perlmonkey2Oh man....this sucks.  I deleted a webgui page that another webgui page was grabbing an RSS feed from.  Now a few hours later the site is crashed and won't come back up.  Mysql won't restart and modproxy.error.log is saying error reading status line from remote server 01:31
perlmonkey2Where does the wre write the mysql error logs to, I don't see them in var/log01:32
perlmonkey2What does this mean when I try to manually start mysql? Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager or server01:36
@preactionare you running the right environment?01:39
perlmonkey2network issues01:46
* perlmonkey2 really really really wishes his client would have went with PB hosting.01:46
perlmonkey2although if you could point me at anything that could help me with WRE backups, I'd appreciate it.  The wiki search didn't return anything.01:47
@preactionyou mean automatic backups using wre/sbin/backup.pl?01:50
-!- Radix-wrk [n=Jesse@203.161.68.67] has joined #webgui02:12
-!- mode/#webgui [+v Radix-wrk] by ChanServ02:12
perlmonkey2preaction: yes.  The backup users doesn't have permissions, and I can't connect to the wre mysql with the mysql CL client.02:27
@preactionso you have a backup user, and in that user's cron you source in the WRE's environment and then run backup.pl?02:29
@preactioni think you have to do it as root probably02:29
perlmonkey2preaction: I am running the wre sbin/backup.pl as root, but the error is that the backup mysql user doesn't have permissions.02:30
perlmonkey2Couldn't connect to MySQL because DBI connect('test;host=localhost;port=3306','backup',...) failed: Access denied for user 'backup'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /data/wre/lib/WRE/Mysql.pm line 9302:30
perlmonkey2 at ./backup.pl line 7902:30
@preactionoh. you might need to set up that user, or use the root user02:30
perlmonkey2I would, but I can not connect to the mysql server with the mysql client.02:30
perlmonkey2Is there something I need to set up to connect to the wre instance of mysqld?02:31
@preactionnot that i know of02:31
@preactionare you getting a permissions denied using the cli client too?02:31
perlmonkey2no, just02:32
perlmonkey2[root@li6-7 etc]# mysql -uwebgui -p02:32
perlmonkey2Enter password: 02:32
perlmonkey2ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)02:32
@preactionyou aren't using the right environment02:32
perlmonkey2DOH!02:32
perlmonkey2arg!02:32
perlmonkey2dumb, stupid perlmonkey202:33
perlmonkey2I beg forgiveness for wasting your time.02:33
@preactioni need someone who isn't a mac fanboi to give an opinion on a Mac Mini02:33
@preactionit's about $1050 to get the one I want, tricked out with power, but i could probably fix my newly-broken computer for a tenth of that02:34
@preactioni'm just tired of dealing with computer hardware02:34
perlmonkey2A Mac Mini sounds cool02:35
@preaction1) Web / Internet 2) DVD / Music 3) Emulators 4) BitTorrent. the only problem is 4 requires massive amounts of hard disk space, which the mini don't have02:35
@preactionthose are the 4 things my tv computer currently does02:35
@preactioni think i should move number 4 out to another, dedicated system02:35
@preactioni've got a computer that's been sitting dead for at least 4 months now, i could resurrect it with the parts from the TV computer02:36
perlmonkey2the mac mini's drive not only is small but it is slow.... at 5400 rpm laptop drive.02:37
@preactioni don't think the mini's designed with high performance in mind02:38
@preactioni think it's single-task oriented02:38
@preactiona mac pro would do the job, but those are even more expensive02:38
perlmonkey2I have a Q6600 4 GB DDR667, 350GB 7200 SATA2, with case for $700.02:40
@preactionyou're selling?02:40
perlmonkey2no02:40
perlmonkey2hah02:40
perlmonkey2That's what I built it for02:41
perlmonkey2It is my main desktop/workstation02:41
@preactioni think i built my TV computer for about that. with twice the storage and half the RAM. $150 on the GFX card itself.02:41
perlmonkey2and that was like last August...things should be cheaper.02:41
@preactionthat's just it though, building computers is boring. maintaining hardware is boring02:42
@preactionand frustrating02:42
perlmonkey2I agree02:42
@preactionjust out of the blue the TV computer (selene) starts a spontaneous reboot cycle02:42
perlmonkey2but a lot cheaper02:42
perlmonkey2suck02:42
@preactioni'm willing to bet it's due to the cooling system dying02:42
perlmonkey2btb, where does the wre write the mysql logs too.  It still wont' start up.02:42
@preactionor the power supply dying02:42
perlmonkey2power is likely02:43
@preactionshould be /data/wre/var/mysqldata/something.err02:43
perlmonkey2cooling is easy to check....does it reboot right afte ryou start it, or after it is working.02:43
@preactionafter it's working for a while, but hasn't finished the initial load. OS gets booted, XP starts and gets into explorer, then before it's done loading components and drivers and such, it bombs02:44
@preactionthen it either gets a little less further next time, or just sits there spinning02:44
perlmonkey2sounds like power02:44
@preactionand the case i have under the TV has a special, tiny power supply... gotta find one of thems...02:45
perlmonkey2Hmm, ./wreservice.pl --start mysql 02:45
perlmonkey2Start MySQL:          FAILED!02:45
perlmonkey2Yet nothing in the mysql.err logs02:45
@preactionnot that, using mysqld_safe or something02:45
@preactionthat wreservice.pl script hides a lot of things02:46
perlmonkey2k, I'll try it directly02:46
@preactionmight be in a log though, /data/wre/var/logs somewhere perhaps02:46
perlmonkey2No, nothing in the logs.02:47
perlmonkey2I'm running tail -f var/logs/* 02:47
perlmonkey2[root@li6-7 mysql]# ./mysql.server start02:47
perlmonkey2Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager or server02:47
@preactionmysql.server is a shell script, right?02:50
perlmonkey2I think it is the actual mysql binary...I'll open it02:50
perlmonkey2oh, sheel02:50
perlmonkey2wife is sick...brb02:51
perlmonkey2I bet this is because I changed the company name .... It went from working fine to a few hours later, not working and no one did anything.03:01
@preactiondoesn't sound like that would screw things up03:02
perlmonkey2But mysql keeps failing to start and there is nothing in the logs03:03
@preactionit says something like "Couldn't find MySQL manager or server", which means that the shell script doesn't know where to look for the mysqld03:04
perlmonkey2but I've ran the setenv script03:04
perlmonkey2I can see the LD env params 03:05
@preactionright, i had this happen to me once, and i don't remember how i fixed it or what was actually wrong03:05
perlmonkey2wow, this really sucks...I've got a client wondering what happened to his site.03:05
@preactioni just remember i looked in that script and echoed out the paths the script got03:06
perlmonkey2I guess I'll tell him he shoul dhave wnet with PB03:06
perlmonkey2k03:06
perlmonkey2I'll try that.03:06
@preactiondid you try running /data/wre/prereqs/bin/mysqld_safe ?03:06
perlmonkey2not yet03:09
perlmonkey2something is horribly wrong.....03:09
@preactionthat's the shell script i was talking about, not the other thing03:09
perlmonkey2okay, finally got the error output: 080210 20:12:42 [ERROR] /data/wre/prereqs/libexec/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid' (Errcode: 2)03:13
perlmonkey2080210 20:12:42 [ERROR] Can't start server: can't create PID file: No such file or directory03:13
perlmonkey2should I create a mysqld directory in /var/run?03:13
perlmonkey2what has happened?03:14
@preactionit shouldn't be trying to do that. you can specify on the command-line what you want the pid file to be i think. somewhere in that shell script is the key03:14
perlmonkey2But hwo would the my.cnf file be changed?03:15
@preactionit wasn't. that script can override the my.cnf file03:15
perlmonkey2wait a second.....there shouldn't be a my.cnf in /etc/03:15
@preactionno, there shouldn't03:16
@preactionit shouldn't be looking for one either. that script shouldn't have any reference to it03:16
perlmonkey2looks like my clients two bit hoster does one of those "reimages" where htey "auto-fix" anything tha tisn't normal.03:16
perlmonkey2removing the /etc/my.cnf fixed it.03:17
@preactionnice03:17
perlmonkey2the wre install isntructions say to copy it to .old03:17
perlmonkey2wow.....maybe it isn't too late for me to get them to move to PB.03:17
@preactionwe have VPS at reasonable rates03:18
perlmonkey2the client didn't go with PB because of disk.03:22
perlmonkey2But if their two bit hoster can't stop playing with the os config files, it wont' matter how much disk they have.03:23
perlmonkey2well this is no good, the root password for mysql isn't working, now that i can connect.03:34
@preactionuhoh03:34
-!- Samus_Aran [n=ILL@about/linux/supportwhirlwind/SamusAran] has joined #WebGUI03:36
perlmonkey2I can reset it, but how did it get changed :D03:36
Samus_Arandoes anyone know why WebGUI might be running in ultra slow motion ?  it is taking an average 5 to 10 seconds to load a page, on an unloaded server with tons of RAM03:37
Samus_Aranthe spectre perl daemon keeps on ending up with hundreds of MiB of RAM used.  and wait state is the main thing that seems to be shooting up in top03:37
Samus_Aranthe apache processes are using little CPU themselves03:37
Samus_AranI am using the latest stable release.  I haven't used WebGUI since version 4.x, which was lightning fast even on an old system, so I'm not too sure what's going on now03:38
perlmonkey2hey, I'm having that exact same problem03:39
perlmonkey2 Does the wre phone home and autoupdate?03:39
Samus_Aranperlmonkey2: hm03:39
Samus_Aranwhat is a wre ?03:40
perlmonkey2webgui runtime environment03:41
Samus_Aranah.  I don't know much about the WRE, as I installed manually.  the server has other web sites and databases on it, so I can't use the WRE03:41
+Radix-wrkSamus_Aran: I'd highly recommend the wre if you want a fast/optimised webgui setup these days03:41
Samus_AranRadix-wrk: we have only one server, and it already runs database and web content.  not sure how the WRE could be usable in such a situation03:42
perlmonkey2Radix-wrk: I'm on my second server meltdown using the wre....never had any problems with source.03:43
Samus_Arandoes anyone know if this ultra sluggy issue is just with the most recent release, or if it has been a problem for people for a while ?  (or is it just me)03:43
+Radix-wrkFair enough - though you may want to look at some of the settings for the wre and how it's set up to get an idea of how to optimise things03:43
perlmonkey2I can't log into the database with root, even though I reset the password03:43
perlmonkey2or at least think I did.03:43
Samus_AranI followed the guide more or less exactly.  it is up and running without visible errors03:43
Samus_Aranbut the spectre script is using huge amounts of RAM, which doesn't seem normal to me.  and there is apparently heavy disk writing, as the IO wait time goes up to 60% for many seconds after I do something on the WebGUI site03:44
Samus_AranI don't mind up or downgrading if it might help03:45
@preactionwhat is spectre spinning its gears on?03:45
Samus_AranI have no content yet ... but it took me ten minutes just to delete a couple items off the menus.  =/03:45
@preactionif you turn off spectre, does the site respond faster?03:45
Samus_Aranpreaction: I thought spectre was required for it to run.  or is it only required for versioning ?  I will most likely not be using versioning on this site, just server backups03:46
Samus_AranI will try closing spectre03:46
@preactionspectre is required for executing workflows and scheduled tasks (which spawn workflows). it's the offline execution engine. 03:46
@preactionthings will work without it, but some things won't happen unless it's running03:46
@preactionlike sending mail03:46
@preactionor committing version tags03:46
Samus_Aranwell, the contact form needs to e-mail the message03:47
Samus_Arandoes that use spectre ?03:47
@preactioneven if you're not using versioning, you may need spectre (if your default workflow is not "Commit Content Immediately")03:47
@preactionyes03:47
@preactionwe're trying to narrow down the list of possible causes here03:47
@preactionso we turn off spectre, and then try loading pages03:47
@preactionwhat kind of system are you running this on? 1Ghz / 1Gig are about the minimum i would attempt to run WebGUI on these days03:48
Samus_AranI did "perl spectre.pl --shutdown" and continued to use the web pages.  it is still the same slow speed03:48
Samus_Arandual 1.6Ghz, 1GiB RAM03:48
@preactionokay. how's vmstat look? are we swapping in and/or out?03:49
Samus_Aranpreaction: that is a pretty sad minimum requirement.  sigh.  I guess I should have researched before trying WebGUI 7.x03:49
@preactionwhy? webgui is huge. and in order to get quicker responses it does a lot of caching, both on-disk and in-memory03:50
Samus_Aranthe Linux kernel caches things very well, caching by the app will only end up swapping to disk03:50
@preactionit caches mysql queries? perl object instanciation?03:51
Samus_Aranfiles03:51
Samus_Aranother PHP code that uses databases on this system is instantaneous.  page loads in under .1 second03:51
Samus_Aranminimum 5 seconds on WeGUI currently, with an average of around 8 seconds03:51
Samus_Aransometimes 20-3003:52
@preactionyou can't compare "other PHP code that uses databases" to "WebGUI". they're entirely different beasts03:52
Samus_Aranalso spectre is often using up 8-10% CPU when no page requests are going on, that seems quite excessive for a background monitoring daemon03:52
@preactionWebGUI has an average of 30 db reads and 1 write per request03:53
@preactionit's not a monitoring daemon, it's an offline execution daemon03:53
Samus_Aranso long as the database is left open, that would still be nearly instantaneous on this system03:53
@preactionit runs things that would cause browsers to time-out or that users don't want to see running03:53
@preactionwhich is why we're troubleshooting, no?03:53
Samus_Aranwhich way do you want me to check the vmstat you asked about ?03:54
@preactioni just wanted to see if your box was swapping. that could cause significant delays and IO wait. are you running webgui in its own apache or alongside mod_php and others?03:55
@preactionyou're using prefork right?03:55
Samus_Aranpreaction: (regarding the multiple database queries, one of the other sites here sometimes has dozens of database queries per hit as well, always under half a second)03:56
Samus_Aranapache you mean ?03:56
Samus_Aranapache2-mpm-prefork is already the newest version.03:57
Samus_Aranthat's what is on there now03:57
Samus_Aranthe server is running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS03:57
Samus_AranApache/2.0.5503:57
@preactionokay. now, you're using PerlRequire /data/WebGUI/sbin/preload.perl right?03:57
@preactionyou're also using Apache2::Reload to make sure the apache processes don't get out of control, right?03:59
Samus_Aranhttp://rafb.net/p/iJzHcV35.txt  << this is the virtual host03:59
Samus_Aran(I replaced the domain name with "foo")03:59
@preactioner.. sizelimit, right. not reload04:00
Samus_Aranhow would I check about Apache2::Reload ?04:00
@preactiondon't worry about it, devs would use it04:00
@preactionbad for production servers04:00
@preactionuhm... WebguiRoot is /data/WebGUI but PerlRequire /var/www/WebGUI/sbin/preload.perl ? where is WebGUI really?04:01
@preactionhow many megs are these apache processes taking up? shouldn't be any more than 80 or 90M04:01
Samus_AranWebGUI is installed to /var/www/WebGUI.  for each place the documentation mentioned a path in a file, I updated it accordingly04:01
Samus_AranApache2::Reload is up to date (0.09).04:02
Samus_Aran(from cpan04:02
Samus_Aran)04:02
@preactionso why PerlSetVar WebguiRoot /data/WebGUI ?04:02
Samus_Aranhttp://rafb.net/p/mh7NHq38.txt  << apache processes04:03
Samus_Aranit is ?  I redid the virtual host at some point after I messed things up, I may have missed it the second time.  *goes to look*04:03
Samus_Aranhow could it run without that being set ?04:04
Samus_AranI have adjusted it now, restarting apache04:04
Samus_AranI have noticed since restarting Apache that the initial apache process, the one run by root that I assume spawns the others, is sitting there using CPU (3-10% average)04:11
Samus_Aranhm04:11
Samus_Aranno change in page loading/editing speed04:12
@preactioni would say the problem is probably that since WebGUI isn't the only thing being done by that apache, it doesn't keep a lot of the WebGUI stuff in-memory (frees space to be used to load other scripts)04:14
@preactionis this a production box? could you test with only webgui vhost on?04:14
@preactioni run the WRE, so i got no clue. but you could run the WRE's mod_perl instance behind your own apache running mod_proxy (much like the WRE does)04:14
Samus_Aranit is a production box, however the organisation is not large, and it only really needs to be functional during weekdays04:15
+Radix-wrkI use the wre, but have a separate apache install for php websites and use the wre's modproxy to do the work04:15
Samus_Aranso I could try something else right now04:15
+Radix-wrkso mod_perl for webgui is on port 81, mod_php on port 82, etc04:16
+Radix-wrkdoes the webgui admin guide have much info on tuning apache/mod_proxy?04:17
@apeironRadix-wrk, So the mod_proxy server receives all the requests on 80, and then forwards internally to 81 or 82, etc., es?04:17
@apeirons/es/yes/04:17
-!- perlmonkey2 [n=perlmonk@wsip-70-164-69-210.ok.ok.cox.net] has quit ["Leaving."]04:17
Samus_AranI am willing to try the WRE in that way.  didn't know it could co-exist with a regular Apache/PHP/Perl/MySQL setup04:19
@preactionyeah. the WRE is two apache instances: one mod_proxy, one mod_perl. i've had a few people forgoe the mod04:20
@preaction_proxy one and just run the mod_perl one04:20
+Radix-wrkthe biggest issue is more with mysql - as it won't co-exist with another instance04:24
+Radix-wrkI switched distro's mysql databases over to the wre one myself, but you can do it the other way if you want too04:25
+Radix-wrkthat's the only hassle with co-existance really though04:25
@preactionyeah, shouldn't matter if you do or do not use the wre's mysql really04:26
@preactionhell. you might be able to get by just by stealing the modperl.conf file out of the WRE and running it with your own apache04:26
@preactionwhether it's the WRE's apache or not shouldn't matter. just give webgui its own dedicated bit of apache + memory (2 processes perhaps)04:27
+Radix-wrkI run my wre on a virtual server with 256mb ram myself - seems to run fine04:28
@preactionhow much cache does mysql have? 300M+?04:28
+Radix-wrkI did tweak the mysql settings down a bit to compensate, but juga.biz is still pretty fast04:28
+Radix-wrkI forget what I actually changed tho :)04:29
+Radix-wrkhttp://webgui.pastebin.com/m715140a5 - that's a copy of my my.cnf file with 256MB ram04:33
Samus_Aranokay.  I was away a bit, back now.04:49
Samus_Aranpreaction: how do you think I should proceed at this point ?04:49
Samus_Arantrying a manual install of the latest beta or using the WRE with my existing setup, or ?04:49
@preactionsee how well webgui runs when it's the only thing on the apache server, probably by making a seperate apache instance that only runs WebGUI (on a different port)04:50
Samus_AranI don't mind turning off Apache/MySQL/etc. for testing04:50
@preactionwell, it's not spectre, you could probably turn that back on04:51
Samus_Aranwill try the WRE in /data/WebGUI then04:51
@preactionwait, what?04:51
Samus_Aranmm ?04:52
Samus_AranI was going to turn off MySQL and Apache and try the WRE by itself, to check perormance04:52
Samus_Aran*performance04:52
@preactionok04:52
Samus_Aranis wre-0.8.1-ubuntu-6_server-ia32.tar.gz the correct file ?04:54
@preactionprobably. are you running a 32-bit cpu?04:54
Samus_Aranyes04:54
Samus_Aranthe install notes have conflicting information about the directory structure underneath /data05:04
-!- nuba [n=nuba@hq.imaterial.org] has quit [Remote closed the connection]05:04
-!- nuba [n=nuba@hq.imaterial.org] has joined #webgui05:04
Samus_Aranthe non-symlink instructions will end up with /data/wre and the symlink instructions will give you /data/wre/wre05:04
Samus_AranI assume with only one "wre" is the correct structure05:04
Samus_Aran"Create your DNS entries (or add entries to /etc/hosts) for the sites you will be using, including the AWStats site."05:06
Samus_Aranwhat is AWStats ?05:06
@preactionit's an apache log analyzer05:07
-!- perlmonkey2 [n=perlmonk@wsip-70-164-69-210.ok.ok.cox.net] has joined #webgui06:43
Samus_Aranpreaction: I was away, back to trying out the WRE now.  I thought it came with its own MySQL ?  it is saying when going through the web based installer that it couldn't connect to a MySQL server06:58
Samus_AranCouldn't connect to MySQL because DBI connect('test;host=localhost;port=3306','root',...) failed06:59
Samus_AranI shut down MySQL and Apache, and renamed the my.conf file, prior to running this installer06:59
@preactionit does, did you start it? are you running the right environment? before working with the WRE stuff you need to source in ". /data/wre/sbin/setenvironment.sh"06:59
@preaction(the space between the . and / is important)07:00
Samus_AranI did "source setenvironment.sh" prior to starting the web installer07:01
Samus_Aranwhich should be the same as .07:02
@preactionwhat does wreservice.pl --ping mysql say?07:02
Samus_AranI have both /data/WebGUI and /data/wre, is that correct ?07:04
Samus_AranPing MySQL:           FAILED!07:05
@preactionthat means the wre's mysql isn't up or can't be reached07:06
Samus_AranI would like to find out why it can't start it07:07
@preactiontry doing "mysqld_safe"07:07
Samus_AranI didn't change any of the MySQL settings other than the passwort07:07
Samus_Aranmysqld_safe from where ?07:07
Samus_Arannevermind, it's in the path after the source environment thing07:09
Samus_Arananyhow, I went back to the other screen, and it has error messages about setting up MySQL.  looking over them now07:09
Samus_AranERROR: 1  Can't create/write to file '/data/wre/var/mysqldata/mysql/db.MYI' (Errcode: 13)07:10
Samus_Aran080210 20:57:49 [ERROR] Aborting                                                                      07:10
Samus_Arannot sure why it couldn't create it07:10
Samus_AranI ran the script as root07:10
@preactiondoes mysqldata/mysql exist?07:11
Samus_Arandrwx------ 2 webgui root 4.0K 2008-02-10 20:57 /data/wre/var/mysqldata/mysql/07:11
Samus_Aranodd permissions, root is the group, but it should ignore the "no write permission"07:12
Samus_Aranany suggestions ?07:14
Samus_AranWhen I run mysqld_safe I get the following:07:20
Samus_AranStarting mysqld daemon with databases from /data/wre/var/mysqldata07:20
Samus_AranSTOPPING server from pid file /data/wre/var/mysqldata/my_hostname.pid07:20
Samus_Aran080210 21:19:37  mysqld ended07:20
Samus_Aranand there are no MySQL processes running07:20
Samus_AranI found an error log file with this in it: [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied07:21
@preactioncheck in /var/mysqldata/*.err07:21
Samus_Aran[ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /data/wre/var/mysqldata/mysql.sock ?07:22
Samus_Aranthat's from that error file you mentioned07:22
Samus_Aranthere are no processes with "my" in it07:22
Samus_Aranin the command name, I mean07:22
Samus_AranI didn't get an answer from you above about the structure of /data.  is there supposed to be /data/wre or /data/wre/wre ?  and should there be a /data/WebGUI directory as well ?07:24
Samus_Aranthe documentation has errors in it regarding this07:24
-!- preaction_ [n=doug@static-72-1-4-143.ntd.net] has joined #webgui07:26
-!- mode/#webgui [+o preaction_] by ChanServ07:26
@preaction_it should be /data/wre and /data/WebGUI. no /data/wre/wre07:28
Samus_Aranis there some way to track down why it thinks that it has already started its MySQL server ?07:30
Samus_Aranlooked through the running processes and see the previous spectre.pl still running.  closed that now07:32
Samus_Aranmade no difference07:33
Samus_AranI just realised that /data/wre/var/mysqldata/mysql.sock does not exist07:35
Samus_Aranit's not that something else is using it, it was just never created07:35
* Samus_Aran sighs07:37
Samus_Aranstarting over07:39
-!- preaction [n=doug@static-72-1-4-143.ntd.net] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)]07:41
Samus_Aranthe web installer asks for a MySQL username and password.  I changed the password, and then it doesn't work.  it works with the default password07:45
Samus_Aranwhy does it give you the option to change the password if it is not going to be using it ?07:46
@preaction_the error that happened about starting the server probably caused the wreconsole to not update the password07:46
@preaction_it has to be able to start the mysqld in order to change the password07:46
Samus_Aranbut the only change I made was this time not changing the password -- and then MySQL started fine07:47
@preaction_mysql doesn't need a password to start07:47
@preaction_who knows what happened, the point is you could change that password now if you wanted to07:48
Samus_Aranthere is nowhere in the web interface that I see to change the password, only the setup07:52
Samus_Aranwhen I click on Spectre in the list of services tab, it says starting, and then goes back to a [Start] button07:55
Samus_Aranno errors07:55
Samus_Aranthe other services started07:55
Samus_Aransorry, there was an error, just couldn't see it, it was so small: "Spectre did not start successfully.07:56
Samus_Aran"07:56
Samus_Aran"to_json" is not exported by the JSON module                                                          07:56
Samus_AranCan't continue after import errors at ../lib/Spectre/Cron.pm line 2207:56
Samus_Aransigh.  I can't add a site using the web interface.  I don't know the MySQL password07:59
Samus_AranI thought it was qwe12307:59
Samus_Aran123qwe ...08:03
Samus_Arananyhow, the WRE's Spectre is broken08:08
Samus_Aranit has issues with its own Perl modules08:08
Samus_Aranassuming that the JSON thing is part of the WRE08:08
Samus_Aranwhen I try to connect to the new WebGUI site I get: Bad Gateway - The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.08:09
+Radix-wrkthe mysql password is specified when you first installed the wre08:13
Samus_AranI know, but it wouldn't let me change it, so I used the default, which I didn't remember08:13
Samus_Aranthis is an absolute nightmare to set up compared to WebGUI 4.x08:14
-!- preaction__ [n=doug@static-72-1-4-143.ntd.net] has joined #webgui08:14
+Radix-wrkagreed - though admittedly it's changed hugely since version 4 too08:14
Samus_Aranall of the UI changes I have seen thus far I find to be far worse08:14
-!- preaction_ [n=doug@static-72-1-4-143.ntd.net] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)]08:14
+Radix-wrkthat said.. I've had no problems installing a wre system out of the box within 10 minutes in the past08:14
Samus_Aranon the old versions it was clear to a new user where to go to get things done08:15
Samus_Arannow the menus are utterly confusing08:15
Samus_Aransomething as simple as adding a content item to a page is confusing08:15
+Radix-wrkwhy?08:15
+Radix-wrkit's pretty easy.. click new content on the left, and select what object you want08:15
Samus_Aranthe UI says it is adding a new page when you do that08:16
+Radix-wrkeverything is a "page" in webgui08:16
+Radix-wrkevery object has it's own url08:17
preaction__version 5 added the "asset" system, no?08:17
preaction__or was it 6.x series?08:17
preaction__there have been so many changes, Samus_Aran, you may as well treat it as an entirely different system08:17
Samus_AranI'm talking about a section on a page.  the things you drag around08:17
preaction__they are pages too08:18
preaction__they have urls08:18
Samus_Arana column or section08:18
preaction__you can go to just them08:18
Samus_Aranwell that is extremely messed up08:18
preaction__and that is an extremely obtuse opinion08:18
+Radix-wrkActually I tend to agree there to a certain extent.. I wish pages were the only thing that had urls08:18
+Radix-wrkbut that said, it's never really bothered me08:19
Samus_Aranit is entirely counter-intuitive08:19
preaction__only container assets?08:19
+Radix-wrkI just don't care what urls objects have, as long as my pages have the urls I want08:19
preaction__so message boards, page layouts, and wikis08:19
+Radix-wrkthey're the only ones that appear in navigation items anyway08:19
preaction__but how do you get to a wiki page then?08:19
preaction__myWikiUrl?node=something?08:19
preaction__that's ugly08:20
preaction__how do you get to a forum post? myMessageBoard?collab=id;thread=id;post=id?08:20
preaction__that's better than myMessageBoard/collab/thread/post?08:20
+Radix-wrkI think of pages, forums, etc as containers08:20
preaction__what if i think of a thread as a container? do i lose out?08:21
preaction__is a calendar a container or can their event be containers too?08:21
+Radix-wrkwell I find it all pretty confusing actually :)08:21
preaction__i agree it can be counter-intuitive, even backwards, but everything in the system has a URL, no matter what08:22
preaction__would you prefer a query string or something friendly?08:22
preaction__bonus: we don't use mod_rewrite to do it08:22
Samus_AranI am considering going back to 4.x.  It worked, was fast and did the things I needed it to do08:23
preaction__4.x even still works as a CGI, instead of mod_perl08:24
+Radix-wrkSamus_Aran: that's a shame - there's a lot to love in the new versions imho08:24
+Radix-wrkversion control for one08:25
+Radix-wrkdepends what you're after though I guess08:25
Samus_Aranversion control is another example of how confusing WebGUI 7.xi s08:30
Samus_Aran*7.x is08:30
Samus_AranI tried to use it and immediately the whole site was destroyed08:30
Samus_Arandidn't even have a template08:30
preaction__buy the content manager's guide perhaps?08:30
Samus_AranI shouldn't have to purchase a book to use an open source product.  WebGUI 4.x was easy to use with the help at the time08:31
preaction__Samus_Aran, then keep pushing on, eventually you'll understand it08:31
Samus_Aranand I would have to justify the book purchase and it would take at least a week08:31
preaction__you don't need to purchase the book, it just makes it easier08:31
Samus_AranI don't have a week to sit on my hands08:31
Samus_AranI would find a versioning system the same as a Wiki quite useful.  WebGUI seems to use some other strange system08:33
Samus_Aranplus there is no description of how to use it from the actual page.  I clicked on the first item in the list and it promptly destroyed the whole WebGUI install08:34
preaction__no, it didn't. unless you clicked a big red X 08:35
Samus_AranI believe it reverted to a pre-install state08:35
Samus_AranI was trying to reset some changes I had done, to see how it worked08:36
preaction__and i don't believe you. any deleting of a version tag or any content pops up a javascript alert box saying "Are you sure?"08:36
Samus_Aranbut it erased everything, including the template08:36
Samus_Aranthe site wasjust white after that08:36
Samus_Aran*was jsut08:36
Samus_Aran*just08:36
preaction__so you had rollback version tag?08:36
preaction__the current one, the Autotag for Admin?08:36
Samus_Aranthere was one item in a list, I clicked on rollback, assuming it would rollback to the base-install time08:36
Samus_Aranor whatever the feature is that I thought was a rollback08:37
preaction__what list? what item? under the Version Tags icon of the Admin Console?08:37
Samus_AranI am not sure from my memory08:37
Samus_AranI can't even load the WRE version of WebGUI08:37
Samus_AranBad Gateway08:37
preaction__the white page was probably the URL you were on disappearing, since you deleted the content08:37
Samus_AranThe proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.08:37
Samus_Aranit still had a basic menu, but there was no longer any template08:38
preaction__means the proxied server isn't running. the proxy can't reach the server it's trying to reach08:38
preaction__so there was a menu on the left side with a list of a bunch of stuff, right?08:38
preaction__plus maybe a list in the larger area on the right perhaps?08:38
Samus_AranI am talking about clicking on something about versioning on the left administrator menu, then on the right page that loads, choosing the only version listed, then telling it to use that one08:39
Samus_Aranand it proceeding (after the JS warning) to erase everything08:39
Samus_Aranwhat sort of performance can be expected from a WebGUI install that is actually working properly ?08:40
Samus_Aranon WebGUI 4.x on a crappy old computer running Debian where I was testing it, it ran extremely fast with 8-10 users08:41
preaction__we run 50-60 webgui sites on 2x2.4Ghz / 4G servers running CentOS 508:41
preaction__we run servers with 30,000+ registered users on one of those boxes, dedicated08:41
Samus_Aranthis was back in 2002 or 2001 I think.  whenever 4.x was around08:41
preaction__load stays less than 0.5, response times for a 300kB page are around 10 seconds08:42
+Radix-wrkyou seen demo.plainblack.com?08:42
Samus_Aranare you saying you dedicate a dual 2.4Ghz system to 1 site ?  or 50-60 sites ?08:42
Samus_Aranyes, I have used the demo08:42
+Radix-wrk50-60 sites08:42
preaction__we've got one box with 80 sites, and that stays at about 2 load. we dont' monitor that one anymore (the owner was told of the consequences of having more than 70 sites)08:42
preaction__both. 1 site with 30,000+ registered users08:43
preaction__and 50-60 smaller sites08:43
Samus_Aran10 seconds response time for LAN access is ludicrous08:43
preaction__i'm talking internet08:43
preaction__i don't live in the datacenter08:43
preaction__i have DSL. 100kB/s when i'm not using it for other purposes08:44
Samus_AranI mean, we will be updating and using the site on a LAN.  300KiB in 10 seconds is only 30KiB/sec, which I assume you have way more bandwidth than that08:44
Samus_Aranso the bottleneck is CPU08:44
Samus_Aranor disk access08:44
preaction__if there was a CPU bottleneck, the load would be far higher than .508:44
Samus_Araneven our basic business DSL account gets use 60KiB/sec upstream08:44
Samus_Aran*gets us08:44
preaction__okay. we must be talking two different languages here08:45
Samus_Aranso why then does it take 10 seconds to load a page ?08:45
preaction__I... Me personally... do not live anywhere near the datacenter we use08:45
Samus_Arando you have broadband ?08:45
Samus_Aranif so, it should make no difference08:45
preaction__I... Me personally... at my home... have a crappy DSL connection that is being 75% used by bittorrent at all time.08:45
+Radix-wrkour webgui server is a 3GHz P4 with 1GB ram - that runs a website with about 9300 users (who access it rarely) and over 5200 assets and it's on our lan and I usually get a page in a second or two at most.08:46
preaction__i will load the site i am talking about right now and report on the time it takes08:46
+Radix-wrkthat's our website, intranet, extranet, users account server, all in one08:46
Samus_AranI would like to find out why my manual install of WebGUI was going in slow motion on an otherwise unloaded server08:47
Samus_Aranif you're saying it should now be that way08:47
Samus_Aranbut I would also like to know why spectre was using hundreds and hundreds of megs of RAM08:47
preaction__if you want support, plain black offers ad hoc login support at reasonable rates08:47
Samus_Aranand the apache threads were using almost 100MiB each08:47
preaction__i've explained the apache threads to you already: mod_perl, WebGUI, mod_php, etc... all take up memory08:48
preaction__the reason we use Apache2::SizeLimit is because mod_perl doesn't seem to like cleaning up after itself. apache also, because it kills its own children after so many connections / so much time08:48
preaction__Apache2::SizeLimit is just more efficient and more configurable about how the processes die08:49
Samus_Aranwhat is an empty WebGUI site doing that requires more than half a gig of RAM ?08:49
Samus_Aranmy fresh install was using around 650MiB RAM in total08:50
preaction__it's not half a gig. WebGUI before it forks (mpm_prefork) takes about 70M (that's apache process + perl code + memory cache)08:50
preaction__70M per process08:50
preaction__* 5 processes (apache's default StartServers)08:50
Samus_Aranand 350MiB for spectre08:50
preaction__350M08:50
preaction__spectre grows slowly, usually due to errors talking to WebGUI08:51
Samus_Aranit had only been running, idle, for 2.5 days08:51
Samus_AranI worked on it on Thursday08:52
Samus_Aranand then again now on Sunday08:52
Samus_Aranif it keeps growing, how does a hosted WebGUI server manage to not constantly run out of RAM ?08:52
Samus_Arancronjobs to kill and restart the service constantly ?08:53
+Radix-wrkspectre is using 20mb on my server and 58-68mb for each apache process08:53

