You are using RC2 right? Which OS/distribution?

"make install" is supposed to do this.. Can you send us your
installation steps? If that's not happening you probably are
going to run into lots of other problems.

Also, Nick checked in some stuff the other day to help with
the warnings and problems people say with perl 5.8, try pulling
CVS ( do "cvs co -r release-1_0-branch", the trunk has some
incomplete stuff right now ).

I only test SW with IE and Mozilla, last I checked it worked in
Konq but it could use testing. I'll try to reproduce this.

Hmm... haven't seen this before.

Hmm.. I think the create_repo bug is valid. It does seem to create
the repo whether or not the checkout dir exists.

Can you give us the exact text? Did it say "module" or "filename"? 
I'm trying to determine if this is from SandWeb or from CVS; if it's
from CVS then it's the wrong module name or something.

Sure, they are just XML files, stored in $users_dir/user/.user.cfg

Well, edit_file just uses an HTML textarea to edit the contents of
the file, but it's disabled ( should work if you just reenable it ).
The problem is that both Moz and IE use DOS-style EOL characters
everywhere, and it removes empty lines from the bottom of the file ( it
it exists ).
The thing I don't like about this is, if I check a file in with Unix,
then go and modify one line with SandWeb, a "diff" shows that I modified
every line ( because the EOL char is different ).

Uploading files just works better.

Also, right now there's no automatic checkin, because SandWeb isn't 
really a CM system so much as a CVS client.

 I just checked in some changes to CVS yesterday which fix some problems 
 when using Perl 5.8 (SandWeb has been mainly developed using Perl 5.6).

 Can you do a CVS checkout of the HEAD, and send us the output of a:

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
# make install

Thanks,
- Nick

Of course.  ;-)

What version of perl have you tested on?  I'm running 5.8.0.

Re: [Sandweb-users] Installation problems

[Nick J. <nk...@ia...>]

Woah, Bryce, that seems like an awful lot of work to get SandWeb
working. I'm thinking there may be some underlying problem here.

Did you go read the INSTALL and README files and follow the install
procedure outlined? (i.e. perl Makefile.PL, make, (as root)make install)

Re: [Sandweb-users] Installation problems

[Bryce H. <br...@os...>]

I got the following warning when running sandweb-admin after
installation:

Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at ../lib/SandWeb/Config.pm
line 352.
Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at ../lib/SandWeb/Config.pm
line 353.

sandweb was unable to find its config files.  It was looking in ../etc
instead of ../etc/sandweb.  Furthermore, relative paths did not seem to
work properly at all.  I changed all instances of '../etc' to
'/usr/local/etc/sandweb'.

For some reason that I could not determine, the javascript for one of
the tests in repository.js always fails.  This is the
isEmpty(document.repository.repo_root.value) validation command.  The
other validation commands work fine.  I tried it on Konqueror and
Netscape 4.x.  I ended up just commenting it out.

I was getting errors when trying to update user info and it wasn't
"setting".  On line 2977 it sets the user params via:

      $user->{'personal'}->{"$param"} = param("$param") || '';

However there was no $user->{'personal'} value in the $user hash at this
point so it failed.  To fix this I added above the loop:

      $user->{personal} = { };

create_repo() always seems to return success, even when it actually
fails.  Also, the way it writes the XML files appears to be in error.
I can add a new repos but when I look at the list of repositories,
instead of showing a single repos with the name I gave, it shows
repositories with each of the fieldnames of a repository.  I suspect
this issue may be related to the 'using hash as a reference' issue
above.

After having gone through all that, I was finally able to select the
repository and request checkout of the module 'foo' I needed.  However,
it simply errored saying something about "Filename foo could not be
found".

All that I really need is to connect this to a single cvs repository,
and the number of users is going to be determinant, so if I could just
write the config files manually to set up the repository and users, that
would help.

What I'm trying to determine is if it is possible to edit text files
through this interface and have them automatically get checked back into
cvs.  I see that there is an edit_file.html template, and am curious to
see how this works.

Thanks,
Bryce

[Sandweb-users] Installation problems

[Bryce H. <br...@os...>]

Hiya,

I was playing around a bit with Sandweb (the release candidate), but
have been having a lot of difficulty getting it to work properly.  Is
the next release scheduled for release soon?

