  All the files are in the /var/www/html directory

  I did a chmod 777 -R on the index, languages, media directories.

  I am using php5.0

  What portion of this do I use  <?php error_reporting(0); ?> ? All of it or
everything inside the < >, when I try to use all of at the beginning of the
file admin.php which is the one with the error and I save it it screws up
the format so it displays only text when you look at the page.  I am not
very familiar with the PHP language.

  do I put it as the very first line and then the 2nd starts with the <?php
or do I replace the <?php with the <?php error_reporting(0); ?> ??

  thanks
  Mike

  Are you sure that your index dir is writable?

    I have installed phpgedview and setup a MySql database which just has
the tables  in it and no data yet.  I was trying to upload the gedcom but it
errors out on me telling me that its too big.  The file is only 186kb large.
I have increased the maxupload size in the php.ini file to 25M.

    still not working.

    also on the main admin page I get this error at the top Notice:
Undefined variable: dir_array in /var/www/html/admin.php on line 59


    anyone have any suggestions.  Also I am not very skilled at Linux
(please be gentle lol)

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] Php-warnings: Only variables should be assigned by reference

[Peter B. (PhilaTel.Net) <pb...@ph...>]

Thank you very much, dear John, for the prompt message. I updated the error
reporting definition in include/session.php by

@ini_set('error_reporting', E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

and it work very well. I'm really enthusiastic by the powerful phpgedview
script set :-)

Subject: [Phpgedview-talk] Php-warnings: Only variables should be

After the installation of the phpgedview scripts on a t-online server,
there
is a series of php-warnings on each browser-page: "Only variables should
be
assigned by reference in ...".

The same warnings, when I uploaded a gedcom-file. It is viewed correctly
unless a lot of the mentioned warnings.

For the rest, the scripts seem to work correctly. The mysql database
seems
to be filled correctly, too.

What could be wrong that I get always these warnings?

Thank you for the message.
I had already found the solution. I had forgotten to change the 
available write protection on the media- and thumbs-directory.
Than it worked.

Hello PHPGedView user

On my web server I also have installed PhpGedView now and it works.

I would like to install another 2 GedCom-files for other families now.
Question (s) following to this:
1.      do all GedCom-files have to be put into the directory "index"?
2.      do all image files have to be put into the directory "media"?
3.      or one can make a directory structure for the different families =
and
how it then must look?
As subdirectories of PhPGedView
Family1
Family2
Family3
And where have then the image files to be put?

I would be very grateful for support

Josef

Re: [Phpgedview-talk] Google

[Daniel P. K. <da...@ki...>]

I have been indexed by Google for a long time, but in August my usage 
jumped to 4X normal.  It is good to be indexed--a 3rd cousin just found 
my site, and now she is helping out on that branch of the tree.

I looked at my usage by URL, and I was surprised to see that 64% of the 
hits are on phpGedView/calendar.php.  I am going to try the Disallow 
just on that URL.

It makes since it would get stuck on the calendar URL.  There is no end 
of dates to query for.

Actually, I went one step further and locked-out any access to my 
web root.  I do not allow any files, reads or writes either.  
Everything is placed into domain subdirectories.  The plus side was 
that it cut-down most 'hack' attempts.  I really don't care to be index 
by the search engines, so this works for me - I'm not commercial. 
I'll guess that placing a robot.txt file in my root will allow those 
search bots that play nice proper access, and the stripper bots/hot 
linkers nothing.

Actually, I think it maybe more of an index size war.  Notices how 
Yahoo and Google have really been publishing their index sizes 
here of late.  And with Microsoft now joining the fray, I think its only 
going to get worse.

I found that using robots.txt to partially block bots it quite effective 
at reducing traffic while still permitting your site to be indexed 
effectively.  

The trick is to find which files on the site are causing most traffic and 
block just those.  I also blocked all the charts.  My idea is that I want 
there to be at least one entry point to my site for each name and/or 
place in the database.

Here's the robots.txt (my phpGedView installation is in the directory 
"gedview"):

User-agent: *
Disallow: /gedview/media/
Disallow: /gedview/timeline.php
Disallow: /gedview/fanchart.php
Disallow: /gedview/pedigree.php
Disallow: /gedview/clippings.php
Disallow: /gedview/family.php
Disallow: /gedview/ancestry.php
Disallow: /gedview/descendancy.php
Disallow: /gedview/reportengine.php
Disallow: /gedview/hourglass.php
Disallow: /gedview/calendar.php
Disallow: /gedview/patriarchlist.php

Further tuning may be helped by this command which shows where the 
crawlers are makking most traffic.  "access_log" is name of the apache 
log file - run this command in the web log directory.  If you don't have 
an ssh login to your web host, copy the web log to youor local linux 
machine.  If you don't have a linux machine, install cygwin! 

grep Googlebot access_log \
  |grep gedview
  |awk -F\" '{ print $2 }' \
  |awk '-F[/?]' '{ print $3 }' \
  |sort | uniq -c

The "grep gedview" will need to be changed for your site to filter only 
the pages for phpGedView (if youo have other parts to your website).

The $3 on the fourth line of the command might need to be changed if your 
phpGedView install isn't in a sub-directory of the root of your web 
server.  Mine (/gedview) is a single subdirectory.  If yours is in a 
second level directory (e.g. /stuff/gedview) you need to change the $3 to 
$4.

The output looks something like this:
   1188 indilist.php
   1109 placelist.php
    527 individual.php
    337 aliveinyear.php
     73 repo.php
     16 repolist.php
      5 famlist.php
      4  HTTP
      1 relationship.php HTTP

Yes, and it happened only on my Phpgedview web site:

I blocked google totally from my server. I don't worry about showing up on
them because they will pick up our site from all the other web crawlers,
they are pounding them too.

Yeah, But much worse from inktomisearch
virtually all hits were from search engines

Put this in you robots text file and they are gone

[Phpgedview-talk] More than one GedCom

[<jgi...@t-...>]

Hello PHPGedView user

On my web server I also have installed PhpGedView now and it works.

I would like to install another 2 GedCom-files for other families now. 
Question (s) following to this:
1.	do all GedCom-files have to be put into the directory "index"?
2.	do all image files have to be put into the directory "media"?
3.	or one can make a directory structure for the different families and 
how it then must look?
As subdirectories of PhPGedView
Family1
Family2
Family3
And where have then the image files to be put?

I would be very grateful for support

Josef

This text comes from the first news item in the news block.=20

No, the date is part of the news item so there is not really a way to
exclude it without either removing the entire News block from your
welcome page, or deleting that news item.  You can perform these
functions by logging in as an admin and going to this page.  Then use
the "Customize this welcome page" link to add/remove blocks.  Or click
on the "Delete" link below the "Welcome to the HALL Family Tree" news
item.

Hello John,

Many thanks for your explanation. However, the lines below, extracted from
my page, do not make any sense as I do not use News Items (what are they?),
only update the one GEDCOM.:-

Is there a way I can exclude that 2nd. date?

Hi Rodney,

The date under the "Welcome to the HALL Family Tree" title is the date
the news item was saved.  PGV automatically creates that first generic
news item when you add a new Gedcom.  As you add more news items the
newer ones are listed on the top and the dates make more sense.