Samus_Aranand I can't connect to the WebGUI site I added, with the above proxy error08:59
+Radix-wrkthere's some stuff in gotchas.txt about JSON I seem to recall09:00
* Samus_Aran goes to look09:00
preaction__the 0.8.1 WRE needs updated JSON and Config::JSON. this will be fixed in WRE 0.8.209:00
+Radix-wrkstable version of webgui doesn't like newest version of JSON - and new 7.5.1 version fixes it or something09:00
preaction__no. latest stable (7.4.22) and latest beta (7.5.1) both need JSON 2.04 and Config::JSON 1.1.409:01
Samus_Aran"to_json" is not exported by the JSON module09:01
Samus_AranCan't continue after import errors at ../lib/Spectre/Cron.pm line 2209:01
Samus_Aranis the error09:01
+Radix-wrkrun testEnvironment.pl09:01
preaction__won't work. you need to force install Config::JSON09:02
Samus_AranConfig::JSON is up to date (1.1.4).09:02
Samus_Aranwhen I did the manual install, testEnvironment.pl found every module it checked, other than one which it would always say it didn't find, even though it was installed09:03
Samus_Aranthough I thought the WRE contained the complete Perl environment ?09:03
preaction__spectre is being run under the WRE? you're running testEnvironment.pl under the WRE's environment? what does echo $PATH say?09:03
Samus_AranI haven't run testEnvironment.pl from the WRE09:03
preaction__did you run cpan from the WRE's environment?09:04
Samus_Aranyou mean the all-in-one WRE is distributed broken ?09:04
Samus_Aranthat rather defeats the purpose of an all-in-one download with all the servers09:05
+Radix-wrkit just needs a few updated perl modules for the newer versions that've come out since it was released09:05
Samus_AranI am updating the modules using the testEnvironment.pl script.  hopefully that will place the modules in the correct perl09:07
preaction__it only will if you tell it to09:08
Samus_Aranwhat do you mean ?09:08
preaction__it will put the modules in the correct place for the perl that is running09:08
Samus_Aranthe perl that is running is whatever perl the testEnvironment.pl script launched09:09
+Radix-wrkyou need to use ". /data/wre/sbin/setenvironment"09:09

