We've been through this a couple of times in the forums already. Seems like Apple is shipping some, how should I put it, not-quite-working components with some versions of the operating system. Specifically, this seems to happen on MacOS X Server (Neil, are you on Server?), where the MySQL that ships with it is not properly compiled. Replacing Apple's version with a binary from mysql.com seems to fix these problems. Disclaimer: I'm using the consumer version of MacOS X that doesn't include MySQL.

If it is, this snippet did not fix the problem. Let me try to explain how it happens. You go to the page on http. You click on a function located in /admin. This causes you to be redirected to https. You are then prompted for the login to access /admin. You remain in https while you navigate around. You will continue to be in https until you click on a link that specifically calls http. You make a change. (Let's say you enable a block.) When you click save, you do not get the message that says your changes have been saved. Instead, you are back at the Block Manager. Nothing reflects that anything has been changed.

I posted in the GL forum, but didn't get a response :( so I thought I'd try here. Here is the problem: Pages on my site ( www.x-factornet.com) frequently do not appear to refresh properly. Pages display in funny colors with what appear to be code snippets in place of pictures or text. This sometimes happens when initially navigating to the site, but most frequently occurs when moving from one section of the site to another. Hitting the refresh button on my browser usually causes the page to refresh properly, though sometimes it is necessary to hit refresh several times before the page displays correctly. This problem doesn't seem to be browser specific, as this behavior occurs when using IE_6 or Mozilla/Firebird. My site is running on a hosted server that runs Red Hat Linux. I can provide other specifics if needed.

I posted in the GL forum, but didn't get a response :( so I thought I'd try here. Here is the problem: Pages on my site ( www.x-factornet.com) frequently do not appear to refresh properly.

This sometimes happens when initially navigating to the site, but most frequently occurs when moving from one section of the site to another. Hitting the refresh button on my browser usually causes the page to refresh properly, though sometimes it is necessary to hit refresh several times before the page displays correctly.

You can find me on Geeklog.net as user emagin. One recommendation to all Geeklog admins using Windows, is that you grab the OpenSource code compare tool called WinMerge http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/ I use it DAILY to update different versions of Geeklog to my latest production version, or for testing with Dirk's, Vinny's and Tony's great CVS work (and other too). The trick with lots of enhancements like HTMLArea is that they must be applied to LAYOUTS. So it gets pretty hairy if you have lots of layouts as choices in your install. With WinMerge, or unix equivalent, it's a snap to push code from one layout to the next without mucking up your code. You break a layout your site might not load!

None of the proposed solutions solved the problem, however, so I posted the problem to my web hosting provider (www.101sitehosting.com) (The text of my post follows below). who responded with the with the following: >> I think i've at least found the culprit. It takes many page refreshes but eventually all of those apache and MySQL requests take up the full 2GB of RAM on the server and it needs to dip into the Swap (hard drive) memory set aside to deal with memory intensive requests. This is when your problem occurs. I tried duplicating this effect on other PHP/MySQL blogs, however it only occurs on your Geeklog blog. I couldn't find any other Geeklog log blogs on the server to confirm this finding but the fact that some very well known blogs that I tested like PHPNuke, PHPBB, and Mambo OSM didn't display similar problems leads me to believe there is code within Geeklog that needs to be rewritten to account for Swap memory usage?? I'm not a PHP programmer, but that is the most likely scenario. Any thoughts? >> My original post to hosting provider: >> I am running "Geeklog", a weblog/portal PHP program on my site and am experiencing a puzzling problem. Pages on my site occassionally do not appear to refresh properly. Pages display in funny colors with what appear to be code snippets in place of pictures or text. This sometimes happens when initially navigating to the site, but most frequently occurs when moving from one section of the site to another. Hitting the refresh button on my browser usually causes the page to refresh properly, though sometimes it is necessary to hit refresh several times before the page displays correctly. This problem doesn't seem to be browser specific, as this behavior occurs when using IE_6 or Mozilla/Firebird. The problem also occurs computers other than my own. I posted the problem to the Geeklog developers mailing list and one thought was that it is most likely an Apache configuration problem. Specifically: ---snip--- I think the problem could be an Apache problem. If you are running Apache, check your httpd.conf file and look for #enablesendfile off when you find it, remove the remark or # and save the file and restart Apache ---snip--- 1) Could you review and make an neccessary changes in the Apache config on the server and 2) Could you send a copy of the httpd.conf for review to see if there are any other config settings that might be problamatic? If helpful, screen captures of the problem are here : www.x-factornet.com/geekscreen1.jpg and www.x-factornet.com/geekscreen2.jpg >> Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, solutions?

