PerlStalker's Server Software Manager / News: Recent posts

I found a nasty bug in the session handling code in psserverswman_handler.pl. The program was not properly initializing the session id so a user would inherit the session id of the previous user to log in. I checked the fixed version into CVS this afternoon. All users are ecouraged to update.

It's been a long time since I've worked on psServerSWMan. I'm back actively developing again. I should be able to keep on it this time. :-)

I've decided to change template systems from Text::Template to HTML::Mason. Mason allows me to do some things (persistant DB connections) that were not as easy with Text::Template.

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome four new members to the project.

memphisto is our new web designer. He'll be working on a site for the project.

summersean, wizm and clebson are our new coders. We're still getting organized but look for more updates soon.

I need help! (No, not that kind. ;) ) I'm looking for developers and web designers. Check out the job postings at http://sourceforge.net/people/?group_id=21767 for more information and stuff.

Check it out. I would like to get your input on the project as it stands now and ideas for what you would like to see. (I know you want the Server/Software part. :-) I'm working on it.)

I finally had some time to add the session timeout feature. You can grab the updates from CVS or download it from SF.

Fun news today: I got the IP manager portion of the project working. I still need to add extensive error checking to almost everything but at least it works. :)

The updated code has been checked into the CVS repository here on SourceForge. Take a look.

I need to write some installation docs still. If you want to try out the code email me and I'll give you all the help I can. The first hint is that there are no accounts created be default. You should create an admin account. Here's how:... read more

There is code up in the CVS repository. You can take a very early look at the progress of the project. I should have a structure dump of the MySQL database up in the next day or two.

I'm not not activly looking for developers yet but if you want to help, let me know and we'll see what we can do.