Samus_AranConfig::JSON is up to date.09:21
Samus_Aranso if cpan doesn't have it, how do I get 1.1.2 as needed ?09:21
preaction__you want 1.1.4. cpan does have it. you need to force install it09:22
+Radix-wrkI think it might be a bug in 1.1.1 - it reports itself as 1.1.4 or something09:24
Samus_Aranokay, done09:24
Samus_Aranonly one not OK now is:09:25
Samus_AranChecking for module Graphics::Magick:             Not Installed, but it's optional anyway             09:25
Samus_AranI would like that to be installed, but it doesn't seem to have a cpan listing.  I installed it through Ubuntu09:25
preaction__you want image::magic, not graphics::magick09:25
Samus_AranI think it requires a full ImageMagick to be installed09:26
Samus_Aranimage::magic or magick ?09:26
preaction__magick09:26
Samus_AranImage::Magick is up to date.09:26
preaction__so you're fine09:26
Samus_Aranwhen I did the manual install, I got Graphics::Magick installed, so that the testEnvironment.pl script gave it an OK09:27
Samus_Aranare you saying the script is checking for something that is not used ?09:27
preaction__that's the "but it's optional anyway" part09:27
+Radix-wrkGraphics::Magick was added for FreeBSD I seem to recall.. which had problems with imagemagick09:27
Samus_AranI would like all features to be available, is what I mean09:28
preaction__yah, but apeiron got IM compiling under WRE for FreeBSD so we don't need GM anymore09:28
Samus_Arane.g. Aspell is also optional, but I installed it09:28
+Radix-wrkyou won't need it09:28
Samus_Aranokay, thank you09:28
preaction__it uses one or the other, not both. if you have IM, it uses that. otherwise it tries to use GM. if it doesn't find either, it dies09:28
Samus_Aranokay, everything seems to be working now.  Spectre started successfully09:29
Samus_AranI still get the other error when trying to access the domain, though:09:29
Samus_AranBad Gateway09:29
Samus_AranThe proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.09:29
preaction__as i said before: it means that the proxy server can't connect to the server it's supposed to be proxy for09:30
Samus_Aranisn't the server it is supposed to connect to the apache running in the WRE ?09:30
preaction__is the modperl server running?09:31
Samus_Aranwhich is running on the default ports during the install09:31
Samus_Araneverything is running now09:31
preaction__did you add any sites?09:31
Samus_AranMySQL, Apache Modperl, Apache Modproxy, Spectre, WRE Console09:31
Samus_AranI added one site09:31

Samus_Aranwhich seems quite wrong09:40
Samus_Aranjoe.mysite.com should not automatically show up at mysite.com09:41
preaction__submit an RFE09:41
Samus_Aranthat defeats the whole purpose of sub-domains09:41
Samus_Aranperhaps if the subdomain is "www" then it would be an alright default09:41
Samus_Aranthough a redirect is the proper way to handle that, not a ServerAlias09:41
Samus_AranServerAlias's should pretty much not ever be used09:42
Samus_Aranotherwise Google and such will end up with two copies of the site09:42
Samus_Aranpreaction__: to your question, I am on 7.4.2209:44
Samus_Araner, I think I am.  I was when I manually installed it09:44
Samus_Arannow I'm on whatever the WRE installed09:45
Samus_AranI didn't see it mentioned09:45
Samus_Aranis the mod proxy on 8081 allow access from anywhere, or just LAN ?09:45
Samus_Aranand would I use the foo-server name or the domain name ?09:46
Samus_AranI am working remotely.  I did an SSH tunnel to access the foo-server:60834 at work09:47
Samus_Aranwould I need a similar tunnel for 8081, or should going to the domain name (which has proper DNS to the computer in question) be enough ?09:47
preaction__it's meant to allow access from the box itself, localhost. not sure what your firewall allows09:52
-!- Radix-wrk [n=Jesse@203.161.68.67] has quit ["Leaving"]09:56
Samus_AranI mean should I be able to access it using foobar.com:8081 ?09:59
Samus_AranI can not currently09:59
Samus_Aranand yes, foobar.com's DNS does point to the appropriate IP and it is forwarded to the server in question10:00
Samus_Aranor is it10:00

Samus_Aranokay, forwarded a port manually and now I get to a login when going to the 8081 prot10:08

Samus_Aranhow can I fix the proxy so that I get to the site setup thing not on port 8081 ?10:09

perlmonkey2I have 4 users, root, test, backup and ''18:19
perlmonkey2oh....no it is a random string...I'm guessing tha tis the webgui user.18:20
perlmonkey2nm :)18:20
@preactioneach site has its own db user, which the wre system creates with that random string18:22
perlmonkey2Do these start up wre log errors look fatal or abnormal? http://pastebin.com/d36421f8518:25
BartJolyou can find it in your config18:25
BartJolsorry, i should mind my own business18:25
perlmonkey2BartJol: ??? why?  I appreciate anyone's help18:26
BartJolyeah, but i'm only confusing you right now18:26
perlmonkey2No, I know what you mean.  18:26
BartJolby using the wre, you create a config, so you can't look it up18:26
perlmonkey2It's in the Webgui/etc/.conf :)18:27
BartJolyeah that one :)18:27
BartJolbut dies anyone here now a thing or two about scratch variables?18:27
perlmonkey2I'm on like hour 10 of trying to figure out why when webgui starts it creates 400 or so localhost tproxy connections, and would try to make more, but for os limits.18:28
BartJoldoes not dies18:28
perlmonkey2BartJol: I dream of the day when I can quit my job and learn all about webgui.18:28
BartJolwell, I'm allowed to spend a couple of hours a week programming18:29
BartJolfor my amusement and learning curve18:29
BartJolbut about the connections, I'm afraid I don't know18:30
perlmonkey2completely driving me insane...the error logs are worthless.18:30
perlmonkey2Is this a bad thing to see in the wre error logs: Compilation failed in require at /data/WebGUI/sbin/preload.perl line 72.18:36
BartJolwell18:37
BartJolnot really18:37
perlmonkey2I just don't get it......everything was working fine.  Nothing changed, but all of a sudden it wasn't.18:37
BartJolmostly a script that is handled by perl and has some strange mistakes in them can give that18:38
perlmonkey2the wre doesn't auto-update does it?18:38
BartJolnop[e18:38
BartJolyou did do " .setenvironment.pl"18:38
BartJoli suppose18:39
perlmonkey2yes18:39
perlmonkey2every time I'm starting something I do that.18:39
BartJolcan't do that often enough it seems18:39
perlmonkey2heh, my path is like 400 lines long now I'v ran it so much.18:40
BartJolbut does the log also refer to another script?18:41
perlmonkey2?18:41
BartJolor does your modperl log say something about it18:41
perlmonkey2that is the error log for mod_perl18:41
perlmonkey2just I'll relook18:41
BartJolah, darn18:41
@preactionyou might want to try running preload.perl by itself quick18:41
perlmonkey2BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/WebGUI/lib/WebGUI/Asset/File/Image/Photo.pm line 21.18:42
perlmonkey2Compilation failed in require at /data/WebGUI/sbin/preload.perl line 72.18:42

perlmonkey2okay preaction I"ll try that.18:42
@preactionha18:42
@preactionImage::ExifTool <- you're missing that i think18:42
@preactionwhen you see BEGIN failed -- compilation aborted, try doing a: cd /data/WebGUI/lib; perl -c WebGUI/Asset/File/Image/Photo.pm18:43
@preactionthat'll show you the real error18:43
perlmonkey2I'm missing a lot of files18:44
perlmonkey2I get a lot of those.18:44
perlmonkey2Can't locate Image/ExifTool.pm18:44
@preactionwhich means you're missing that perl module18:44
perlmonkey2Actually , if no one complains about the spam:18:45

perlmonkey2preaction: But how could I be missing it, if I'm using the wre?18:45
@preactionit's a new requirement18:45
@preactionafter 0.8.1 was released18:45
perlmonkey2I'm just not sure how I got a version of webgui tha tneeds something the wre didn't supply.  and why it worked for a long time then stopped working.18:46
perlmonkey2Should I update the wre?18:46
@preactionthere is no 0.8.218:46
perlmonkey2wreupgrade.pl18:46
perlmonkey2oh.18:46
perlmonkey2ah.18:46
perlmonkey2so the wre is broken?18:47
perlmonkey2and somehow I got an update of webgui that needs something that the wre doesn't have?18:47
@preactionno. it's just missing some new developments in WebGUI18:47
perlmonkey2oh...so this isn't the fatal issue I'm having?18:47
@preactionthis is the fatal issue you're having. even the WRE's installation instructions suggest running testEnvironment.pl18:48
* perlmonkey2 has soooo much to learn about WebGUI.18:48
* perlmonkey2 has money if you have a WG dev guide beta book :D18:50
@preactiondev guide doesn't cover this stuff. this is admin guide stuff18:50
@preactiondev guide covers coding and API18:51
perlmonkey2yeah, something I would have instantly caught if I wasn't useing the WRE.18:51
perlmonkey2I just assumed that there could not be any perl lib issues with the WRE.18:51
@preactionyou could probably post a bug as a reminder to JT to include that module in the WRE 0.8.2 when he's ready18:51
perlmonkey2there are like 518:51
perlmonkey2modules that failed18:52
@preactionArchive::Any, Image::ExifTool, are the two i know of18:52
perlmonkey2oh18:52
perlmonkey2those are the two I have18:52
@preactionthose are the two i added for the Gallery18:53
perlmonkey2with broken cpan requirements trees18:53
perlmonkey2thanks :D18:53
@preactionthe updated JSON and Config::JSON, but i think there's already a bug out there about those18:53
perlmonkey2yeah, that seems fixed.18:53
perlmonkey2I just don't get how it worked on my system, then stopped working without an upgrade or anything.18:53
* perlmonkey2 just realized he's updating perl in /usr/lib instead of /dat18:54

perlmonkey2preaction: that didn't fix things, but it made the error logs a lot cleaner: http://pastebin.com/d12e825f918:57
@preactionif your server reached MaxClients, with no users, you have a problem. modperl's httpd.conf is at /data/wre/etc/modperl.conf18:58
perlmonkey2that error log is associated with about 400 tproxy localhost connections creating and dieing as fast as the OS can do it.18:58
nubasounds like fun..                  not.18:59
perlmonkey2hah......more than mere words can express :)18:59
nubaperlmonkey2: you can add something like this to setenv: export PS1="now im setenv'ed - $PS1"19:01
perlmonkey2nuba: I know I have the env correct.  But I manually ran preload.perl and got this: Starting WebGUI 7.5.019:02
perlmonkey2Can't locate object method "server" via package "Apache2::ServerUtil" at preload.perl line 80.19:02
perlmonkey2is that just because I'm running it manually?19:02
+perlDreameryeah19:02
perlmonkey2the modperl.conf looks completely normal.  I just wish there was some sort of error output for what is going on.19:03
nubai suppose you have enabled more verbose logging for apache?19:03
perlmonkey2nope...thanks I'll look up how to do that :)19:04
nubaif not thats a way to troubleshooting19:04
nubarun a single apache instance as well19:04
nubaenable mod_status19:04
nubalet me see..19:04
BartJolhi perldreamer19:06
nubai have modperl.error.log and modproxy.error.log on /data/wre/prereqs/apache/logs19:06
+perlDreamerYo, BartJol19:06
BartJolmy macro works19:06
+perlDreamerAwesome!19:06
nubathats 0.7 wWRE19:06
BartJolnow I have to extend it, because it works on every reload i believe19:06
+perlDreamerhuh?19:06
BartJolthat's a bit to much, so, i will incoporate a scratch variable19:06
perlmonkey2nuba: that tree doens't exist in 8.1.  I'll see if I can find where apache is now.19:06
BartJolyou mean it is cached?19:07
nubayou can try "find /data/wre -name modperl.error.log"19:07
+perlDreamerIf you have admin mode turned on, caching is disabled.19:08
+perlDreamerBut then it would transfer karma on every page load19:08
+perlDreamerso a scratch variables could be good.19:08
BartJolyeah, and if the session is longer than the cache time out, it also runs too often19:08
BartJoland 1 more thing, it should not work when the current user is also the owner of an object19:09
perlmonkey2nuba: I ran from wre/ find . -depth|grep .log$ and no appache.error.log showed up.  Only var/logs with modproxy and modperl19:09
+perlDreamerthat's pretty easy to detect19:09
BartJolI know19:10
BartJolsomething like WebGUI::Session->getUserId19:10

BartJolotherwise it is a bit of a roadmap talk19:23
@preactioni think that's why rizen is offline presently, besides the convention he was just at19:24
+perlDreamerWell, I think the new commerce idea of basing all currency on the rupee is wrong.19:24
@preactionWDK and Commerce are his two goals for the next couple months19:24
+perlDreamerIt's pretty stable wrt the dollar and the Euro, but still.19:24

@preactioni don't want to give up any either19:33
@preactionthere's no Thingy API? there's no way to plug-in different kinds of handlers or something?19:33
@apeironJT said to me in email "There's no pluggable API for thingy".19:35
@apeironThis was after I said I didn't want to give up that talk. :)19:35
@preactiondamn...19:35
@preactionwho knows, maybe it won't need one19:36
@preactionbut technically there's no pluggable API for the Gallery currently. you have to edit the Gallery itself to plug-in a new File type19:36

+perlDreamerhttps://webwork.maa.org/moodle/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=571720:29
perlmonkey2perlDreamer: You see what I said above?  I was running the test suites as root.20:30
perlmonkey2which is a big nono20:31
perlmonkey2my own fault20:31
perlmonkey2but all the libs are built now.  So I can move my wre install to a source install and see if the network issues continue.20:31
perlmonkey2what is funny is the way I'm having to do the mp3 rss feed for the client, it would have worked the same if we had used PB hosting and a 5/month hoster for disk, and about $10/month cheaper.20:32
@preactionpb does offer disk space upgrades. they should be in the store20:38
perlmonkey2They found some hoster that gave 100GB for $7.99/month or some such.20:39
perlmonkey2and most of the VPS's they wanted gave 15GB to 20GB for $30-$40/month.20:39
perlmonkey2I really wish I could offload this project onto PlainBlack :D20:40
nubaperlmonkey2: i just tried some cheapass hosting which gave me 120GB/8.99/mo20:41
nubawhere i was dumping my backups20:41
nubanext thing is they block the account a couple of weeks afterwards, saying that it goes against their TOS20:42
perlmonkey2nuba: My plan was an XML::RSS daemon on the cheapass server up the mp3/video to the WG server.20:42
perlmonkey2nuba: yeah, what I was figuring.20:42
perlmonkey2no one gives that much disk away20:42
nubai somehow talked my way out of that and told them I planned to serve these "machine snapshots" to my friends20:42
nubain a website20:42
perlmonkey2sucker you in with lies and then it is too painful to leave.20:42
nubaas of yet, its still on, that was a couple of months ago20:43
nubaI told them I was just the sysadmin, and the user was another guy, and that I would forward the warning but "please send me the part of your TOS with the wording that says I cant do that"20:44
nubai never heard back from them with the wording20:44
nubachecked the TOS myself, found nothing20:44
nubaso all ok until now, of course they can just change the TOS and ruin the party if they want to20:44

perlmonkey2hah, I think I know what is going on.20:55
perlmonkey2this is classic20:55
perlmonkey2the rss feed on the front page is grabbing an rss producing collab object on another page.  That collab object is now gone.20:55
nubagremlins?20:55
perlmonkey2but the rss feed is hammering the server trying to get that feed20:56
perlmonkey2that just makes me sad20:56
nubaisnt that a bug?20:56
perlmonkey2a huge one20:56
perlmonkey2that has wasted maybe 24 solid hours of my time I didn't have to waste.20:57
nubahammering the server until it gets the feed it wants20:57
perlmonkey2I'm not 100% sure that is the problme20:57
perlmonkey2but once I commit the removal of the rss feed, I'll know for sure.20:57
perlmonkey2if I can get to the commit page.20:57
+perlDreamerperlmonkey2: iirc, Spectre does the RSS prefetch20:58
+perlDreamerso disabling that workflow may immediatly reduce your load20:59
perlmonkey2spectre isn't running ....20:59
perlmonkey2I'll try to commit the changes which remove the rss feed and then disable that workflow20:59
perlmonkey2do workflows do anything when spectre isn't running?21:01
+perlDreamerthey shouldn't21:01
perlmonkey2would it be the EMS Precache?21:01
@preactiondo you have a Syndicated Content wobject? if there is no RSS prefetch, then the SC asset tries to do i t21:02
@preactionworkflows can run without spectre. spectre just tips them off. WebGUI does the real work21:02
perlmonkey2yes21:02
+perlDreamerit's the GetSyndicatedContent Workflow activity that prefetches RSS21:03
perlmonkey2that has to be what is happening.21:03

-!- SDuensin_ is now known as SDuensin21:26
BartJolone for always is also possible, but then I have to store it somewhere21:26
BartJolin the db21:26
BartJolthat would be a disc consuming business21:27
@preactionsession->scratch is cleaned up when the session is cleaned up21:27
BartJolI know, but that is no really objection to me21:27
* perlDreamer lunches21:27
nubaBartJol: you need to keep track of it in the cookie?21:28
BartJolno, in a session21:28
nubaBartJol: would storing a row with (date, userid, pageurl) in a DB work for you?21:28
BartJolwell, only when it's done when my macro is axecuted, not on page loading21:29
nubayou could regularly expire old records21:29
nubaand its simple to do that with a macro21:29
BartJolcan it be done within the api?21:30
BartJolI rather not do it by writuing directly into the db21:30
BartJolthen I may have to reprogram it for a new version21:31
BartJolyou know what my macro is doing?21:32
nubawell I wold create another DB instead of using WebGUI's21:32
nubaand there, create a table21:32
nubathen theres this, i dont know what you want to do with this data21:32
BartJolwell21:32
nubaif you use your DB, your table, your SQL queries wont change21:33
BartJolit's an AddKarma macro, to be executed within a template21:33
nubaunless you change your DB schema21:33
BartJolI'll keep it in mind21:33
BartJolthanks21:33
nubaso you wont have to change it every time WebGUI is released21:33
nubawith a change in the DB21:33
BartJolbut it should give karma to the owner of an asset when it's visted21:34
BartJoland I want to implement, that it is possible only once per session21:35
BartJolfor one asset21:35
nubaso you want the macro to know what asset it is being called from?21:35
BartJolso I'd like to store the url, so it can check whether the asset is already visited21:35
BartJolyes, but that part is already working21:36
BartJolthe url (or in the future you can also choose the Id) is given with the macro by a tmpl_var21:37
nubasounds interesting. would be great if there was a "run on session expire" feature in webgui.21:37
nubalike event handlers21:38
BartJolbut maybe I should also build a choice that it is only possible once per asset revision or asset21:38
BartJolbut a db creation is quite usefull, especially for the last option21:40
BartJolwill be difficult to check revisions21:40
BartJoland i also have to keep the user visitor in mind21:42
nubayou can store the session hash as well21:42

