Hi,

Anyone know where you can edit the mail msg in Bender that gets sent

[Slashcode-general] Slashd won't run

[Marcel P. <mp...@gm...>]

Hello,

It's my first time i set up Slash (2.0).
I have installed mod_perl and apache according to the install docs.
Also I have installed Slash::Bundle through cpan.
I'm running Freebsd 4.4.

Installing Slash works fine.
Starting Slashd as a service won't work though:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slash.sh start
We don't support the database () specified.
Using virtual user ''  at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/Slash/DB.pm line 58.
Can't locate object method "sqlConnect" via package "Slash::DB" at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/Slash/DB.pm line 64.
why am I here? at /usr/local/slash/sbin/slashd line 36
        main::END() called at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Template/Base.pm line 0
        eval {...} called at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Template/Base.pm line 0

I have set up a user mysqluser in mysql which has access to database
bio.
In my Password.pm i have a virtual user set up which seems correct.:

my $virtual1 = {
              'biotoop' => {
                             'username' => 'mysqluser',
                             'password' => '<password>',
                             'port' => '',
                             'database' => 'bio',
                             'attributes' => {},
                             'connect' =>
'DBI:mysql:database=bio;host=localhost',
                             'driver' => 'mysql',
                             'host' => 'localhost'
                           }
            };

It seems like it doesn't use the virtual user to connect to the
database.
If someone can give me a pointer to what I'm missing here?

Greetings,

[Slashcode-general] some pages not found

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

When I click on the "Topics" link on the left, it goes to topics.shtml.
However, this gives me a 404 File Not Found error, albeit formatted within
the slash header and footers.

A similar thing happens when I post a story as a "Feature", the "Features"
link that is displayed goes to a "features/" directory, which results in a
404 error as well.  I notice that slashdot uses an
index.pl?section=features link instead.

What is going on?  I didn't change any settings in that regard that I know
of.

This is slash 2.0.0, btw.

OK, so I've been playing with this some more, and here's the "new" symptoms. :)

When I restart apache, it works great.  As apache continues to run, 
eventually it starts "occasionally" doing that... when that happens, 
clicking reload usually corrects the problem. Eventually, it just 
dies, insofar as "Every request does that", and the apache server has 
to be restarted to make it work again.

So... given THAT, anyone have any ideas why my ability to talk to the 
DB takes a dump every so often?

Re: [Slashcode-general] problems concatenating httpd.conf and slash.conf

[barry <sla...@i1...>]

At least 2 of us have had trouble getting the Virtual Server stuff 
configured during install. As one of them, I worked around it by not using 
a virtual server during the early part of my site development - but now I 
am nearing the end and I needed to fix that before deployment. I thought I 
would share some tips and results now that it seems to be working (haven't 
fully tested it yet, so both ymmv and mmmv) Surely a lot of what follows 
can be tweaked further, but hear is something at least for the record....

My virtual site machine has IP address 192.168.1.123. The goal is to have a 
virtual host called vslash.

In the httpd.conf file:

Outside of the virtual host section I have a line:

"NameVirtualHost *"

This turns on Name based virtual serving for what I guess are all the IP 
addresses of the machine. In this case, that means 192.168.1.123.

This is my virtual host section, located at the end of the file (although I 
don't think location matters). This is the slash server:

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That seems to be it. I made a few other tweaks to httpd.conf, but they 
aren't related directly to slash operation.

If this is useful, someone can add it to the INSTALL or faq file if they 
want. I can't really support it other than here though.

[Slashcode-general] problems with admin user logout

[Bill Nalen/T. P. <na...@to...>]

I have two id's setup for myself.  The one I use the most is the admin user
setup at installation.  I setup another regular user so I could see what it
looks like to regular users.  I'm running 2.0.0 on Debian.  I've also set
my site up so that it's main page is located at http://server/slash/
instead of a virtual host at the root (I need access to other things on
this server).

