why you don't try to check out the log file?

the error you junt sent me, could be different from de sandweb.log one... b=
y=20
default it's in /var/log/sandweb.log, check it, but first I recomend you=20
clean it, (with : "> sandweb.log" if the file is too big). You'll get more=
=20
information and maybe the specific problem...=20

If this file isn't in here.. check youre sandweb config file... it describe=
=20
where sandweb.log is.

Sorry for my english...=20

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

Hello,

Well, I don't think running the CGI as root and making everything 777
is going to be necessary, but I can see how you'd be driven to it as a
troubleshooting measure :)

You omitted one important detail below: you say that the "product
refuses to acknowledge these permissions when trying to write
the .user.cfg file". What are you talking about exactly, sandweb-admin,
the CGI, something else.. ? Can you send the actual error output please?

In sandweb's defense, I would say that permission problems usually have
to do with the OS not allowing something, not with sandweb acknowledging
anything :) 

It sounds like it must be the user directory; I am assuming you've
already created a user with sandweb-admin, and you get this error upoon
login. One thing to check is that the sandweb.cfg is pointing to the
right place for user directories (if it doesn't exist, you'd get this
kind of permission error).

Also, try turning on debugging in the sandweb.cfg, and send the output
at the bottom of the web page to the list (NOTE - your password is in
plain text in debug output; please mask or omit it).

Oh and also what OS/version and perl version is this?


Thanks,
Rob

[Sandweb-users] write_config() problems

[Dr. T. <spa...@st...>]

I=B9ve got sandweb installed, and changed both the owner and group to match
the instance of Apache I=B9ve got running. I=B9m running into the standard set
of permission problems. I now have every directory set to a shameless 777
permission and still the product refuses to acknowledge these permissions
when trying to write the .user.cfg file.

I=B9m able to login, but when setting the user name, I get a write_config()
error. I=B9ve manually set the following directories and files to 100%
non-secure 777 permissions:

/usr/bin/sandweb/
/usr/local/share/sandweb/
/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/
/usr/local/share/sandweb/data/
/usr/local/share/sandweb/log/
/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/myuser/

/cgi-bin/sandweb.cgi

What could possibly continue the permission problem? I=B9ve traced all the
Perl down to the specific lines, and all the paths are correct. The main CG=
I
itself is running in GOD mode with =8Croot=B9 ownership and a blatant 777
allowance.=20

Any suggestions?

I think you'll want to leave www-data's homedir at /var/www; just make
sure that www-data user can write to ~/.ssh/

Hopefully in the future this won't be necessary... anyway, the way to
test this is to do:
su - www-data
ssh user@cvs-server

If you can log into your "cvs-server" as "user", then www-data should be
able to carry out the CVS commands that you need.

[Sandweb-users] Installing SandWeb on Debian Sarge

[Bittner,Peter <Bi...@te...>]

Hi!

I have tried to install SandWeb on Debian/Sarge by the "perl install.PL;
make; make test; make install" method.

I have adapted install.cfg before executing make install and adapted my
site configuration of Apache2 after SandWeb was up and running to make
SandWeb available at https://my.site.url/sandweb (if you know what I
mean).

Now I have a slight problem with adding a home-directory for my Apache
user, i.e. www-data on Debian Linux. I have done a "mkdir
/home/www-data; chown www-data:www-data /home/www-data" and in my
/etc/passwd I have:

www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

... well, now I am not sure if it is a good idea to change this line to

www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/home/www-data:/bin/bash

What do you guys suggest?

(Note that I am using shadow passwords for the rest of my system, I
don't know how this would fit in the picture.)

Cheers, Peter

Re: [Sandweb-users] Debian package for sandweb?

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

Hi Peter,

There is a "debian" directory in the source; you can use this command to 
build a debian package:

fakeroot debian/rules binary

You need to have the debian devel tools installed; I think doing 
"apt-get install debmake" will install everything you need.

[Sandweb-users] Debian package for sandweb?

[Bittner,Peter <Bi...@te...>]

Hi there!

Is there a Debian package available for SandWeb?

(There used to be one available as I read on the web. However, "deb
http://sandweb.sourceforge.net/debian/ ./" does not work any more
today.)

In spite of the  install.cfg settings below,
when I run "make install", it is still trying to copy the pm's into the 
servers main perl directories,
so I still get the following errors:

-bash-2.05b$ make install

[Sandweb-users] non-root installation (on web host)

I am attempting to install sandweb on a standard hosting plan.
I have full shell access as a user, but of course do not have root access.

Has any body successfully  installed sandweb with a regular webhost user 
account as such?
Any tips would be most appreciated.

Below are some details.

FYI: The webhost runs the appache suexec module so all cgi scripts in 
theory should run as my user name.
I have changed the folllowing in the install.cfg

$bindir = '/home/myUsername/sandweb/bin';
$cfgdir = '/home/myUsername/sandweb/config';
$cgidir = '/home/myUsername/www/cgi-bin';

[Sandweb-users] backslashes

[Webb, J. <jas...@lm...>]

I am still trying to figure out how to keep Sandweb from removing the
backslash from a user name.  Is there some perl module that I could edit
the source code in to fix this problem? Or something else that I might
try? I really need to get around this problem in some way. Any help
would be great.

The next version should support uploading and downloading the workspace

[Sandweb-users] Cross platform Web interface

pre.S. Please forgive, I posted this to gnu.cvs.help, but haven't gotten any bites...

Hi everyone,
I've been looking into how I might setup a web interface to a cvs
repository (on a unix box) which can check out files to the client's
machine, particularly on windows. It looks like SandWeb is the most
full featured web client for CVS, but once I serve it from my Unix box,
it would seem I'll be limited to checking out/ commiting from somewhere
on my Unix file system. Is this a correct assumption about SandWeb?
Are there any other software tools that can handle this requirement?
Suggestions? Thanks!