@khennjust make sure you are running WebGUI 7.4.2221:58

@apeironHmm, if memory serves that's a warning not an error, yes? The "'jsonToObj will be obsoleted'"21:58
BartJolwith emphasise on try21:59
nubaanother good one for the topic: "Something broke? Did you check docs/gotcha.txt?"21:59
@khennyes , it's a warning21:59
@khennnothing breaks21:59

wgGuest25yes a warning22:00
wgGuest25but, i don't see my webpage22:00
wgGuest25i saw in blank22:01
@khennthat's not because of spectre22:01
@khennthat's a different problem22:01
wgGuest81BartJol, if a call a macro in a template and it returns a collections or records, is posible to show a list of this record directly in the template?22:01
@khenncheck the the modproxy logs22:01
BartJolwgguest 81, sorry, I have some issues creating another database, I'm a bit of a sql newby22:03
wgGuest81ok22:04
BartJolstill trying though, have to learn22:05
wgGuest81hello all22:07
metanil<tmpl_var form.start> will return the form tag with its proper action.. with i found it doesn't have name..  how can i able to give a simple name to this form.. (implicitly in form.start)22:07
wgGuest81if a call a macro in a template and it returns a collections or records, is posible to show a list of this record directly in the template?22:08
@preactionyou can't. you could write your own form.start though (in the template)22:08
Samus_Aranpreaction: are you around today ?  I could use a bit of help if you are22:08
@preactionwgGuest81, macros are processed after the template is processed. dunno if that answers your question22:08
@preactionSamus_Aran, can't. taking lunch and buying compy parts22:08
* preaction &22:08
metanilpreaction, you mean 'template' i could see 'form.start' in the template itself. there must be some .pm file which drives this.. is it?22:10
Samus_AranRadix_: or you, as you mentioned using the proxy thing.  I would like to use the WRE with the pre-existing Apache, using a mod_proxy to hand off requests as appropriate22:10
Samus_Aranpreaction: no problem.  enjoy22:10
wgGuest81preaction, if a put the macro in the beggining of the template, it will be executed after the template, too?22:10
BartJolyes22:11
@khennmetainl22:12
@khenn:22:12
@khenncopy the html from <tmpl_var form.start>22:12
@khennthen go into the template22:12
@khennremove <tmpl_var form.start>22:12
@khennpaste in what it was printing out22:12
@khennand modify as necessary22:12
@khenndon't change the action22:12
@khennthen you can name it whatever you want22:12
BartJolmmm, mysql won't let me create the db and I don't rmember the db admin passwd comination... so I'm afraid I can't help you at the moment wgguest 8122:13
@khennyou don't need to modify the core of WebGUI to make template changes22:13
BartJolhave to fix that first22:13
Samus_Arandoes anyone else know anything about using the WRE alongside an existing Apache/Perl/MySQL install ?22:13
BartJoland I like to improve my macro, which also eats time22:13
Samus_Aranas the manual install runs in ultra slow motion for me, quite unusable22:14
@khennI know it can be a pain to install manually.22:14
Samus_Aranor is there simply some way I can test the WRE on an alternate port ?22:14
@khennbut you know that too22:14
metanilkhenn, i am thinking of changing WebGUI::Form::formHeader.. .. is it ok?22:14
wgGuest81thanks BartJol22:14
@khennno22:14
@khenndon't change that22:14
@khennnext upgrade you'll lose your changes22:15
@khennjust replace <tmpl_var form.start> with raw HTML22:15
Samus_AranI got it installed manually quite well, without any issues I thought, but then it was going in slow motion.  10 to 30 seconds to load any page, on an unused server22:15
@khennas long as you have the same action, it will be fine22:15
@khennSamus, it could be a number of things22:15
Samus_Aranso now I want to try the WRE.  almost got the WRE working on the weekend, but couldn't access the site through the proxy22:15
metanilhmm.. thanks khenn.. 22:16
@khennit could be: the number of child processes in apache22:16
@khennI believe WebGUI itself uses 322:16
Samus_AranI reduced the children, as they were using tons of RAM22:16
@khennwhat did you reduce it to?22:17
Samus_Aranit was at 8 or 10 I think, and each was using around 78MiB RAM22:17
@khennI think I run my dev server at 522:17
Samus_Aranwhich seems highly excessive22:17
metanilkhenn, what if that template is used by several pages???22:17
Samus_Aranthe server is a dual-CPU 1.6Ghz with 1GiB RAM currently22:17
@khennmetanil: what is the action?22:18
@khennon each of the pages22:18
@khennis it posting to itself?22:18
@khennif so, use the page macro as the action22:18
@khennSamus:  have you checked DNS22:18
metanilits the page which add this template22:18
@khennwe had issues a few weeks back where the server wasn't recognizing DNS22:18
@khennwhich was causing every image to load ultra slow22:18
-!- wgGuest25 [n=wgGuest2@static-adsl201-232-86-73.epm.net.co] has quit [Remote closed the connection]22:18
@khennHaarg would know more about the DNS stuff than I would22:19
metanilkhenn, like /home/music/genre/form22:19
@khennI think we had to explicitly put something in /etc/hosts22:19
metanilfor this will only work for form page right?22:19
@khennmetanil: I think the page macro should work fine22:19
@khennI can't remember what it is22:19
metanilummm.. yaa. that would be great.22:19
@khennthough22:19
@khennjust set the action of the form to the page macro22:19
metanil(why didn't i think about it before)22:19
Samus_Arankhenn: MinSpareServers      2, MaxSpareServers      4, MaxClients           2022:20
metanilkhenn,, and macro will return exact page url, right22:20
wgGuest81BartJol, can you help me tomorrow with the sql form?22:20
wgGuest81i am going to test at night and if a get something i will tell you tomorrow22:21
BartJolwell other people know more about it22:21
wgGuest81Who?22:21
Samus_Arankhenn: and I added a MaxRequestsPerChild  300, as I was concerned about a memory leak such as was present with spectre (using 350MiB RAM after 2 days)22:22

@khennso that actually might not work22:23
Samus_Arankhenn: my Apache threads normally use 4.3MiB RAM, and with WebGUI that goes up to around 78MiB each.  it seems that WebGUI does not play well in a shared environment22:23
@khennunless the asset itself is the page22:23
@khennif that's the case, it'll work great22:24
@khennif the asset is on a page22:24
BartJolwgGuest81, dapperedodo and Mr Hairgrease know a lot about it, but are on holidays right now22:24
@khennthen the post will not work correctly when on the page22:24
Samus_Aranas there are other web sites, which will now use tons of RAM even serving simple HTML pages22:24
metanilhmm.. ya.. i think so..22:24
BartJolbut they have a site22:24
@khennSamus:  here's what I would recommend doing22:25
perlmonkey2is there anyway to have cgi-bin be a functional scriptalias passthru?  I can't seem to make it work.22:25
@khenndownload the latest WRE and install it on a test box (or virtual machine)22:25
@khennthen look at how we've configured apache / mod perl / etc22:26
BartJolsorry wgGuest81, I was mistaken, it was on the sqlreport and in dutch.. which might cause some trouble22:26
BartJolbut it is www.sqlreport.org22:26
@khennI run on the WRE 0.81 on a P3 550 with only 512 megs of ram22:26
@khennand it's actually pretty fast22:26
@khennso it's definitely something with your configuration22:27
@khennoh I'm running on Centos22:27
@khennI also have a dev box on my mac22:27
@khennbut that's a different story22:27
@khennperlmonkey2:  you need to set up a rewrite rule in apache22:28
perlmonkey2khenn: okay, thanks :)22:28
Samus_Arankhenn: how much RAM do your Apache threads use each ?  mine are 60 to 70MiB each as soon as WebGUI is enabled22:28
@khennon my P3, I get up to 380 megs used at times22:29
Samus_Aran(with a manual install)22:29
@khennI've never had the box crash22:29
@khennand I've never had it run ultra slow22:29
@khennbut again, I'm not using a manual install22:29
@khennso I'm guessing it's a config / fine tuning issue22:29
Samus_Aranbut how much do individual threads of Apache use ?  I want to know if my manual install is completely borked, or if it's normal to use that much22:30
@khennI don't know how much each individual thread of Apache uses22:30
@khennI'm not even sure how I would find that out.22:30
@khennall I can see is how much total ram is being used by Apache22:31
@khennall I know how to see anyway22:31
@khennunfortunately we are pretty much at the limit of what I know how to troubleshoot22:32
Samus_Aranif you wanted to see RAM used, this command will do it: \ps ww -e -o rss,args | grep httpd | grep -v grep22:34
Samus_Aranit will display kilobytes of RAM for each Apache thread22:34
Samus_Aranfor some unknown reason, when I started up the WebGUI running from the manual install, it is fast22:34
Samus_Aranthere is now the /WRE in /data.  perhaps it is using something from in there, even though it shouldn't.  I'm not sure22:35
@khenni'll check my dev box22:35
Samus_Aranthe WRE isn't being used currently22:35
Samus_Aranbut pages are loading <1 second22:35
Samus_Aranweird22:35
@khennhmm22:35
@khennyeah I'm not sure22:36
Samus_Aranit was a minimum of 5-8 seconds when I was working on it Thursday22:36
Samus_Aranand often 3022:36
@khennsounds like something you did along the way fixed the problem22:36
Samus_Aranand since then I have not touched my manual install, I just moved it and put it back today22:36
Samus_Aranoh well.  if it's working, it's working22:36
Samus_Aran[until it decides to stop working again, hehe]22:36
Samus_Aranit is perfectly fine now, nice and fast22:38
@khennI ran that command22:38
@khenneach apache thread is using < 75k22:39
@khenner < 65k22:39
@khenner > 65k22:39
@khennheh22:39
@khennless than22:39
Samus_AranI think I will test if it is using some component of the WRE I installed in /data.  I will stop apache, rename /data and then try again22:39
@khennI take it you have WebGUI installed somewhere besides /data22:39
@khennie: /data/WebGUI/lib22:40
@khennotherwise you might just want to rename /data/wre22:40
Samus_AranI have my manual install in /var/www/WebGUI and my domain at /var/www/foo.com22:42
Samus_Aranokay, renamed the old /data and restarted ... lemme see if it is slow now22:42
Samus_Aranmade no difference.  still nice and fast22:42
Samus_AranI guess I can remove the WRE now and get on with developing the web site22:43
@khennwell, it's a mystery but it's solved22:43
Samus_Aranphew !22:43
Samus_Aranthanks for your help, khenn and preaction and Radix_ 22:43
@khennsure thing22:43
Samus_AranI haven't used WebGUI since v4.x, it has changed a lot.  I find it more confusing now22:43
Samus_Aranbut I will try to figure it out22:44
@khennit's 1000 times the size22:44
@khennwow WebGUI 4 eh?22:44
@khennthat's a long time ago22:44
@khennHaving used both versions, I can honestly say version 7 is much better22:45
@khennespecially from a developers standpoint22:45
@khennit's a lot more customizeable22:45
Samus_AranI find the UI more confusing, however I see a huge number of new features22:45
Samus_Aranand I like features =)22:45
@khennyou think the UI is more confusing?22:46
wgGuest24i have webgui 7.4.18 and don't see my page22:46
@khennI thought it was much worse when all of the admin stuff was right in the middle of your page22:46
@khennwhat do you mean you don't see your page?22:46
Samus_Arankhenn: for example adding a section to a page.  it used to be intuitive, now I'm not even sure how to do it22:46
wgGuest24and in the webgui.log i found this error:  ERROR - spectre.conf - POE::Kernel::_dispatch_event[1012] - ADMIN: Couldn't connect to WebGUI site22:46
wgGuest24what i must do?22:47
@khennsounds like a configuration problem22:47
@khennmy guess is you have the IP address or port misconfigured22:47
@khennfor spectre22:47
Samus_Arankhenn: e.g. a new column or a paragraph of text.  in 4.x it was very clear what to do, now all I see is "pages".  preaction said that all the sections are pages now, which seems kind of strange22:47
wgGuest24i do a copy of spectre.conf.original 22:48
wgGuest24and don't modified22:48
@khennthe problem is likely in your webgui config file22:48
@khenndo a search for spectre in there22:48
@khennSamus:  anything in WebGUI can be a page these days22:49
@khennfor instance22:49
@khennif you wanted to create a page that only had one article on it22:49
@khennyou could simply add the article as a child of home or something else22:49
@khennexpose it to the navigation22:49
@khennand presto, it's a page22:50
@khennthe only time you really need to use "Pages" per say, is when you want to display more than one  "thing" on a "page"22:50
@khennI guess that can be a bit confusing22:50
Samus_Aranin WebGUI 4.x, there would often be dozens of items on the page22:51
Samus_Araneach section was self-contained, so you could cut/paste it somewhere else, or move it to a new column, etc.22:52
Samus_AranI'm not sure how to do that type of management in 7.x22:52
@khennit's drag and drop now22:53
@khennadd a page layout22:53
@khennthen you can start adding things to that page layout22:53
@khennthose things become children of the page layout22:53
@khennand you can drag and drop them or move them about via the asset manager22:53
@khennactually, we have published an entire book on managing content in WebGUI22:54
@khennhttps://www.plainblack.com/store/services/books2/webgui-content-managers-guide22:54
@khennthere is a great deal of content in there22:55

wgGuest24they tell me that my spectre.conf is wrong, but this it's good23:14
nubawgGuest24: can you handle yourself with a shell?23:16
BartJolbut maybe it is just caching23:16
nubawgGuest24: fire a shell, go to /data/wre/sbin, type '. ./setenvironment' without the quotes23:16
nubathat will set your environment properly23:17
nubathen go to /data/WebGUI/sbin and run 'perl spectre.pl --test'23:17
nubaif you see 'Tests completed.' and no error, your spectre is ok23:18
nubaotherwise it'll spit some error for you23:18
wgGuest24i dn't have wre i have the source23:18
nubawhich you should use as your starting point23:18
nubawhoops23:18
nubaits been a while since I used to run webgui without the WRE, not sure I can help you then23:19

nubaor added it to /etc/hosts23:23
nuba?23:23
wgGuest24yes23:23
wgGuest24and restart apache223:23
nubaif you type 'host www.ejemplo.com', is it pointing to your machine's IP or some IP apache would be listening at?23:23
wgGuest24yes, my ip, because it's local23:24
nubawhat is your webgui release again?23:24
wgGuest247.4.1823:24
nubais this a fresh install ? any reason for not using the latest stable?23:25
nubaactually, any reason for not using the wre?23:25
wgGuest24i have this before, and reinstall my ubuntu and now is install webgui23:26
+perlDreamerperlmonkey2: you can't run any custom perl code on PB's hosting, unless you get your own server.23:27
Samus_AranwgGuest24: if it is local, do you have a DNS server or is it in your hosts file ?23:27
nubayou know you could use the wre, install webgui 7.4.18 on it, add a site with the same name of what you had before, then replace the database for the one you had, and place the uploads under /data/domains/www.ejemplo.com/public, and live happly ever after, dont you?23:28
nubaby using the WRE it will be easier for you to get help from the community23:29
nubaie. in my case I dont really remember a lot of configuring/troubleshooting a lone webgui install, no WRE23:30
BartJolperlDreamer, you mentioned a time ago something about wrting tests23:31

BartJolI feel I get in the stage that that might get usefull23:31
+perlDreamerokay, let me throw some resources your way23:31
BartJolah, that would be nice23:31
BartJolneed my mail?23:32

+perlDreamerif you can't get a copy of my WUC talk, let me know and I'll email you one23:32
BartJolok, Ill check that tomorrow23:33

+perlDreamerand from what I see on their site, $15 hosting is now $20 hosting23:34
+perlDreamerSo good job for purchasing early :)23:34
+perlDreamerBartJol: In the meantime, have a look at the tests in /data/WebGUI/t/Macro for ideas and stuff to borrow.23:35
BartJolbut it seems to run quite ok right now, but it really needs testing23:35
+perlDreamerwith automated tests, no more loading, and reloading, and so on.23:36
+perlDreamerYou set it up once, and keep using it.23:36
BartJolbut you can do tests what happens on a reload?23:37
+perlDreamerSure.  Reload is the second time the user accesses the macro.23:37
BartJolcheck23:37
BartJolright now I already feel a bit proud that I came this far23:38
perlmonkey2what ever happened to crythias?23:38
+perlDreamerYou should, man!  You've worked hard and done well.23:38
BartJolit takes some initialisation time, but after that it goes quite ok23:39
BartJoleasier to fix mistakes and stuff23:39
Samus_Arandoes anyone have any idea why the site search might not work ?23:42
wgGuest24yes i have /data/domain/ejemplo.com/www/public23:42
Samus_AranI don't get any errors, just no results.  it puts me on the search page again23:42
Samus_Aranhm.  apparently if you use ^c; for the company name, it won't find it when you type part of the name23:43
Samus_AranI tried some other words and they were found23:43
BartJolah, yes I heard that it is a bit sensitive sometimes23:43
+perlDreamerSamus_Aran: I _think_ you have to run the site indexer manually when you start the site.23:43
Samus_Aranactually, that isn't the issue.  hm23:43
Samus_Aranit seems to be ignoring my Contact form text23:44
Samus_AranperlDreamer: I will look into that23:44
Samus_Aranit finds the page names, but not text on the page23:44
BartJolbut I'm gonna relax now and test later23:48

Samus_AranDoes anyone know how I can make the news post immediately ?  it is set to "Commit without approval"23:57
Samus_AranI thought <blink> was the most maligned23:57
+perlDreamerYup.  If spectre is broken, then I want it to be very visible.23:58
+perlDreamerSamus_Aran: This is a guess, but try the sitewide settings for autocommit and autoapprove.  They should make that intermediate page go away.23:58

Samus_Aranthat appears a lot00:18
Samus_Aranso presumably the router is giving my connection the external IP00:19
Samus_Araneven though both this computer and the server are on the same LAN00:19
Samus_Aranthough I thought it was just the webgui process that would connect to it, in which case the IP shouldn't matter00:19

BartJolwell you can, if the template variables exist00:31
@preactionnot last accessed (unless that means last changed). submitted by is probably easy (<tmpl_var ownerUserId>)00:31
@preactionbut you'll need to get the username out of that. probably with a macro. dunno if any macros built-in will do it00:32
Samus_Aranpreaction: could you help me figure out why spectre can't communicate with my manually installed webgui ?  it is running very fast now, by the way00:34
Samus_Arannot sure why, but I'm not complaining00:34
@preactioni would bet that spectre is for some reason binding on the external IP. or if your /etc/hosts has yourdomain.com pointing to that external IP, it might show up like that. your best bet would be to do what the error message from spectre.pl --test said, and put your external IP in spectreSubnets00:35
Samus_AranI just got a new error, when restarting apache and spectre00:37
Samus_Aranactually that error seems to only be because I had stopped apache and then loaded spectre first00:39

