I have a custom gem source installed in ~/.gems. My ~/.bashrc looks like:

export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gems"
export GEM_PATH="$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8"
export PATH="$HOME/.gems/bin:$PATH"

My ~/.gemrc looks like:

gemhome: /home/bjhess/.gems
gempath:
- /home/bjhess/.gems
- /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

So. I can run ruby jobs with special "requires" from my local gems fine via the command-line. However, when shoving the command into a recurring cron task, I get "no such file to load" errors:

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- flickr_fu (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
from /home/.../.../scripts/slurp_flickr.rb:2

And if I try to call a command directly provided by a local gem (say, "staticmatic"), I get:

/bin/sh: line 1: staticmatic: command not found

What paths do I need to update to make these custom gems available from cron? I've scoured the 'net and the cron wiki for answers, but I can't fine 'em!

TIA,

Barry

Maybe I can't even connect this way.

I have a php file called output.php which required dbinfo.php to connect.

Its getting to the connection and saying access is denied. I'm just hitting the url in IE.

www.myurl.com/output.php

Is that doable?

I have the php file on the server and I'm just trying to hit the file in IE.

I made the database earlier and I have connected through the web based phpadmin. I've checked over the user, password and added your advice to the hostname. I'm kinda stumped now...

I got this code and it looks reasonable...I have a require statement which holds these variables.

// Opens a connection to a mySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect ($hostname, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Set the active mySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}

Are you running a php script that is trying to access the MySQL database locally on your account or are you trying to access it remotely say from home/work?


Check your script uses your MySQL hostname,user and password and that they have been entered correctly.

Getting acces denied, so I must have more than that wrong...ugh

Thanks for the advice! I was wondering what that 2nd chance at making a hostname was all about...

Is this nitti stuff correct when trying to connect?

Not connected : Access denied for user 'sid'@'nitti.dreamhost.com' (using password: YES

Edited by Brad99 on 07/25/08 02:52 PM (server time).

When you create the database using the DreamHost control panel you will see that you are given the choice to create your own Hostname or accept the default of mysql.example.com.

You must use this hostname. You cannot use 'localhost' with DreamHost.

So in your scripts wherever you see 'localhost' use the correct mysql hostname.

That is exactly the type of solution I'm looking for. I've been playing with different scripts all to various degrees of success. The flash ones have not been behaving well with my htaccess files (im assuming) and the PHP will definately have the limits. Since I'm comfortable with PERL your script may be the answer. Thanks!

I would be hugely appreciative if someone could help me solve a redirection issue I'm having. This is our current htaccess code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule tag/(.+) http://www.domain.com/pub/mt-search.cgi?tag=$1&blog_id=34&Template=stare

The problem with this is that while http://www.domain.com/tag/example will redirect and search our CMS correctly, the redirection changes the URL.

Can someone please tell what we can do to this htaccess code so that the http://www.domain.com/tag/example will be 'sticky' and not display the CMS search URL.

Much thanks!

This question comes up continually, and while there are a lot of ways to approach the issue, I think the best approach is to use a script to facilitate the uploads (I know, I sound like a broken record with what follows ).

To me this is preferable to kludging together an FTP based arrangement because it is more secure and much more easily managed.

If the use of FTP (or, preferably SFTP for security reasons) is not an absolute requirement, you might consider an alternative approach. By providing a script-based uploading tool (or even a "filemanager" type application) accessible by users via a browser. You can eliminate the multiple users management issues and retain a single user (yourself, or the "master" user) as "owner" of all the files.

This "plays well with others" in that there are no suEXEC permissions issues, and you can manage *all* the files conveniently from your own user's account without having to jump through hoops.

There are *many* such programs readily and "freely" available that can provide this function (with varying degrees of quality, flexibility, and security) but you have to watch out for the PHP based scripts if you have files larger than 7MB because of the DreamHost default PHP max_upload_filesize setting.

One script that I use, and recommend, is uber-uploader. This is particularly nice in that it is focused on the single function of facilitating uploads, and because of the way in which it uses both PHP and perl, it is not constrained by a given PHP environment's max_upload_filesize settings.

By installing a copy of this (protected by .htaccess based apache authentication), and having the users place all files only in the designated sub-dir, you can allow convenient uploading to the appropriate directories while preventing "up-tree" exploring.

This is the method I use in similar situations, and I have found it to work very well - most users needing to upload find the web-based upload interface to be easier to use than FTP, and they are far less likely, in my experience, to "bork" stuff up that way than they are using FTP. I also think it's more secure.

The big added advantage is that at the end of the day *your user* owns all the files, and that saves a lot of management hassles.

I need a bunch of clients to be able to upload some PDF or DOC files. I was thinking of a PHP script to upload files but I heard there was a limitation of size. Some of the files being uploaded are near 10 MB large. If PHP wont work, do you guys know of a way to create individual ftp accounts and 1 account to manage all of them.

When you're selecting a username and password from your database, how do you write your PHP script where it selects the correct user_id for that username and password? Or does the database do it for you when you tell it which username and password to retrieve in the WHERE clause (provided you write the query to retrieve the user_id as well, of course).

