[daniel j w. <dj...@bu...>]

ok... I think our problems are very similar.  For me though, it seems
that the Anonymous Coward user was screwing it all up.  Once I deleted it,
everything works fine.  Here were the simptoms:

1) Would only create the first user account.

2) Even when adding users directly through mysql it wouldn't work.  It
would report "ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '2147483647' for key 1".  Even
if I specified a different uid than 2147483647, it would still report the
same thing.

weird... removing all the default accounts cleared it up though.  

thanks for the help!

This has something to do with the latest versions of MySQL not being
able to AUTO INCREMENT fields with negative values. (Anonymous Coward
has a uid of -1).  Downgrading to 3.22.32 MySQL fixes this.

[Slashcode-development] problems with blocks

[daniel j w. <dj...@bu...>]

Settings
-I set almost all my blocks to 0
-Features, Login, and Polls are set to 1, 2 and 3  
-I set a few others to -1

Problems
-Login doesn't come up at all
-Menu with options like About, FAQ, Topics... still comes up
-Andover.net menu still comes up.

Questions
-Are there other places that may need to be changed?  
-Are there any better docs on blocks than the getting started page?  
-Are the two blocks on the left really blocks or are they something else?  
-Is it possible to put all blocks on the left instead of right?

System info:

Redhat Linux 7.0
Kernel 2.2.18
dual PIII 500
slashcode 1.09
mod_perl 1.24-6
apache 1.3.14-3
mysql 3.23.32-1.7

I will gladly give any other info needed.

thanks,

daniel

[Slashcode-development] Re: [Slashcode-general] problems with blocks

[daniel j w. <dj...@bu...>]

this is also showing up in my apache error logs.  does this mean I should
compile mod_perl again?

I doubt this has anything to do with Apache/mod_perl problems.  This is a
data problem, and looks like a problem from Slash 1.0.7.  But you say you
have 1.0.9, so I don't know.  However:

Something looks like it is installed improperly, though I can't say exactly
what.

Slash 1.0.9 is incompatible with MySQL 3.23.  Slash 1.1/2.0 works fine with
MySQL 3.23 (and in fact, it is kinda required, though you might be able to
work with only 3.22).

[Slashcode-development] modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000

[daniel j w. <dj...@bu...>]

"modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000" is showing up in my messages
file when I try to launch /etc/init.d/slash.  The script dies right away
and doesn't launch slash.  It doesn't print any errors out.

This is while testing bender out.  Does anyone know why it needs this
module?  I know there are modules like binfmt-java and binfmt-aout, but I
don't know what binfmt-0000 is, and neither does anyone else I have
spoken to.  I have been looking at people ask the same question about this
module causing the same error, but with other things such as ppp.  There
are never any answers to this question.

I have greped through most of the slashcode for modprobe, and binfmt, but
haven't found where it is calling it from.  My guess is that it tries to
access something else that calls it.

thanks,

daniel

I do not know; I can only confirm that these things are not called directly
from Slash.  Try running, instead:

	/usr/local/slash/sbin/slashd VIRTUAL_USER_NAME

See if that works.  If so, then I imagine the problem is somewhere in the
/etc/init.d/slash script, but I don't know what that problem would be.

[Slashcode-development] Bender Templates

[daniel j w. <dj...@se...>]

I have a question about where the templates are stored for a site?  Are
they in the database, or does it use the ones in
/usr/local/slash/themes/slashcode/templates?  If it does keep them in the
database, is it possible to export them so I can use my current theme on
another site?

thanks

Templates are stored in the database. The template files in
/usr/local/slash/themes/slashcode/templates
are file-based entries of those self-same templates. Initially, when you load a
slash-site, the install-slashsite tool will load the database with the
templates of the theme you select.

You should check out bin/template-tool. It was created with this exact purpose
in mind. It can extract templates to a file for ease of editing (you therefore
don't need to use the admin interface). Have CLI? Will travel. You can then use
the template-tool to reload any template files into the database.

Of course, this means that the short answer to your last question is: Yes.

If you need more information on this issue, please let us know.

We are working to translate the Bender templates into Italian. Once
it's completed, which is the best way to distribute it? A patch on top
of slash 2.0, a new theme, a plugin?

What all are you finding that you have to change? Templates would
be great.
