If the edit page is taking you back to the edit page, this could possibly mean that the file you are trying to upload doesn't have the correct file permissions. E.g. if you are trying to upload a PDF go to the Module options tab in the Administration area, click options and check both allowed and disallowed file types and make sure that specific file type is allowed in the allowed file types and not selected in the disallowed file types. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/permissions-for-resources#post-73 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 14:07:12 +0000 landman1 73@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>I can't create any entry under Resources anymore. I know it worked before but now it sends me back to the input or edit screen if I press the upload button. No entry whatsoever .. not in the list of resources nor in the database!<br /> We where trying to fixed a similar problem before where members could not suggest a resource but administrators and mentors could (http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/broken-permissions-for-resources).<br /> The problem is a bit of a bummer since I don't know how to get files in this area but need to for the end of my course. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installing-on-dreamhost#post-72 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:40:20 +0000 apolaine 72@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Sorry, I hadn't been tracking the replies to this. </p> <p>Sam, you're right about PHP, I forgot about that on Dreamhost. I'll upgrade (and hope everything works still!) and see what happens, but it will have to be when I have a bit of spare time. I'll report back with some results.</p> <p>BTW, any answer as to what permissions the codebase requires? </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-71 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 05:07:59 +0000 dancallaghan 71@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Yeah the installer is the culprit, Paul is going to be fixing these things for the next release. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installing-on-dreamhost#post-70 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 03:21:44 +0000 sambauers 70@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>For number 3 it looks like you are using PHP4. Omnium relies on the class autoload feature of PHP5 and this seems to be in line with that functionality not being present.</p> <p>It's pretty easy to switch over to PHP5 in the Dreamhost Panel. Your WordPress install shouldn't be affected. There are documented methods to run PHP4 and PHP5 in the same domain at Dreamhost (actually, I wrote them) but hopefully you won't have to go to those lengths. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installation-mdb2#post-69 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 03:17:58 +0000 sambauers 69@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>User directories are generally more restrictive in Apache than the Apache root directory.</p> <p>Most of the problems you are experiencing have to do with the funky OS X way of configuring Apache. A bit of digging around the Apache documentation should help you get the user directories opened up a bit. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-68 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 03:13:46 +0000 sambauers 68@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>The ImageMagick in /usr/local/bin pobaly didn't have support for JPEG and PNG. The other ImageMagick probably did.</p> <p>There should only be one [programs] section in the INI file. The one at the top. The installer is probably the culprit there. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installing-on-dreamhost#post-67 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 02:59:11 +0000 dancallaghan 67@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I was up at Brisbane at the CreateWorld conference. </p> <ol> <li>I think this error may be fixed by part 2.</li> <li>This is a problem new Paul and I have been talking about recently. There currently isn't a field in the installer to specify what hostname for the database, which is definitely a problem when you are using shared hosting such as DreamHost. We are going to be implementing this soon, so watch this space. In the meantime you can specify this in the <code>custom/config/dataobject.config.php</code> file just add the line <code>$dataobject[&#39;dbdsn&#39;][&#39;hostspec&#39;] = &#39;apolaine.polaine.com&#39;;</code>.</li> <li>This is an odd one. Are you using PHP4 or PHP5? To check this either go to your Dreamhost panel or make a new test.php file with phpinfo();</li> </ol> <p>Overriding the php.ini file is another kettle of fish. But we'll see if we can figure these problems out first. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installing-on-dreamhost#post-66 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 14:56:54 +0000 eattheword 66@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>It was my understanding when I installed on my Powerbook that <code>database name</code> is the name of the *table* used to hold the omnium data in the MySQL database. It seemed to work anyway. My MySQL installation has a single database in which I have several tables for different applications, CMSs etc. I think my web host does the same thing.</p> <p>(ps) good to see you at Northumbria last Friday. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installing-on-dreamhost#post-65 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 12:09:29 +0000 apolaine 65@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>I thought it might be useful to document the experience (and hopefully at some point the solution) of installing Omnium on a commercial webhost. It would broaden the usage quite a bit if it was relatively easy to do, but of course one has far less access to the innards and set-up of the server. I do, however, have shell access to my Dreamhost account.