ADSL is typically 70ms from subscriber to the first "outside" router where cable is generally about half that. This has to do with the way ADSL packetizes the IP via ATM. Of course it could also just be that your ISP's infrastructure is choked and causing high latency that way. Most web servers limit concurrent fetches to 4 at a time, regardless of how your browser is set - this means your browser will fetch the base document then look for the URLs for any graphics and start to load them. Each TCP conversation takes 2 round-trip setup sets before any data starts to flow - and if you are on ADSL this means something like 4x70ms = 280 ms or just over 1/4 second to start getting the first graphic after you have the text for the page - and then get them 4 at a time until they are all there. If you have many graphics on the page, each set will come in 1/4 second after the previous set and the time taken will be the total size of the graphics files divided by the outgoing bandwidth on your link. On the other hand, your mp3 stream takes only one setup set (2 round trips) then it streams at whatever your outgoing bandwidth is until it is interrupted or finished. richard On Sun, 2004-02-15 at 17:47, dhull wrote: > I've got geeklog installed and working.

Also, I wanted links to my local site to match the protocol that was currently in use. They could all be dynamically rewritten. Perhaps rather than storing the full URL, there could be a [site_url] prefix that was stored in the link or article and rewritten when the pages are generated. It would also make it easier to move the site to another URL. The protocol stuff was as clean as adding this line to my config.php: $_CONF['site_url'] = ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443 ?

I've not seen this feature in any blogger/cms systems. Here's some feature requests for a future version: 1) Setting to allow Logged-In users to include images in their postings. I've hacked around with a new group that has story.edit and story.submit, and some mods to core code to stop authentication errors. It's not a clean solution because, a) logged in users can get to Story Admin, which may confuse some people, and b) when creating the article they get all the "techy" permissions options. 2) Option to CENTER images in articles, to make the pages look more balanced. 3) I'd like the best of both worlds when uploading images. The uploaded image should be scaled down to the specified size for the article, but also linked to another "maximum" sized image (much like "keep original image", but scaled to a config-specified max size). Small one for the article, click to see it maximum size (not original size). I'm trying to avoid users posting 2048x2048 images from their fancy digital cameras. 4) Perhaps a user option to display the author image in the article's header. I haven't tried 1.3.9 yet, so my apologies if these ideas are covered there. Thanks once again for a robust, beautiful system!!

Either escape the data, or validate it prior to injecting it into SQL. If there are plans to do this in a future version that's fine, but I don't think it's reasonable for geeklog to expect users to provide it with valid data. The other thing I would suggest is that either we always use POST methods, or encrypt and sign the arguments generated in a GET method to avoid either replaying or injecting bad data to geeklog. Nevertheless, all data should be validated/sanitized prior to use. regards, Drago Quoting Tony Bibbs : > the problem is the journal name has a single quote (') in it.

I read through too quick. Anyway, the thing that annoys me most about Geeklog right now is the fact that topic ID's are text-based instead of numeric values and, unlike most other primary keys in Geeklog, these you can key in yourself. This is simply bad legacy code from Geeklog's days of infancy. Report this as a bug to http://project.geeklog.net/ and we'll need to finally make this a priority and get it working right. I'm cc'ing this to the geeklog-devel list to be sure it gets seen by the entire crew. Again, if you decide to look into this yourself, any help is appreciated. The fix would need to occur in admin/topic.php most likely. --Tony Chris Besignano wrote: > I am not using the Journal Plugin. Just staight-up geeklog.

The actual problem here (that you could have a single quote in a topic ID) has already been fixed in Geeklog 1.3.9rc1. To quote from the history file: - Single quotes are now silently stripped from topic IDs (bug #113). >the thing that >annoys me most about Geeklog right now is the fact that topic ID's are >text-based instead of numeric values and, unlike most other primary keys >in Geeklog, these you can key in yourself It may not be such a bad thing after all. At least it makes for more readable URLs. Compare http://www.geeklog.net/index.php?topic=GeekLog with http://www.geeklog.net/index.php?topic=42 Of course, a text-based ID has all sorts of problems like spelling, upper/lower case, and, of course, special characters ... bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/ From e at marinx.com Sun Feb 29 15:10:31 2004 From: e at marinx.com (ed) Date: Sun, 29 Feb 2004 12:10:31 -0800 Subject: [geeklog-users] RSS to share Stories Content Message-ID: <40424737.2020403@marinx.com> I was wondering if it would be possilbe to use GL RSS feeds to share actual content across multiple geeklog sites. I realize you can use syndication plugin (1.3.9rc1) to share multiple rss feeds. This is very nice and I appreciate it. But what if two or more "sister" GL sites want to share all their content under an "umbrella" GL site? Would it be possible to use the RSS to create Story Intro Text content, and then the READ MORE link could link out to the sister site. It seems very powerful to me, sort of a step beyond the traditional sindication. Incorporate storing the Intro Text items into the LOCAL DB store, make it searchable, now you have truly integrated content. Maybe in the Topics Admin section you have: Topic External Topic (RSS) | -- RSS address = URL -- Limit Story Intro Text = xx characters -- If no Intro Text import = y/n -- Store in local datastore = y/n -- Searchable = y/n (*note impact on performance and frequency of updates) -- Security context permissions, etc. -- Two-way Add New Stories = y/n -- RSS feed for sister sites to subscribe to = path/name.xml What do you think? Doable?