Samus_Aranall my changes reappeared00:59
+perlDreamerSpectre processed the version workflow00:59
nubai think it would be good if every wiki update would appear here with the wikipage title, and the webgui.org nickname of the person who did the change01:00
+perlDreamernuba: PB's contract with their provider says "NO IRC"01:00
+perlDreamerYou'd have to screen scrape it.01:00
nubalike "Wiki: WebGUI Search System edited by knowmad"01:01
nuba"Wiki: Subscriptions, Manage added by knowmad"01:01
Samus_Arancan the wiki provide a dump of the most recent 50 posts, in xml or csv ?  that would be simple enough to check once per 5 minutes or similar01:02
nubatheres http://www.webgui.org/community-wiki?func=recentChanges01:02
nubai can whip that up with irssi01:02
nubaperlDreamer: if they can run a irc client from their servers, they can have a irc bot01:03
nubabut maybe even that they cannot do01:03
+perlDreamerit isn't on their servers, it runs locally on the web client in Java01:03
+perlDreamerI've been hounding JT about this for two years.01:04
+perlDreamerHe's very adamant about the contract.01:04
nubait happens that irc client, some bots, and a private ircd (for work), well, thats exactly what I do from my dedacated server :)01:04
Samus_Aranyou could also set up an SSH tunnel from the server01:05
nubanever had any issue with the providers. but then my ircd is wrapped with SSL, with a password to connect to the ircd too01:05
nubaand this is a very very low traffic machine01:06
@preactionnuba, if you're willing, JT has said he will accept me building an interface (a la JSON or XML or somesuch) to the data that your bot could use01:09
@preactionof course, one of the features i want to see in the wiki is the ability to subscribe to a wikipage01:10
@preactionwhich would fulfill the same purpose really01:11
nubathe wiki having a RSS feed would be good enough01:11
nubadoes it?01:11
nubaotherwise im scraping it01:11
nubait would make a lot of sense for me this of people subscribing to a RSS feed of recent changes in a wiki01:12
Samus_Arannuba: if they can modify the wiki to dump in csv or xml, it will save the server from sending more data than it needs (a whole HTML page)01:12
cap10morganhmm, a bunch of my modperl instances are segfaulting01:13
cap10morganany clever tricks to debug why that's happening?01:13
cap10morgani should say, modperl processes01:13
nubaktrace?01:13
nubaand kdump?01:13
nubayou can have hours of fun with that01:13
+perlDreamerPB people: When is the rizenator back?01:14
nubafor some offbeat definition of fun, of course01:14
@preactionnuba, i can build a shortcut to the wiki that will give you whatever you want in whatever serialization you want, JSON, XML, or otherwise. (i'd prefer JSON, more possibilities)01:14
cap10morgannuba: hmm, googling, thanks for the suggestion01:14
cap10morgannuba: does ktrace work on linux?01:15
+perlDreamerhttp://www.presicient.com/langjobs/usajobs.html01:15
cap10morganlooks like a bsd thing01:15
nubacap10morgan: if you launch a single instance of apache, enable ktrace, and reproduce the error, skip to about the end of your dump and its probably around there01:15
nubathats what I sometimes do on freebsd, dunno what you'd use in linux01:16
cap10morganah, ok01:16
cap10morgani guess that would be strace01:16
@preactionDebugging and profiling mod_perl applications: http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/97401:17
nubaSamus_Aran: for a 18566 bytes html, its ~66MB/day plus some little overhead to retrieve /community-wiki?func=recentChanges every minute and scrap it01:20
nubapreaction: if I can ask, I'd first ask that the wiki outputs RSS so that besides scrapping I can subscribe to it01:21
+perlDreameryeah!01:21
+perlDreamerRSS01:21
nubaor any webgui wiki01:21
@preactioni could write something to do that, yes01:21
@preactiongive me until tomorrow01:22
nubaafterwards looking for other formats like JSON would be ok, but the RSS is the thing I think most people wouldbenefit from01:22
nubapreaction: can plainblack live with 66Mb/day for a few days?01:22
@preactionwhat do you mean?01:22
nubaif yes im getting this bot to scrap the page and post new updates here today01:23
+perlDreamerone WebGUI download / day from PB is bigger than that, nuba01:23
@preactionyes, but the download doesn't go through webgui01:23
nubai knkow, but since Samus_Aran brought the worry about MB/day up..01:23
metanilis there any method available in webgui core that will return username from userid (as parameter)???01:23
+perlDreamermetanil: not yet :)01:24
@preactionmetanil, print WebGUI::User->new( $session, $userId )->username;01:24
+perlDreamerSounds like a good RFE01:24
metanilhmm..01:25
metanilok i'll write my own.01:25
+perlDreamerpreaction: How about some golfing :)01:29
+perlDreamerWebGUI::User->new(@_)->username;01:30
@preactiontouche01:30

CIA-21WebGUI: colin * r5415 /WebGUI/lib/WebGUI/ (i18n/English/Macro_SpectreCheck.pm Macro/SpectreCheck.pm): adding the SpectreCheck Macro, per the RFE01:33
@preactionwhat does the SpectreCheck macro do?01:34
+perlDreamerIt says whether or not a connection could be made to Spectre01:34
@preactioni suppose that could be useful01:35
+perlDreamerI think it would be more useful displayed in the AdminBar.01:36
+perlDreamerWhat do you think?01:36
@preactiondidn't that RFE say something about displaying it during a commit?01:36
+perlDreamerit's 3-fold01:36
+perlDreamer1) When committing01:36
+perlDreamer2) When auto-committing (which is TBD)01:37
+perlDreamer3) Macro for displaying status01:37
cap10morganhmm, yeah, strace indicates that i'm sometimes getting segfaults something is retrieved from the db cache01:42
cap10morganclearing the cache and restarting doesn't help01:42
cap10morganbut switching to file cache does01:42
nubanice01:43
cap10morganyep, "select content from cache..." precedes the segfault every time01:43
@preactionweirdness01:44
cap10morganthat seems bad overall01:44
@preactionwhat does myisamchk say about the cache table?01:44
cap10morganit's in a bunch of different sites' databases01:44
cap10morgani mean, i could check anyway, but seems unlikely they're all affected01:45
cap10morgansays 1 client is using or hasn't closed properly01:47
cap10morganand usable but should be fixed01:47
cap10morganon 2 sites that exhibit the problem01:47
Samus_AranHow can I check why my contact form is not sending an e-mail to the To and Cc addresses ?01:48
+perlDreamerSamus_Aran: Either a mail server or a spectre problem01:49
Samus_Aranit only saves the data on the page01:49
Samus_AranperlDreamer: does it use sendmail to send it, or Perl directly, or what ?01:49
+perlDreamerIt uses what you told it to in the site Settings01:49
Samus_Aranis there a log file that would show an error ?01:49
+perlDreameryes01:49
+perlDreamerwebgui.log01:49
Samus_Aranokay, will look for site settings01:49
+perlDreameralthough, if spectre isn't running, then the workflow to send the emails won't run either01:50
Samus_AranSpectre is fine now01:52
Samus_Aranafter adding the external IP01:52
Samus_AranI see in Settings under the Messaging tab "SMTP Server" set to "localhost".  it doesn't have options for port numbers or authentication01:53
Samus_AranI guess I will have to set up a localhost mail server to relay01:53
Samus_AranI don't think the server has one currently01:54

Samus_Aranyes.02:22
Samus_Arancan someone remind me what the item is called that is used for News ?  I accidentally got it removed (I cut it to paste somewhere else, then restarted WebGUI and it went poof)02:23
-!- cap10morgan [n=cap10mor@h19-afsc.ded.indra.com] has quit []02:26
Samus_AranI just realised that I only want one set of data, for both the events calendar and the news items, as there is overlap02:27
Samus_Arannot sure how I could do that, though02:27
+perlDreamerpull RSS/Ical from the Events Calendar as you news feed?02:28
Samus_Aranbasically one view of the data in month view, and another view of the data in most recent02:28
Samus_AranI mean, a plain list02:29
+perlDreamerThe calendar doesn't do a list view yet.02:29
Samus_Aranif I tell it to export an RSS, can I get a item-by-item listing from that using another plugin ?02:30
* perlDreamer decides to double check whether the calendar supports RSS before answering02:31
@preactionno02:31
@preactionjust iCal02:31
@preactionbut you can make RSS out of any asset using shortcuts and template overrides02:31
+perlDreamerare we still planning a general RSS solution for Assets?02:32
Samus_Aranit seems that news and events would go together for many people02:32
+perlDreamerto replace RSSCapable and RSSFromParent?02:32
Samus_AranI mean, any upcoming event is a newsworthy item02:32
+Radix-wrkthe collaboration system has an rss mode doesn't it?02:34
@preactionSamus_Aran, please. if you have RFEs, post them to the RFE list. complaining about WebGUI's shortcomings here is counter-productive. patches are welcome.02:34
@preactionRadix-wrk, yes. same with Syndicated Content assets02:34
Samus_Aranany idea why the heading used for News is more prominent than that used by Calendar ?02:34
+Radix-wrkprolly just different css used in each02:35
+Radix-wrkyou can change that through the template easily enough02:35
+Radix-wrkIs the Thingy in 7.5.x yet?02:35
Samus_AranNews uses <h2> and Calendar uses <h1>02:35
+perlDreamerIt's just the default template02:36
Samus_Aranthey should both be of the same importance02:36
+Radix-wrkfile it as a bug then02:36
@preactionor edit the template and attach a package to the bug02:39
Samus_AranI just checked, and all other objects in my site are using <h2>, so it is the calendar that is doing it wrong02:39
Samus_Aranwhere is the template ?02:39
+Radix-wrkedit calendar, go to display tab and select edit next to the calendar template02:40
+Radix-wrkeasiest way would be to get rid of the title altogether tho :)02:41
-!- perlDreamer [n=ckuskie@nat039.mxim.com] has quit ["Download Gaim: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/"]02:41
+Radix-wrklooks like you'd need to edit each different view of the calendar otherwise02:42
Samus_AranI updated the 4 views.  quite easy, thank you02:46
@preactiona note: if you edited the default templates, they can be overwritten by an upgrade. or you could submit the bug report and attach your changed templates02:47
@preactionor you could copy the default templates and make changes to your copies02:47
Samus_Aranhow do I stop an item from taking over the page ?  e.g. on my "News & Events" page I have a News section then a Calendar section.  if any of the items on the calendar are clicked on, such as changing the view, it leaves the page and never goes back02:49
Samus_AranI don't want an end user seeing any of the sub-pages02:50
Samus_AranI mean, single components02:50
@preactiondidn't we discuss this last night? I know radix shared your sentiments, but it's not possible to do what you want and still get any functionality02:53
@preactionokay, it is possible, but the resulting URLs would be horrendous02:54
@preactioni believe i gave examples using the collaboration system02:54
Samus_AranI'm not concerned about the URLs, I am concerned about the end user being yanked out of the page they are in the middle of and being confused about how to get the rest of the content on the page02:56
Samus_Aranif someone is scrolling down a page somewhere in the middle, and click a tab on a calendar, the rest of the page shouldn't magically disappear on them02:56
Samus_AranI haven't seen other web sites behave that way02:57
perlmonkey2Okay, I need to start joining the survey system into WG.  Is the wiki wobject guide + skeleton still the best way to learn how to create wobjects?02:57
nubaperlmonkey2: cool!02:59
@preactionperlmonkey2, yes, for the most part. i've been told that the Gallery is the pinnacle of WebGUI development (i was told to build it as such), so look there for style and ideas on how to do permissions and such02:59
perlmonkey2hah, cool until you realize how complicated WG is02:59
@preactionthe skeleton is a bit out of date. there are better ways to do some things03:00
perlmonkey2preaction: thanks :)03:00
@preactioni've been meaning to fix it, but no time (Gallery not done yet)03:00
perlmonkey2preaction: that is what I thought.  I've looked at code and the skeleton and they don't match up well.03:00
@preactionthe gallery, galleryalbum and photo assets do things the best way we currently know how03:01
perlmonkey2I don't see a Gallery?  Only the galleryalbulm and utility?03:02
perlmonkey2I don't see a photo either03:02
perlmonkey2not in the source tree yet?03:02
@preactionthey're in there03:03

perlmonkey2preaction: wow.....I just did svn update 1 hour ago and I'm not seeing that....let me re update03:03
perlmonkey2okay, found Photo.pm03:04
Samus_Aranany idea why, when I have "filter code: nothing" it still doesn't display ^c; as the company name ?  this is on a news item displayed as a weblog03:05
perlmonkey2but Gallery.pm isn't showing up ofr me03:05
* perlmonkey2 wonders off to try to fix his subversion checkout03:05
perlmonkey2preaction: you just submitted another version, yet I still can't get svn to get that file.  I can see it by browsing to the directory.  Strange.03:11
@preactionweird indeed03:11
@preactionmaybe try a full checkout in another directory?03:11
perlmonkey2hmm, reverted to a previous version then updated, and got it.03:15
@preactionweird03:15
Samus_Aranmore issues with the weblog display for news: it only displays 8 words, instead of a couple paragrahs, before the "more" link03:16

Samus_Aranweblog under news03:19
perlmonkey2an asset search for weblog brings back one template "weblog".  Is that it?03:20
Samus_AranCollaboration System Template: Weblog03:20
perlmonkey2k03:20
Samus_Aranyes03:20
perlmonkey2looks like <tmpl_var synopsis> is being set in the wobject03:21
+Radix-wrktmpl_var synopsis usually picks up everything until the first newline in the text from memory03:22
@preactionor up to the ^; marker (i think that's what it is)03:23
+Radix-wrk^-; ?03:23
@preactionyeah, that03:23
+Radix-wrkIt's something funny like that03:23
perlmonkey2the word synopsis shows up three times in the wobject.....I have no idea what is going on in any three.03:23
perlmonkey2only that one is an rss item.03:23
Samus_Aran"The ^c; beta web site is now up"\03:24
Samus_Aran*all03:24
Samus_Aranthat is aklk it shows for me03:24
perlmonkey2$var->{"synopsis.label"} = $i18n->get("synopsis");03:24
Samus_Aranit also doesn't conver the ^c; into a company name, even with filters set to none03:24
Samus_Aran*convert03:24
Samus_Aran(this laptop keyboard sucks)03:24
+Radix-wrkis the c macro listed in your webgui.conf file?03:25
+Radix-wrkit might be disabled by default for some wierd reason03:25
Samus_AranI will look03:25
perlmonkey2Samus_Aran: Just ot make sure I'm lookin at the right part of the template, the very next thing after the synopsis text, is the weblogReadMore div?03:25
Samus_AranRadix-wrk: where would webgui.conf normally reside ?03:28
Samus_AranI have a $PREFIX/etc/WebGUI.conf.original, but don't see any WebGUI.conf or webgui.conf file.  I don't recall instructions telling me to create that one03:29
Samus_AranI created one for my domain and one for spectre and one for logging03:30
Samus_Aranperlmonkey2: <tmpl_var synopsis> \n <div class="weblogReadMore">03:30
Samus_Aranwhere would I find the code for: $i18n->get("synopsis");  being called in "lib/WebGUI/Asset/Wobject/Collaboration.pm"03:33
perlmonkey2That's whI have no idea how the synopsis is created.  I created a entry.  then changed the text of the entry.  The synopsis still shows the original ocntent even after I cleared the cache and forced a reload.  03:34
Samus_Aranhm03:35
Samus_Arana simpler question: how do I create a page under another ?03:36
Samus_AranI don't get what a Folder is versus a Page Layout03:36
perlmonkey2you create page layouts03:36
perlmonkey2a page layouts contains assets03:36
Samus_Aranis a Page Layout an asset ?03:36
perlmonkey2they are what you might consider a "folder"03:36
perlmonkey2yes03:36
perlmonkey2it will be added to the nav bar and will be a "web page"03:37
Samus_Aranand what is the WebGUI Folder ?03:37
perlmonkey2that can contain articles, weblogs03:37
perlmonkey2whatever03:37
perlmonkey2a real file folder03:37
perlmonkey2well03:37
perlmonkey2a virtual file folder03:37
Samus_Arana real virtual file folder03:37
Samus_Aranheh03:37
perlmonkey2for assets03:37
Samus_Aranso how does it differ from a Page Layout ?03:37
+Radix-wrkit's more for displaying lists of things03:38
+Radix-wrklike lists of files or the like03:38
perlmonkey2where can I find posts to the collab in the database?03:45
perlmonkey2This is so weird.  I can not make the new submission to the collab system show up in the synopsys.03:47
perlmonkey2hmm, I'm guessing clearing the cache doens't effect all wobjects03:51
-!- ascii [n=ascii@host-64-139-233-19.nctv.com] has quit ["leaving"]04:05
Samus_Aranis there any way to rearrange the order of pages after they are placed ?04:14
Samus_Aranthe order in which they appear in the flexmenu04:14
Samus_AranI suppose it's not that hard to cut all the pages, then repaste them in the order I want04:16
* perlmonkey2 is still trying to figure out the synopsis. I just don't see what is happening in the code.04:18
perlmonkey2Samus_Aran: In the asset menu04:19
perlmonkey2you can drag and drop them04:19
perlmonkey2which effects how the nav asset displays them.04:19
Samus_Aranperlmonkey2: I just figured out something about the synopsis04:24
perlmonkey2Do tell :)04:24
Samus_Aranstrangely, when you edit the weblog entry, it only displays a subject and body04:25
Samus_Aranbut if you go to preview, it then shows a "summary"04:25
Samus_Aranwhich is the synopsis04:25
Samus_Aranso it isn't actually cutting it down, it seems04:25
Samus_Aranit was a field hidden to me04:25
* Samus_Aran goes to confirm it is only appearing after a preview04:25
perlmonkey2ah04:26
perlmonkey2I'm in preview and don't see a "summary".04:26
Samus_Aranhm.  well it seems to be showing up now, but I know I didn't type in half a sentence before04:26
Samus_AranI'm not really sure what's going on with it04:26
Samus_AranI see it any time I go to edit now04:27
* perlmonkey2 goes to make sure his gui privleges are maxed04:28
perlmonkey2I wonder why I don't see it.04:28
perlmonkey2you are using the weblog template?04:28

Samus_Aranyes, using the weblog template.  however, I used another template at the start, and it imported data to the next template04:32
Samus_Aranand each time it did that, it seemed to randomly do things to the data04:32
Samus_AranI think that switching through all the templates messed up my article04:32
perlmonkey2In the database I can find the synopsis I see in the wobject table, but the complete post I can not find there.  I can't find it in any table.04:32
perlmonkey2I have no idea which table submissions are stored.04:33
Samus_Aranit just suddenly appeared for me when I went to preview04:33
Samus_Aranand now everything is fine04:33
Samus_Arantry switching to another template such as guestbook, when you already have a submission04:33
Samus_Aranor Q/A, etc.04:33
Samus_AranI tried them all before I decided to stick with weblog04:34
Samus_Aranand half of them displayed the entry strangely04:34
Samus_Aranincluding inserting a line break in the middle of a sentence, which was not visible in the web form editing the text04:34
Samus_Arane.g. "this is a sentence" in the edit box, and when it was displayed on the list of news items, it showed up as: "this is"04:35
Samus_Aran"a sentence"04:35
Samus_Aranit seems that the various templates are not using the same exact variables04:35
perlmonkey2Hah, I am pretty sure I know where the synopsis is coming from now.  PrepareView is a wrapper for the rss call. What you are seing on front is created by the rss feed.04:35
Samus_Aranor not using them in the same way04:35
Samus_Aranit would be nice if there were a way to change the date of the news items04:37
Samus_Aransometimes you want to post a few hours or days away04:38

