[Openinteract-help] installation woes

[Jon D. <jd...@nc...>]

  OpenInteract looks like it will be a great environment for a couple of sites
  I need to put together.

  I installed mod_perl 1.27 and had a ton of problems.  I switched to mod_perl
  1.26 and httpd will start now.  (Weird problems claiming that it couldn't
  find a module in a list of paths when the module was there.)  My system is
  FreeBSD 4.4 and apache 1.3.24, mod_perl 1.25 and perl 5.6.1.

  The problem I am having now, is that when I go to the site I have just set
  up I get a 500 Internal Server Error back. 

  The error log file in the OI directory shows:

  [Mon Jun 17 21:40:23 2002] [error] Can't locate object method "send_html"
  via package "Apache" (perhaps you forgot to load "Apache"?) at
  /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/OpenInteract.pm line 31.

  The server error log file has:

  OpenInteract::Error::Main::initialize (59) >> Initialized DEFAULT_HANDLER
  for app (SCinet::Stash) to (OpenInteract::Error::System)

  Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks,

Jon

Re: [Openinteract-help] even more installation problems

[Allen D. <all...@uc...>]

I think the problem is here:

OpenInteract::Session::DBI::_create_session (28) >> Trying to fetch session [c4d27f160f39f8564580debf2619324f]
OpenInteract::Auth::user (63) >> No uid found in session. Finding login info.
OpenInteract::Auth::user (72) >> Creating the not-logged-in user.
OpenInteract::Auth::group (256) >> No logged-in user found, not retrieving groups.
<snip>
>> Error: Cannot accomplish task due to security. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/OpenInteract/Error/System.pm line 295

Shouldn't a uid be found in that session after a successful login?  Would
it be in sessions.a_session?

Here are the contents of the cookie, if it helps:

session

Here is another superuser login and attempt to add a user, after closing
all browser windows:

Yeah, that's correct. Apache::Session::MySQL uses Storable to
freeze/thaw the session data, and Storable is a binary format.

I think that should be ok. I've tested OI/MySQL with 3.23.36 without
problems.

What versions are you using of the following?

 Apache
 mod_perl
 DBI
 DBD::mysql
 Apache::Session

It sets the hostname by calling:

    my $srv = $apr->server;
    $R->{server_name} = $srv->server_hostname;

And 'perldoc Apache' says:

    $s->server_hostname
           Returns the hostname used by this server.

So maybe you have the server or vhost name set incorrectly in your
Apache configuration? ('ServerName' should be the hostname,
'ServerAdmin' should be your email.)

Had you logged in previously? This isn't a complete request -- it would
be useful to see the snippet that you've logged in ok. It would look
something like:

This says that you've got a session without login infomration, which is
why you're getting the 'task forbidden' errors.

Try:

 - deleting the session from the table:

     delete from session where id ='a38ca239fbc176829e875e2c5d7fc3bb'

 - login using the login box

 - see if you get something like this toward the end of the request
where you login and/or create a new session:

Re: [Openinteract-help] even more installation problems

[Allen D. <all...@uc...>]

There were some sessions left in the sessions table.  I deleted them, but
still have the same problem.  The a_session field seems to have some
binary data in it.  It puts backspaces into the row display.  Is this
normal?

I'm using MySQL 3.23

Here is the content of a fresh error_log_modperl_solo logfile after trying
to log in as superuser and create a new user and a new template.  Why is
it setting hostname to either the admin or content email address?

First thing: see if any sessions were saved to the database. Just do a
'select id from sessions' in whatever database you're using. If not,
then something is screwy with your session setup. (What database are you
using, by the way?)

If there is at least one then the next thing is to view logging
information for a request. Set your DEBUG in server.ini to 1, stop and
restart the server then try to login and then request another page and
see if you find anything interesting in
$WEBSITE_DIR/logs/error_log_modperl. If nothing jumps out at you, snip
out these requests from the log and send it to the list.

Also, just get rid of the server.perl file. It's there for backward
compatibility.

[Openinteract-help] even more installation problems

[Allen D. <all...@uc...>]

Hi,

I just installed OpenInteract.  HTML/images are working fine.

Adding users works fine unless I set the passwords in the DB to be
unencrypted, in which case it leaves the password field blank in sys_user.
But this is no big deal.

The problem I'm stuck on is that as any user (including superuser), I am
unable to perform any actions.  Cannot change password, cannot change user
details, cannot create or change users/groups/templates/themes.
Everything gives a "Task is Forbidden" screen.

What is causing this?

OpenInteract doesn't really care about packages per-se. At server
startup it merges all the relevant information from all installed
packages into a single data structure provided by the configuration
object.

So the packages are really for us humans who have trouble keeping these
things separate. As a result, it's really up to you how you organize
them. A few rules of thumb off the top of my head:

 - If you find yourself updating templates/objects/actions/handlers in
two packages at the same time, they probably belong in one package

 - If you have more than five or six objects that are not tightly
related (dependent objects, etc.) in the same package, you might think
about splitting some functionality out into another package

 - Keeping the schema (struct/foo.sql) definition in the same package as
the object definition (conf/spops.perl) is a very good idea.

