Not to my knowledge. The only real issue would be that all the ports
that you run your db and webserver are open.
I have a mandrake box that I have locked down Big Time (TM) with
ipchains, trimmed down scant inetd.conf, and other security tweaks, and
it runs fine. Another security issue is to run mysql or whatever db  you
run as a non-privileged user.

do you have all the httpd conf files in place? Does your httpd.conf have
an include line to /usr/local/slash/httpd/slash.conf (which then has a
link to /usr/local/site/yoursite/yoursite.conf)?

This is the only thing that I can think of that would give you this
error. Make sure all these files are in place, also make sure that your
install process put all the necessary modules into your perl library
path.

Re: [Slashcode-general] Apache error with 2.0.0pre1 rpm install

[Nicholas R. <ri...@lf...>]

RPMs not going to work? Apache has been working great. I have not had
occasion to use mod_perl for much other than Bronc a while back (so I am not
sure whether it is working properly.)

Why do you say it won't work?

In the mean time, I will go look for newer RPMs.

[Slashcode-general] Apache error with 2.0.0pre1 rpm install

[Nicholas R. <ri...@lf...>]

After installing the slash2.0-pre1 RPM, and restarting apache, I get the
following error: 

Invalid command 'SlashVirtualUser', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration



What have I done wrong? I am looking to find out where to start
troubleshooting this problem. My config. Is follows:

RedHat 7
Pentium III 800MHz
512 MB RAM
Apache 1.3.14-3  (RPM)
Mod_perl 1.24-6  (RPM)


I ran install-slashsite without problems of any kind. What could be wrong

[Slashcode-general] Securing a box running Slash

[Dave A. <dav...@ct...>]

The April issue of LinuxJournal has an article called "Battening down the 
Hatches with Bastille".  Has any discussion taken place on what would be

I have looked around Slashcode.com and done some Google searches to try to find

[Slashcode-general] Missing Books Template

[Eric D. <eri...@ja...>]

One thing that I noticed is missing after upgrading my site to Bender is
that there is not a books_more template (or something equivalent). Does
anyone have a template for that?

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-general] Topic Parameters, etc.

[Myers, T. <tm...@e-...>]

I am trying to call the topic alttext and image values "directly" from
within the story_trailer section of slash.  That is, within the index.pl
displayStory (i believe.)  Does 1.0.9 support this?  I can't seem to figure
out how to accomplish this.

Thanks,

Simple Story is unfinished. It is just a sample theme I put

Unless any errors reported themself during the install you should now
have a slashsite. You will either need to edit your httpd.conf file
unless you are have Slash handle it. The correct syntax can be found in:

I tracked down the Andover.net menu the other day. It lives in a block
called "organisation." I just got started on this, so I'm not familiar
with block settings, etc.; instead I fixed it just by making the block
blank. actually, almost blank.

the block looks like this:

$menu .= <<EOT;
(buncha code)
EOT

of course in Perl this means "throw everything until EOT into the $menu
variable." I coulda just erased everything but for some reason I decided
to be superstitious and left the

$menu .= <<EOT;
EOT

part intact, even tho it's obviously a waste of time. it's just saying,
"throw nothing into $menu." you could almost certainly get away with
leaving it entirely blank, and I probably will go back and do that sooner
or later.

the about/faq/topics block is called "mainmenu." I kept that but shuffled
the text around.

[Slashcode-general] 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 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-general] 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

RE: [Slashcode-general] question

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.

Re: [Slashcode-general] question

[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!

Re: [Slashcode-general] question

[Benjamin MA R. <br...@es...>]

Daniel,

I actually encountered what seems to be a similar thing.  The system would create the first account, uid 0, fine but
would not create subsequent accounts.  To solve this I artificially created a dummy uid 0 account and the system then
seemed to work fine.  Was a little odd, but I got it working.

However it may have been something strange I was doing as I have ported it to OpenBSD.

Regards
Ben

[Slashcode-general] question

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

I am not sure if this list is active, but I was wondering if anyone could
help with a problem I am having.

When I try to create a user in the login section, it just doesn't
work.  It returns the following:

Once you receive your password, you can log in and set your account up
testuser was not found. No Password mailed.

I don't understand.  The whole point is for it to create the user, so why
is it saying that the user isn't found?  

btw:  The first user I created worked fine, and I haven't changed anything
since then.

thanks in advance.

What were the errors?  While installing, CPAN reports which tests had errors.

Consider going to your ~user/.cpan/build/ directory, entering each problem
module's directory, and running `make test` by hand, so you can see the
errors more clearly.

[Slashcode-general] Probs w/ Install RH 7.0

[Mike G. <mi...@mg...>]

Once I was confident with my Slash install abilities with
RH 6.2, I decided to rebuild my system (added new mb and proc)
and re-install Slash.  I also rebuilt the system with RH 7.

Anyway, my last delimma was due to the missing XML Parser.

Now that it's all installed from scratch, I seem to be having
troubles with the CPAN Bundle::Slash routine.  Here's what I've
got:

[Slashcode-general] Block Buster

[Jason H. <ja...@ne...>]

I have a need to reuse a single block in multiple sections.  It is a
pain to have to rewrite the same block for different sections.  It 
also is problematic to edit the "same block" ten times for the 
different sections.

Is there an easy way reuse one block for these different, but 
related sections?

Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
JH