Samus_AranI have now deleted everything inside those two autotags08:10

@apeiron(which means it won't detach from the terminal so you can see errors it gets)08:25
Samus_Aranwhen I used --daemon it was still printing errors to the console08:28
@apeironArguably, if spectre is dying for some unknown reason and isn't leaving anything in its wake in the logs, then you'll need to see if it's spitting anything to STDERR before going to the big garbage collector in the sky.08:28
@apeironPossibly before it fully dissociated itself?08:28
Samus_Aranseveral seconds later08:28
Samus_Aranlemme try again and see08:28
Samus_Aranit is working now, it got rid of those empty version tags08:29
Samus_Aranis there a proper way to stop it when it is started with --run ?08:29
Samus_Aranjust Ctrl+C ?08:29
nubawell, kill -9 PID does the job too :)08:30
@apeironI'd personally keep it running that way for a while and see if the issue you're experiencing with it dying intermittently comes up again.08:30
Samus_Aranwhat does this mean:08:30
Samus_AranWORKFLOW: Looks like WBQIpZfKZe1kDQZ5TG_6ZQ at priority 23 would be a good workflow instance to run.08:30
@apeironYou don't want to start it normally again and then several hours later have it die and then wish you had it in debug mode still. :)08:30
Samus_AranWORKFLOW: Preparing to run workflow instance WBQIpZfKZe1kDQZ5TG_6ZQ.08:30
Samus_Aranthat popped up when I wasn't doing anything on the site08:31
Samus_Aranokay, sounds fine08:31
Samus_Aranit is running in GNU Screen, so I can reconnect to the server later if it messes up08:31
@apeironspectre runs some stuff in the background independent of you doing anything on the site, like daily maintenance.08:31
Samus_Aranthe screen session will log 3000 lines back, though that won't be that long considering it's spitting out 3 lines every 3 seconds08:31
@apeironYou can have screen write a hardcopy log of your session.08:32
Samus_Aranbut the thing I pasted said "workflow instance"08:32
@apeironYes.08:32
Samus_Aranapeiron: I had forgotten all about that08:32
* Samus_Aran goes to find the command08:32
@apeiron^a :log on08:32
nubascreen rocks!08:33
Samus_AranI just did ^a :log08:33
@apeironThe bits of work that spectre does in the background -- at least part of it -- are coded in modules. These modules are workflow activities. :)08:33
Samus_Aranand it started logging08:33
Samus_Aranthough it didn't let me choose a filename08:33
Samus_Aranhopefully I'll find it08:33
Samus_Aranhehe08:33
Samus_Arannuba: screen is one of the greatest inventions of all time =)08:34
GooeyOfSteelit'll bein the folder you were when you started screen08:34
Samus_Arannuba: I still kick myself for going years without trying it08:34
+Radix-wrksecond that.. I'm a big screen fan08:34
@apeironHm, where you started screen?08:34
Samus_Aranand that was years ago08:34
@apeironI thought it just put them in your home directory.08:34
GooeyOfSteelapeiron: anywhere08:34
@apeironAlthough I guess I have a tendency to start screen immediately upon logging in so...08:34
Samus_AranI use screen excessively08:35
@apeironSamus_Aran, I don't have logins on this FreeBSD machine outside of screen.08:35
Samus_AranI have all my screens with full English titles and often run out on Ubuntu (it limits to I think 36 screens)08:35
@apeiron36? wowser.08:35
Samus_AranI compiled my own on my last distro, but haven't gotten around to doing so on Ubuntu yet08:35
GooeyOfSteeli use screen by subjects - mail + im + irc - dev - sysadmin - remote consoles - etc08:36
@apeironIf you're using xterms, you may want to look into screenwm.08:36
nubaforgot I was in GooeyOfSteel's irssi, not mine :/08:36
Samus_Aranmy system is on for an average of 2 months at a time (before the nVIDIA driver leaks RAM and makes me crash or reboot)08:36
@apeiron(I make the suggestion of combining the two in xterms because of the high res you can get in xterm)08:36
nubadid you guys know scren can talk to a serial console directly?08:36
Samus_AranI use one Gnome-Terminal with transparency08:36
+Radix-wrkI've been using screen since about 1993 :)08:36
Samus_AranI didn't know screen existed in 199308:37
@apeironnuba, Interesting to know, though I've never had the need / hardware for it.08:37
-!- preaction [n=doug@static-72-1-4-143.ntd.net] has quit [Connection timed out]08:37
nubaits like kermit, only much nicer :)08:37
+Radix-wrkscreen has been around for AGES08:37
Samus_AranI use ICEWM as my desktop, and I fullscreen all my apps, including the terminal I'm in atm08:37
@apeironSamus_Aran, If you're familiar with vim's split screen modes, you'd find screenwm very comfortable.08:38
@apeironAlthough it's kinda.. fragile.08:38
Samus_Arandesktop 1 for my terminal apps, desktop 2 for Internet apps (web browsers, bittorrent), desktop 4 for word processing, 5 for GIMP08:38
Samus_AranI love ICEWM's keyboard control08:38
Samus_Aranbetter than any other environment I've used08:39
+Radix-wrkI used to use screen back when I was mudding at uni - was handy to appear to be working on my C code when instead I was attacking orcs in the mud I played in back then :)08:39
nubaheh08:39
Samus_AranI was using DOS in those days08:39
Samus_AranI had Wishbringer, though.  fun text adventure08:39
+Radix-wrkI got my first unix account in early 1993 - discovered muds shortly afterwards - grades subsequently dropped 20%.. doh08:40
Samus_Aranand the original Amulet of Yendor.  precursor to Hack and NetHack08:40
Samus_AranRadix-wrk: heh08:40
+Radix-wrkfriend introduced me to linux around the same time08:40
@apeironSamus_Aran, You mean the original rogue?08:41
Samus_AranI gave up playing NetHack once I found Ancient Domains of Mystery.  I still love playing that.  I've been playing it off and on for I believe ten years now08:41
+Radix-wrkhe was running coherent unix around that time08:41
Samus_Aranapeiron: I don't know if Amulet of Yendor or Rogue came out first, but the Rogue I played was more sophisticated than AoY08:42
Samus_Aranapeiron: Hack came after AoY, and once it became open source and worked on over the net, it turned into NetHack08:42
@apeironSamus_Aran, I fooled around a bit with the original 4.4BSD rogue. Very, very basic. :)08:42
+Radix-wrkSorry.. I seem to have gotten the conversation offtrack with those comments, but it brings back memories :)08:42
Samus_Aranapeiron: I think I have that on my Palm Pilot, hehe08:43
Samus_Aranapeiron: it is... very bad.08:43
@apeironSamus_Aran, I have everything from the original rogue to recent versions of nethack, slashem, Linley's Dungeon Crawl, and many *bands installed here.08:43
Samus_Aranapeiron: have you never tried ADOM, or avoid it because it isn't open source ?08:43
+Radix-wrklol08:43
@apeironSamus_Aran, Tried it. More a fan of the open source games. :)08:44
+Radix-wrktelengard ftw08:44
Samus_AranI haven't played NetHack for more than about an hour since I got into ADOM 08:44
Samus_AranADOM has a way better plot, extreme character development and moral development, numerous quests, wilderness maps and way more realism than NetHack08:45
@apeironRoguelike with a plot? No way!08:45
Samus_AranI dislike how NetHack literally had the kitchen sink.  all over the place.  even has Terminators and Barney08:45
Samus_Aranfar more realism in ADOM in that regard.  monsters all have very nicely written, imaginative descriptions08:46
Samus_Aranand if you decide on a career of evil, you will have few friends and the game is way harder08:47
Samus_Aranthe ending for evil is to become a Chaos God.  never come close to that ending, so difficult.  but without any spoilers or save-cheating, I beat ADOM as good08:47
Samus_Arantook me a few years =p08:48
Samus_Aranon a good game of ADOM, my character lasts about a week08:48
GooeyOfSteelanyone played a mind forever voyaging?08:48
Samus_Aranof playing too much each day08:48
Samus_AranGooeyOfSteel: not I\08:49
@apeironDammit. There's the inspiration to write my own game again.08:49
nubanowadays, there are good text adventures/interactive fiction for free08:49
@apeironRadix-wrk, See what you started?!08:49
Samus_AranI find that in ADOM, because of the character development and length of gameplay, you get really attached to the character (investing all that time in it), so the fights in ADOM get very epic08:49
nubaand there are good apps like Gargoyle now, which makes the experience much better08:49
Samus_AranI was looking at that game engine that encourages people to make their own games.  I forget the name, but it may have been "make your own game", heh.  some very creative stuff made with it08:50
Samus_Arantext adventures and graphical games alike08:50
+Radix-wrklucasarts scumm08:51
+Radix-wrkthose games rocked :)08:51
Samus_Aranlots of scumm players for *nix08:51
nubatheres a bunch of languages for writing interactive fiction too08:51
nubafor zork and alikes08:51
+Radix-wrkyeah, there's a scummvm for almost every platform known to man.. tis great :)08:51
Samus_Aranapeiron: ADOM has extreme character development.  not just stats (though there are dozens of things to advance), but the moral choices your character makes really expands the game08:52
@apeironSamus_Aran, Huh, interesting.08:52
Samus_Aranapeiron: and you get corrupted as time goes by, the closer you get to the source of the chaos that is seeping into the land.  corruptions are things like growing hooves, sulphuric acid dripping from your fingers, your brain growing several times larger, etc.08:53
Samus_Aranthe corruptions are both good and bad, and by the end of the game you are one messed up ugly f---er08:53
Samus_Aranyou really feel the effect of these corruptions, it makes you want to hurry up and get through the game 08:54
nubacontemporary interactive fiction, for free http://www.ifwiki.org/index.php/XYZZY_Awards_200608:54
Samus_Aranone of the most annoying is a dark aura.  creatures randomly run screaming from you in fear... and shopkeepers come and attack you for chasing away their customers =p08:54
Samus_Arannuba: /me checks it otu08:54
Samus_Aran*out08:54
Samus_Aranapeiron: the one time I did beat ADOM, my character was such a mess of corruptions that my ending resulted in roughly:08:57
Samus_Aran"You make your way home to your village, where you become an outcast. Shunned by your friends and family, you die alone and miserable.  But you saved the world."08:57
@apeironheh heh08:57
@apeironAnd on that note, bedtime for me.08:57
Samus_AranI want to beat it again, with a "happy" ending08:57
Samus_Aranthere's also an ending for neutral characters, but I have no idea what it even is08:58

Samus_Aranmanual install, not the WRE09:24
Samus_Aranit works fine for hours, then does odd things09:24
+Radix-wrkI used to get some wierd errors back before I started to use the WRE.  Ones that noone else could reproduce :(  Was one of the main reasons I ended up switching to the WRE.09:25
+Radix-wrkSome debian perl module I'd apt-getted had was causing mysterious things to happen that the WRE and other systems weren't getting I suspect.09:26
Samus_Aranthere are thousands of systems out there running Apache, MySQL, Perl, PHP, etc. ... the WRE seems like such a bad idea09:26
+Radix-wrknot at all09:26
Samus_Araneffort should be put into a proper installer09:26
Samus_Arannot forcing people to give up all their services 09:26
+Radix-wrkThe WRE isn't perfect, but it's not hard to integrate it with other setups09:27
Samus_Aranrunning two copies of all the servers on the system is very inefficient09:27
+Radix-wrkAnd you can literally install a machine from scratch and have the wre up and running in under an hour.09:27
Samus_Aranand when the machine already exists, ...09:28
Samus_Aranit has a dozen web sites on it already09:28
Samus_Aranusing the MySQL database09:28
+Radix-wrkyeah, well there's no easy way to integrate those setups09:28
Samus_Aranand that's my point, it should be easy09:28
Samus_Aranthere's no reason the script can't just check the versions of the required components and let people know if their versions aren't okay09:28
Samus_Aranit already does this, but it is very fragile outside of the WRE09:29
+Radix-wrkwell I think the main problem is the lack of developers outside plainblack working on webgui09:29
+Radix-wrkplainblack is keen to add more power and flexibility in webgui09:30
Samus_Aranthe silly organisation I work for bought a very expensive rack mount server (which is sitting on a wood shelf).  perhaps I should just run WebGUI in a virtual machine09:30
+Radix-wrkI do09:30
+Radix-wrkwell.. not my production system, but I have a couple of virtual machine images I use for testing09:31
Samus_Aranseems a pain, though.  having two distros to maintain, and CPU/RAM inefficient09:31
+Radix-wrkFeel free to help out if you can - we need more people working on webgui and improving it09:31
Samus_Aranhow can I deal with the suspended workflow ?09:31
Samus_Aran"Last State: error"09:31
+Radix-wrkcan you force it to run?09:32
Samus_AranI don't know how09:32
Samus_AranI've restarted Spectre but it had no effect09:32
Samus_AranI'll try restarting Apache09:32
+Radix-wrkI'm not as familiar with the latest versions, but you should see a workflows tab in webgui09:32
+Radix-wrkand can see workflows that are stuck there and restart them manually09:33
Samus_Aranthat's only in the WRE, isn't it ?09:33
+Radix-wrkno09:33
Samus_Aranokay09:33
+Radix-wrkGo to Workflows09:34
+Radix-wrkand 'Show Running Workflows' on the far right09:34
+Radix-wrkYou can also get there by selecting Spectre from Admin Console it looks like09:35
Samus_AranI restarted Apache and then Spectre, and now it worked09:35
Samus_Aranthe pending changes went through09:35
+Radix-wrkcool09:35
Samus_Arancool that it works, but not cool that it seems to do this at random =/09:35
+Radix-wrkagreed09:35
+Radix-wrkno idea how you'd find that out.. but you should at least be able to see in webgui itself if there are any suspended workflows09:36

nubaklnielsen: just a warning, as far as I know, "edit branch" should be avoided if you have lots of descendants. I used it with ~3000 descendants (posts) and it wasnt a good experience.21:09
+perlDreamerIt needs to be a Workflow process21:10

+perlDreamerpreaction++ rocks!23:06
@preactionso i have a Redirect asset with some enhancements: it also passes whatever query parameters it gets to the URL it's redirecting you to23:19
@preactionbut there's one problem: It doesn't work through a login23:19
+perlDreamerso if you have to login to the site it losses the query parameters?23:20
@preactionthe login form is given a "returnUrl" which points to the Redirect asset and adds query parameters. when the user logs in, they're redirected to the "returnUrl"23:20
@preactionyes23:20
@preactionso user goes to foo?param=bar; they're shown a form to login that now has a returnUrl of foo?param=bar, they login and for some reason they seem to be redirected to foo?param=bar BUT with the same POST form from the login23:21
@preactionso since it's a POST, apache2::request doesn't give me ?param=bar, and instead gives me the POST parameters23:22
+perlDreamerand you lose the redirect23:22
@preactioni'm about to write some LWP::UserAgent thing that will do automated testing of this. can't I set it to not follow redirects?23:22
* perlDreamer shrugs "I don't know"23:23
+perlDreamerBut recommends using Test::WWW::Mech instead23:23
+perlDreameror Apache::Test23:23
Samus_Aranback for another day of WebGUI battling, hehe23:24
@preactionPOST is not supposed to even BE redirectable... and there is a single HTTP code that says "Don't forward the POST, just use a GET on the URL I give you."23:24
@preactioni'm using that HTTP code now, and it doesn't work23:24
nubapreaction: $ua->simple_request will not follow redirects23:27
@preactionyeah, i'm getting Test::WWW::Mech now to see if it has a similar functionality23:27
nubaand you can make post redirectable with push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';23:28
@preactionthat's probably only when using request(), doing the transparent redirecting thing23:28
nubaWWW;:Mech should have, as its just LWP::UserAgent subclassed iirc23:28
nubanever looked at Test::WWW::Mech tho23:29

nuba302 is temporary, in the sense that the redirect can change, so the browser will ask for it again next time23:52
nuba301 = moved permanently, 302 = found23:52
@preactionright, but 301 means "re-send the POST to the new address"23:53
@preaction303 means "just make a Get request to the new address, do not re-send the post'23:53

@preactionit also says they treat them like 302, which it also says most UAs treat like 303 (IE no re-POST)23:57

nubais any strategy to preserve the existence of non-english help somewhere?00:26
Samus_Aranrizen: you mean, it caches them for inaccuracy.  is there some way I can get it to stop caching them ?00:27
nubaor are W3 sites supposed to work it out by themselves?00:27
nubais there*00:27
+perlDreamernuba: You'd really need to ask rizen.  However, the i18n is in SVN now, so once it is pruned out, it's not gone forever.00:28
@rizeni wasn't here when you were talking about the problem in the beginning, but the solution is to fix whatever caused them to be inaccurate in the first place, not to eliminate the cache00:28
nubarizen: is there any exit strategy for the internationalized help besides /dev/null ?00:28
Samus_AranI mean, when it ends up inaccurate, how can someone tell WebGUI to recalculate it ?00:28
Samus_Aranit looks quite unprofessional to the people I demo to that the very first news item is giving off incorrect information00:29
@rizenthat depends upon where the inaccuracy is00:29
@rizenlike i said, i wasn't here for that part of the conversation00:29
+perlDreameryou didn't miss anything there, rizen00:30
@rizenok then tell me how it got inaccurate in the first place?00:30

+perlDreamerwgGuest78: Do you mean "copy and paste the attachment loop from the default submission template to the weblog template?"00:36
@rizenW3 died long ago, and this summer i rebuilt it as www.webguiworldwide.org00:36
@rizenwhich is just a conglomeration of webgui related sites00:36

@rizenwhich may or may not be translated into other languages00:36
@rizenif webgui.com.br isn't in there you should definitely get it added00:37
+perlDreamerThen, yes, I believe so.  Be sure you make a copy of the original weblog submission template and to use it, since future upgrades may overwrite your changes.00:37

@rizenyeah, but not just a page that displays it, but also feeds that can be used for external data manipulation00:58

