Re: [Slashcode-general] Getting Slash to Share a Domain

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

Here is what I have that works for me:

- redirect all requests from www.i18n.com/temp to [ip address], make sure 
the trailing slash is present if needed.

$ more .htaccess
RewriteEngine  on

RewriteRule    ^(.+[^/])$           $1/

# straight redirect
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://[ipaddress]/$1


I think in general you would want to use the RewriteBase directive too. I 
am not using it becuae I don;t have a way to redirect form a decent name to 
the ip address (it is a dynamic ip address, which causes its own problems, 
but for beta it is ok for me)

Here is a pretty good doc for mod_rewrite: 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html

HTH,

Barry

Hi, can't you just create symlinks in the Slash home directory to the other 
things:

$ ln -s /var/www/service/ /usr/local/slash/site/whatever.com/htdocs/service

You may have to specify Options AllowSymlinks in the Slash site's <Directory> 
directive.

You cannot execute Slash::Apache or Slash::Apache::User outside of mod_perl
(unless the mod_perl API is somehow compiled into your regular perl, which
is unlikely).

Re: [Slashcode-general] Getting Slash to Share a Domain

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

My  situation is this: for beta testing my site, I want it to look like it 
is coming from the domain that my  isp provides, but really be running on a 
different machine.

lets assume:

Isp host = www.i18n.com
slash is running on ip address 192.168.1.1 (obviously not the real address)

I have created a directory temp on www.i18n.com in the web space.

In that directory, I have created a .htaccess file which contains:

RewriteEngine  on
RewriteBase /
# straight redirect
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://192.168.1.1/$1


this seems to work, except it looks like I need to put "/" at the end of 
the url in places. I think there is some info inthe mod_rewrite 
documentation that I will review about that issue, but for now this looks 
very promising. I am still testing, but it looks like the the user sees the 
slash material as though it really lives at www.i18n.com/temp .

HTH,

Barry

Re: [Slashcode-general] Getting Slash to Share a Domain

I happen to be working on a similar issue right this very minute. I am 
playing with Rewrite rules. ProxyPass might be simpler, I will check into 
that. either way, once I figure it out, I will report to the list.

[Slashcode-general] Getting Slash to Share a Domain

[Computers in M. <pi...@ma...>]

We have an existing web site, call it www.foobar.org, and several
subdirectories under the domain that provide existing services.  We'd like
to replace the existing home page www.foobar.org with a Slash site but keep
URLs such as www.foobar.org/service/ pointing to their existing services.
I've tried adding Alias directives into the slash.conf and foobar.conf
Apache configuration files created by Slash, but they appear to be ignored
once Slash is controlling the domain.  I've also tried running Slash on a
port other than 80 and mapping it to www.foobar.org/slash/ (an acceptable,
but not ideal solution) using Apache ProxyPass and ReverseProxyPass
directives as follows:

ProxyPass /slash/ http://www.foobar.org:8080/
ReverseProxyPass /slash/ http://www.foobar.org:8080/

This is how we get Zope mapped into the existing domain. We run the Zope
zserver on another port and map it into Apache space.  With Slash, the
ProxyPass directive works but the ReverseProxyPass directive does not, so
all the URLs embedded within the pages returned point to www.foobar.org:8080
instead of www.foobar.org/slash/.

Do any Slash or Apache gurus out there know of a clean way to do what we're
trying to do?  We're just a bunch of students who've set up a Linux box and
are trying to do cool things with it, and are learning as we go along.  Any
suggestions would be much appreciated!

[Slashcode-general] "HTML::FormatText::AddRefs" run time error?

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

I am trying to modify the daily emails to show the introtext. Since that 
funcitonality is in Fry, I am trying to back port it to Bender.

I took Fry's html2text from Data.pm and moved it to Bender's Utility.pm. 
Using CPAN I did:

cpan> install HTML::FormatText

which went OK.

I then added

use HTML::FormatText;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;

to Utility.pm.

But when I run dailystuff, I get this run time error:

[root@slash sbin]# ./dailyStuff [user]
Can't locate object method "new" via package "HTML::FormatText::AddRefs" at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Slash/Utility.pm line 2690.

I don't understand what I am missing here - any ideas?

Don't do that;  use the var 'siteadmin_name'.

Well, I guess that happened because I was just checking things with perl -c 
on the command line.  Starting it with Apache worked fine!

Anyway, I apparently have Slash 2 and 2.2 functional on the same box.  But 
there are some problems:

#1. When I try to post a journal in Fry I get an internal server error and 
this in the error log (after clicking the Preview button);

[Sat Nov 10 06:55:14 2001] [error] Can't locate object method "is_friend" via 
package "Slash::Journal" at 
/usr/local/slash22/site/travtest/htdocs/journal.pl line 550.

I'm wondering if it's using the old Journal.pm, but it shouldn't be. It's 
inheriting the PERL5LIB var

#2. The two default stories were archived sometime after I replied twice to 
one of them and approved the one in the submission area.  I never asked it to 
archive anything.

#3. Messages don't seem to be working....  I enabled them in prefs, of course.

Any ideas?  I know I have a somewhat unconventional setup, but I think it 
should be good...

#4. Stories on the home page don't list any comments.  When displaying the

I like the new feature that lets you see which user IDs logged in from the 
address a message was posted from.  That kicks arse.

And Bender & Fry really are working on the same box.  If I do
apachectl22 stop
apachectl start
and reload the home, I get my old Bender site back, working just fine. :-)  
Vice versa and Fry is back.

