phpgedview-talk — For installation, help, bugs, and suggestions for phpgedview

[Phpgedview-talk] not according to docs...???

[Laura E. <le...@ca...>]

Hi all -- I'm sorry for being a pest on the list, but I'm still not getting 
the behavior that readme.txt seems to be specifying.  I successfully 
configured the system in www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/ and clicked the continue 
button, and that took me to a page where I created the administrator login 
successfully, plus another login for the person who will be using this site. 
I then clicked on another continue button but keep going back to a login 
page.  It says "you are logged in as adminelf" at the top but still prompts 
for a login. There is a list or combo box that says "favorites" but there is 
nothing else in the list.  There are links for help (which I can't get to 
work), logging out, and I can't remember what else, but no matter what I do 
I keep coming back to that login page.

Nowhere do I find anything that says gedcom, or import or whatever the 
readme talks abaout.

What am I doing wrong?
This looks like it should be straightforward.  I have looked through the 
themes and am excited to adapt them the way I want, as I have graphics and 
stylesheets that I think would work well. But I'm still stuck on the initial 
configuration.

Getting impatient.  Where is the help file located? There is no folder on 
the top level anyway that says documentation or help or anything. Perhaps 
under languages?

Thanks in advance for any pointers, and again please excuse the barrage of 
questions.  Despite the problems I look forward to using this software.

The instruction you are thinking of is:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

inserted in the Head part of your html pages.

You could also try creating a robots.txt file containing just the following:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

This file goes in your documentroot.

Of course, this being the Internet there is no guarantee that spiders 
will obey your requests, but I assume the site is password protected 
anyway :).

The robots.txt file seems to work for me---Google at least doesn't index 
my site.

[Phpgedview-talk] another SOS

[Laura E. <le...@ca...>]

Hi all -- I'm back at it again. I did as suggested and reinitialized 
config.php, dropped and redefined the database, ran the file at 
www.eavesfamily.org/pgv / which invoked the screen to configure the 
software, entered all the relevant info, and it almost worked except for 
some seemingly simple problems:

First, I can't get the help tabs to work. I click on them, with my popup 
blocker turned off, and all I get is a click from IE7 and no help.

I went back and reread the readme section on installation and discovered the 
following:
There is no doc about the 2 directory names it asks for in the configuration 
that specify the login and session saving directories.  I left those blank 
before and got failure.  So this time I put them at
    http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/login and
    http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/session

And of courswe I created these directories. Should I have put them outside 
the public user space, like the index dir? Shouldn't the perms be set to 777 
like index?

As I said, no docs. I have tried this several times and it keeps failing on 
the step after I create the admin login and password.

Pleaase help if you can. I'd much appreciate it. I wanted my family to check 
out the themes but I can't get past the configuration.

Oh and as for the index directory, I put it in 
/home/mymainadminname/pgv/index
which I created outside the public_html as directed to do. I assume this 
should work -- and I did chmod the perms to 777 on index and the files in 
it.

TIA for any directions! Am I missing something with the online help?  It 
seems like it should work.
Thanx

Is your linux computer on a private network?  I.e. is it connected directly
to the internet or is it behind a router?  Because if it is on a private
network not on the public internet, no one from the internet will be able to
access it.

[Phpgedview-talk] Hiding PGV from spiders

[Jane C. <sta...@gm...>]

I am using phpgedview as a way of sharing my genealogy data between my Linux
computer and my Windows laptop.  At this time I'd like to keep my web site
and its data absolutely private--accessible only by me.  I know there are
various ways to restrict the data after an outside user has found the
website, but I'd prefer to block spiders from indexing it.  Is there any way
to do this in the config settings? There used to be an html setting "no
follow" or something like that which I've used in the past and it seemed to
work, but do I have access to the raw html for phpgedview?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] more on login problem

[peter <pet...@hc...>]

Laura for your information,

http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/w this brings me to
http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/login.php?url=editgedcoms.php
so there is something to do in your config, so John already said start a
 new config.