Also, there is a (incomplete) Cvs perl module on CPAN.  Has anyone looked
at that?  It looks interesting, except that it doesn't have commands for
adding files or committing changes.

O yea, looking good, all the functionality appears to work correctly.

I will keep looking and let you know if something pops up, but so far so

Re: [Sandweb-users] questions

[Nick J. <nk...@ia...>]

Hi Bart,

 I went ahead and setup Apache2/Perl 5.8 on my system. BTW Apache2 has
 nothing to do with the problem, it all seems to be due to perl 5.8's
 stricter syntax checking.

 There were several syntax errors that I guess 5.6 didn't pick up on in
 the Browse.pm, Config.pm and in Shell.pm (I think the fix I made to 
 Shell.pm was the culprit). 

 In Shell.pm the system_timeout's default value was being set to a
 string '' instead of a numeric value, so this seems to have the
 side effect of hanging the cgi until apache gives up. Also, it
 seems at one spot in the code, assignment of system_timeout is
 incorrect, so this value wasn't even being set (which makes the
 default of '' much more of a problem). 

 I set the default to 300, in the code, because this is the default in
 the config file, so I figured that's the safest bet.

 Everything should work now in the trunk, and there should be
 less perl warnings in your apache error logs now :)
 
 If you can verify this I will then merge it into the branch for 1.0 
 release. 

- Nick

Re: [Sandweb-users] questions

[Bart M. <ba...@pi...>]

Sorry, I can see where I mislead you, I cannot get past clicking on the
module, (this is where it hangs) so no files, no way to test vcs
commands.  

I don't mean to kill all these bits ...   

Thanks
Bart

Ok, so you can browse the checkout ( view files, traverse into 
directories, etc )? What if you try to run a VCS command? Is
that where it hangs?

Re: [Sandweb-users] questions

[Bart M. <ba...@pi...>]

The page just sits there after you click on the module, so you can
browse it.

I watched for any sandweb commands, but nothing is running, so it would
appear that your hunch with the shell is correct.

Thanks
Bart

Oh, ok. Sorry, I misread that part.

If you do a "ps -awwwux | grep sandweb-expect" do you see a really
long command running ( sets some variables, calls cvs, etc )?

Probably not since Shell is failing. What is it that's hanging? Is
the browser sitting there trying to reload the page?

Re: [Sandweb-users] questions

Rob

The checkout works, it is when you try and access the module on the
sandbox page that it hangs.  That may explain the timeout, as it hangs
indefinitely.

Someone else on the list was getting this. I need to grab perl 5.8
and see if I can reproduce this stuff.. SandWeb is trying to set a
timeout value in the Shell class so that we don't run things on the
shell forever, but it's just not getting the argument. Weird.

That code is pretty new, it's been reported by Eric Lopez that
this error occurrs when browsing very large repositories, but it
sounds like you can't even get a checkout. It's possibly a bug
in the code, most likely a bug that only happens in perl 5.8

I guess I'll grab a perl 5.8 build before the next RC release and
resolve this, since alot of people are probably using it now with
the latest Linux distros and such.

Sorry, long day

Here are the errors I am getting.

These are the main errors I am getting, the only thing that doesn't
appear functional is after I setup the user, repository, and go into the
sandbox, I cannot navigate to any of the modules I have checked out. 
Not sure about any of the functionality after that.   


I am using Apache 2.0.43/mod_perl 1.99_08/ Perl v5.8.0

Thanks for the help and the info.

I haven't tried yet, I'm on Debian stable ( perl 5.6, apache 1.3 ).
I'd be interested to see the errors you are running into.


> Also has anyone gotten Sandweb to authenticate to a kerberos or nis

I once hacked in NT support as proof-of-concept, but I want to make
this more generic and modular so we can support seperate authentication
and authorization services.

The basic idea is :

1) turn off MD5 Javascript hashing in the login.html and sandweb-admin
2) copy lib/SandWeb/Auth/Flatfile.pm to e.g. Kerberos.pm and make 
   it return a 1 if the user is ok, 0 if not
3) make lib/SandWeb/Auth.pm use Kerberos.pm instead of Flatfile.pm

So it's possible right now, but better to wait until this is supported
by us.
Then you'll just have to flip a switch in sandweb.cfg, and maybe
write your own Kerberos.pm ( and send it to us so you don't have
to maintain it:) ).

We won't be in a position to support this until a post-1.0 release
most likely.

