[Ids-devel] ids bug?

[L3ECH <l3...@l3...>]

i'm running ids-0.82 on linux debian unstable.
i'm having a problem with ids' search feature. it doesn't work at all. the error message i get is:

Software error:
Can't use string ("1") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/File/Find.pm line 1025.

i don't know if it's an ids bug, a perl bug, or both. i believe it's probably because i running perl 5.8.0 (which isn't said to be supported by ids), but i'm a lousy perl coder, and i don't really understand how all these stuff work, so basically, i'm asking if there's a quick solution for this problem.
i've "googled" on the subject, and i couldn't find anything except for forums with similar questions and no answers.
any input would be greatly appreciated.

[Ids-devel] File Date Info Cache

[Robin * S. <pre...@pa...>]

Hello,

IDS had severe performance problems for me.  I have directories of
500-2000 photos now that big compact flash cards are cheap.

Up to 9 seconds to load a page, down to less than 2 seconds with this
mod.  The idea is to cache the time info in album-data directory.

basically I changed

fillDateHash()

To find out if the data is already in %mtime, if it is not, then read
the cache, if it is still not there, check the file via the old means.

After rendering the page, then it writes all the data in %mtime out to
album-data/ALBUMNAME/time-cache.txt

The problem was that before this change, the date info was re-calculated
for every page view for all files in an album.  This made large albums
very very slow to view.

I added 3 new functions to do this.

getMtimeCacheName() given a file return the name of its cache.
readMtimeCache() fill mtime from a file.
writeMtimeCache() given the hash write it out to a file(s)

[Rick P. <ric...@ho...>]

Barry,

That is a great find.  I didn't notice that earlier (always seem to overlook 
the little stuff).  Let me check that on my end.

Thanks for the input.  Any other ideas are welcome with open arms!

Thanks,
Rick

[Ids-devel] Re: Images not showing

[<sw...@cy...>]

Rick,

I saw a problem like this in our installation and I wonder if you don't have a similar cause.

Using "View Source" to look at the html that ids produces for your site, I see that your image references have this format:
 img src="album-data/./Sample%20Album/Black2.album_icon.png"

I'm concerned about the /./ in the middle of the path, not because it's invalid, but because I think it may confuse the Apache configuration parser.  The Location directives where you place the Sethandler directives need to match the path to your images.  I don't know if this /./ will cause problems there or not.

Hope this helps.

Barry

Re: [Ids-devel] Now What?

[Rick P. <ric...@sa...>]

Piete/Ashley,

I read both of your e-mails and I can add a little more to the
discussion.

I can not, due to security reasons, execute a .cgi (or any other
executable file) outside of my .cgi-bin.  So that means that I can't
move the entire app outside of .cgi directory and use it.

From what I understand IDS must be executed as a "package".  Meaning all
files must reside in one parent directory called "IDS" or what ever.

So that leads me to ask the following questions that hopefully you guys
can answer:

 - Can the IDS application package be split apart, easily, so that only
the necessary executable files are located in the .cgi directory?
Furthermore, can this be done without manually editing the various .cgi
files?

 - If I am able to "split" the application apart, which files would need
to remain in the .cgi directory?  Just .cgi files or are there other
files config files, etc..  that would need to stay?

I am curious how most others get this thing up and running?  Do they
have problems similar to mine?  I am sure that the vast majority of IDS
users are running the app in a shared web hosting environment that is
similar to mine.

As far as the "HowTo" you spoke of.... I would be willing to do the
HowTo Installation Documentation after I get this thing up and running.

I might be a good candidate because of all of the issues that I have
been having with my shared hosting environment.  Also, if you are
interested... I would be willing to host an IDS forum on my message
board so that issues can be more easily discussed.  I have just gotten
the thing up and running and it is in great shape.  It is a phpBB board
with lots of cool options.  There are no posts to the board yet because
I haven't linked it to my site yet.  You can go to
http://www.ricknlisa.com/boards/ and have a look if you want.

Have a great day and thanks for all of the help you guys have been
providing.

Thanks,
Rick

I think you misunderstood my post.  (or maybe i did a bad job of 'splaining
myself)

Yes, of course, that's how it's supposed to be run.  (IDS isn't supposed to run
in the cgi-bin directory) 

...but Rick has his installation of ids running from his cgi-bin directory. 

Look at the original URL in the original message asking for help. 

> I can get IDS to run.  You can go to 
> http://www.ricknlisa.com/cgi-bin/ids/index.cgi and have a look.
                           ^^^^^^^^
> Problem is that I I can get absolutely no images to display in the program.
> This includes template images, album images, or icon images.

If you go to his webpage, you'll find the page loads. 
If you look at the source of the HTML output, specifically the part of the
source that tries to display the ids-logo, here's the snip: 

<img src="themes/Black2/images/ids-logo.gif" width="62" height="62">

That img src is a relative link. Here's what it is expanded:
http://www.ricknlisa.com/cgi-bin/ids/themes/Black2/images/ids-logo.gif

If you attempt to go to that page, you'll find that it's an Internal Server
Error page (500)  The ids-logo.gif file is in that location, and the directory
hierarchy above it must exist. (or we would have gotten a 404 error)  But the
server's ScriptAlias statement for the cgi-bin directory tells the web server
to attempt to execute it, instead of display it. 

Rick's solution is to get the ids stuff out of the cgi-bin directory, and add
some entries like what's in your httpd.conf 

> # cat /etc/httpd/conf/conf.photos.yeehaw.net
>  DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/photos.yeehaw.net/htdocs
>  <Directory /var/www/vhosts/photos.yeehaw.net/htdocs>
>   Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
>   AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
>  </Directory>

    No there aren't - but that's also because I don't run IDS from any 
cgi-bin.  I run IDS from a regular, non-cgi-bin location on my (Apache) 
server.  And since Apache knows to execute anything that has .cgi on it, 
it'll only worry about those, nothing else.

