[drupal-support] Replacing characters in all nodes
by paul＠chintha.com 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Hi all, Here at chintha.com, we have a not-so-common situation. At www.chintha.com we are using drupal for hosting a multi-language site. We have malayalam unicode and english content in the nodes and comments. Recently there is a change in the malayalam unicode character encodings. So 6 characters have new codes assigned to them by unicode organization. The new fonts for malayalam will be using the new encodings. If one user is using a new font, they will not be able to see the 6 letters, which have new encodings now. Eventually everyone is supposed to use the new encoding. The requirement now is to convert the characters with old encoding to the new encoding. How do i do a search for the old characters and replace with the new characters in all nodes and comments? Is it possible to do this in the database directly? Any comments/ideas/code snippets are greatly appreciated. thanks, Paul

[drupal-support] htaccess prevents writing to WebDav on drupal subdirectory?
by Cheryl Chase 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

I'm trying to enable htdigest protected webdav on a subfolder of a drupal based site (httpdocs/dav/). The presence .htaccess (drupal 4.6.1) causes dav write attempts to fail with write permission error. [Thu Jun 30 13:08:48 2005] [error] [client 67.169.68.156] Unable to PUT new contents for /dav/isna_clinical_cover.p\df. [403, #0] [Thu Jun 30 13:08:48 2005] [error] [client 67.169.68.156] (2)No such file or directory: An error occurred while ope\ning a resource. [500, #0] If I remove the last few lines in .htaccess (the following lines), the write succeeds. # Rewrite current-style URLs of the form 'index.php?q=x'. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] How can I make these lines not apply to my /dav directory?

[drupal-support] Drupal 4.6.2 / 4.5.4 (security alert)
by Dries Buytaert 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

The Drupal project has released version 4.6.2 of its open-source content management platform. Drupal 4.6.2 is a maintenance release that provides corrections of problems reported using the bug tracking system. Drupal 4.6.2 also fixes two security vulnerabilities: one related to the use of Drupal's input filters and one in the third- party XML-RPC library that Drupal ships with. Upgrading your existing Drupal sites is highly recommended. As the same bugs are also present in the Drupal 4.5 series, Drupal 4.5.4 is released as well. For more information about this release or the security vulnerabilities, please consult the release announcement at http:// drupal.org/drupal-4.6.2. Kudos to all Drupal contributors who helped to get these releases out, -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

has anyone got the search function working on an internationalized site? i get the following errors. I wonder if this is something in my config, or just that the search doesnt work across multilangs? thanks, /dc user error: Not unique table/alias: 'n' query: SELECT DISTINCT i.sid, i.type FROM search_index i INNER JOIN node n ON n.nid = i.sid INNER JOIN node n USING (nid) INNER JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE n.status = 1 AND (n.language ='en' or n.language = '') AND (i.word = 'yotte') in /home/.cailin/jgram/dev.jgram.org/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66. user error: Not unique table/alias: 'n' query: SELECT DISTINCT i.sid, i.type FROM search_index i INNER JOIN node n ON n.nid = i.sid INNER JOIN node n USING (nid) INNER JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE n.status = 1 AND (n.language ='en' or n.language = '') AND (i.word LIKE '%yotte%') in /home/.cailin/jgram/dev.jgram.org/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

You might set error_reporting = E_ALL while you are trying to sort this out, if you don't already have full reporting enabled. Also, is it possible that your "upload_max_filesize" value is too small for what you are trying to do?

[drupal-support] Problem uploading large files
by Aaron S. Pava 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

When trying to upload files through the upload module, I am getting an error (500 Internal Server Error) after about 3 minutes: 500 Internal Server Error Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, <webadmin at civicactions.net> and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. I've increased the PHP timeout to 1 hour and disabled the suEXEC timeout completely. Also increased Apache connection timeout as well to 1 hour. Still having the problem. I've managed to reproduce a problem: - 195.42.161.6:38460 -> 64.71.151.174:80: ESTABLISHED - 195.42.161.6:38460 -- 64.71.151.174:80: RESET (425.31 seconds) - 195.42.161.6:38461 -> 64.71.151.174:80: ESTABLISHED The connection got reset after 425 seconds (not sure why that number), then re-established (with no messages from the browser - it is only seen with a sniffer), but the data transfer was restarted from the beginning (not continued from the point where it was interrupted). error_log has only the most generic error message, unfortunately: [Sat Jun 25 12:41:56 2005] [error] [client 64.165.210.102] Premature end of script headers: /home/clients/websites/w_ions/public_html/dev/index.php I've tried replaying the sniffer dump into Apache and got this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK [...] ... grey_a__art_as_a_spiritual_practice__02.mp3</a></td><td>2.46 MB ... [...] So if my web browser would have simply closed the connection, there would be a partial upload, -- not the error message I'ver received. This confirms that the problem is timing-related. But we've already bumped up all the timeout values on the server that I knew of and 10+ minutes uploads have worked for others for testing. Any ideas? Aaron - - - - - - - - - - - Aaron S.

[drupal-support] Too many status messages in Drupal 4.6.1
by Wayne Johnson 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

I'm just setting up a new Drupal 4.6.1 page and having an interesting problem. I'm getting a long list of status messages coming out on each page. All the status messages from the last several pages in fact. It's becoming anoying. I tried searching the support forums, but didn't find much in all the noise. Guess I wasn't quite sure what to call the things. Thanks for your help. --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.

[drupal-support] Possible bug: wrong datatype triggered by content type configuration
by Gabriele Caniglia 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hello list, nobody replied to my last post: forum: "warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument..." :-) I have made a fresh install and started from scratch, verifying that every single step would not cause any errors. Finally, I discovered and isolated the issue. When you configure a content type, for example: /admin/node/configure/types/forum you *must* al least select one checkbox among the default options: Published In moderation queue Promoted to front page Sticky at top of lists Create new revision If you leave them all unchecked (that was my case), you get the following errors when you try to add content of that type: warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in [path-to-site]/modules/node.module on line 1296. warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in [path-to-site]/modules/node.module on line 1297. warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in [path-to-site]/modules/node.module on line 1298. warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in [path-to-site]/modules/node.module on line 1299. warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in [path-to-site]/modules/node.module on line 1300. I think you can easily duplicate the issue… Is it a bug or something I am missing? Thank you in advance for your patience! :-) -- Gabriele Caniglia
