Re: [Slashcode-general] installation problem on Fedora Core 5

From: Anand N. <ana...@ya...> - 2006-10-06 22:27:03

Shane, thanks again. I tired different options and had gone trhough each line of Bundle::Slash outputs. There were couple of erros during the make test, but the modules are installed without any problem.
   
  >>If I had to guess, you still are either missing required perl modules, or one (or more) is not installed correctly. Make sure you have them all installed (from Bundle::Slash) as well as DBIx::Password and Template-toolkit. 
   
  Thats what I also thought. but wasnt able to find the missing module/s.
   
  $ perl -MTemplate -e 'print "$Template::VERSION\n"';             
  2.15
$ perl -MDBIx::Password -e 'print "$DBIx::Password::VERSION\n"'; 
  1.8
$ perl -MBundle::Slash -e 'print "$Bundle::Slash::VERSION\n"';
2.52
$ rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.8-4 (using the same perl came with distro)

  $ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)

  Tried uninstalling libwww to install a previous version, but it has too many dependencies.
   
  I can try installing MySQL from the tar ball, I think now that is the only option left for me.

Re: [Slashcode-general] installation problem on Fedora Core 5

From: Anand N. <ana...@ya...> - 2006-10-06 22:25:48

Shane,
thank you so much for your reply. please check my answers below..

apache 1.3.37
mod_perl-1.29
expat-1.95.8-8.2
expat-devel-1.95.8-8.2
perl v5.8.8
MySQL-server-4.1.21-0 (from rpm)
MySQL-client-4.1.21-0 (from rpm)
MySQL-devel-4.1.21-0 (from rpm)

I would use MySQL v5.x. See Slashcode's INSTALL for more information.

Anand: In the install docit was mentioned that MySQL v4.1.x and 5.x are good. Never thought it might be the problem. I will try with MySQL v5.x also.

I installed MySql server, client and devel rpms first and then
installed mod_perl and apache with following commands.
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/usr/download/apache_1.3.37/src DO_HTTPD=1 \
>USE_APACI=1 PERL_MARK_WHERE=1 EVERYTHING=1 \
> APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache
make
make test
make install
Didnt notice any errors with the installation except couple of errors
with make test as described in the install doc

you should be able to apachectl configtest and have it come out w/ no
errors at that point.
you should be able to fire up httpd and get the stock
apache-is-installed page, too, at this point.

Anand: Yep. I got the default apache page and accessed the sample perl scripts by creating an alias for a script directory.

When I tried installing slash (R_2_5_0_94), received following messages

Why R_2_5_0_94?

Anand: that is the stable version mentioned at slashcode.com

Writing Makefile for Slash::Apache::Banlist
Writing Makefile for Slash::Apache::Log
Writing Makefile for Slash::Apache::TemplatePages
"strip" is not defined in %Slash::Constants::EXPORT_TAGS at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Slash/Constants.pm
line 44

Did you check Slashcode's SF bug list for this?

Anand: couldnt find any bug related to this :(

Did you grab a checkout of CVS HEAD and do a make install and see if
you still see the 'strip not defined' problem?

Anand: got the same error with CVS HEAD.

You might want to grab CVS HEAD, or latest t-tag, and use that. I just
did an install on my laptop w/ the latest CVS-HEAD and it make
installs and install-slashsite's a brand new working site just fine.

Anand: I tried both head and the latest t-tag
by any chance did you use Fedora core 5 ? that is what I am using.

Well, the suggestion to upgrade to MySQL v5 was just that, a =20
suggestion. Slashcode will work with v4 or v5 - but v4's old. If you =20
are starting fresh, you may as well go with v5, so you won't have to =20
up it later w/ a working server.

My laptop is a Macbook Pro, so no, Fedora {anything} isn't on it. We =20
have a few slashcode (er lamp) servers running FC4. Never had any =20
problems with any RH7->FC4 machines (or RHEL, but haven't tried =20
CentOS yet) running slashcode, ever. I did have our lanmanager push =20
down a FC5 bare install to a machine to get setup and test things out =20=

on, but I've not had time to mess with it.

If I had to guess, you still are either missing required perl =20
modules, or one (or more) is not installed correctly. Make sure you =20
have them all installed (from Bundle::Slash) as well as =20
DBIx::Password and Template-toolkit.

I don't think I normally replace the Perl that comes w/ any of the =20
above distro's.

[shane@web1 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)
[shane@web1 ~]$ rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.6-24

And I run MySQL from tarball, not RPM.

Re: [Slashcode-general] installation problem on Fedora Core 5

From: Anand N. <ana...@ya...> - 2006-10-05 23:10:57

Shane, thank you so much for your reply.

After I got your reply, I tried different with different versions of slash code.

with same MySQl version (4.1.x),
tried R tag, T tag and tip of the code.

After upgrading the MySQL version to 5.0.x
updated the PERL modules with force and tried R tag, T tag and tip of the code

None of this solved the problem. While updating the PERL modules, I noticed following warning message,

CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MA/MARCLANG/ParallelUserAgent-2.57.tar.gz

**** WARNING: Unsupported Version of libwww found! ****
This library only supports libwww up to version 5.76. You seem to have
version 5.805 installed, which has not yet been tested by the package author
for compatibility.

not sure if I am getting this problem because of libwww version.

Also, please check my answers below..

apache 1.3.37
mod_perl-1.29
expat-1.95.8-8.2

No suprise. There are several perl modules that you have to install  
by hand. No biggie. Most of them are installed via the Bundle,  
thankfully.

