[phpesp-general] 406 Not Acceptable error on "Manage Groups" link

[Tom K <tk...@gm...>]

Excuss me if this is a double post, I've been working on this all
weekend. I have used Fantasitico to install phpESP and everything
works except for the "Manage Groups" link on the Management Interface.
This is the error I get when I click on it:

406 Not Acceptable Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource
/survey/admin/manage.php could not be found on this server.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.solveulearn.com Port 80

"Any" help apprectioned!

[phpesp-general] Need help with "Not Acceptable" Error

[Tom K <tk...@gm...>]

I have installed phpESP with "Fantastico" and everything works on the
Management Interface except for the "Manage Groups"

I get this error when I click on it:
____________________________________________________________________________

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource
/survey/admin/manage.php could not be found on this server.

Any clues why?????

[phpesp-general] Can't see Respondent & Designer accounts

[Tom K <tk...@gm...>]

I cannot see the Respondent & Designer account on the Management Interface menu.

To get it to work with my ISP,  I need to disable auth_design=false
int  the phpESP.ini.php file. Is this why the whole Management
Interface is not showing up?

Is there a fix?

Here is my tst.php  .... thanks for any help.

Re: [phpesp-general] Putting image on management page?

[Matthew G. <gr...@mu...>]

The name is set in phpESP.ini.php.
// Name of application
$ESPCONFIG['name'] = 'phpESP';

You can probably substitute a <img /> tag for the text.
head.inc is where it is included on each page.  You'll need to modify
that file as well.

I'm sure you'll get a more informed answer, but for now you need to look in
phpESP/admin/include/head.inc

There is a php command hard-coded to echo the contents of the 'name' variable
(phpESP by default) with spaces in between.

Just above this there is a paragraph commented out to produce either an image
associated with the 'banner' variable or the file phpESP.gif (which I believe
it looks for in the admin directory).

I don't know where the 'banner' variable is set, but if you copy your image to
phpESP.gif in the admin directory, modify the height and width, uncomment this
paragraph and comment out the other statement, you will get your logo in the
upper right corner.

I'm sure there is a cleaner method of doing this ..

The new version is supposed to support style sheets for the management
interface.

RE: [phpesp-general] Need a recomendation for service provider to run phpesp

I use www.opensourcehost.com

Great service - they'll install phpesp too (for free!). And it's a host
that's 100% behind open source software (checkout their demo site

On the management pages, I am trying to find where to change the
heading from the HTML   "p h p E S P"  to an image. Searched the

What file is this conigured under?

Re: [phpesp-general] Recomendation for service provider to run phpesp

[Brian W. <br...@be...>]

If you're looking for shared hosting that is cheap and reliable:

http://pixiehost.com/services.php?c=shared

$6.95/mo 600 MB
$9.95/mo 900 MB
etc.

I asked them to install things like perl modules and emacs and both 
times they did it (server wide) same day.

In 4 months I've seen the site be a little sluggish, so you might get 
better response times from another provider.

You get shell access to a Linux or BSD box, so phpESP would need to be 
installed manually.

I have run it at Dreamhost -- they are cheap, flexible, and offer easy 
setup of the mysql backend.  I am running a couple of instances of phpESP 
there for our institutional research needs off of their cheapest plan, but 
I also pay for a fixed IP address so I can run https.

<http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?ckolar>www<http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?ckolar>.dreamhost.com

If you go with them let me know if you need any tips for setup, but just 
walking through the install.txt worked for me.

Re: [phpesp-general] Setting up a private survey

[Matthew G. <gr...@mu...>]

That note relates to using ESP, "embedded" within another page.  You're
using the "auto publish" url.  You need to setup users/access and mark
the survey private within the management interface.

[phpesp-general] Recomendation for service provider to run phpesp

[Tom A. <arn...@gm...>]

Depends on what you need. If you just need it installed, and
occaisional updates as the package changes, you can find a hosting
company that allows very very easy installation with a tool called
Fantastico or something similar. Fantastico is designed to allow
installation of common web hosting packages with just a few clicks. It
takes care of what can otherwise be some confusing steps for
installation. I'm not saying that phpesp is particularly hard to
install by yourself, but if you're not comfortable with file
permissions, creating directories, creating databases and users, then
just about ANY PHP+MySQL package can be a bit daunting. Fantastico
makes that all really simple by taking care of the needed steps and
asking just a few questions.

One thing to check on though: just because a web host offers
Fantastico, does not mean that you will necessarily be able to install
phpesp with it. I think the ISP gets to choose which packages are
available for install via Fantastico, so be sure to ask.

Now, if you are looking for a service provider who offers specific
expertise in how to USE phpesp, that's a different level of support
altogether.

My ISP is called psek hosting (www.psek.com) and they offer
installation of phpesp via fantastico, but no specific support beyond
that. I'm happy with them.

[phpesp-general] Setting up a private survey

I get a message:"Note: You must use handler-prefix.php & handler.php
when using private surveys."

I can't seem to login when I set the survey to private:

I can't login ... so where do I set / or use handler-prefix.php & handler.php?

TIA

Re: [phpesp-general] Gettext Problem

If the server OS is Debian Linux there is a known problem (and solution) 
in the archives of this list (or was it the devel list).  I cannot 
remember the details, but it has to do with OS locale directories or 
something.

Hi,

I have not done anything, because i'm using a shared hosting environment.

But my phpinfo suggests that it should be there, or is there another 
gettext-alternative that might be running on my server?
[http://www.data-zone.de/info.php for the full phpinfo]

Maybe i should check the gettext-docu and ask my provider to get it fixed.

Thanks for the help anyway - if you got more ideas why it is not working

[phpesp-general] Same survey for large number of groups

[Lars J. <lj...@tm...>]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to give the same survey to a large number of 
groups? 

We'd like to try phpESP for student evaluations of instructors at our
college, and we are thinking about a scenario where we create a group
for each course, and upload the students in the course as respondents
belonging to the corresponding group. Creating the groups is not a
problem - they can by inserted in bulk into the the mysql database with
a textfile through the phpmyadmin interface. 

The question that remains is whether there is an easy way to associate
identical (activated) surveys with a large number of groups? 

Thanks for any responses.

Lars.

That warning will be removed when 1.7 releases.  I can't say 100% for
sure nothing will break with this release as every DB query has been
touched/changed to support ADODB.  We've been running it here for a few
months with little problems.  It would be a good idea to dump your mysql
phpESP DB before you install this release.

The disclaimer in its README is a little disconcerting.

****** IMPORTANT ******
This is a developmental release.  Do not use this on your production
phpESP database. We are now using ADODB and have made significant changes
to the database API which may cause unknown data corruption.  Please
create a fresh phpESP database instance and help us workout any remaining
bugs.

I only have one database at my ISP. All my tables
are in a single MySQL database. What is possiblity
phpESP-1.7-rc2.tar.gz can currupt the entire database
and render all the tables useless?

What can be done to backup MySQL before testing
phpESP-1.7-rc2.tar.gz?

Any clues appreciated. Thanks in advance.