[Sandweb-users] questions

[Bart M. <ba...@pi...>]

Greetings

I am having a few issues getting sandweb to work, and I am sure it has
to do with what I am using. Please forgive if this was mentioned in
another thread.

I am using apache2/perl 5.8 on a rh 8.0 box.  I have tried both the
latest from cvs and the RC2.   

Has anyone got this setup and working in a environment even close to
this, or do I have to stick to Apache 1.3 and perl 5.6.x?  

Also has anyone gotten Sandweb to authenticate to a kerberos or nis
domain?

If you need specifics please let me know.

I am placing 2 errors at the bottom of the file in case this rings a
bell for anyone.



Thanks and have a nice day
Bart.

Re: [Sandweb-users] Internal server error Error 500

[Rob H. <ro...@ro...>]

I'm going to try to reproduce this one soon. I'm putting it
in the bug tracker for now.

I thought I had worked with some pretty big modules, but
it sounds like you have alot more .. :) ( I have used SandWeb
on real CVS repos since the Alpha release ).

I'll get it fixed before RC3.

Weird. Can you send your /usr/local/etc/sandweb/sandweb.cfg ? I'd
like to take a look.

Also, what version of SandWeb are you using?

The other error you got looks like permissions, but I don't know
what's going wrong. The install should take care of all that.

Did "make install" ask you any questions? Also, I think I already
asked, what OS are you using?


Thanks,
Rob

I `ve made a link from 
/etc/sandweb.cfg ->/usr/local/etc/sandweb/sandweb.cfg

When I start it from the root ('/') sandweb-admin was able to open
../etc/sandweb.cfg (there are no serious errors) :

_______
[root@unsa /]# cd /
[root@unsa /]# sandweb-admin --add-user bob
Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/SandWeb/Config.pm line 352.
Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/SandWeb/Config.pm line 353.
Enter password for bob: 
Username bob successfully added!
[root@unsa /]# 
_______
So this works, and I can log in now w my browser.
But when I enter the Full Name and want to let write sandweb.cgi bob`s
config-file, sandweb.cgi is "Unable write config file for bob."
There must be something wrong with my Paths/Rights, I think!

I`ve download/unzip sandweb to this dir ('/space/sandweb'), customized
the install.cfg (but it looked god, so I`ve done no changes) and typed
'make install'.
Here is my install.cfg :
_______
[root@unsa /]# locate install.cfg
/space/sandweb/install.cfg
/space/sandweb/debian/install.cfg

[root@unsa /]# cat /space/sandweb/install.cfg 
# Installation configuration variables.
package config;

$bindir = '/usr/local/bin';
$cfgdir = '/usr/local/etc/sandweb';
$cgidir = '/var/www/cgi-bin';
$imgdir = '/var/www/images';
$tmpldir = '/usr/local/lib/sandweb/templates';
$cachedir = '/usr/local/share/sandweb';
$logdir = '/var/log';
$httpuser = 'www';
$expectbin = '/usr/bin/expect';
$ssh_bin = '/usr/bin/ssh';
$cvs_bin = '/usr/bin/cvs';

1;
[root@unsa /]# 
_______

I thought, that this are my dirs/places where sandweb looks and works
after the installation, is this correct?

All dirs/paths/_bins exists! I can use them manually!
Hope this can help you to help me ;-)

Hmm.. well, the "Using a hash as a reference" warning is probably
from Perl 5.8.0 ( we're still using 5.6 ), I should probably upgrade :)

The "unable to open config file: ../etc/sandweb.cfg" is rather
odd. Can you send your "install.cfg" to the list?

I figured out what this is, it's because I negelected to update the
test after adding a password file ( it makes the password handling
more secure ).

It's just the test that is broken, SandWeb itself is ok.

I haven't seen this, but it could be that perl 5.8 is more verbose. I'll
have to check it out.

Send your install.cfg, I don't know why sandweb-admin would be looking
in "../etc" for sandweb.cfg

The location of sandweb.cfg is set at install time.

[Sandweb-users] Error after Installation!

[heino <he...@ie...>]

Hi!
After my Installation on Mandrake 9.1 (shouldn`t matter!) I can`t use 
'sandweb-admin --add-user bob', because of ?????
I got this as error, but my Perl is not as well as to follow this error 
and fix to a specific error!
This is my output :
