[Rolodap-general] Rolodap Update

[John L. <jo...@jh...>]

Hello Rolodap User!

We are organizing an update of Rolodap after a long hiatus.

If you have any interest in the update, please subscribe to 
rolodap-develop from the rolodap web page on sourceforge, 
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=5384 .  The list has not yet been 
activated for subscriptions by sourceforge, but I am advised that should 
happen in the next 6-24 hours.

We need developers, but we also need people to write documentation, to 
test, and to provide input on needed changes.  Your help would be 
appreciated!

Regards,
John Lederer

[Rolodap-general] mailing list export bug

[<dar...@hh...>]

again, v0.986

trying to generate a mailing list from a book gives me the following 
browser error:

The requested URL /usr/local/apache/htdocs/rolodap/temp/dberry-
mergelist.csv was not found on this server.

which suggests that somewhere there's a bit of code thats using the unix 
path rather than the URL!

the file listed above does in fact exist and looks correct, its just 
that it needs an URL to point to it ;-)

[Rolodap-general] creating books - no 'groups' CN?

[<dar...@hh...>]

hi

i've just installed v0.986. most of it works, although i have had no 
sucess using the suggested secuirty model and the provided sample 
slapd.conf and for the moment am using the 'god' user in BIND_AS in 
/etc/rolodap.conf...

using the java ldap browser client i can successfully set up users and 
connect into the web interface, and add and remove contacts.

however i cannot, as either admin user or normal user, create books -- i 
just get a traceback error:

Warning: LDAP: add operation could not be completed. in 
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/rolodap/support/ldapfunctions.phtml on line 243

...with debugging turned on on slapd, it seems that its failing 
somewhere in here (here the 'A' is the name of the book i'm trying to 
create:

do_add
     do_add: ndn (CN=A,OU=GROUPS,O=CONTACTS.COMPANY.NET)
==> ldbm_back_add: cn=a, ou=groups, o=contacts.company.net
=> dn2id( "CN=A,OU=GROUPS,O=CONTACTS.COMPANY.NET" )
=> ldbm_cache_open( "/var/lib/ldap/dn2id.dbb", 7, 600 )
<= ldbm_cache_open (cache 0)
<= dn2id NOID
dn2entry_w: dn: "OU=GROUPS,O=CONTACTS.COMPANY.NET"
=> dn2id( "OU=GROUPS,O=CONTACTS.COMPANY.NET" )
=> ldbm_cache_open( "/var/lib/ldap/dn2id.dbb", 7, 600 )
<= ldbm_cache_open (cache 0)
<= dn2id NOID
dn2entry_r: dn: "O=CONTACTS.COMPANY.NET"
=> dn2id( "O=CONTACTS.COMPANY.NET" )

<= id2entry_r 0x80a0e48 (cache)
====> cache_return_entry_r
entry_rdwr_runlock: ID: 1
parent does not exist

...i assume this is becuase i don't have a 'groups' CN in my ldap 
system...i created my database using the sample.ldif file in the 
distribution, and this did not include a 'groups' entry. anyone have a 
suggestion what the attributes of this should look like, so i can try 
adding it in and see what happens?

if you want, i will inlude a complete ldif dump of my system (small!)

thx
