There is no prealpha 1.  You mean pre1?  If you upgraded from pre1, and you
read the instructions, and make / make install is all you did, then you
either didn't read or didn't follow the instructions.  Both README and
INSTALL are very clear.  README says INSTALL contains upgrade instructions,
and INSTALL has the upgrade instructions, and they involve more than just
running make.  Please read, and follow, the upgrade instructions in INSTALL.

Upgraded from prealpha 1. Yes I read the instructions, make and make install
is pretty much all I did. I made some changes, but I copied them over and
changed it (ie breaking the symb link). Didn't touch search.pl.. I seem to
recall it working when I ran prealpha 1. Now it gives me that error.

[Slashcode-general] freebsd and slash script

The script in the latest release of Slash 2.0.0 doesn't start right on FreeBSD.

the Linux one it works fine.

[Slashcode-general] slashcode 1.0.11 bug, or what is it?

[Valkai J. <vj...@ag...>]

Dear List Memebers,

My problem is the next:

I have installed the Slashcode v1.0.11 on my computer. After a short time I
have noticed if I successively (repeatedly) refreshed the first page, some
of the slashboxes was not displayed or there was something else in place of
it.
My hardware:
Pentium I 200 Mhz MMX, 94 MB RAM. During refreshing the first page it is
swapping strongly max 90Mb to the HDD. I can not make a decision the reason
is the little HW or there is a bug in the SW or my browser is wrong. Though
I have already tried it with several Browser, but the situation was the
same.

Do you have any ideal?

 About the SoftWare:
 Debian Potato with the newest packages, but I do not know the version of
mysql, perl, apache. :>

[Slashcode-general] how to modify variables

[Xiaowu G. <xg...@ia...>]

Hi list:

Finally I was able to install slashcode on my machine and having fun 
playing with it. I do have a question, though, that is how to modify the 
variables used by the code. I went through the help page and it says that 
currently you should be able to modify them in the slashdotrc.pl file. I 
could not find such a file in the version that I installed 
(slash-2.0.0.pre3). However, I was able to find it in the stable version 
(slash-1.0.11). Can someone tell me how to do it with slash-2.0.0.pre3). 
Thank you so much in advance.

Hi!

Be carefull with the "@localhost". Did you put in the user table of
MySQL for access your database slash or slash@localhost?

Good luck!

There is a module called "Template".  It is mentioned in the README and in
INSTALL.  Using the CPAN shell as documented in INSTALL makes it easy.  You
can see more at the Template Toolkit web site.

	http://www.template-toolkit.org/

Or on CPAN:

Hi all:

I am trying to install slash-2.0.0-pre3. I am doing it by installing all 
the perl modules individually. There is one module listed "Template". I 
don't know what is it, however. I searched CPAN and could not find it or 
found a whole bunch of modules that has something to do with template.

Can someone point the way for me? Thank you.

[Xiaowu G. <xg...@ia...>]

Hi everyone:

I really need someone's help here. I was trying to install slashcode on my 
machine (slash-2.0.0-pre3). When I tried to install DBIx::Password), It was 
always unsuccessful not matter how I do it. I think I might have answered 
the questions wrong when I tried to install it.

Here are the questions:

What is the name of the virtual user?
My Answer: slash

What is the dbi driver? (AKA mysql)
My Answer: mysql

What is the name of the database?
My Answer: ISUbioinformatics

What is the name of the machine that the database is on?
My Answer: I tried to use the actual name of my machine and localhost here, 
none of them worked.

What is the user name?
My Answer: slash

What is the password?
My Answer: my slash's password

The error message that I got:

DBI->connect(database=ISUbioinformatics; host=localhost) failed: Access 
denied for user: 'slash@localhost' (Using Password: YES) at 
blib/lib/DBI/Password.pm line 31.

I tried and made sure that I can access the database as the user slash.

Please!!! Someone help me. I have been stuck with installing  slashcode for 
almost two weeks. Thank you.

It sounds like you are using the 1.x code.  Some people on the list might
help you, but the core developers are giving their full attention to the
2.x code.  Unless you have a specific need, you should be using the 2.0
code, not the 1.0.11 code.

My guess is that you don't have send_mail set in vars.

OK, I hit a bug in admin.pl that was fixed later in CVS:

$extracolumns = $slashdb->getKeys($storyref->{section})

[Slashcode-general] (no subject)

[Xiaowu G. <xg...@ia...>]

Hi everyone:

I had another question. I tried to set up slashcode1.0.11 according to the 
instructions. First I installed mysql (step 7 for 1.011). I was able to 
access the server as user either root or mysql . I found it very confusing 
that I got the message that it could connect to local MySQL server through 
socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock when I tried to access it as some other 
users. Anyway, I went ahead and modified the safe_mysqld, adding
	TZ=GMT
	export TZ
to it. I added them after the first several comments at the beginning of 
the script. However, after that, I could not run mysql as root or mysql. It 
gave me the same error message as it could not connect to local MySQL 
server through /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.

Can someone help me here? Thank you very much.

[Slashcode-general] Strange problems with 2pre3 installation

[Alessio B. <al...@al...>]

I've installed a test Slash 2pre3 server at
<http://www.toptop5.com:8870>. It runs on a Red Hat 6.2 (+ updates) box,
and on that port the Apache server has been manually built together with
mod_perl. 

The user section runs fine, but when I try to edit a story as
<http://www.toptop5.com:8870/admin.pl?op=edit&sid=00/01/25/1430236> or
enter a new story, the script dies. Looking at the HTML source reveals
that after printing out header and a template something bad happens, but
is not written in the logs.

I am not familiar with databases and slashcode. I am trying to setup

I was confused since slashd was there. I ignored and went ahead with the

When this sort of thing happens, the cause is usually that the mail server you 
are attempting to send the password messages through considers these messages 
to be relayed messages.  If you are running a recent version of Sendmail (or 
any other MTA I am aware of), relaying is blocked unless you explicitly 
authorize it.

There are a number of ways to authorize relaying.  One way is to configure the 
mail server to relay messages from machines in a certain IP address range.  
Specify the IP address of the machine running Slash, and the mail should go 
through.

If anyone disagrees with my diagnosis and prescription, let me know.

[Slashcode-general] user login/mail password problem

[Erena L. <ela...@he...>]

Hi,

I have installed slash and it's running on a local server. The problem
is that when users other than me (I'm admin) try to login their
passwords aren't being mailed to them. In otherwords, they can never get
a password to login. What have I set up  incorrectly?

Also, I need to get more information about configuring the look of the
site, the blocks admin area is confusing to me.

In Slash 1.0.X I hacked article.pl, I don't know if it's still possible
under Bender.

You need to call displayStandardBlocks in article.pl the same way you do
for index.pl. I will send you a patch UNTESTED!  :-)