</p> <p>So, far, just trying to install in a clean directory:</p> <ol> <li>Installer couldn't connect to the MySQL socket. Not sure why this is and I haven't investigated much further, but see the next point about this. BTW, here's the error code:<br /> <code><br /> Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/.jason/polainep/polaine.com/omnium/installer/install.php on line 107</p> <p>Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.jason/polainep/polaine.com/omnium/installer/install.php:107) in /home/.jason/polainep/polaine.com/omnium/installer/install.php on line 476<br /> </code> </li> <li>On the installer page you have a field for the database name. Here it's not clear if this is the hostname, just the database name or both (i.e., apolaine.polaine.com or omnium or both). You used to be able to put in the hostname in the cofig file in custom, but this appears to not be the case anymore. Most people if they have a web panel (or even just PHPMyAdmin) will know their hostname and it's not always localhost on commercial hosted servers. I reckon this could be clearer in terms of exactly what you want people to enter into those fields and/or you should be able to put in the hostname (as I think that's why I'm not connecting to the mySQL server isn't it?). </li> <li>So, I went for a manual install instead. But there's a step missing from the installation instructions (I think) which is what to CHMOD the codebase to. I have it on 755 at present, but even so I'm not hooking into the classes for some reason. Getting this error: <p><code>Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: om_omnium in /home/.jason/polainep/polaine.com/omnium/codebase/includes/global.inc.php on line 77<br /> </code> </li> </ol> <p>The install is at: <a href="http://www.polaine.com/omnium/cleint/" rel="nofollow">http://www.polaine.com/omnium/cleint/</a> if you want to take a look, but it's not going to get you very far.</p> <p>Any thoughts about this?</p> <p>It's not particularly urgent for me to sort out, but I thought I'd give it a go. Once this is going the next stage is to tackle things like setting the php.ini and mySQL filesize settings. No idea how I can do that and override the default Dreamhost ones.... </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-64 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 00:36:15 +0000 dancallaghan 64@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>That is quite strange! I think it must've been a problem with the installer inserting the <code>[programs]</code> area of the <code>omnium.ini</code> after the original one instead of overwriting it. I hope the installation process wasn't too painful, it would be nice to get some feedback on the application as well. The feedback you gave and problems you have found with the installation process has been most helpful, thanks :) </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-63 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 08:14:37 +0000 eattheword 63@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Ok, found the problem. 2 things:</p> <p>Ok, thanks for that. That means that although the IM programs *are* installed in <code>/usr/local/bin</code> something else is happening. Here's what I found:</p> <p>First, omnium.ini has *two* <code>[programs]</code> sections -- one near the top and one at the bottom, the second being a duplicate of the first! Obviously I didn't think it would have two sections. Hence, I changed the paths in the top one but the bottom one was resetting them!</p> <p>Second, although <code>which mogrify</code> returns <code>/usr/local/bin</code>, I found if I changed the locations in omnium.ini to <code>/opt/local/bin</code> in *both* <code>[programs]</code> sections, then the thumbnails and image zoom now work. <code>/opt/local/bin</code> has the versions of the ImageMagick programs installed by MacPorts. Why the ones in <code>/usr/local/bin</code> don't work I have no idea, but I'm not really a Unix person yet, so that's no surprise. The file sizes of, for example, the two mogrify programs are different, so perhaps there's a versioning issue? I can't find out how to get mogrify to tell me what version it is though.</p> <p>Phew </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-62 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 06:18:46 +0000 dancallaghan 62@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>This still sounds like an ImageMagick problem. I changed my omnium.ini file to point to the wrong path for the programs and I got an error much like yours. Could you try and check the path in the terminal and use the ImageMagick applications to see if the are working properly. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-61 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 12:30:01 +0000 eattheword 61@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>I reinstalled ImageMagick using MacPorts and changed the <code>omnium.ini</code> file to point to these versions of the IM programs (in <code>/opt/local/bin</code>) and still no joy. I created a gallery entry and have tried JPEG and PNG images with no success. The only images that seem to show thumbnails are GIFs. PNGs show neither thumbnail nor full size image (clicking on the magnifying glass). No JPEGs show thumbnails, though *some* show up in full size mode (but only some). TIFFs (after I changed the settings to allow upload) show a default icon -- clicking on the magnifying glass shows a 'download this file' icon.</p> <p>Does this offer any clues as to the problem? </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/news-picture-replication#post-60 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:23:36 +0000 landman1 60@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Thanks .. problem solved. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/broken-permissions-for-resources#post-59 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:22:42 +0000 landman1 59@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Ok, That worked fine .. so far. The suggest Button works now and is sending me to the form page but users can not decide whether their suggestion is a link or a downloadable file. Only the fields for uploading a file are accessable .. whereas for admins still everything works perfect. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-58 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 07:18:45 +0000 eattheword 58@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Yes, I have ImageMagick. Or rather, I know I have the Mogrify, Convert, Composite, and Identify programs in the locations specified during installation. Are there any other ImageMagick programs I need to check for? I know I installed it a while back as it's part of my LaTeX distribution. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/no-images-gd2#post-57 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 23:14:12 +0000 dancallaghan 57@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Have you got <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php">ImageMagick</a> installed on your machine?

