[campsite-support] Problems after installation
  • Hello, everybody. At last, I installed Campsite in a CentOS server (No
    freeBSD available until one month Sad ).

    No problem with the installation, but I decided to install the web
    (content) on the directories;

    /docs/www
    /docs/www-common

    And the rest (program) under /usr/local/campsite


    Now, in /docs/www there are two directories:

    /docs/www/campsite
    /docs/www/negocio (the name of the publication)

    I enter through http://ipaddress/admin and can change the password, create
    article types, but not a new publication.

    And in http://ipaddress/ I get the following error in the browser:

    "There were errors!
    Internal out of range error: invalid publication alias [ipaddress]"

    Besides Im receiving in the mail messages like this one:

    Subject: Cron
    /usr/local/campsite/sbin/campsite_autopublish
    X-Cron-Env:
    X-Cron-Env:
    X-Cron-Env:

    PHP Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required

    (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in
    /usr/local/campsite/sbin/campsite_autopublish.php on line 6

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    solution for this? Maybe the firewall? Maybe the ISPconfig?

    Thnx

  • Please describe in detail all the steps you took when installing Campsite. From the error message
    it seems you set these WWW directories without configuring it properly during the Campsite
    install.

  • Mugur,

    That fixed it!!! Thank you.

    I am now at the point of configuring the web server and I do not know how to do this - do you have an example I can follow?


    I do not have a DNS entry as I am using a static IP address (this is an evaluation machine) so I don't know to edit: /usr/local/campsite/etc/campsite/campsite-vhost.conf

    "and replace $SERVER_NAME with the appropriate value. Your system administrator should provide the server name. It must also be registered in the DNS (Domain Name Service)."


    nor do I know how to:

    "Include the file “[instance_name]-vhost.conf” in the main apache configuration file." Do I 'cut and paste' the contents of the vhost.conf file into /etc/apache/httpd.conf or is there a specific syntax to include another file?

    Thanks,
    Joe
  • if you are working on a local machine without using a DNS server, you
    can create a simple entry in your "hosts file", usually it is placed
    in "/etc/hosts".

    i work that way, in my case my "hosts" file looks like this:

    192.168.0.1 campsite.localhost.localdomain campsite

    so, in the browser i can use either:

    http://campsite/

    or

    http://campsite.localhost.localdomain/


    regarding the vhost file, you can include it by using something like this:

    Include conf/vhosts/campsite-vhost.conf

    if you are using apache 1.3.x you can simply copy and paste to the
    corresponding vhost area into the httpd.conf file.

    both cases, do not forget restarting apache

  • Thank you for your assistance.

    I added the following line to the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file:

    include /usr/local/campsite/etc/campsite/campsite-vhost.conf

    When I attempt to restart apache I get the following error:

    Syntax error on line 24 of /usr/local/campsite/etc/campsite/campsite-vhost.conf:
    Invalid command 'Action', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

    Please advise,

    The contents of the vhost file is:


    DocumentRoot /usr/local/campsite/www/campsite/html
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/campsite/www/campsite/cgi-bin/
    ServerName campsite
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all



    AllowOverride All
    Options ExecCGI

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all


    AddHandler tpl_handler .tpl
    Action tpl_handler /cgi-bin/tpl_cgi



    Thank you,
    Joe
  • The steps I took are the normal (I guess): localhost for the database and
    SMTP server, default ports, user "apache" and group "apache", I inserted
    the vhost.conf file into httpd.conf and changed the ServerName... Last time
    I reinstalled campsite I used the default directories
    /usr/local/campsite/www and /usr/local/campsite/www-common with the same
    result:

    There were errors!
    Internal out of range error: invalid publication alias informes.info [the
    domain I provisionally assigned to the server to test if there was and ip
    address problem]

    I can access the admin screen and login, but when I try to create a
    publicaction I get a blank screen.

    Thank you

    should we include this also in the online manual or the dev pages?

  • Gracias Holman, but it does not the trick. I have reinstalled everything so
    many times and tried so many things... and the result is always the same.

    The problem is now I'm trapped: I can't install freebsd until next month,
    and I need the newspaper working this week or find another CMS which is
    probably worst than Campsite.

  • Hi Micz!

    yes, maybe the comments zone of the Campsite Manual is a good place,
    it is very useful because users can read a little bit more about the
    topic in the Manual where they are.

    it would be better to create a couple of wiki pages like "Problems and
    Common Errors" (for installation-related issues) and "Installation
    troubleshooting".
