[Phpwiki-talk] Please help - binary gibberish in IE

[Kent H. <ke...@ho...>]

I'm not sure this is a phpwiki problem. I've installed phpwiki on on my 
Mac OSX 10.2.4, Apache2.0.44 . PHP/4.3.1. It works fine with Safari, 
IExplorer and Omniweb on a Mac. But Netscape 7 (Mac), and IExplorer 
(latest download) on Win2000 just spews binary gibberish. I'm at a 
complete loss. I'm using the nightly build of phpwiki from march 17.
Version 1.2.2 of phpwiki loads ok but I prefer to use the later version.
Kan anyone give me a hint as to what might be the problem. I checked 
php and it does not have the output-compression paramater turned on.

I think you're missing something.

You have to put the HTML within the plugin PI.  Try something
like:

<?plugin RawHtml
  <table>
  <tr><td>Your table here!</td></tr>
  </table>
?>

Whatever you put between "<?plugin RawHtml" and "?>" should get
output verbatim in the generated HTML.  PhpWiki doesn't try to
interpret or filter the content at all.

I'd suggest installing the current CVS version rather than 1.3.4.
A lot of buglets have been fixed since the release of 1.3.4.
For CVS access instructions, see:
   http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=6121
Or you can use the nightly CVS snapshot which is at:
   http://phpwiki.sf.net/nightly/phpwiki.nightly.tar.gz


I think that will fix some/most/all of the warnings.
(If not, please report back, of course.)

(Note to Steve & the rest of the developers:
  Perhaps it's time for 1.3.5?  Not that we've reached any real
milestones,
  but a lot of buglets have been fixed since the release of 1.3.4.)

Does it look like this? http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/test/

I think that's a "feature".  You don't need the login button.  Just type
your user-name into the text box and hit return.  (If you view the page
with a non-javascript enabled browser, you should still see a login
button.)

(If you want the button back you can change this by editing
themes/default/templates/signin.tmpl.)

> and all the URL links look like this:
>

That's a feature-gone-bad.  When PHP is run as an apache module, it's
possible
to use URLs like that.  (Many people, myself included prefer that style
URL.)

When PHP is run as a stand-alone CGI interpreter, it is not possible to
use
that style of URL.  Normally PhpWiki auto-detects those cases and does the
right thing --- someone (most probably me) must have broken that
auto-detection somehow.

If you edit index.php and uncomment the line which says:

  if (!defined('USE_PATH_INFO')) define('USE_PATH_INFO', false);

that will fix that.



It would be useful for me (to help fix the auto-detection for
USE_PATH_INFO)
if you could create a public phpinfo page, and send me the URL to it.

(A phpinfo page, is a php script containing the one line:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

When browsed to, it should show a large spewage of information about
how PHP in configured, etc...)

Not at the same time and I'm certain it's not on the same pages if
there are.  The problem isn't isolated to edits though, which is the odd thing.

For the most part, this is a pretty vanilla install.

I can send you the bread-crumb links module I wrote (planning to
anyways once I get it commented some) and you can see if that will
help you recreate it, but I'm 99.9% certain that's not the problem.

I've run it on mysql and on postgre and not had these
problems in the past.

Any ideas?

Hello Jeff,

I've downloaded and installed the "nightly tarball". The errors I had 
encountered before are truely gone. But now I am getting NO login button 
and all the URL links look like this:

http://www.pcs-sc.com/phpwiki/index.php/HomePage

Note the forward slash and no "?". Once I delete the "/" and insert the 
"?" the page displays normally. I get the same behaviour whether I use 
the dbm or mysql method for the site.

Getting closer, just a little bit more to be up and running, thanks for 
the help...

I kind of doubt it's a memory problem (but then again I really have no
idea.)

How have you "tuned up" the database?
Can you back-out of the tune-ups, and if so, does the problem go away?
Are there concurrent PhpWiki acesses (edits?) going on when you get the
errors?

PhpWiki version 1.3.<what>?
What version of postgres?

Any other hints regarding how I might be able to replicate the problem
here?

Hi Gil,

I think these are fixed in CVS,  here are links to the specific changes:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpwiki/phpwiki/lib/config.php.diff?r1=1.70&r2=1.71

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpwiki/phpwiki/lib/config.php.diff?r1=1.71&r2=1.72


If you're just installing PhpWiki now, you might consider using
the latest CVS version instead of 1.3.4.  There have been a number
of bug fixes made.

There's a nightly CVS snapshot available at:
  http://phpwiki.sf.net/nightly/phpwiki.nightly.tar.gz

[Phpwiki-talk] PHP Warnings after Installation...

[Gil P. <gp...@gi...>]

Good Evening,

I've just installed phpwiki on my web server at 
http://www.pcs-sc.com/wiki/ and am getting the following "PHP Warnings" 
on the foot of each page. Using version 1.3.4 by the way...

lib/config.php:276: Notice[8]: Undefined variable: SCRIPT_NAME

lib/config.php:401: Notice[8]: Undefined index: dsn

Are there any fixes for these? Also, is there any way to have these 
warnings directed to a log file and not on the visible pages?

BTW, the archives are a little hard to search, but I tried to go back a 
to December and didn't find these errors addressed.

