Can't login after upgrade
by Alejandro Exojo 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

Hi. I've upgraded some sites to the latest stable drupal (4.6.6), and in one of them (just one) any user can login anymore. I've tried to look at the logs in the database, but I haven't found anything useful. They say that the user has logged in successfully, but the browser shows the page that anonymous see. Any ideas of what can I do? Thanks in advance. -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) - GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://barnacity.net/ - Jabber ID: suy(a)bulmalug.net

Updating drupal - GET and POST
by Nick Holden 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

I'm upgrading an old 4.4.x drupal site to 4.6 - I've created the necessary two manual tables in the mysql, and run the update script. No matter what option I send to the page, it always follows the 'default' switch case, not the update one - $_GET[op] gets set to 'Update' or whatever, but $_POST[op] doesn't, and it's $_POST that the update script checks for. No-one else seems to be having this problem, so is it something set on the server which is likely to be at fault? Should $_GET and $_POST both be set by the URL "update.php?op=Update"? Thanks, Nick

Filemanager...Forgive Me
by Lists 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

I am struggling not to vent in this forum. This declaration may keep me honest as I work toward a non-violent solution. ;) After a few weeks of pondering the possible combinations of modules that will allow a file upload system that actually works, I've been trying to get the 'Filemanager.module' set up. After previously articulating my frustration [see "Once Again...Inserting Image Links" 2006-04-03 in this list], and being diligent in following up on the limited suggestions, I'm going to go out on a limb and say: 1. I am not an idiot. 2. There is no sufficiently documented process for adding file management capabilities to Drupal. Sure, there are a handful of possible "you could use this plus this" scenarios, each equally poorly documented. The documentation for 'Filemanager' is so bad, that I am hereby driven to further conclude that if a normal, moderately intelligent human being, with sufficient experience in web building, can not figure out how to install your software, then your efforts are self-serving and vain. Okay, that's that. Enough steam. But how to make this work? I am using Drupal 4.6 latest, not 4.7 betas, and I do have the Upload module enabled. Here is what the actual module settings screen says: > Public file system path: [ ] > > A file system path where public files will be stored. This directory has to > exist and be writable by Drupal. This directory has to be accessible over the > web. Changing this location after the site has been in use will cause problems > so only change this setting on an existing site if you know what you are > doing. Okay, I've got "assets/files" and the perms are 777. > Public file system url: [ ] > Base url that points to the public files directory. Okay, I've got that set as well, pointing to the above. > Private file system path: [ ] > A file system path where private access controlled files will be stored. This > directory has to exist and be writable by Drupal. This directory should not be > accessible over the web. Changing this location after the site has been in use > will cause problems so only change this setting on an existing site if you > know what you are doing. This is terrible writing. Firstly, since I am told that this should not be accessible over the web, then that means that it should be outside my 'public html' folder. No problem. I create a directory above my public html folder, and then I set its perms to 777. This is fine. But that means that I know must enter a path in the relatvie form "../../../" and so on, back up to that directory. Okay. This does not work. 404 errors abound. Okay, so no problem. I don't care about "private" files anyway (that's why they make .htaccess files, so I can lock off directories.) Moving on and ignoring this problem, this is the end of the set-up. There is no help file with this module, and the online threads suggest frustration galore, so I am not alone. Only there is not real solution. So, what happens with this set-up, which all appears to be okay (I got 'green light' boxes telling me my settings are saved, and a 'red light' box telling me the private directory is not present...of course, it is.) Since things seem okay, I try to upload a file. The file is, indeed, uploaded, but it now resides here: assets/files/working/0/<otherfiles> [that I've tried also to upload] assets/files/active/0/<thefile> And, on top of that, even though the directories leading to this 'directory 0' are all owned by me, with perms of 777, this 'directory 0' is owned by Apache, and I am unable to add to the directory or remove the file. (Similarly, and perhaps its the upload module's fault, the 'pictures' directory is now owned also Apache owned. No other PHP scripts I have used for upload have ever change a directory to Apache owned. This is poor form, wherever it's coming from.) Additionally, when I click the to-be-downloaded file's URL as displayed in the article/page/story/whatever, I get 404 errors, and in my Drupal watchdog, I get this entry: system/files not found. I have NO DIRECTORY CALLED SYSTEM, nor do my settings suggest otherwise. Where did the URL come from? (I know the module, but I'm just saying...) Can someone toss me some links or some reference to documentation that is actually useful? (I almost don't want to use this module just _because_ the documentation is so terrible. But... Arrggh.) Where to go? What to try? What other modules? Help...? -- Gary (With a grain of salt, please. My bitterness is only temporary.)

Changing Role Labels
by Lists 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Before I break something (and then someone breaks my legs), I am wondering if it is okay if I change the actual text names of the various [Roles] which are marked 'locked'? Specifically, if I alter the values in the `name` column of the `role` table (`rid` 1 and 2) to change "anonymous user" and "authenticated user" to something else, is that going to cause access problems? (I really do believe it will not be a problem, since language localization and relational design principles would suggest that the `rid` (role id) is the principle match column for determining access. Can someone confirm before I make a change on an active site?

special ecommerce application
by Christian Vetter 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hi folks, My client is a service provider and wants to offer his clients to view their bills on his web site. So the his clients would only be able to view the bills, but they could not set up orders in the sense of a web shop. I looked around a bit and found only few possible options, one of them being the ecommerce module for drupal. I installed Drupal and the module and set it up as far I could so far. Now it seems to me that this billing system is hardly feasible with ecommerce. Am I right here, or do I just need to delve more into the module configuration? Best regards, Christian

Acidfree problem
by Simon Schneebeli 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi all, I've just added filemanager and acidfree to my site. I encounter a problem when trying to upload a picture. I get repeatedly the following error messages: warning: fopen(private/filemanager.lck): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/simon/public_html/modules/filemanager.module on line 654. warning: flock(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/simon/public_html/modules/filemanager.module on line 655. warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for private/working (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/simon/public_html/includes/file.inc on line 533. I assume it's a problem of setting the right permission. So to which files do I have to change permissions? Thanks for help. Simon

Re: [support] A shot in the dark - was Drupal themes
by Kobus Myburgh 06 Apr '06

Hi, I can't answer the questions in your first paragraph, but I can answer the second one: whether style.css is loaded last is not the only concern. You can have one style overwriting another style in the same file, like I had last night :-) But in general, if you edit style.css correctly, you should be okay. Regards, Kobus >>> brucewhealton(a)yahoo.com 4/4/2006 3:13:16 PM >>> I don't know if this can be done as is, or with some css editing. I think bluemarine is a good one to use for customization, as stated below. But, I want to try to get the site to open on the image galleries. But, instead of opening with one image across and one row per image gallery, can I have the content area display images like they appear when you select an image gallery itself? In this case, the images go across, more than one column across? What style sheet would cover things like that? Also, if one wants to change the background and font colors on a particular page, would it be best to just do view source when displaying that page to get an idea which styles are being used? And if a change is needed, by editing style.css I can be sure that I'll be overriding any styles that might be defined elsewhere, because style.css is loaded last?

Thanks, > Bruce > I looked in the styles.css for blumarine and experiminted with it first. I actually already had a clue on what to look for, since I've been creating a new theme for a new site. Mostly, I have a test site with a few common themes installed, and additional themes that appear to do what I want, as I need them, then I experiment until I find what I want.