 - If you have non-object tables, what package are they most closely
related to? If the answer is more than 1, it's probably a good idea to
create a 'mycompany_common' package and put them there. Doing this is
also a good idea for common object behaviors, template plugins, site
widgets, etc.

Hope this helps,

Chris

[Openinteract-help] OI package and SPOPS objects structure

[Ben A. <be...@th...>]

I'm building a information and workflow system onto an existing relational
schema, which is fairly complex (around 25 tables), and which has three
types of user with different roles, but whose activities use and affect the
same tables.
I'm wondering the best approach to structuring the packages and objects?
I thought of making a package for each user's activities (there is very
little shared functionality), and making each table into a SPOPS object
(with any more complex activities handled explicitly with SQL) but then
which packages should the common tables belong to?
Could I make a separate 'schema' package which contains all the tables as
SPOPS objects?

any ideas gratefully received

Check the script:

for an example. It's actually really easy!

[Openinteract-help] using OI functions in perl scripts outside the webserver?

Hi,

I would like to write a script that I could cron that would read in a csv
file and create user accounts based on the contents.  I'd like to use OI
functions to ensure that security and whatnot gets set properly.  I've
looked at the way users are created within OI, but I don't see a way to get
$R outside the web server (as there is not a request, right?).  Is there
another way to call OI functionality without having a request to base if on?

Umm... check the mime_type of the page and see what it says.

This might be because your database handle timed out. Check the apache
(vhost, if you're running it) error log and see what it says. What
database are you using?

This is strange -- the fact that the 'error' message doesn't exist in
OpenInteract::Request means that the aliases weren't properly setup
during server startup. Do you see any messages in your server (versus
this virtualhost) error log?

Also: are you trying to run this under a different root directory? For
example, running everything under /oi/? I don't think this is supported
yet....

Some things to check:

1) Peek into the database and see if the page metadata was created:
     SELECT * FROM page where location = '/url/I/created.html'

2) Peek into the filesystem and see if the content was created:
     $WEBSITE_DIR/html/url/I/created.html

If neither is created, there should be a message in the error log.

If the first is created but not the second, it's likely a permissions
problem. Ensure the user the webserver runs has write access to the
'html/' directory and all subdirectories.

RE: [Openinteract-help] creating/testing pages....

[Mike M. <mme...@at...>]

I finally got OI installed and working properly in all regards(so I
think...)

Now I'm trying to get my head around its functionality.  I tried to
create a test page, and I was informed the page was created properly,
but then when I try to view/edit or do anything with the page, I am
brought to the Sorry: Not Found page.

Any tips on how to properly create pages/templates/locations and also,
what do I do about about this test page scenario?

Thanks,

Mike Melillo

Excellent news! I figured Postgres shouldn't present any problems --
that's the system I use for testinng, my website, intranet website, etc.

Well, the centralized configuration is very new, but you could say as of
two days ago it's the preferred method. I'll probably remove any mention
of the old 'change_spops_driver' from the README, docs, etc. for the
next version.

Unfortunately not. Scheduling conflicts -- summer vacation plans needed
more lead time than YAPC presented. Huge bummer for me, as it will be
the first YAPC::NA I haven't gone to.

OK, I've got the OI installed and the proxies setup. I've verified that the 
modperl server is receiving the requests. But I'm getting an error. Here is 
what is displayed in the browser:

Can't locate object method "error" via package "OpenInteract::Request" 
(perhaps you forgot to load "OpenInteract::Request"?) at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/OpenInteract/Request.pm line 124.

Below is what I see in the error log after turning on debugging. Ideas?

[Openinteract-help] Install problems solved

[Drew T. <dr...@dr...>]

Chris,

I just wanted to let you know that I got the initial install problems 
solved by just starting from scratch. I have to say I'm impressed w/ how 
easy it was - about 10 min total. Now I'm off to compile a proper server 
setup (just using a single heavy server at the moment due to now resolved 
lack of memory problems). I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again soon. :-)

BTW, what is the preferred, read fastest, solution for changing the SPOPS 
drivers? I actually have both ways implemented, so I was wondering which 
one was actually being used. Thanks again for SPOPS & OI. I'm looking 
forward to getting to know them. Any chance you're going to YAPC & giving a 
talk there about OI?

I can't seem to find that file at all, so I obviously screwed something up 
big. I'm going to create a new website and start over from scratch. 
Shouldn't take long since I have my notes.

This is almost certainly related to not having the correct SPOPS driver
specified in your object. One of the main things the SPOPS driver does
is ensure that automatic key generation works consistently from database
to database. If you have the wrong driver, then the ID will not be set
properly and you'll get an error like the one you got.

The easy way to tell: What does the file: 

  $WEBSITE_DIR/conf/base_error-1.42/conf/spops.perl

have in the 'isa' key?

The change_spops_driver command will replace a token beginning with
'SPOPS::DBI::' to the driver you specify. If you've replaced that driver
with something else, say 'DBD::Pg' (not that you did this, just an
example) then subsequent attempts will not work.

The 'change_spops_driver' will eventually be phased out in favor of the
centralized configuration option introduced in 1.40.

Yeah, this is a known thing. I've added more information on the
'db_name' parameter to OpenInteract::DBI. Thanks for the note.
