Thanks for the warning. I removed it.

Next time, please kill it yourself

Hi,

I have seen on campsite download site the phpwrapper is still (or again)
referenced. I believe it makes no sense
anymore.

I bet at least 50% of the PHP open source projects out there don't work on
CGI PHP. Besides the fact that CGI PHP is really a stupid solution. I
suggest we don't spend time supporting all kind of weird "configurations".
There's not a chance that a real news publication, one that has some amout
of traffic would use CGI PHP.

Hi,

we plan an system upgrade on edge server. To make an backup of the whole
harddrive before, the server will be offline for 1-2 hours, today, later
afternoon.

Best,
Sebastian

Hello,

Can you please tell me with more details how did you managed to
install campsite 3.1.2 on a cgi php account?
I am trying to install campsite on my Bluehost account to check its
features.
How did you made the function apache_get_modules() to return 'Yes'
before the function call, and the exec command thing?

Thanks in advance

My campsite is up and running!

I changed the CampInstallationView.php to:

public static function CheckRewriteModule()
{
return (function_exists('apache_get_modules')) ? 'Yes' : 'Yes';
return array_search('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules()) !=FALSE ? 'Yes' : 'No';
}

I did not change at all the CampInstallationBase.php file, but
everything seems to work ok.

Thanks a million,
Yannis

Hi Sebastian,

1. Replace all the URLs manually; we won't spend any more time to fix custom
written URLs.

2. Please check if the templates were registered in the database. Most
probably you dropped the templates there and the database wasn't updated.
The template engine does not display the tpl parameter unless the template
was registered in the database (Templates table).

I did open the templates admin page. And switching to template path mode, it worked fine.

Hi all,

the edge is back to live with ubuntu 8.04, which is planned to be supported
until 2013.

Anybody who knows sites/services there is encouraged to check them.



For those which want to upgrade their debian based systems

Once ago I read that upgrades should be done from version to version.
I did the upgrade in 3 steps from edgy->feisty->gutsy->hardy by changing
/etc/apt/sources.list for each step and run an apt-get dist-upgrade. In the
feisty and gutsy steps some dependency prolem occured (was not able to
install apache2-threaded-dev), but now it seems fine.