Note the editgedcoms.php pointed to the gedcom file and privacy!

Make not to much changes the first configuration start, keep it simple.

Make a logbook of every step your make a change, and a second admin name
for backup.

I have also the indexmap outside and use the next addressing,
../../mapa/mapb/ for indexmap

and for the gedcomfile the same
../../mapa/mapb/gedcom.ged

One time I have todo a recovering of the database at the providersite
with the tools of the provider.

You shouldn't have to blow away the entire source tree yet.

Things to try first:
1. Start with a fresh config.php.  Just upload a new config.php file
which will blow away all of your settings and ask you to reconfigure the
site.

2. Drop your database and start with a fresh config.php.  This will drop
all of your existing settings and the user you already created.

Hi all --
I am preparing to blow away my entire source tree and reinstall
phpgedview,
but before I do this, please if you have comments on the following, I'd
like
to hear them:

1) I installed the tree in http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/
2) I put the index folder outside public_html in a local directory
3) I pointed my browser at www.eavesfamily.org/pgv / and filled in the
initial config details.
4) Everything worked and the install code said I had succeeded in
configuring the software.
5) I created an administrator account and password which also worked. To

test it, I exited and logged in.
6) I left it sitting for a couple of weeks and now I can't log in -- I
get
that 404 error
The address line on the 404 error page is
http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/w

Questions: Is there a way to avoid uploading the entire source tree
again?
I.e., what files are changed by the configuration?
What do I need to blow away? Do I need to delete all the tables from the

database? Or will the configuration just ignore what was there before?

Any help appreciated.
I really want this to work.
TIA

Hi Laura,

=20

You also need to check the "LOGIN_URL" property.  The LOGIN_URL should
be blank or it needs to be the full path to the file you want to use to
handle logins (http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/login.php)=20

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] debugging this thing

[peter <pet...@hc...>]

I missing the 404 error message, when your adressing is right then is it
difficult to find at that way, try to try and nothing happened.
Faster is to do a new second install of pgv, and try step to step the
results, after bringing over the configurations from the first
installation.
Do not bring over all the configuration changes in one time. The rule is
 not more changes to need to run, otherwise you meet murphy.

[peter <pet...@hc...>]

I checked it out at my testpgv, and you get this logon when you had
changed the value in the configuration file of manage gedcoms en edit
privacy adjustments. Option - access&privacy - require visitor
authentication - to set on yes. The you get directly the logon screen.
May be it's possible also with the privacy file there you will also make
privacy adjustments but difficult to test.

[Phpgedview-talk] debugging this thing

[Laura E. <le...@ca...>]

Hi all --
I have been trying to plant print statements in the body of index.php but so 
far it has not yielded any output.
Is there an easier way to debug this thing? I am getting close to my 
absolute deadline to show this stuff -- the convention is the first week in 
August -- Since phpgedview is so far along compared to what I was working on 
before, I figured it would be an easy matter to install and use it, but I am 
running into a brick wall trying to get my administrator login to work.
It seems like it did work at one point.  I don't know why it is not working 
now.  I was going to log on as administrator and create other usernames to 
collaborate in the database, but I am still getting that stupid 404 error.
Any ideas are very much appreciated.  I hate to spend the night planting 
prints all over only to find there is a simple problem in my configuration. 
I followed the instructions to the letter.

Thanx in advance for any help!!!

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] help! -- missing something...

[Laura E. <le...@ca...>]

I tried that--the link in config.php is correct:

server_url is set to http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv/

The annoying thing is that I don't know what link it is trying to =
connect to.

Any other ideas are most gratefully welcome.
TIA

  Laura,

  Check your config.php file for $SERVER_URL.  I think it needs to be a =
full url, i.e, "http://www.eavesfamily.org/pgv".  Is it possible that =
you missed "http://" part?=20

  Good luck

Hello all --
I successfully uploaded and configured phpgedview on my site and created an 
administrator user, (that was a couple of weeks ago) but now when I go to

www.eavesfamily.org/pgv

which is where the phpgedview package is installed, I get a login screen and 
when I try logging in, it gives me a 404 page not found error.

