
having any joy, but am finding that by putting in the print_r statement
you suggest, I'm now getting:
=20
DOMNodeList Object ( )=20

When I run the batch import (of an eprints export_xml file).=20

It seems that the import isn't picking up any nodes, as you suggested.=20

The eprints data we have is in the same format as yours
(eprintsdata/record).

I've tried both ways of configuring the URL for the eprints instance, in
the config file (as suggested in the wiki).

Is there anything else I can look at, to see if I can get them to pick
up?

Thanks
Caroline

Subject: Re: [Fwd: FW: [Fez-users] Error with Fez 1.2 Batch Import and
Export]

Hi Caroline,

Christiaan is on holidays / conferences in the US but forwarded this to=20
me as I am looking after Fez (in a limited capacity) while he's away.

The file in question is class.batchimport.php, see line 90,     function

handleEntireEprintsImport($pid, $collection_pid, $xmlObj)

You can piece together what it's looking for by looking at the xpath=20
queries e.g
        $recordNodes =3D $xpath->query('//eprintsdata/record');

means it is getting all the XML record elements inside eprintsdata
records:
<eprintsdata>
  <record>
    ...
  </record>
  <record>
    ...
  </record>
etc..

Then the next queries obtain various elements from each record.  An=20
important value is the type field:
  <field name=3D"type">confpaper</field>
If the value here is not one we know about, then the record will be=20
skipped.  (see the switch statement starting on line 195).  The default=20
is to print 'Unrecognised record type'.

In the list of background processes on the MyFez page, there is a black=20
monitor symbol on the right, if you click it, it should show any error=20
messages seen during the background process.

I'm guessing that the initial xpath query is not obtaining any eprints=20
records.  Try doing a print_r($recordNodes) on line 113.

Here's an example of one record from our repository:

<eprintsdata>
  <record >
    <field  name=3D"eprintid">2</field>
    <field  name=3D"userid">2</field>

Hi All,

=20

Just a quick question here - if I go in and set some sort of security
for a record from a scroll box (eg select a "Fez User" as a Lister),
save it and go back in, we're not able to get rid of those rules (ie, to
deselect a person that's been selected). Am I missing something obvious
here?

=20

Thanks

That is very weird! The fact that it works inside the firewall, but not out=
side<BR>
it makes me think it has to be some sort of Proxy/DNS issue.<BR>
<BR>
One thing you can check is your Fez config.inc.php APP_BASE_URL and APP_REL=
ATIVE_URL variables to make sure they are ok.<BR>
After you successfully login Fez redirects you to APP_BASE_URL - so there c=
ould be a clue.<BR>
<BR>
That it not only redirects to<A href=3D"http://webmail.coalliance.org/parse=
.pl?redirect=3Dhttp://www.happyhub.com" target=3D_blank>www.happyhub.com</A=
>, but also redirects to a url path /network/reflex is very very odd.<BR>
<BR>
Are you using a proxy outside the firewall? Try not using the proxy (so dir=
ect connection to the internet) and see if it does the same thing.<BR>

Hi Christiaan,

Thanks for your speedy reply! I've turned Kowari off and I now get a
link on the object page. However, when I click on it, I just get a page
with the URL for the datastream, eg:

http://rubric-fez.usq.edu.au/fez/eserv.php?pid=3Drubric:124&dsID=3Dn7sign=
ers
.jpg

I'm still seeing the 'not created' errors in the error-handler.log:

The ImageMagick paths are correct - if I do a 'which convert', I get the
same as I've got in the config file.

I'm half way there - thanks for that. Any suggestions as to how to fix
the other half?

Thanks

Hi Caroline

Can you check the path to the ImageMagick convert commands in the fez
config.inc.php are really
where those command executables are on the server? You can do this by
running 'which convert' etc.

 From the tripples error that comes onto the browser it looks like the
Fedora Kowari tripplestore
has become corrupt. In the Fez installation instructions we actually
suggest turning
the Kowari tripplestore off as it is only used in Fez to reindex Fedora
objects - so when you do this
it is better to turn it on for just those rare occasions. You can
actually rebuild the tripplestore
with the fedora shell command 'fedora-rebuild' and choose the kowari
tripplestore. This usually fixes
any corruption, but we prefer to turn Kowari off.

So if you can change the Fedora config file fedora.fcfg variable
'resourceIndex' value to 0 (off) and stop
and start Fedora that error should go away and it could be causing all
the other errors you are having
if you ImageMagick path is correct.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
Christiaan

Hi All

I noticed that batchimport doesn't split off into the background on
windows.  I have attached a patch that uses the 'start' command to
launch a background process on windows.  Apply the patch in the
include directory.

To make this work you need 'allow this server to interact with
desktop' which on WinXP/2003 is to be set under Start > Run >
services.msc - next, right click "Apache...", select properties and
click on the 'login tab'.

(Based on comments in the PHP manual here:
http://au.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php#59361 )

A small annoyance: when using the browser on the server, some command
windows seem to pop up even though i've specified start /min.

Matt

I've attached a patch that fixes a few bugs in batch import and will
probably fix a few other little bugs in Fez to do with ingesting
datastreams of filenames with spaces and things like that.

The patch should be applied in the include directory and makes changes
to class.batchimport.php and class.foxml.php


Matt

Hi Xin,

If you are running Fez 1.2, the 'Running Processes' should be below
the Assigned Unpublished Items on the My Fez page.

I think there is an issue with a call to mime_content_type()

>From PHP manual notes:
"
This works on windows too. Make sure to uncomment the following in
your php.ini file:
extension=php_mime_magic.dll
Also make sure to add the following line anywhere inside the php.ini file:
mime_magic.magicfile = "C:\path\to\php\install\magic.mime"
Voila working mime content types in windows :)
"

Assuming your JHOVE installation is working ok (I managed to break
mine), that should get you a bit further along.

Matt

Hi All,

We're having some problems with images in Fez. I've looked through the
posts, but haven't found anything yet.

When a user submits an Image (or an object with an image), when the
object is viewed later (after submission), the datastream doesn't appear
with the object (ie the link to the picture isn't there). I can find it
on the server, but it's not displaying.

Also, the various 'versions' of the image aren't being created: error
logs give messages such as:

[Tue Jul 18 16:07:07 2006] Found error 'File not created

' on line '85' of script
'/usr/local/apache/htdocs/fez/workflow/thumbnail.php' on page
'/fez/workflow/enter_metadata.php'.

The user for Fez has permission to the temp directory, so that's not the
problem (and the image is being saved).

The error that appears in the browser when the item is submitted (at the
top) is:
ERROR: Array ( [0] =3D> Array ( [faultcode] =3D>
soapenv:Server.userException [faultstring] =3D>
fedora.server.errors.ResourceIndexException: Error adding triples:
org.kowari.query.QueryException: Commit failed [detail] =3D> Array (
[hostname] =3D> localhost ) ) [1] =3D>

>From an older post, I un-commented one of the lines in thumbnail.php and
tried the URL that was created. I get this error:
"ERROR: given image filename not found or bad filename given"
As I said though, I can still see the image has been saved as a
datastream in fedora.

I think this is a two-part problem - one with the 'versions' not being
created, and the other with the link not displaying in the web page.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Caroline

Matt,

Forgive my ignorance of PHP but can you elaborate on why Fez needs to have
an XML writer class? I would have expected this to be built-in to an XML
framework. One of the stregths of XML is that once data is in XML the XML
processing infrastructure should be able to handle encodings automatically
and to parse and serialize in a variety of formats.
