same hiawatha, same config

#21 Post by Dromeno »

I have just compared the hiawatha settings in lucid puppy 528005 (there both pplog and efiabruni's version work) to the situation in carolina. The hiawatha's are the same, the config file is also the same. Same for permissions and the contents of the /root/Web Server folder.

but in carolina I get the internal server error while in lucid it works fine.

???

server error

#22 Post by efiabruni »

Could you run the pe_pplog.pl files in a terminal for me and copy paste the result?

I guess you know how to run a file in a terminal, if not how to:
Open the terminal and type in /..path../to../pe_pplog.pl (In your case it is probably /root/Web-Server/pe_pplog.pl) press enter.

It would give me an idea of what is wrong :)

Possible outputs:
Can't locate... @lib -> either the path of sub.pl or pe_Config.pl is not correct
Bad name after... -> Syntax error in the script
Permission denied -> Permissions

I don't think this works

Hi efiabruni,

Are you sure that is the right command? (see attachement)

output you needed

#25 Post by Dromeno »

ah. I see. "terminal here"(in rox) differs from simply opening a terminal. I didn't know that.


Here is the output of the terminal in Carolina you needed:

compared to lucid

#26 Post by Dromeno »

Hi efiabruni,

as you can see, the line "Use of uninitialized value in..." appears a lot. I think is something there. The reported "possible typos" are not a real problem, the same typos are rported in lucid but there pe plog works.

At first I also got this output:

<h1>Software error:</h1>
<pre>Can't locate ./blog/pe_Config.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /root/Web-Server/pe_pplog.pl line 33.

but adding the correct location of Pe_config.pl in line 33 seems not to be critical either since it works fine in lucid with the (wrong) ./blog/pe_Config.pl instead of /root/Web-Server/blog/pe_Config.pl

re: compared to lucid

#27 Post by efiabruni »

Have you tried running the blog after changing the path to pe_config.pl? "the use of uninitialized value.." warning is fine, these are values used for adding entries etc, which means they are supposed to be empty (for now) :) Your first output is the blog running ok, the second one:
<h1>Software error:</h1>
<pre>Can't locate ./blog/pe_Config.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /root/Web-Server/pe_pplog.pl line 33.
means it can not find the (required) pe_Config.pl file and therefore would get an internal server error. My question is: after changing the path to pe_Config.pl (and I guess also sub.pl) do you still get an error? and if yes, which?

Yes I did. The "500 - Internal Server Error" persists stubbornly...

perhaps it is some specific for Carolina problem?

error redirecting stdout

#29 Post by Dromeno »

One difference between Lucid and Carolina is that Hiawatha gives an error warning in Carolina. When I type hiawatha in the terminal I get the following response:

Warning: error redirecting stdout

can than be the cause?

error redirecting stdout

#30 Post by efiabruni »

Yes, this is a problem, the server does not have permission to write in a system file. Or something like that :)

I googled a bit and tried things out in Carolina, here is the solution, change permission in /dev/null to make it writable for everyone.

After this it was working for me.

#32 Post by efiabruni »

Glad I could help :) There are now pet packages available for the blog (see first post) so there is no need anymore for changing file paths or setting permissions. I also tested in in Carolina and Saluki, but would be grateful for feedback on how it works in other derivatives.

pagekite

#33 Post by Dromeno »

Thanks thanks thanks... Pet works indeed (Carolina). It would be great if you (or somebody else) could make a pagekite pet as well. Last year I used Opera Unite for these kind of things, but they dropped the project.

Of course Opera is not open source either, so not the first choice, but so far they have been producing great tools.

pets for precise and slacko

#36 Post by efiabruni »

I tested the pets for Precise 2.7.1 and Slacko 5.6 and they are not only working fine, but also do not overwrite the inbuilt PPLOG files.

There is also a new theme, with the menu on the bottom of the page:

Upload page

#37 Post by efiabruni »

This is a plugin for the admin page of the blog, a simple upload page. Multiple file uploads are supported in modern browsers, otherwise it is only simple file upload.

The following variables have to be added to pe_Config.pl:

Code: Select all

our @config_uploadFolders = qw(/images /css);
Folder you want to upload to, the script will recognise subfolders and add them automatically (eg, for /images, /images/photos and /images/photos/thums would be added on the upload page to choose from)

Code: Select all

our @config_allowedMime = qw(image/ text/css text/html text/plain);
Allowed mime types, if no file extension is given all for this mime type can be used. As in this example all image files (png, gif, jpg etc.) can be used, but for text files only css, html and plain text files)

For localisation add the highlighted to the language you are using:

our %locale;

$locale {"EN"} = {
upload=>"Upload File",
...
}

in case the pe_pplog version without localisation is used add:

Code: Select all

our $lang = "EN";
our $locale{$lang} = {upload => "Upload File"};

choose locale and choose style option

#38 Post by efiabruni »

This is a diff file for the v2b of the pe_pplog to add a chose style and/or choose language option. A cookie is set to remember the choice.

I had added this to the demo page of the pe_pplog, but do not want to add it as a regular feature.

Adding a calendar

#39 Post by efiabruni »

Adding a calendar to the pe_pplog is quite easy, you can find a how-to here.

Using the same JQuery plugin I also wrote a new archive script replacing the old one with a calendar with click-able links.

Follow the instructions in the post in the link, or use the attached diff file.

The JQuery plugin (not by me) can be downloaded here. Place the files in the /js folder on your server.
Copy and paste the following to "our $config_customHTMLhead" and "our $config_customHTMLadmin" :

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/js/fullcalendar.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/fullcalendar.js"></script>

efiabruni I have your lovely pe_pplog.pl working very nicely locally using localhost on my desktop computer.

My next challenge is to upload it to my web site so others can also access it.

I would like to locate the blog at something like:
http://www.mysite/blog

If I had an index.html or index.php file in the blog directory then the blog would be launched. As the main perl script is named pe_pplug.pl, how do I make this work. I thought it would be as simple as creating a .htaccess file in the blog directory with the contents of:

DirectoryIndex pe_pplog.pl index.html index.php index.htm

but this didn't work.

Should the blog and Web-Server directories be sub directories of the blog directory? or do I put the contents of the blog and Web-Server directory at the blog level directory?

Regards