What could be the problem??? Please if anyone has an idea, feel free to pass

[Phpgedview-talk] default settings?

[Bin Z. <bzh...@gm...>]

I would like to change some default settings for new users and new gedcom
files.  Where do I make the changes?


Thanks
Bin

[Phpgedview-talk] GEDCOM download

[Bin Z. <bzh...@gm...>]

We recently moved our site to a new server.  The new server is php5, mysql5
with apache2.  Everything seems to be working properly, except when
downloading a gedcom file that has Chinese text (I assume it's the same for
other non-roman languages), the downloaded file is not readable by a text
editor.  The text becomes gibberish.  Text editor does not recognize the
file as in UTF-8.  If I drag the file to a browser window, it displays
fine.  I didn't have this problem on the older server.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
bin

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] error

[John F. <Joh...@ne...>]

Hi Laura,

This error basically means that PGV/PHP was not able to connect to your
database with the username and password that you provided.  Double check
that you entered the correct username and password to connect to your
database.

These values are stored in the config.php file.

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] error

[peter <pet...@hc...>]

1. In the file phpgedview/config.php you can find your latest/official
parameters which are used.

2. At your localhost you can try with root as the user and no password
for dbase connection, to find out if that's working.

3. The windows environment is more specific with the authorisations for
users.

4. You can use phpmyadmin as a tool for mysql database administration.

[Phpgedview-talk] error

[Laura E. <le...@ca...>]

Hi all --
I followed the instructions in readme.txt and did the following: uploaded 
source tree to public_html/pgv on my server, moved the index folder outside 
public_html and made its permissions 777 (writable), changed permissions of 
public_html/pgv/config.php to 777, ran the index.php which called 
editconfig.php and filled in the locations of tings plus name of database 
that I had created along with the default administrator for that database 
and password, filled in other fields as specified and clicked the submit 
button.

I got the following:

Your current database configuration is bad. Please check your database 
connection parameters and configure again.
DB Error: connect failed [nativecode=Access denied for user: 
'EavesElf@localhost' (Using password: YES)] ** Array
Configure PhpGedView

Honestly I don't know what I did wrong -- I have checked and doublechecked 
the data.

Can somebody please make a suggestion what I can do to get past this?

Thank you much in advance!

Hello all --
question again: does pgv 4.0.2 require php5 as it says in one place in =
the
readme? or is 4.3 or higher the required version of php, as stated =
elsewhere
in the readme?

I have decided to install things assuming the latter.

I uploaded the entire source tree of pgv to my server/public_html/pgv, =
moved
the index folder outside public_html, and edited config.php as best I =
could.
I also changed the permissions as specified in the readme and uploaded =
my
gedcom and put it in the index folder.

But when I go try to run config.php I get a server error.

What am I doing wrong?
Is it necessary to put phpgedview files immediately under public_html? =
or is
it ok to do as I did (see above) and put the source tree under pgv?

Back to the drawing board.
Please if anyone sees a problem in the above and can correct my
misunderstanding of things, feel free to enlighten me.
Thanks much in advance!

[peter <pet...@hc...>]

Login-URL means that an other websitepage is need for login, normally
not, example when using the secure protocol https or integrating in an
other website.

When you select help you can activate the context help, last item,
that's a question mark-icon in front of all the questions.

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] current state

Hello,

There is no need to install php 5 or higher with pgv 4.02.
I running my own backup-server with php 4.3.10 and mysql 4.1.10a and pgv
4.02 with the server apache 2.0.53 at suse 9.3.

My provider was upgrade to a higher leven and we gets a couple of months
 problems with mysql that makes the troubles.

For the installation there is a need to have a writable config.php
during the installation in the same place al your files! After you
finished the configuration you decide where it replaced in a other safe
location.

When you can choose the serverplatform, take linux its very easy for
everyone! After install linux you are ready for work to do with the
server. Its running by me at an old pc with a 500mhz processor.