[Slashcode-general] Plugins I'm working on

[Micah Y. <yo...@ho...>]

In case anyone's interested.  I plan to GPL all at some point.  They're in 
various stages of development.

 * BlockOwners -- lets you delegate permission to edit a certain block to a 
certain user.  Lets the user preview and commit the change.  I have it 
installed on TravTalk.org.  I plan to use it to sell Slashboxes to 
advertisers when the thing takes off.  It probably could be released now, but 
it didn't install correctly automatically with the install-plugin utility.  I 
dunno what's up with that.

 * Classifieds -- classified ad system.  Already works to a certain extent 
(you can put in ads and view them by category) but probably needs more admin 
stuff.  Also may be extended to auctions at some point.

 * (my favorite) Trivia Question of the Day -- lets you put in trivia 
questions, and each day logged in users will get a shot to answer one.  They 
will have {var} number of seconds from the time the question is shown.  It 
will keep stats and rank users.  It will let anyone view the last {var} 
number of questions and answers.  In heavy develment, nothing ready for 
release.

All are for Slash 2.0 currently, but if/when I get TravTalk.org upgraded to 
2.2, that's the platform I'll develop these on.

Solved: Re: [Slashcode-general] slash.pm question - more info

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

OK, this one was my bug (it was all code I modified previously)  - turns out:

[% my_section = section.section %] should be
[% my_section = section %]

and my idea that I should have:

  slashDisplay('header',
                                 $section,
                                 );

was right.

[Slashcode-general] bug in edit_comment template?

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

in the edit_comment;comment;default template (in Bender)

there is a line:

[% IF !user.is_anon && user.karma > constants.goodkarma %]

when I try to use template-tool to store and then compile this template, it 
breaks at that line:

[root@slash templates]# template-tool -u user -s 
edit_comment\;comments\;default
Preparing to insert edit_comment using filename edit_comment;comments;default
updated template edit_comment;comments;default tpid 69
[root@slash templates]# template-tool -u user -c 
edit_comment\;comments\;default
edit_comment;comments;default at /usr/local/sbin/template-tool line 278.
Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at (eval 7) line 124.
Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at (eval 7) line 124.


It seems to think that it can't do the comparison because both user.karma 
and constants.goodkarma are strings.

But almost immediately afterwards in that template is:

[% IF constants.allow_anonymous && user.karma > -1 && !user.is_anon %]

and that compiles OK. Why ?

I notice the same code is in the template for Fry.

So how did this get built in the first place? How do I get it built again, 
now tht I made a slight mod to the template? (for now I have just commented 
that part out, but obviously that is a short-term solution)


Thanks for any insight!

[Slashcode-general] incorrect constants in templates for bender

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

Below are 2 bug reports I have (bugzilla style, so the order is inverted). 
Basically I discovered that some templates use variables that don't exist 
in the table "vars", or do exist but the spelling of the name does not 
match between the table and the templates.

- Perhaps this information can be added to an errata note in the readme for 
bender?

- Does anyone else know of similar issues?

- Can I add these new variables to the table via the admin interface, or do 
I have to do it via sql?

Thanks!

With the older version of slash you could get away with low-end
hardware if you had multiple boxes.

I ran two slash sites on two HP Vectra's - one ran apache, one
MySQL. Both had 'overdrive' chips that upgraded the P75 to ~P200
and both had 96MB ram. Not exactly lightning quick,
but they held up for over a year with multiple sites
that had low traffic.

If it didn't take so long to work on the boxes (ie install
perl modules, make && install etc) I'd be tempted to put the
latest slash on there just to see how it'd work out.

Exactly. We were running a Slash 1.0.9 on a P200 with 256MB RAM, which
was mostly ok (after a fair bit of apache tuning). But our first test
server was a P233 with only 32MB RAM - absolutely insufficient. With
more than 2 simaltanious connects  it was even impossible to connect
with ssh - it was swapping like hell. No chance even after days of
waiting - you had to login locally and kill all apache processes...

Interesting, it seems to me like that would cut it if you have enough RAM 
(like Shane said, that is key).

My server is a dual P3 866, running 4 Slash sites currently (and some other 
stuff), and CPU load usually hoovers in the 0.10 to 0.20 range!  Not a big 
deal at all.

[Slashcode-general] (sorta OT): compiling expat under IRIX?

[Chris W. <ch...@ha...>]

Hi guys,

Anyone tried compiling expat under IRIX? Seeing as I need to get it to work,
so that I can install XML::Parser (for Slash).. I'm getting some peculiar
library errors!

Re: [Slashcode-general] slash.pm question - more info

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

My header;misc;default template now has these lines at the top:

__template__
[% my_section = section.section %]
[% UNLESS my_section %]
         [% my_section = "home" %]
[% END %]
</HEAD>

and later:

                 [%
                         INCLUDE banner0
                         this_section = my_section %]

the problem is that when this section gets called from slashd to create 
[section]/slashhead.inc, my_section always = "home", meaning 
section.section is empty. I really want to have my_section = [section] as 
it does when the page is generated by index.pl.

Any tips on getting the section name in the template when it is called by 
slashd?

Thanks!

Barry

[Slashcode-general] slash.pm question

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

in sub header :

why are the lines:
	my $sectionInfo = getSection($form->{section});
	slashDisplay('header',
				{section=> $sectionInfo},
				);

not just

	slashDisplay('header',
				$section,
				);

The reason I ask is because I have added some section-specific stuff in the 
header template. This Slash::header function is called in slashd when it 
created slashhead,inc for each section. I wonder if this is a bug that was 
never caught because the default template 'header;misc;default' had 
no  section-specific issues?


Thanks!

Barry
