That's from the "Are you secure?" block. It checks if you followed the installation instructions and deleted your admin/install directory. Since it seems you did that, you can now safely disable or delete that block. The block is just there as a reminder since we found that many people forgot to remove the install directory, which is a potential security risk. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.tinyweb.de/ From timur at tabi.org Fri Oct 3 08:49:45 2003 From: timur at tabi.org (Timur Tabi) Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2003 07:49:45 -0500 Subject: [geeklog-users] Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect.

I apologize if I spam anyone with this cross post. I took a quick look through the list archives for anything relating to this topic, but didn't see anything. I apologize if this has been covered before. I recently found a small bug(?) in GL 1.3.8 and 1.3.8-1 in the way that passwords are handled in database.php. My problem is that I have non-alphanumeric characters in my MySQL password (an '&' to be exact). I have always been able login to the DB correctly and GL has always rendered correctly. I just couldn't get the Backup feature of GL to work. (I am not sure if it makes a difference, but magic quotes are currently on.) I finally realized that my problem was in the way that GL was building the 'mysqldump' command. By default the string would be sent to the OS as: "/usr/bin/mysqldump -hlocalhost -uuser -pmy&pass gl_db > backup_file.sql" The problem here is that the ampersand (&) is bare. When the OS (Linux) encounters this, it assumes that is the end of a command to run a process in the background. Thus the dump would fail every time since the command was incomplete. The string should be sent as: "/usr/bin/mysqldump -hlocalhost -uuser -p\"my&pass\" gl_db > backup_file.sql" This sends the password as a double-quoted string to the OS and therefore sends it intact to MySQL. This allows me to have non-alphanumeric characters in my password. I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to PHP, so again I am not sure what effect the magic quotes being on has on this. The code from database.php in question (starting on line 67) is: if (!empty ($_DB_pass)) { $command .= " -p$_DB_pass"; } I changed the code to: if (!empty ($_DB_pass)) { $command .= " -p\"$_DB_pass\""; } Once I made this change the backups started working for me. I hope this is of use to someone besides me. :-) Cheers, -- Douglas S.

But permissions can be granted to all users to create albums or sub-albums (or whatever they are called) and to upload photos. The one thing I don't like so much is that if you grant all users rights to edit/upload pictures, then one user can delete or modify another user's photo. Maybe there is a way around this.

This applies ONLY to anonymous or non story admins. My problem is that MOST of the time, I have various story admins submitting stuff (using HTML area), and they have no clue about the permissions settings. So the fact that not-very-relevant users inherit the Topics settings is fine, but not that helpful. All users outside of Root should inherit the Topic setting, I think (?) Or there should be SOME way to override these defaults for any user, including Root (via Groups, or Topic setting inheritance) admin/story.php : written by a (Story) Admin start with a default set of permissions that : is hard-coded in admin/story.php. Ok, so I searched through admin/story.php and admin/event.php for $perm_group $perm_anon I see it in function submitstory, function saveevent but I don't understand where/what to change to override default settings. Where are these default being pulled from. Do I change them here or in the MySQL table? Some line #s would help me, as I'm quite lost on this.

Yes, that's what I wrote in the next sentence ;-) >Where are these default being pulled from. Do I change them here or in the >MySQL table? As I said, the default permissions are hard-coded in admin/story.php: function storyeditor() $A['perm_owner'] = 3; $A['perm_group'] = 2; $A['perm_members'] = 2; $A['perm_anon'] = 2; You should find the same assignments in the other admin/*.php files. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/ From wfz at wfzimmerman.com Thu Oct 23 18:36:50 2003 From: wfz at wfzimmerman.com (W.

I can't answer that offhand but we support Imagemagik and NetPBM now. If they can handle tiffs then we can handle them. W.

That's all I needed! Some of us are not that experienced with PHP, so this helps a lot!