@rizenbtw...i encourage you guys to check out gooey on the go...added a lot more gooey pics from scale01:26
@preactionokay. so now I'm thinking that both Firefox and Safari are mishandling my 303 Response and re-sending the POST to the redirect's Location01:26
@rizenwhat is a 303?01:26
@preactionbecause it can't be Apache01:26
@preaction303 is See Other01:26
@rizeninteresting...haven't heard of that before01:26
@preactionit's supposed to function thus: you 01:26
@preactionPOST your login; it sents a 303 Redirect and you simply GET the location, not re-post01:26
@preactionlike a 301 redirect is supposed to do01:27
+perlDreamernice pictures :)01:27
@rizendid you try it with a 301 first01:27
@preaction301 is what webgui sends all redirects as, until i changed it because i thought that was the problem01:27
@preactioni changed it to accept setStatus like I thought it would01:28
@rizenmaybe your browser doesn't know what to do with 30301:28
@rizenso you should just stick with 30101:28
@preactioni'll try 301 with LWP::UserAgent, but LWP::UserAgent does the right thing (the thing I expect) when it's a 303 response. if it does the right thing on a 301 response i'm going to start hurting things01:29
@preactionok, weird things going on now, but i have something to work with (7 redirects in a row for some reason...)01:32
nubapreaction: 7 redirects in a row is the hard limit set on LWP::UserAgent01:33
nubaif youre getting 7 then its most like because LWP::UserAgent didnt follow the 8th01:34
@preactionit's probably a loop because it keeps re-posting the form because it's 30101:37
nubahttp://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.805/lib/LWP/UserAgent.pm#$ua-%3Emax_redirect(_$n_)01:37
@preactionposting a form with a returnUrl gets you redirected to the url in returnUrl, 301-style. then the new url you're at reads the form (which contains a login POST), logs you in, and returns you to the returnUrl01:37
nubapreaction: if its of any use to you, when dealing with headers I use firefox's livehttpheaders extension a lot01:38
@preactionyeah, livehttpheaders doesn't show any of these redirects01:38
nubagood for capturing, replays, tweaks, etc01:38
nubayou've seen this one, right? http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html01:41
@preactionit appears that the status code isn't the only thing that's relevant. the status description is also parsed01:41
@preactionif I send 301 Moved Permanently, I break WebGUI. if I just send 301 Redirect, everything works01:43

Samus_Aranwhy is there no sitemap in WebGUI ?  it simply uses the menu, which doesn't even display the page titles01:46
Samus_AranI thought I remembered an actual sitemap in 4.x, though I'm not sure01:46
+perlDreamerSamus_Aran: It's just a navigation asset, with a specific template.01:46
Samus_AranperlDreamer: which is my point.  a sitemap should have more than just the menu items01:47
+perlDreamerthen use a different template than the default :)01:47
Samus_Aranat the very least the page titles, possibly the date the page was updated and by who01:47
+perlDreamerI'm not sure that those are possible with the Navigation Asset, you'd have to check the online help for that list.01:48
Samus_AranperlDreamer: I didn't see any template that would display titles01:48
@preactionhe meant make your own01:48
+perlDreameryou _can_ add new templates?01:48
Samus_Aranand a few of the ones I did try were broken so that I had to click back to even use the site anymore.  like the horizontal menu one, had no edit controls anymore01:48
+perlDreamerpreaction: Get out of my head, you HTTP header hacker!01:48
+perlDreamerhorizontal menu is for site navigation, not sitemaps01:49
Samus_Aranpreaction: I realise I can add one, but what I don't understand is why there is no sitemap in WebGUI after almost a decade01:49
Samus_Aranpreaction: I was trying each to see what they looked like01:49
Samus_Aran*perlDreamer01:49
+perlDreamerIf you'd like to contribute a beautiful sitemap template, it could be added.01:50
+perlDreamerand there did use to be a sitemap asset in wG 501:50
nubaSamus_Aran: the old sitemap is easily replaced with the new navigation 01:50
@preactionSamus_Aran, there is a site map that people use and find adequate. just because it is not adequate to you does not mean that WebGUI is inherently broken. this is an open-source project, patches are welcome.01:50
Samus_Arandoes the menu asset thing currently being used provide the variable for the page title ?01:51
+perlDreamerSamus_Aran: ?op=viewHelp01:51
@rizenthey all provide the variable for not only page title01:51

+perlDreamerto be precise: http://www.webgui.org/wg/contribute?op=viewHelp;hid=navigation%20template;namespace=Asset_Navigation01:52
Samus_Aranrizen: no, I am currently creating a site map template.  I found the page.menuTitle and am checking what to change it to01:56
Samus_Aranwhich is in the URL perlDreamer provided.  thank you01:57

Samus_Aranpreaction: the most common web browser (MSIE) does not support XHTML02:17
@preactionwe don't fix IE bugs02:18
Samus_Aran4.01 Transitional makes a lot more sense02:18
@preactioni'd rather not get into yet another philosophical debate about HTML and XHTML. #css is a much better channel for those02:18
Samus_Aranif a textual user agent tries to use the site and reaches one of those links, they will see <a href="#"> which is completely broken for them02:19
Samus_Aranyou mean #web02:19
@preactioni agree that XHTML 1.0 Strict is not the optimal doctype for anything. I would prefer WebGUI to use HTML 4.01 Strict02:19
Samus_AranCSS is for CSS02:19
@preactionno. i mean the happy people at #css love these kind of debates02:19
Samus_Aran*#CSS is for CSS02:19
Samus_Aranoh02:19
Samus_AranI've never been in there02:19
Samus_AranI am talking about end user functionality02:19
Samus_AranMSIE doesn't support XHTML at all.  user agents without Javascript can not use the site02:20
Samus_Aranis it not possible to at least use the URL in the JS link, so that non-JS aware browsers will go to it in the current page (which is what happens with non-frameset aware browsers with target="") ?02:22
Samus_Aransomething like <a href="http://real_url/" onClick...>02:22
Samus_AranI tend to avoid JS, and especially avoid opening links in new windows, so I'm not too sure if that can work or not02:23
@preactiononce again: this is not the place to request features02:23
Samus_Aranthat was a question there02:25
+perlDreamerSamus_Aran: The navigation asset doesn't have such a variable right now.  If you'd like one, please submit an RFE.02:29

danny_mkHi preaction03:37
danny_mkgot a quick question for you.03:38
@preactionis it the question you asked at 18:55 about parameters to a URL in an HTTP Proxy?03:38
danny_mkno03:38
danny_mkit is about writting an activity03:38
danny_mkI can't find any good documentation on workflow and activities03:39
danny_mkbut I will have to write about 12 of them03:39
danny_mkis there a good example anywhere or do I have to read through the code?03:39
+Radix-wrknothing in the wiki?03:40
danny_mknope03:40
danny_mkcheck it out03:40
@preactionmost likely you'll have to read through the code03:40
danny_mkdarn03:40
+Radix-wrkthere's a workflow skeleton03:41
danny_mkok03:41
danny_mkI know03:41
danny_mkI got that03:41
danny_mkI think you mean an activity skeleton right?  I did not find any workflow skeletons 03:42
+Radix-wrkyeah03:43
+Radix-wrkthey're one and the same I think03:43
@preactionyou don't write workflows. workflows are made from the user interface03:43
@preactionthey contain activities, which you can write03:43
danny_mkthat is what I thought.  I write the activity right?03:43
danny_mkok03:43
danny_mkhowever, how do I run the activity at a certain time03:44
danny_mkdon't I use the workflow for that?03:44
@preactionyou create a workflow that has that activity03:44
danny_mkand that is where I get lost03:44
danny_mkOK, once I ad my own activity and include it in my config file03:45
+Radix-wrkWorkflows can run multiple activities03:45
danny_mkthen the activity should show up when I create a new workflow03:45

nubawhen i first saw the halloween version of gooey in the webgui chinese site, i thought it was an hybrid of gooey and a chinese dragon18:48
wgGuest24what?18:48
nubarizen: cool about gooey there18:49
wgGuest24the password, i mean identifier of table authentication18:49
+perlDreameryes, it's stored as a base64 MD5 hash18:49
wgGuest24yes, i know, but i need in a macro,18:50
wgGuest24in webgui there some functon that do this?18:51
wgGuest24or i have to construct?18:51
+perlDreamerIt's a simple 1-line call : $encryptedPassword = Digest::MD5::md5_base64($password);18:51
+perlDreamerSo you'll have to do it yourself, but it's very easy to do.18:52
+perlDreamerYou should also check the wiki for a tutorial on how to build macros.18:53
nubabtw i think when I was reading this past month's channel log, someone said you cannot get the password out of the MD5 hash18:54
+perlDreamerwell, MD5 has been cryptographically hacked, so technically you can supply a password which will match the hash, but in general, you're right18:54
nubajust so you guys know, you can find a string that causes hash collision18:54
+perlDreamerhashes are supposed to be 1-way functions18:55
nubadepending on the size of the string, its a one day computing job18:55

wgGuest24?18:58
+perlDreamerwgGuest24: Are you asking a new question, or didn't you see my response above?18:58
wgGuest24new question18:59
+perlDreamerCould you repeat it, please?19:00
wgGuest24What I want to know is whether there is any function that I hand over the key of the user who is logged on, namely that I declare $identifier = ..., and Because when there is an update can change the structure of the database and can be damaged my macro function if I do this manually 19:01
+perlDreamerI did answer that question above.19:01
+perlDreamerIt's a simple 1-line call : $encryptedPassword = Digest::MD5::md5_base64($password);19:01
+perlDreamerSo you'll have to do it yourself, but it's very easy to do.19:01
+perlDreamerYou should also check the wiki for a tutorial on how to build macros.19:02
wgGuest24i know build macros, and too know digest::MD5, but then no there some way of call a function of webgui?19:02
+perlDreamerWell, you'd need a User object.19:04
+perlDreamerWill this macro be called on the current user, or a different one?19:05
wgGuest24current19:05
+perlDreamerin that case, $session->user will give you the user object that you need19:05
wgGuest24yes19:05
+perlDreamer$user->identifier($encryptedIdentifier)19:05
+perlDreamerwill change the user's password19:05
+perlDreamerhang on a sec19:06
+perlDreamerthat's an old method19:06
+perlDreamerit's going to go away19:06
wgGuest24this is for validated or for change the password?19:07
+perlDreamerchange the password19:07
wgGuest24no, i need validated, how to do?19:07
wgGuest24i need compare the password19:08
+perlDreamerThat's a little more difficult, since WebGUI allows more than one method for validating users.19:09
+perlDreamerIf you'll only, ever use WebGUI authentication, it can be done.19:09
+perlDreamerWhy do you need to build a new/different way of validating users?19:09
wgGuest24no, i need compare two password, the is in the database with other that the user write19:11
+perlDreamerIn WebGUI, if you don't use WebGUI authentication, or LDAP authentication, you have to build a new authentication plugin (like WebGUI::Auth::WebGUI, or WebGUI::Auth::LDAP)19:12
wgGuest24then i need know if webgui have a function that gives me a pass of user19:12
+perlDreamerThe answer to that is no.19:12
wgGuest24ok19:12
+perlDreamerWebGUI only stores encrypted passwords, not plain text ones19:12
wgGuest24thank19:12
wgGuest24yes19:12
nubawgGuest24: You need to compare the user's password in the database with a string the user will provide?19:12
wgGuest24i need the password in the database, a function that gives me this19:13
nubaperlDreamer: he can compare PWDHASH = md5(string provided by the user)19:13
wgGuest24yes19:14
nubawhere PWDHASH is the encrypted password stored in webgui's database19:14
wgGuest24how to get this password Without using a query to the database directly19:14
nubaIm not sure you can get the hash with the WebGUI API19:25
nubait would most likely be here if it existed http://www.webgui.org/downloads/builds/7.5.1-beta/api/User.html19:26
@rizenyou can't get a password because they are stored in a one way hash19:26
nubarizen: it seems he wants to one-way-hash another string and compare it with the pwd19:26
@rizenyou use the authenticate() method for that19:28
@rizenbut it won't give you the user's password hashed or not19:28
wgGuest24i need compare two hash19:28
@rizenit just wants you to give it the hash19:28
@rizenit will do the comparison for you19:28
wgGuest24i need convert the text in digest md519:29
@rizenwhat you want to do doesn't matter. i'm telling you that the api won't give you the password under any circumstances19:29
wgGuest24i just need the password from the database whitout use a query in the macro19:29
nubawgGuest24: read about authenticate() at http://www.webgui.org/downloads/builds/7.5.1-beta/api/Auth.html19:30
wgGuest24mmm, then i have to do a query19:30
nubayou pass the string provided by the user to it19:30
nubaand it will do the work for you19:30
nubainstead of thinking what you want to implement, think about what you need to accomplish19:31
nubait seems to me with authenticate() you'll write less code and reach the same result19:34

@preactionHaarg, how's the change to using ical recurrence patterns throughout the calendar coming?20:42
@Haargi have the recurrence stuff ripped out and replaced20:45
@preactionsweet20:45
@Haargthe hardest thing that i haven't dealt with yet is translating the ical to the form20:46
@preactionthe module doesn't help with that?20:47
@preactiondurn20:47
@Haargone of them might20:47
@preactionno worries, just wondering20:47
@Haargthe one that generates the recurrence patterns doesn't20:47

klnielsenis there another shared calendar format I can use?20:51
klnielsenI think google offers a few...20:51
klnielsenical would be best, tho20:51
@Haargical is what the calendar supports20:51

+perlDreamerSo do y'all have any ideas about the perl bug that I found?20:52
+perlDreamerSince it happens on two different OS'es, I was thinking I could take it back to the perl porters20:52
@preactionperlDreamer, that's where i would start. or misc@perl.org perhaps?20:53
@preactionif there is a misc@20:53
+perlDreamerThe big bummer is that when I tried to minimize the bug, it went away20:53
+perlDreamerso you have to install WebGUI to debug it20:55

@rizensubversion sucks ass21:14
@rizenat least trying to compile subversion sucks ass21:14
@rizeni had forgotten how much i hated it21:14
@rizenwow our irc wiki page is really cool21:19
@rizeni hadn't read it before21:19
@rizenwell, at least not since i created it21:19
nubaim using svk and enjoying it. keeps my depot in sync with plainblack's svn, and allows me to branch and commit my work21:19
@rizeni'm compiling a new version of subversion of pb svn21:20
klnielsenrizen: agreed.  I'm getting help because of it.  :)21:20
@rizencan't really use svk for that21:20
@rizenklnielsen: be sure to put whatever knowledge you gain into the wiki so others can bask in it's glory21:21

perlmonkey2In the source install guide in the wiki I want to change this "chown -Rf nobody uploads" to let people knwo that nobody should be replaced with their httpd user if it isn't nobody.  Should I just put that in parens next to it?21:29
@rizenor a note above or below it21:29
nubarizen: in the 1189004211 revision of community-wiki/irc baylink added a paragraph stating the channel is not for webgui users, but for developers only. Is that accurate? Dont we want power users, non-devel-people, here too?21:31

@rizennuba, sure it's for anybody21:33
@preactionwe'll take all comers, really. there's just a limit to how much "WebGUI is broken because it doesn't do what I want how I want" that some people (myself included) will put up with21:33
* perlmonkey2 is obviously a contributor to preaction headaches.21:34
@preactiondoesn't mean i'm issuing +b, but i will start /ignoring21:34
* rizen also pisses off preaction but for different reasons21:34
@preactionbecause jt doesn't listen when I say WebGUI is broken because it doesn't do what I want how I want21:34
perlmonkey2rizen: Any chance we'll be able to play with the latest WDK soon?21:35
@rizennope21:37
@rizendidn't you just hear me say that i hate subversion21:37
perlmonkey2I wonder if git is any better.21:37
@rizenit's not21:37
@rizenand really my problem isn't with subversion, it's with swig, which is what they use for perl bindings21:38
perlmonkey2Oh, subversion's WDK tie in.21:38
nubawhere is baylink these day? baylink = jay, right?21:44

nubayeah, from baylink.pitas.com "I'm Jay Ashworth. I've been an opinionated bastard on the net for about 12 years now, ..."21:46
nubaI think that by nitpicking you he might have helped you elaborate on your ideas and on webgui's design too21:50
nubaeven if it wasnt a pleasant experience21:50
@rizeni'm certain that every person i've come in contact with on the webgui project has influenced my decision making...however, there are certainly some that are more valuable than others21:51

