[cobalt-users] RE: cobalt-users digest, Vol 1 #3524 - 16 msgs



Hi All

I have a problem with .htaccess on a Raq4.

I've set up the .htaccess file and the .htpassword file correctly.

However when i try and access the protected directory the server returns
"cannot find server error"!

Anyone got any ideas why

THe files are setup correctly.

Is there anything i need to do to the Raq?

Thanks

Gary

This article explains how to setup ssh-agent and ssh-add and uses a

=======================================================================

They report that their permissions are all fine, and seem to be from
what I can see. This is a test script they've now tried:

<?
  mkdir ("/test", 0777);
?>

Returns the error "Warning: MkDir failed (Permission denied)"

I might take it to a PHP mailing list. Apparently the same script has
worked elsewhere.

When looking at:

there a

Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi All - here's the sit...

RaQ4
I installed all the patches without errors.
Frontpage form works fine - will go to https confirmation page,
data loads to txt file, email is sent - all is well...
but only when that form is called from http. When form is called
from https, I get the following error...

  Cannot open "/usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf": no such file or folder.

Now, I read the archives and found this gem... is this my fix?
Seems dated - since I have applied all the patches. Or, is there
something amiss with my patching? Thanks for all your help!

Mitch

Forms can not be submitted securely unless the following file is
created:
  
  /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf

If you need this functionality now, and can't wait for a RaQ 3 OS Update
package (I don't know a release date for the next update), please telnet
or ssh to your RaQ 3.  Authenticate as 'admin'.  Type "su -" and
re-enter your admin password to gain root access.

Cut and paste the following commands to the shell prompt:

echo "vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl" > /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf
echo "frontpageroot:/usr/local/frontpage/version4.0" \

echo "SMTPHost: 127.0.0.1" \

exit
echo " "

That's it! 





Should I do this? Anyone have any other ideas?

try this one

<?

if(function_exists(mkdir))
{
    print ("my customer is bullshitting me");
}
else
{
    print ("Hum, I hate this, my customer is right :-((");
}

?>

also check your php.ini file and search for disabled functions.

Here's a chunk of code from one of my scripts that I've written that
works on the RaQ. Note that I feed the mkdir command a variable rather
than the exact directory. The directory I want made is stated as a
variable before the command.
if ($process=="add"){
$dir="../photos/$cat_folder";
if (!file_exists($dir)) { 
$oldumask = umask(0); 
mkdir("$dir", 0777) or die ("Couldn't make the folder.");
umask($oldumask);
} 

So have them try defining the variable as I've done and then passing the
command. Also check the umask that I've got set - if you don't, you
won't end up with 777 as the permission of the folder.