[Slashcode-general] installation problem on Fedora Core 5

From: Anand N. <ana...@ya...> - 2006-10-04 18:08:12

Hi All,
I am trying to install Slash on Fedora Core 5 with following versions,

apache 1.3.37
mod_perl-1.29
expat-1.95.8-8.2
expat-devel-1.95.8-8.2
perl v5.8.8
MySQL-server-4.1.21-0 (from rpm)
MySQL-client-4.1.21-0 (from rpm)
MySQL-devel-4.1.21-0 (from rpm)

I installed MySql server, client and devel rpms first and then installed mod_perl and apache with following commands.
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/usr/download/apache_1.3.37/src DO_HTTPD=1 \

> APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache
make
make test
make install
Didnt notice any errors with the installation except couple of errors with make test as described in the install doc

Then installed Bundle::Slash after installing CPAN update. Got some error with Time::Calendar and had to do a Force Install.

When I tried installing slash (R_2_5_0_94), received following messages

install didnt stop here, and received a successful installation message.

When I tried creating a slash site, received following error,

# ./install-slashsite -u virtslash

Basically, once you can write template code, the potential for being able to
co-opt a site is very, very high. Template code == Database access with the
right plugin. I don't think Slash tries to prevent against that. Plus, it's
very easy for a template to perform one query too many and drive down site
performance. If this is done for -every story view-, you might be a long
time in finding the problem.

Of course, I'm being paranoid and extremist in my examples, but rather
prepare you for the worst rather than hand you a pair of rose-colored
glasses and have everything fall apart.

The one obstacle I could see is the pre-rendering of the stories.

For .shtmls, yes. This might be true, however that's ONLY if you are
planning on using templates-in-stories for anonymous vs logged in content.
If you have bigger things in mind, even .shtml generation might bring up
some issues.

I'm not quite up-to-speed on the entire pre-rendering mechanism, but I
*think* the pre-rendered form is shown in normal site operation for logged
in users. This might cause problems for non-saavy users who are expecting
more dynamic content from the implication of templates-in-stories.

And that's pretty much what I was referring to. Remember, if you include the
ability to write templates in stories, a bad apple need only break into the
*site* to potentially damage the entire server. For someone to abuse .tmpl
files, they'd have to break into the *server*, which while also doable is a
bit more difficult.

It basically all boils down to a matter of trust.

And having admins write (potentially bad) template code can make debugging site
problems two to three times as hard. Even innocent stuff like  missing "-%>"
can cause really wacky things to happen and it's not like the site admin can
browse the error logs to find out the problem.

All in all, I see less gains than issues with doing such things without  a
lot of learning curve, proper training, and huge amounts of trust before
something would be gained by such a thing. Not saying it might not be a
worthwhile addition to a sight run by a tight core group of editors (which
is why I included a way it *might* work in my original missive), but that it
might not be something that only the saaviest of Slashcode site admins need
consider.

Can you elaborate on this a little bit? I don't see where the problem  
would lie. My thinking is that it's different from a .tmpl file.

The one obstacle I could see is the pre-rendering of the stories.  
Slashd writes them to disk as .shtml's, so there'd be no question,  
it'd just ignore the template toolkit code within the story.introtext  
and bodytext.

But when a user hits articles.pl does it show pre-rendered (from  
cache) or render it right then and there? If right then and there, it  
would seem the template running would be no different from a .tmpl  
and it'd be limited to the current user.

Obviously, you'd have to fully trust your site admins (ie authors)  
with writing template toolkit code. That in itself is kinda scary.

Would be neat, but could also be BAAAD JUJU. Because effectively, there
would need to be some kind of security model in place for Templates in
stories otherwise the potential for site pwnage would be very high.

PS. If you wanted to do something like that, you could with a 2-phased
template process approach. Instead of using the standard tags, you could use
custom story tags of your own, ala:

blah blah content content...
<!+ IF !user.is_anon !+>
  Attached files:
  <ul>
   <li><slash-tag></li>
   <li><slash-tagforfile#2></li>
</ul>
<!+ END !+>

Where "<!+" and "!+>" are my lame attempts at custom tags. The reason for
the 2-phased approach would solely be ease of implementation. Trying to do
it in one phase right now would give me a massive coronary (considering my
current migraine).

So the end of dispStory() should read something like this:

sub dispStory {
...
  if ($constants->{templates_in_stories}) {
    my($story, $body) = ($story->{introtext}, $story->{bodytext};
    my($tag) = '[% TAGS "<!+" "!+>" %]';
    $story = "$tag\n$story";
    $body = "$tag\n$body";
    slashDisplay($story,  {}, \$story);
    slashDisplay($body, {}, \$body);
    $story->{introtext} = $story;
    $story->{bodytext} = $body;
  }

  return slashDisplay($template_name, \%data, 1);
}

Or something like that. It's be a while so I might be missing the syntax of
a rew things, but that's one way how it could be done. Note that this does
not account for several pieces of the engine that I haven't had a chance to
familiarize myself with... most notably story pre-rendering.

This is only a hint as to how it could be done. I'm sure many of you could
do it better.

But for God's Sake, please read the non-postcript portion of this message
again before attempting to implement something like this ];-}

[Slashcode-general] attaching files/content to stories

From: shane <sh...@lo...> - 2006-08-29 19:07:01

Ya know what would be cool? Being able to embed Template toolkit  
logic within a story text. ie

start new story
add content, save it, don't queue to show.
edit it later, upload file(s) into said story.
then when you edit the story

blah blah content content...
[% IF !user.is_anon %]
  Attached files:
  <ul>
   <li><slash-tag></li>
   <li><slash-tagforfile#2></li>
</ul>
[% END %]

then you could have story content show only for logged in users, or  
only for subscribers, etc etc.