perlmonkey2There isn't really any documentation on the webgui libraries, is there?  Like I'm looking at how getEditForm works, but I'm jumping around to try to piece its functionality together, which makes it hard to get the big picture.22:15
-!- wgGuest59 [n=wgGuest5@static-adsl201-232-86-73.epm.net.co] has joined #webgui22:15
wgGuest59hello22:16
@preactionperlmonkey2, the big picture is in Asset.pm->getEditForm, but you should know that if the definition has autoGenerateForms => 1, you don't need to play with getEditForm.22:16
wgGuest59i have a site that when i go to the map site i obtain an error but only in internet explorer22:17
perlmonkey2preaction: I'm looking through that super right now.  Just trying to see how it all works because the survey editform will have to be a custom template with a whole ton of event methods for handling client callbacks.22:17
perlmonkey2Just hoping there was a "wall of text" laying it out for the simply minded :)22:18
@preactionright, but it should only need that for one of the tabs, no?22:18
@preactionand are you sure you want the Survey editor to be on the same page as the Asset properties?22:18
perlmonkey2preaction: see, I hadn't thought of htat.22:18
@preactioni worry that editing a Survey for an uncommited survey asset will be difficult22:19
@preactionor rather, at the same time you create one22:19
+perlDreamerlike a CS, Calendar and Gallery22:19
perlmonkey2well, an asset should be one survey.  And the survey's top level config is going to be all ajaxified too.22:19
@preaction(when the assetId is still "new")22:19
perlmonkey2preaction: okay....very good point.22:19
@preactiontop-level config? you mean title, description, and the like? sounds like bad juju22:19
perlmonkey2no fancy smancy until it is created.22:19
perlmonkey2yes22:19
@preactionyou can have a proceed=editSurvey in your edit form that will bring the user right to the www_editSurvey method after they click "Save" if you want22:20
@preactionbut i'd only do that if it's a new survey22:20
perlmonkey2once the survey is created though, a lot of options will be locked, because it will break the question-answer-response model to change them.22:21
@preactionor make it a select box like it is on Layout assets and Folder assets22:21
wgGuest59the error is that a script is causing that internet explorer is running slowly, the pc would leave of working if the script continues running22:21
perlmonkey2preaction: Okay, sold :)22:21
wgGuest59do you know what is it about?22:21
@preactionperlmonkey2, what if those things that would break the survey are on the editSurvey screen instead? 22:21
wgGuest59because in firefox it works.22:22
@preactionperlmonkey2, nm, dunno how that would work22:22
perlmonkey2preaction: I see no real reason not to do that.  But it would break up the initial survey configuration into multiple screens.22:22
perlmonkey2But if I don't put them on multiple pages I'll have to figure out how to lock out options in the generated tab form.22:23
@preactionit is a chore, yes. but when you start storing questions/answers/sections in the database (in a collateral table i expect, not the Survey table), you're going to thank me22:23
@preactionthat's easy enough, make it a readonly instead of a text or select22:24
perlmonkey2preaction: So I would have conditions in the definition?  Or update the properties in the editform?22:26
@preactionyou'd have the conditions in the getEditForm method22:26
@preactionand you'd set "autoGenerate => 0" in the properties in the definition for those properties22:26
perlmonkey2 if ($self->get("assetId") ne "new") {//update def properties from inputs to read only ?22:27
+perlDreamerthen it can never be altered/updated by the user22:27
@preaction$self->getId, or if that doesn't work then $self->session->form->get('assetId'), but yes22:27
@preactionyou might want to do it the other way though22:27
@preactionupdate them to be editable on creation. with sane defaults.22:28
perlmonkey2preaction: Okay, let me sum up what you've advised.  I should put options that will break the user inputted question-answer model in the survey edit/creation page, and only put non-destructive options in the tabform.  But if I were to put them in the tabform, I could protect them from being altered in the way we just discussed?22:29
@preactionbasically, yes22:30
@preactioni would advocate the first opinion though. i don't like the idea of having things you can't re-change on the asset edit screen22:30
perlmonkey2Okay, I'm easily convinced.22:31
perlmonkey2I'm all for best practices.22:31
@preactionbut then, i don't like that you can't change those survey things either. but i'm not about to second-guess your opinion22:31
perlmonkey2It is intuative why they can't be changed, but I don't want to let the user shoot themselves in the foot.22:31
@preactiontrue enough22:31
perlmonkey2Okay, I think I'm getting the overall arch I'll need.  I'll use the tabforms for the survey creation and then replace the current survey's HTMLForms with templates and my JS client code.22:39
perlmonkey2Too bad I can't use the HTMLForms, seems like a very slick generic asset edit templating system.22:40
@preactionit's not much a template system as it is a generator22:42
@preactionand you probably should use it, do you want the user to be able to edit the template of the survey editor?22:42
perlmonkey2no22:42
@preactionthen you probably want to use HTMLForm to generate it22:43
perlmonkey2Do generate the edit questions/answers and have the drag and drops, etc?22:43
@preactionyou can write raw HTML to an HTMLForm, if necessary22:44
perlmonkey2There will only be one edit survey page.  It will be some static html/css building the layout of the page, and then a whole lot of JS.  Would the HTMLForm be better than a custom template?22:46
perlmonkey2I'm not really going to be able to take advantage of anything the HTMLForm offers except the far right column options and the top halo text22:47
+perlDreamerthat's the Admin Console, no the HTML form22:48
perlmonkey2Before I get started on this, I think it needs a lot more planning out.  I dont' want to create a one-off paradigm of doing this.  I mean, how should web2.0 interfaces be grafted into the existing standard asset editing interface?22:54
perlmonkey2The current HTMLForm is for auto-generating html <input>s for needed parameters.  But the new survey will have dynamic params and need input added, deleted, updated.22:55
+perlDreameryou mean like the DataForm?22:57
perlmonkey2I've never looked at the dataform...I'll go look22:57
@rizenperlmonkey2...you're pretty much going to need to one off it for the survey22:58
@rizenand then we'll need to base our design decisions for the asset system going forward based upon what you do there22:58
@rizeni know it sucks, but if you don't do it this way, you'll get mired down into a swamp from which you will never return22:59
perlmonkey2I could fit it into the HTMLForm, but it would basically just be the HTMLForm wrapping everything I do in a raw call.22:59
@preactionperlmonkey2, i've got some unreleased code that does a lot of javascript stuff in the Asset Edit form (no ajax, ajax can't be done in the asset edit form because the edit form is shown before the asset exists in the database)23:00
perlmonkey2Okay...I think I can figure it out from here then :)23:00
perlmonkey2preaction: I'd love to look at it, but the asset edit shouldn' tneed any JS now.23:00
@preactionif you want an example. check out my experimental branch: https://svn.webgui.org/plainblack/branch/doug-experimental23:00

+perlDreamernow there's only 1900 out of date entries in valid files to cut out01:57
nubawhat will happen if I "Commit to SVN" now ?01:58
nubacreate bogus entries again?01:58
+perlDreamerpossibly, but don't worry about it01:58
@rizencommit to svn just stores the translation in svn01:58
@rizenin case someone decides to deface it01:58
@rizenthat way we can roll back01:58
+perlDreamerbut the changes I've been making need to be merged back into the "master" copy01:59
nubabut how about merging the changes in i18n.webgui.org with ones commited directly to the repo01:59
nubayeah01:59
* perlDreamer suspects he just signed up for that job :/01:59
nubaarent both commiting to https://svn.webgui.org/svnweb/plainblack/browse/translations/ ?02:00
nubalooks like that to me02:00
+perlDreameryup02:00
nubaLast Change: jt: update_from_translation_server02:00
nubaeverywhere02:00
@rizenif pd has done changes in svn directly02:01
@rizenand you do a commit to svn02:01
@rizenit will do an update automaticallly02:01
+perlDreamerwhat if they conflict?02:02
+perlDreamerI just tried committing the Spanish translation, and it looks okay02:03
@rizenif they conflict then we have a problem02:04
@rizenand i have to resolve it manually02:04
nubaI guess I'll just export the translation tgz and timestamp it after work sessions...02:05
nubarizen: is /tools/translationserver.cgi all I need to run a translation server locally?02:06
@rizenyes, but you should not do that02:07
+perlDreamernuba: one other thing to keep in mind is that the Help files which point to the i18n don't exist anymore, either.02:07
+perlDreamerso that i18n is essentially orphaned02:07
@rizenhaving the translations out on a central server is motivational therapy for those looking to update their translations02:07

@rizenthe more we have the more motivational therapy02:08
nubathats true, man. it really feelt good seeing finnish and french going up too, as I was updating BrazilianPortuguese02:08
nubabut then I would be able to translate HEAD, not the lastest release running on plainblack.com02:09
nubathats motivational too02:09
+perlDreamerthe i18n server is HEAD02:09
@rizenplainblack.com is at most 1 week behind head02:09
@rizeni18n is not head02:09
+perlDreamerno?02:09
@rizeni18n = plainblack.com02:09
+perlDreamerOh, yeah.02:10
+perlDreamerYou're right02:10
+perlDreamerit pulls from /data/WebGUI02:10
+perlDreameron my system, that is HEAD :)02:10
nubasame here02:10
@rizentomorrow Haarg will release 7.5.2 and then i18n will be up to head02:11
nubaok. I wont touch i18n before that and we'll then be sure there are no conflicts02:12
+perlDreamerrizen: translationserver bugs get logged to the bug tracker?02:12
nubai wasnt planning to, anyway. thats something im doing on the weekends02:12
@rizenyup02:12
nubarizen: BTW soon there will be no need to differentiate Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese02:19
@rizenoh yeah?02:19
@rizenwhy is that?02:19
nubatheres a orthographic reform treaty which has been signed by almost all portuguese speaking countries02:19
@rizenaren't there only 2 portuguese speaking countries?02:20

nubarizen: having Brazilian Portuguese up to date gives WebGUI a great coverage in south america, plus some of africa 02:23
nubarizen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_language#Geographic_distribution02:23
@rizeni know. if we had spanish too we'd have prettymuch all of south america covered02:24
nubaSA is not like europe, where there's a different language in every town ;)02:24
@rizenand if we had french covered...that would give us even more of africa02:24

Radix__html::template::expr13:38
Radix__you can use java to bolster the base template engine up a bit, but then you get a javascript requirement13:38

perlmonkey2and having the most up to date version *will* break your older webgui install.18:12
perlmonkey2But the point is to upgrade webgui, right?18:12
perlmonkey2the database error is the real trouble.  your upgrade script is trying to create a table that already exists and then erroring out.  I sure hope you followed guidelines and created a full database backup before starting to upgrade.18:13
perlmonkey2But perhaps you can manually delete the table18:14

ckotileven if you put zsh in the hash bang?19:56

ckotilits really difficult to make a .swf clickable as a link. i think a good rfe would be implement a click through url into the file asset for swf's21:51
@rizenit's not hard to do it at all21:52
ckotilim able to make my swf clickable in safari and ff (mac only) every other browser will not allow it.21:52

nubaapeiron: leaving compiling/debugging tools in the system is by some considered to increase insecurity, as these tools would be available to any would-be intruders.00:54
@apeironnuba, Tell that to the BSD systems that've been doing it since before Linux existed.00:54
+perlDreameranyone know how to do a variable width, negative look-behind assertion in a regex?00:54

nubaim not a slim-as-hell enthusiast, but I do endorse the practice of installing barely the necessary in a server00:55
nubaso more like slim-as-needed00:56
nubaor too slim and you make the sysadmin's job a PITA00:56
spersynmandriva is distribution let's say for novices in linux. that explains why tehy restrict the possibilities, I assume.. :)00:57
nubawell i think a distro for novices should come with the usual tools ready for use01:00
nubato ease the learning curve of these novices01:00
nubaspersyn: you need to be a bit beyond the novice level to know exactly what tools you need to install in a server to accompllish a given task01:01

metanildoes the the template variable ownerUserId return the owner of the file?02:08
+perlDreamerownerUserId is whoever owns that Asset.02:08
+perlDreamerregardless of the kind of asset02:08
metanili upload a file with different user.. but its showing same Id02:08
metanilthen it applies for file asset as well.02:09
+perlDreameryes, although what template are you using?02:09
metanil"File Folder"02:10
+perlDreamerhm02:10
+perlDreamerlet me check02:10
metanilthere is folder ..and within it there are files.02:10
+perlDreamerownerUserId does not have a template variable for the owner of all the files02:10
+perlDreameronly for the folder itself02:10
+perlDreamerI mean, Folder does not have a template variable for the owner of the files02:11
metaniloh! that means it is now showing the owner of folder not an individual file.02:11
+perlDreamerYes02:11
+perlDreamerCheck out the file_loop variables in the folder template02:11
metanil.. what if i want to show ownerid for file. 02:11
metanilwithin a folder02:11
+perlDreamerYou'll have to change the folder asset02:11
metanilin method view?02:12
+perlDreamerwhereever the template variables are defined02:12
metanilwithin this -> foreach my $child (@{$children}) {02:12
+perlDreamerview is a good place to start looking02:12
metanillike this http://webgui.pastebin.com/d622a41c6 ?02:13
+perlDreameris getOwnerUserName a valid WebGUI Asset method call?02:14
+perlDreamernever seen that one02:14
metanilno no.. :D .. i added it02:14
+perlDreamerDid you add it to Asset, or to Folder or to File?02:14
metanilthis is from Asset/Wobject/Folder.pm02:15
+perlDreamerwell, unless it's available from all of the File Assets (File, Image, ZipArchive), etc. that won't work02:15
+perlDreamerwrong inheritance structure02:15
metaniland $child->getOwnerUserName will call WebGUI::Asset::File02:16
metanilany hints?02:16
metanilBut i think its going to each files within that loop.. so calling ownerId would definitely return the owner of that file.. (thats what i had guessed)02:18

ryuu_ro_SynQ had a problem with config::Json 1.1.4 too, but he's not online now16:33
ryuu_ro_If you want to downgrade I quess you have to download the tar form cpan and manually install it16:33

wgGuest31or how can i remove the module?16:35
@rizenyou can't remove it, you just have to install over it16:36
@rizenby downloading from cpan directly and then installing the old version16:36

@rizeni'm setting up a mailing list for us18:45
@rizenor do you think we should just keep discussion on the dev mailing list?18:45
CIA-40WebGUI: jt * r5453 /branch/WebGUI_Commerce: A place to put new commerce stuff until it's ready18:46
@rizeni just don't want a bunch of no-nothing opinionated bastards to interrupt our work18:46
@rizeni guess we could just ignore them18:46
+perlDreamerI'm pretty thick skinned these days18:47
+perlDreamerbut an email list has the advantage of keeping a record of assignments and decisions18:47
+perlDreamerI think it's a good idea.18:47
@rizenlet's just do it on the dev mailing list18:47
@rizenit doesn't get much traffic these days18:47
@rizenok i threw out the first assignements on the dev mailing list18:53
@rizenpd18:55
+perlDreamer?18:55
@rizenthe testing document you sent me doesn't even mention test::class18:55
+perlDreamerNo, it's problematic right now.18:55
@rizenoh18:55
+perlDreamerIt's the cause of that perl problem I told you about18:55
@rizenso i should stick with the old tests?18:55
+perlDreamerYes.18:56

dionakhey guys. quick question on removing a site. i recently removed a few sites from our WG installation and ended up with cron jobs trying to run against sites/dbs that no longer existed. Is there an extra step I need to do to prevent this? 19:11
dionaki'm getting ready to remove another...19:11
+perlDreamerDo you mean cron/cron jobs, or Spectre/Cron jobs?19:12
dionakare both created for a site when it's added?19:13
+perlDreameradded via the WRE?19:13
dionakyes, using the add site script. 19:13
dionaki use the remove site script when taking them off19:13
+perlDreameraccording to the WRE instructions on the wiki, the cron jobs have to be added manually19:14
+perlDreamerso I'd guess they have to be removed manually, too19:14
+perlDreamerbut I'm not a WRE user, so do take that with a grain of salt19:14
dionakwhat about spectre? should i check to see if a spectre cron is running before removing?19:14
@rizenspectre just needs to be restarted after removing the site19:19
@rizensame with modperl19:19
@rizenand modproxy19:19
dionakthat is the normal process. i'm just not sure how those processes were still in the system after removal but i'll see how this one goes.19:20
@rizenwhat processes are we talking about here? you didn't answer the question above whether you were talking about Spectre cron or unix cron.19:21
dionaki believe they were spectre because I recall seeing pb0000001 (or similar) in the webgui.log relating to the error19:22
dionaknot sure about the # of 0's19:22
dionakis that hourly workflows?19:23
dionakis there going to be a presentation at the WUC on workflows? i don't use them often and could probably use a refresher...19:26
@rizenthere was one last year19:27
@rizenwon't be one this year19:27
@rizenthe admin guide goes into workflows in quite a bit of detail19:27
@rizeni think you guys have a copy19:27
dionakok, we have a copy of that..19:28
@rizenand there is more about workflows in the developers guide coming out in a couple months (i know that doesn't help you know)19:28
dionakah, but it will. :)19:28
dionaki think i just need an understanding of system workflows and creating them.19:28
dionakfor instance, we redeveloped our site under dev.knowmad.com and then I ported the db over to production. i still have some workflows running for RSS feeds that are looking at dev.knowmad.com. 19:29
dionakstill trying to find those....19:29
dionakanyways, thanks. i'll go read a bit..19:33

@rizenhttps://svn.webgui.org/svnweb/plainblack/diff/WebGUI/lib/WebGUI/Workflow/Cron.pm?rev1=5356;rev2=535720:15
+perlDreameryes, I think Frank mentioned that last week20:15
@rizenthat is fixed here: https://svn.webgui.org/svnweb/plainblack/diff/WebGUI/lib/WebGUI/Workflow/Cron.pm?rev1=5454;rev2=545520:16
@rizenthe reason i bring i up is to see if there's something you see that i don't see20:16

@rizenor coming in20:19
+perlDreamerI thought that Frank fixed it last week after talking to me about it.20:19
@rizenlooks like it was already fixed in the 7.4 branch20:19
@rizenbut not head20:19
+perlDreamerthat would explain it20:19

@rizeni think most americans are at a strong disadvantage for not speaking at least one additional language20:36

+perlDreamerrizen: I have a spec suggestion to make21:04
@rizenok21:04
+perlDreamerI think we should have a version history page which lists changes in each release21:04
+perlDreamereither that, or have the doc itself under version control21:04
+perlDreamerthat way you can quickly find the changes, rather than reading through everything each time21:04

@rizenon getwebgui.com21:05
@rizenwhat else are you looking for?21:05
+perlDreamerfor the commerce spec21:05
@rizenoh21:06
@rizenbut even if we versioned the doc you wouldn't be able to see what changed21:06
@rizenit would have to be text or html21:06
+perlDreamertrue21:06
+perlDreamerand with text we'd lose the graphics21:07
@rizenwhich isn't ideal for the graphics and stuff that are in there21:07
@rizentext also isn't good for the tables21:07
@rizenwe'd need to use html21:07
+perlDreamerbut then the doc isn't flat21:07
+perlDreamerthe graphics are stored outside21:07

wgGuest31i have 7.4.21 installed 22:47
wgGuest31json again22:47
wgGuest31in that server i had installed json 2.6 and config::json 1.1.422:49
wgGuest31comparing with another server in the same version i noticed that the json version is 1.0 and the config::json is 1.1.122:51
wgGuest31and tried to install both old versions manually but the problem continues?22:51
wgGuest31what do you suggest me, upgrading to 7.3.24 would be the solution, or what else can i do?22:53
@rizenisawayupgrading to the latest 7.4.x version is your best bet22:57

@rizeni was considering that you should be able to do a match against city+state = tax rate23:48
@rizenthat way you wouldn't have to type in all the zip codes for a city23:49
@rizenbut i couldn't figure out a way to make that work nicely for the user23:49
@rizencuz in many countries it would be city + country23:49
@rizenrather than city + state23:49
+perlDreameror city + county23:50
@rizentrue23:50
@rizenmaybe we better just leave it with zip codes23:50
@rizenmore precise23:50
+perlDreamerthat brings up my other idea23:50
@rizenok23:50
--- Day changed Sat Feb 16 2008
+perlDreamerif we just use zip codes will that work internationally?00:07
@rizenyes, all countries have post codes00:07
@rizenat least all countries i've shipped to, which is more than 80 of them00:08
+perlDreamerthen we reduce the table schema just to taxId, zipCode and taxRate00:08
@rizenno00:08
@rizencuz there are taxes you might apply per zip code00:08
@rizenbut there might also be state tax00:08
@rizenand there might also be country tax00:09
@rizenso if you put in a state tax of 5.000:09
@rizenand a particular county has a tax rate of 0.500:09
@rizenthen you just add in the post codes for that county at 0.500:09
@rizenand together it makes 5.500:09
@rizenget it?00:09
+perlDreameryup00:09
@rizenthat's why i designed it the way i did00:09
@rizencuz most of the time you can get away with just applying a tax rate for a country or state00:10
@rizenrather than individual zip codes00:10

@rizenis that how tdd is supposed to work?00:38
@rizeni thought you were supposed to write all your tests first00:38

+perlDreamerI was reading the wikipedia article on it00:39
+perlDreamerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_driven_development00:39

@rizenwell that's cool00:40
@rizenunfortunately i can't do that00:40

@rizenthat's not what i mean00:42
@rizenjust i'm proud of how it's designed00:42
@rizeni think the process flow is so much more elegant than the current one00:43
+perlDreamerAre rates stored as multipliers, or as percentages?  5% vs 0.0500:45
@rizendon't care00:45
@rizenjust be consistent00:46
@rizenall of that info is handled inside the tax object00:46
@rizenso it doesn't matter what you do00:46
+perlDreamerOkay, I'll document it as percentage in the doc and the POD.00:46
+perlDreamerHumph, it says it right there.00:47
+perlDreamer"A percentage of the sale price to tax."00:47
* perlDreamer should be scolded for not reading the spec00:47
@rizenYeah, but the spec is only a guideline01:01
@rizendon't think it's written in stone01:02
+perlDreamerOkay.01:02
