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

Hi, I am looking for advice as to what to use for the server name(I used localhost) parameter when trying to connect to a mysql database. I am using this but getting an error. Any ideas?

$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());

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!

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).

Okay, I got custom php5, got apc for it. Everything works in that regards.

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?

Hello, I got this .htaccess setup on gwcmayhem.com

In reply to:

---

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www|webmail|ftp|mail|stats|mailboxes)\.gwcmayhem\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.gwcmayhem\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /home/kblessing/gwcmayhem.com/view.php?member=%1 [L]

RewriteRule ^~(.*)/avatar.jpg /avatar.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^~(.*)/(.*).jpg /userimg/$1/$2.jpg [L]

---

Basically it does what I want in regards of the subdomain passing it on to view.php

But I would like it if every other path (ie: if theres actually something behind the domain's / ) was treated as if it was on the main site.

For example if I do an image source of /~1/image.jpg I'd like to be able to do it just like that instead of http://www.gwcmayhem.com/~1.... having to spell out the entire domain of the main site just to load images, CSS, other scripts, javascript, etc.

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);
}

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!

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?