# cat /etc/httpd/conf/conf.photos.yeehaw.net
 DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/photos.yeehaw.net/htdocs
 <Directory /var/www/vhosts/photos.yeehaw.net/htdocs>
  Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
  AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
 </Directory> 

# cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[ ... snip ... ]
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.cgi
</IfModule>

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
[ ... snip .. ]


    Notice that my cgi-bin has nothing to do with my IDS installation. 
 And IDS is not in any cgi-bin location, it's being run as a simple 
vhost, with provisions to allow .cgi files to be executed, rather than 
read in as any other .html or .jpg file(s).

    Someone should document this and write a Setup Howto - we don't 
really have one.  I and still haven't setup CVS..urgh, what's wrong with 
me.  Sorry, I'll get to it.

Re: [Ids-devel] Now What?

[Piet B. <pie...@ya...>]

It has to be because the program is being run from the cgi-bin directory, and
not from a regular directory. 

when the ids program lives in the cgi-bin directory, all of the files get
treated as programs, and not as images. While this is ok for the index.cgi
program, it's not so OK for the images that live in the same directory
structure. 

so when the HTML pages from IDS show an <img> tag, it will direct the web
browser to attempt to fetch an image from, for example...
"http://ricknlisa.com/cgi-bin/ids/albums/pictures1/me.jpg"

The webserver will say, "Hey! This is something in the cgi-bin directory! I
have a configuration that says everything in cgi-bin is a program. Therefore
There's a program I need to go run.  Let's go find
.../cgi-bin/ids/albums/pictures1/me.jpg and try to execute it!"

Then it will attempt to execute the me.jpg program. 
Which isn't a program at all, it's a jpeg image file. 

Which is why none of the pictures show on your page. 
I bet there are a whole lot of 500 Internal Server errors in your web server
error logs.

Re: [Ids-devel] Now What?

[Bruno T. <ba...@is...>]

Hi there, 

This seems more like a http server issue... 
what are you using apache? iis?. Either way check if the locations where
you have the images are configured to show them as images and not as
cgi's.

[Ids-devel] Time for ids2?

[Jeff M. <jef...@vi...>]

As I was trying to make ids easier to install by including all CPAN
modules in the distribution I asked myself, 'why not just start ids2'. I
believe there was talk of making it more modular with perl modules. I'm
willing to start the ball rolling. I'm assuming that ids2 will be CGI
based and written in perl. Off the top of my head I can think of the
following modules:

ACL	- access control list - keys off of REMOTE_USER from environment
Photo	- handles all image manipulation
Album	- handles groups of photos
Template- handles page layout

Any comments?

[Ids-devel] Installation Help?

[Rick P. <ric...@ho...>]

Hi everyone,

I came across IDS last week and I am very excited about it.

Problem is that I have been having some really strange installation issues 
and I would like to know if there is Message Board somewhere for this 
project where I could get some help?

If not, would anyone be interested in helping me work through my issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have used all the intelligence 
that god gave me and I haven't gotten very far.

Thanks,
Rick

    I will give you that, ImageMagick is probably one of the
hardest-to-install libraries I have ever worked with.  But it's primarily
due to patent issues with some of the image manipulation libraries that it
uses and the fact that they can't distribute everything as one big package
as a result.

My motivation is that every time I've tried to install the ImageMagick
CPAN modules, they don't match whatever version of ImageMagick I have on
the system. So there are two options:

1) Install ImageMagick C lib and perl modules from same tarball
2) use something else (Imager)

Imager is self contained (except for libpng, etc libs which I believe
ImageMagick uses too) and seems to have less dependency problems.

ImageMagick seems bigger. I'm just going by tar file sizes:

-rw-rw-r--    1 jeff     jeff         4.1M Feb  3 10:39 ImageMagick-5.5.4-4=
.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r--    1 jeff     jeff         511K Apr 12  2002 Imager-0.41.tar.gz

So the problem I'm trying to solve is to simplify the system during
installation and to make the code 'self hosting' minus the standard perl
and apache installation.

Re: [Ids-devel] Replace ImageMagick with Imager?

[Jeff D. <je...@ba...>]

    Image::Magick's internals are in C, Image::Magick is a wrapper for th=
e
ImageMagick library.  I would guarantee that switching to another library
will not improve IDS performance.  Image::Magick is not a large library,
either.  The base perl memory footprint is 15 megs, how much memory does =
IDS
use above that (excluding memory used when manipulating images)?
    It is not necessary to create thumbnails or resize images on-the-fly.
This can be done as an offline process, at your leisure.  Before ripping =
the
image manpulation library out of IDS and replacing it with something else=
,
it would make the most sense to first discuss what exactly the problem yo=
u
are attempting to solve is.

Looks good, has all the features that Image::Magick has and the
internals are in c. I supose it will be faster (in theory of course).

If it results in IDS being faster, I'm all for it.

Re: [Ids-devel] Replace ImageMagick with Imager?

[Jeff M. <jef...@vi...>]

http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~addi/perl/Imager/

IDS uses ImageMagick for thumbnails and resizing. Imager is another perl
module that can do similar things but is mostly self contained.

Re: [Ids-devel] perl module indepedence

I fully agree.  I'm often frustrated when trying to build a package when
I find several layers of dependencies, especially when version
incompatibilities have crept in.  I recall this having happened with
libtiff and libjpeg over the years.  If IDS is going to be developed, I
would be pleased to see a known full compatible of modules included.