I tried Rasmus' upload progress script (http://progphp.com/progress.phps). It always returns false instead of returning progress.

$status = apc_fetch('upload_'.$_GET['progress_key']);

That's the relevant line. This code works on other servers, anybody know what's up?

Just a thought - are you trying to access your own computer through your IP address? If so, I would hazard a guess that you are using a router that is blocking access to port 8080. You'll need to open up that port to make it work.

I am not sure if you're hesitant to provide us with the legitimate IP address, or just figured it wasn't relevant. It would help if you were willing to give the actual location though, it's hard to troubleshoot the problem without more information. Is there a .htaccess file on that server that might refuse requests from certain sources?

Could this be a permission thing to my server?

I tried other url, http://w3schools.com/xml/note.xml to replace my server url
The PHP curl code above executed fine with no problem.
I get the print out of the xml result.

The obvious thing to do is to test your script with a different web page (such as the Google home page or something) so that you can figure out if the problem lies with the script or the remote source.

I am not sure how that could possibly work even in your browser. The specifications for IPv4 addressing don't allow numbers greater than 255, and the IP address you posted has two octets with values above that number. What is that IP address?

Does that value exist in your HOSTS file as pointing to a different domain? If not, I am at a loss. Whatever the reason you're seeing something in your browser, you're simply not going to get a valid curl response from your page on Dreamhost.

Incidently, the code snippet you posted looks valid for all other intents and purposes. Although you're going to want to execute the "curl_close($ch)" statement whether an error occurs or not.

When working with curl I also assigning the response/error code to a variable, closing the curl connection, and then performing operations on those variables.

I opened the browser with this url, http://77.666.555.44:8080/file/test.jsp
That is a sample server address
It works fine in the browser, I see the page.

But when I run it through cUrl it stalls and returns a blank page.
The error message I get from cUrl is “couldn’t connect to host”

Any reason why?
I am new to PHP
If anyone knows the answer please help
I have been stuck on this for weeks.
Any advice will be appreciated.

The PHP code:

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, “http://77.666.555.44:8080/file/test.jsp”);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo curl_error($ch);
} else {
echo $response;
curl_close($ch);
}

There is a good reason that register_globals is set off by default with PHP5.

Why do you want to set it on?

Hi!
I'm having problems with a simple php function.
On my dreamhost hosting can't send mails using this function. The most simple code returns 'true' (mail sent) but i dont get any mail...
mail('tarsuar@gmail.com','testingmail', 'lalalalala'); does not work on my hosting!!! WHY??
http://www.unlimitedps2games.com/p.php script got just that line in php.

I changed php version from 5 to 4, and from 4 to 5. Didn't work, just received 1 time an e-mail when changing version 5 to 4.
Really need this problem to be fixed!!

I know php and a little of python, and i need to make a script that retrieves data out of MSSQL external server and insert's it on a mysql server (if can't be done with php) or just get the data out of the external servers!
I already tried to install freetds (and it seems it's ok) but when i try to compile php gives a error saying that a dir where i install freetds is not the installation directory!

If you have a customised PHP, try changing the session.save_path variable in your php.ini

Hello, I am new to PHP and running into a major issue with a user authentication class that I am using.

Error is:
Fatal error: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp)

I have searched the forums and found a solution posted by urbanroute in 2006,
http://discussion.dreamhost.com/showthreaded.pl?Cat=0&Board=forum_programming&Number=53329&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1#Post53329

I followed the steps by urbanroute and created a test page which worked fine, then i created the sesstmp dir and chmod 777, added this path to a .htaccess file, but still to no avail. In addition, the error still seems to be looking for /tmp.

I check the phpinfo() on my site after adding this line to .htacess:
php_value session.save_path /home/youraccount/yourwebsite.com/sesstmp (using my account info of course)
and the phpinfo() still shows /tmp.

So then I created /tmp in my domain directory as such /home/youraccount/yourwebsite.com/tmp and chmod to 777. Still no dice.

I added the .htaccess file to the following directory within my site: /home/youraccount/yourwebsite.com/, but should it be one above this? Meaning should it be here /home/youraccount/?

Also, I turned off Extra Web Security on the site to see if this was causing an issue.

I have my site set to use PHP 4.4x and my settings are as follows:

session.use_trans_sid - on
session.save_path - /tmp
session.save_handler - files

Hi guys, i'm having a problem with a bash script to run on a crontab:

i can get the script to login on a ftp and download all the stuff i need to backup and publish it on my website but i can't get the script to connect and delete the stuff that has been backed up. To explain what i was trying to do here is the lines i added:

#!/bin/bash
suffix=$(date +%y%m%d)
mkdir /home/user/domain.com/folder/$suffix
cd /home/user/domain.com/folder/$suffix
wget -nc ftp://user:pass@domain/folder/*.*

so until now it works fine: i run the script and all the files are backed up but i need to remove them from the souce so i added:

ftp
open domain
user
pass
cd /folder/
delete *.*

but the error is that when i execute the bash script i can see the shell at ftp: with no further action.

Also is it possible to add a line to automaticcaly create the .htaccess file in the folder that would just containt the line "DirectoryIndex some.htm" ?

Anyone can help?