Also:

PHP=4.2.2
OS=Redhat 8.0
DB=DBA

Thanks,

[Phpwiki-talk] recursive include (SiteMapInclude) - even by Category?

[Micki K. <mic...@co...>]

Hi folks. A followup...

would also love the ability to filter by CategoryName... as I 
understand it, the ability to filter a SiteMap by CategoryName and 
IncludePage as an option (perhaps even to a certain recursion depth) 
would be tremendously flexible as a multi-indexing doc system.

Please accept any naivete, and any culture points i may be missing... 
I look forward to your learned ideas and opinions!

[Phpwiki-talk] recursive include (UnfoldSiteMap)

[Micki K. <mic...@co...>]

Hi there!

Love phpwiki. Using UnfoldSubpages but hate having to declare each 
subpage manually. Love BackLinks, and SiteMap... why not combine em?

In order to use it for our 'dynamic as we wanna be' documentation 
effort, we need to be able to explode the indented 'SiteMap' 
recursive backlinks and display the content in one long appended 
page...

Anyone with any hints, or any interest in working with me to achieve 
this? Thanks.

Hello All,

I'm getting some odd errors on about every 10th click.

Has anyone seen this perhaps and knows how to fix it?  I've tuned the

dedicated memory or something like that?

yes.

do you mean HTTP_AUTH (already logged in in some http realm) or simplier 
file_auth?

HTTP_AUTH is to my knowledge already supported, file_auth via a htpasswd 
alike soon. I have to finish the class layout for the various UserAuth

[Phpwiki-talk] Login in v1.3.3

[Sandy M. <mat...@bt...>]

I am using v1.3.3 of PhpWiki.
 
I would like:
a. The WIKI to be closed to the general public so that you must login
with username and password to edit it
b. I would like to be able to differentiate between users who edit the
WIKI.
 
I have set the admin user and admin password in index.php and I am
looking at 'ALLOW_BOGO_LOGIN' and 'REQUIRE_SIGNIN_BEFORE_EDIT'. Is there
a combination of these that would achieve what I am after? Or have I
missed something else?

Thank you! There is my mistake - "defined" instead of "!defined".

Next issue. I'm using PhpWiki under Windows 2000 more than year,
and in each PhpWiki version I'm forced to change the default
date/time format, because defaults
  $Theme->setDateFormat("%A, %B %e, %Y");
  $Theme->setTimeFormat("%l:%M:%S %p");
not working under Windows:
%e not prints day of month, and %l prints nothing (%l is not
documented in PHP at all). So, date/time show like this:

There's two (relatively) easy ways I can think of to do that:

1. Use apache's mod_rewrite.  If possible, that's probably the best
solution.
   (Intercept request for /path/to/wiki/HomePage and internally redirect
   them to /other/path/realHomePage.html.)

2. Use PhpWiki's RedirectTo plugin on the wiki HomePage to redirect
   to your other home page.

Both methods are slightly hackish.  #1 is more efficient, less likely
to cause trouble with funky browsers, but a bit trickier to set up.
(and you can't do it unless you run Apache and have access to
mod_rewrite.)


It's kind of non-wiki to do that though.  Wiki-links should link to wiki
pages.  You can always link to non-wiki pages using standard external
links.

Yes, but your server really ought to be able to tell it's CGI programs
how to form a complete URL to themselves.  If you're using apache
this should be possible, though I'm unsure of the details.  Probably
it involves setting up multiple virtual hosts with (slightly) different
configuration, depending on what ethernet interface the request is
coming from.

Another common solution to your problem, is to use separate internal
and external DNS nameservers, so you can have the same host name resolve
to different IP numbers depending on whether you're on your internal
network or the external internet.  (Since it's the same machine,
it should have the same name.)

> For example, my web pages include links such as 
> "/images/mycoolpic.gif".

Yes.  That's a fine solution.  Getting PhpWiki to do that would take
a bit of work, but you could try.  (It may be as simple as editing
lib/config.php so that SERVER_URL gets defined to the empty string.
You could try that --- I'm not sure it will work, and it probably
will break something (e.g. RSS RecentChanges).)


As a hack, you could try setting SERVER_NAME from $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
(in index.php, that is).
That picks up the host name from the Host: HTTP header sent by most
modern browsers.  (The Host: header is required by HTTP/1.1.)  It may
not work with a few rather old browsers.

Something like:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))
    define('SERVER_NAME', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
else
    define('SERVER_NAME', 'pick.one.com'); // punt and hope you guess
right.

[Phpwiki-talk] How do you change HomePage to point to another Home Page?

[Alexander D. <me...@ea...>]

I would like to have an html home page that is locked and has a

If I do this, how do I have links like HomePage or [Home Page]

Thanks in advance for your help.

Probably not. If your site works fine as
http://192.168.0.1/phpwiki/nameofmywikipage then your webserver (which I
assume is Apache) can connect to the database just fine. It shouldn't be
affected by where the page request comes from.

Assuming you're using Apache, look for a line like 

  ServerName localhost.local

in httpd.conf. Change that line to your hostname

  ServerName www.example.com

and make sure that www.example.com resolves in DNS (test with dig or
nslookup) and in your /etc/hosts file.

This looks like a nameservice/webserver configuration problem, not a
problem with phpwiki.
