Installed, but no workie.

[Karsten Elliott]

Greetings.

HW config: Slackware 9.1, MySQL 4.1.

I installed Node Runner, according to INSTALL instructions, created the DB, copied the PHP/HTML files to /var/www/htdocs/node-runner ,and all the prerequisites. The issue i'm having now is accessing index.php.

When I point my web browser at http://localhost/node-runner

I get immediately forwarded to recent-failures.php. no login page at all. Any ideas?

[Brad Fears]

It defaults to point to recent-failures as an index to the web interface.  If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to login, otherwise you will have all menu selections and access to the rest of the web interface.

Sorry, I should have explained this better.

I see the default to that page in my address box, but there is no login prompt at all. The browser is literally blank. White sheet. when I look at it, I think "gee i must have this installed correctly", but there must be something im missing

This is the node.start file part i modified:

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?
require ("etc/nr.inc");
if ($debug == 1) { $start_time = mktime(); }
switch (strtolower($dbtype)) {
    case ("mysql"):
      require ("etc/mysql.inc");
      break;
    /* //not implemented yet
    case ("postgresql"):
      require ("etc/postgresql.inc");
      break;
    case ("oracle8"):
      require ("etc/oracle8.inc");
      break;
    case ("msql"):
      require ("etc/msql.inc");
      break;
    case ("mssql"):
      require ("etc/mssql.inc");
      break;
    */ //not implemented yet
}

This is the nr.incfile parts ive changed:

(nr.inc)

<?
# Standard configuration file for Node Runner
# Should be stored somewhere safe

$nr_ver = "0.5.2";     # Node Runner version number
$dbtype = "mysql";     # database type (Currently only supports MySQL)
$dbhost = "daemon.metaphyzx.net"; # database host
$db = "noderunner";              # database name
$dbuser = "noderunner";          # database username
$dbpass = "noderunner";          # database password
$sender = "root";          # Email address to receive alerts from

Sorry I didn't respond sooner.  I'm supposed to be getting email notifications when someone posts to this forum, but obviously, that's not happening.

Anyway, the problem you are having with the web interface is completely independent of the node.start script.  You can almost think of them as two separate applications connecting to the same database.

Are you seeing any PHP errors when you try to bring up the web interface?  What version of PHP are you running?  Are you able to view the 'status-monitor.php' file in a browser?  That doesn't require any authorization...

I am having the same problem, and I can't see the 'status-monitor.php' file in a browser any help ???

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I have the same problem I am running Fedora Core 2 and the samething happens and I am unable to pull up the 'status-monitor.php' page.

Please help !!!

Yeah it seems that the new versions of mysql / php are not working well. samething happening here.

[Brad Fears]

PHP is working properly for other apps, though?  What version of php?  You might try setting the E_WARNING parameter in your php.ini to E_ALL so it displays something indicative of the problem.

I am using php version 4.3.8 php works fine for all the other apps I am running. I will try setting the E_WARNING parameter to E_ALL

For those having trouble with blank php pages; also double check that you have 'php-mysql' installed.

I just went through the headache trying to figure out what was wrong for a while, only to find that it wasn't installed like I thought.

After installing it and restarting the httpd service it worked like a charm.
