I was wondering if anybody could help me on this topic. I just installed a fresh new slashsite on RH7.3. I went out and bought Slash by O'Reilly (which is very good). Everything works so far, but I've posted many test comments and stories to my site and have found the following : In my stories page (admin.pl), there are to be two numbers on the right hand side, one for page views and the other for comments. I only have 1 number there and it never updates. It's always says 0. I read in another post (a while back) that this number takes some time to update. I've had my slashsite up and running for about 4 days now and it's not updating. Some friends of my from the outside are posting stories and hitting the box everyday, but no totals are refreshing. My total number of hits and total number of comments are updating (from the var page). I see from the var menu that the last time daily tasks was basically never. How do I force this to run. My site is not running the daily tasks. My site is not generating any log files. The log directory is empty. I'm also having trouble seeing how many comments are posted under the stories. I've seen other slash sites where it says "10 total comments". How do I get that to show up on my site? thanks Kyle |

You have to have the slashd started. It's in /etc/rc.d or something like that.

on the slashd problem, I'm sure I've started slash after I started apache. It's in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/ Here is the output : [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx init.d]# ./slash stop Slashd virtslash has no PID file [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx init.d]# ./slash start Starting slashd virtslash: ok PID = 24442 [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx init.d]# This account is currently not available. [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx init.d]# But then doing some searching, I found slashd under /usr/local/slash/ so I start the slashd and get this error : [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx sbin]# ./slashd DBIx::Password returned *nothing* for virtual user DSN (is the username correct?) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Slash/DB.pm line 46. [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx sbin]# I used the install directions under here http://www.misterorange.com/docs/INSTALL-Slash-For-Dummies.html looks like it rejecting my password. I tried installing the DBI::Password again, filled in all the questions, and still get that error. Kyle -----Original Message----- From: sla...@li...

Well, something isn't installed right. Did you follow the INSTALL in the slash source directory. It is rather easy to follow. Did you install all the PERL modules, IE: install Bundle::Slash?

yes, and while Bundle::Slash was running and installing, it looked like nothing had any errors. While reading the install for dummies document again, says I can run the Bundle::Slash over and over, so I might do just that to make sure it's all installed correctly. The same stuff is in the dummies document that's in the INSTALL document. I'll tackle it some more tomorrow. Thanks for the help... Kyle -----Original Message----- From: sla...@li...

Do a: perl -e shell -MCPAN then install Bundle::CPAN install Bundle::Slash if everything is ok, you'll see that Term::ReadKey and what not are all installed. though it sounds like you didn't install the slash user correctly. If you are getting errors like that, it sounds like you didn't do that right. There needs to be a MYSQL user as well with that name (i think). But follow the INSTALL. Its really a lot easier than it used to be........... Kyle Krieg wrote: >yes, and while Bundle::Slash was running and installing, it looked like >nothing had any errors.

I'm thinking I'm going to reinstall slash with an actual user. I used the nobody account and no group. Also what does the <virtual name> when installing slash by running the following : ./install-slashsite -u <virtual name> where <virtual name> appears can I place the slash user I created?

On <virtual name>: that's the slash virtual user---the same one in DBIx::Password and the one that will be set as SlashVirtualUser in httpd conf files when you install your site. There are 3 "users": 1) The user and group that ones the files and that slashd runs as 2) The database user, that needs permissions to perform operations such as add, delete etc. on the database associated with your slash installation 3) The slash virtual user. This is the user in DBIx::Password that actually connects to the database as the user in #2 and is also the one in your slash's httpd.conf file. Most people set user/group via "make install" and the virtual user either when installing DBIx::Password or manually when adding or changing some of the variables later. I'm no expert on slash--I'm sure I'll be promptly corrected if I'm in err somewhere. I think you can confirm most if not all of this by reading the docs...I'm pretty sure I saw it in there somewhere. (When all else fails check the INSTALL file and see if you missed a step, fwiw/imho.) -mj On Tue, 2 Jul 2002, Kyle Krieg wrote: > I'm thinking I'm going to reinstall slash with an actual user.

By the way, if your curious "perldoc -m DBIx::Password" and "less <slash_path>sites/site_name/site_name.conf" will probably explain a lot. The keys in the hash ref in DBIx::Password are very aptly named. You'll also see your SlashVirtualUser set as a var in your *.conf. I grokked the docs and couldn't find that section on the different "accounts" or "users" in the FAQ. Maybe the docs changed since the last time I looked at 'em. Go figure. -mj > > On Mon, Jul 01, 2002 at 10:36:55PM -0500, Kyle Krieg wrote: > > > [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx init.d]# ./slash start > > > Starting slashd virtslash: ok PID = 24442 > > > [root@adsl-xx.xx.xx init.d]# This account is currently not available. > > > > On Red Hat 7.3, this error probably indicates that slashd is trying to > > run as a user (probably 'nobody') whose shell is set to /sbin/nologin. > > Check your /etc/passwd to find out.

Did you start slashd? On linux these daemons are in /etc/init.d/rc.d/, I believe. (I run my slash on *BSDs and it's been a while since I used Linux so I may have the details wrong). If I were you, I'd re-read the install file that's bundled with slash and make sure you've done everything to get things up and running properly---including making sure your slash daemon is up and doing it's thing. -mj On Mon, 1 Jul 2002, Kyle Krieg wrote: > I was wondering if anybody could help me on this topic. > > I just installed a fresh new slashsite on RH7.3.