I created a news item and uploaded a JPEG image. Alas, the thumbnail is blank as is the large frame that opens up when I click on the image. I have tried PNG as well.</p> <p>I assume this is something to do with PHP's use of GD? I think I have GD2 installed. When I type <code>php -i</code> I do see the following section in the output:<br /> <pre><code>gd GD Support =&gt; enabled GD Version =&gt; bundled (2.0.34 compatible) FreeType Support =&gt; enabled FreeType Linkage =&gt; with freetype FreeType Version =&gt; 2.1.10 T1Lib Support =&gt; enabled GIF Read Support =&gt; enabled GIF Create Support =&gt; enabled JPG Support =&gt; enabled PNG Support =&gt; enabled WBMP Support =&gt; enabled XBM Support =&gt; enabled</code></pre> <p>Any ideas? </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installation-mdb2#post-54 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:41:38 +0000 eattheword 54@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Another update</p> <p>Ok, solved the last problem too. OS X 10.4 has a sub folder <code>users</code> in <code>/etc/httpd</code>. Although the main <code>httpd.conf</code> may be allowing symlinks to be followed, the individual <code>user_name.conf</code> file may not. A quick edit of the relevant <code>/users/user_name.conf</code> file to include <code>FollowSymLinks</code> in the <code>Options</code> section and all is well.</p> <p>Phew </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installation-mdb2#post-53 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:26:31 +0000 eattheword 53@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Update</p> <p>I scrubbed all evidence of Pear and PHP and reinstalled entropy's PHP5 and then installed the pear packages. After dealing with increasing the various file upload size settings I got *something* to run. I browse to <code>localhost/~user_name/index.php</code> and it takes me to <code>localhost/~user_name/base</code> and presents me with a login screen. I enter the username and password created during the install and it tries to take me to:<br /> <code><a href="http://localhost/~user_name/modules/news/" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/~user_name/modules/news/</a></code><br /> whereupon I am told:<br /> <code>You don&#39;t have permission to access /~user_name/modules/news/ on this server.</code><br /> Sigh.<br /> What am I missing? </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installation-mdb2#post-52 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:19:11 +0000 eattheword 52@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>No joy.</p> <p>I've had a beast of a time trying to install omnium all round. The auto install *doesn't* create a folder on the web server with the name of the project. The manual install won't let me create a symbolic link to codebase/index.php and trying to access that file directly gives a 403 error. The auto install appears to work until you access index.php at which point I get the MDB2 error. </p> <p>There was an old version of Pear from PHP 4 on the system, but I thought I had got everything pointing to the new version. In any case, both versions of Pear have MDB2 installed. On my OS X system PHP5 is installed in /usr/local/php5. Can someone give me a list of *all* the settings needed to ensure harmonious working? That is, what should pear config-show give me back, and what folder should include_path in php.ini point to? </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/installation-mdb2#post-51 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 03:07:40 +0000 dancallaghan 51@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>It looks like you might have more than one installation of PEAR. If you go into your php.ini file which should be located in the /etc directory there should be the line <code>include_path=&quot;.:/usr/share/pear&quot;</code> or something along those lines which tells PHP where to look for your PEAR libraries. You can either change this include path to <code>include_path=&quot;.:/usr/local/php5/bin/pear&quot;</code> or install the PEAR packages to this specific installation of PEAR. Hope this helps. </p> http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/topic/broken-permissions-for-resources#post-50 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 02:57:40 +0000 dancallaghan 50@http://open.omnium.net.au/forum/ <p>Basically the function can be pasted anywhere within the class.