My question concerns logging out of the admin account.  It doesn't seem to
work.  If I go to preferences and select logout (it does bring me to the
correct byebye/login screen), quit the browser, restart the browser and go
to the site, I'm still logged in.  Also, if I log in as the regular user
from the logout screen, I get a page not found error (404).  In the logs it
looks like I'm getting redirected from /slash/users.pl to /users.pl and it
can't find it (which is correct since it doesn't exist).  The redirect
seems to be coming from the first if statement in users.pl main (if ($op eq
'userlogin' && $user->(is_anon)}).  I haven't followed all the code through
and I don't really know Perl, but I can't see how this would work since
there doesn't seem to be a call to change the user.  The other condition
for userlogin seems better since it has a userInfo call.  I also don't see
how the line:
my $refer = $form->{returnto} || $constants->{rootdir};
would come out right.  Maybe my returnto variable is wrong (I don't know
where to set this)?  I've changed all the vars associated with the /
directory to /slash/ and commented out the documentroot in the slash apache
config.  Everything else on the site seems to work okay.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bill

Re: [Slashcode-general] LDAP?

[Terry D. <td...@bi...>]

this shouldnt be too hard to write yourself.  there are a few good perl mods to 
do this for you.  If slash is nice, you should be able to change the auth info 
in one place to lookup your auth tokens in an ldap instead of mysql.

Right now "Geocrawler is down for nightly database maintenance", but
until now I've never had problems searching Geocrawler - just for other
projects though, never searched /code.

What I hate about it though is the fact that it doesn't let you view
other messages in the same thread as the found msg.

AFAIK there's no way around writing your own middleware which syncs DB
and LDAP server (or find an existing perl script which does that).

[Slashcode-general] note on slash daemon problem

[Nathan T. <nt...@ha...>]

I am running slash as root and do indeed have permissions to access that 
log file.

[Slashcode-general] issues with slash daemon

[Nathan T. <nt...@ha...>]

I having some problems getting slash to start.  I included a symbolic link 
to slash in rc5.d, and it appears to load okay, but I have my doubts, for 
if I stop apache manually (apachectl stop) and run ./slash start, I get the 
following:

Starting slashd stupid: ok PID = 1675
Can't open STDERR to /usr/local/slash/site/homer.hamilton.edu/logs/slashd.log:
Permission denied at /usr/local/slash/sbin/slashd line 565. why am I here? 
at /usr/locaol/slash/sbin/slashd line 36
            main::END() called at /usr/local/slash/sbin/slahd line 0
            require 0 called at /usr/local/slash/sbin/slashd line 0

the lines around 565 are:

sub main {
     mkpath "$constants->{logdir}/". 0, 0755;
     open STDERR, ">> $constants->{logdir}/slashd.log"
          or die "Can't open STDERR to $constants->{logdir}/slashd.log: $!";
     SlashPid();
...

}

What could I be doing wrong?

[Slashcode-general] seclev

Is the a guide or legend to the various seclev levels?

I marked a friend as an author, but he notices no change in his screens.
His seclev was still 1.  Is this the cause?  His name did show up in the

Hints?

I'd think the easiest way to do it is

if you installed the plugin with the symlink option (default is YES)
then remove the symlink to bugs.pl or any symlinks the plugin has
intalled.

Otherwise, remove the file(s) that the plugin copied to {sitename}/htdocs/

Re: [Slashcode-general] install-slashsite problems (possibly template)

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

So how should I install mysql so that the DBD::mysql installs right out of
the box (or out of cpan)?  RPM?  Different location?

[Slashcode-general] LDAP?

[Ralf R. K. <rr...@jo...>]

Is there a way to store/share the user login info with an LDAP 
server?

I want to provide users with e-mail accounts and web interface. Most 
e-mail servers can use LDAP besides the unix login and passwd.

or does anyone know of an e-mail server that stores its info in 
MySQL?

Thanx

Ralf

Re: [Slashcode-general] Referencing sections by URL?

[Markus A. <mar...@ub...>]

Sure. The sections are just subdirs in the webtree, so you'd create an
apache vhost for that. Note however that all links will still point to
www.foo.com/section/ instead of section.foo.com/. But it's a convenient
solution for easy access of sections if you have to type it's URL in the
address bar of the browser...
