http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/mod_proxying-to-a-bare-apache-in-wre-0_8 I thought we used to have a note on the wiki or somewhere explaining how to configure mod_proxy to point a specific domain to a bare apache running on the same machine (or just right to an htdocs directory), but I don't seem to be able to find it. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/mod_proxying-to-a-bare-apache-in-wre-0_8 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:19:16 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/cant-locate-handle-in-aprrequestapache2 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/cant-locate-handle-in-aprrequestapache2 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:52:35 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/webgui-listening-on-another-port Is there anyway to have WebGUI listen on another port, like 15000 as well as 80/8080? Reason being is that my ISP blocks ports for webservers. I added Listen 15000 in /data/wre/etc/modproxy.conf http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/webgui-listening-on-another-port Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:28:51 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/changing/adding-webserver-port It seems my ISP is blocking incoming requests for Webservers. I have the firewall configured correctly. I added Listen 15000 to my ports.conf for Apache2. I presume WebGUI intercepts the normal Apache2 server? Is there a way to add the port to what WebGUI listens for?

I installed Ubuntu server 8.04 with LAMP. I tried to install WebGUI 7.4.40 (stable) from source and found that some of the requirements (latest ImageMagick) weren't installed and must have botched it up somehow. When I ran the testEnvironment.pl script, there were many Perl modules that were not installed and I had a hard time finding the latest versions of the modules , if I could find the modules. I was using CPAN, but it wouldn't compile/install the modules correctly and kept giving me errors. I am using aptitude to search and install the packages otherwise. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/installing-on-ubuntu-8_04 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:08:23 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/corrupt-asset-tree I just started using WebGUI to develope a new community website for Adobe Flex/Domino developers and I'm now the second time faced with a completely corrupted asset tree: http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/corrupt-asset-tree Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:18:05 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/spectre- Couldn't connect to Spectre because Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:32133: Connection refused http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/spectre- Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:14:03 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/need-help-with-awstats On my new wre install, awstats.www.domaine.com.conf was created in /data/wre/etc/.

I don't have anything else on the box at this point and don't mind starting from scratch. What I want to know is: Which specific distro would give me a guaranteed-working easy-as-pie install?

My name is Maria and I am a newbie in CMS's, open source and websites. I am trying to do a WRE install and I am using Winwows XP. As I understand there are different WRE versions depending on platforms, and there is one for windows but also one platform independent? This platform independent type, is that one adjusted for both windows, linux and others? And does that mean that you can both install and manage content from all these OS's? I am doing this in helping a Swedish organisation which uses a web host called Loopia. I do not know what services or applications they can provide (but could of course look it up), but it is adjusted for both databases/mysql, phplanguage and more although I don't know how we will be able to use that while using webGUI. I have now downloaded wre-0.8.3-source.tar.gz, as I understand the platform independent version. I have been reading the WRE install help but it's a lot greek to me- I understand it as if these instructions "1. Unpack the archive. mkdir /data cd /data tar xvfz /path/to/wre-x.x.x-osname.tar.gz" ...are meant to be commands in some special protocol or language. Cause I suppose it isn't names of the files in the archive? Could someone of you be able to help mne further? Is there maybe somewhere a guide that is adjusted for not as experienced people? Thanks in advance!

So I've tried so many different combinations it's not funny. Has anyone succesfully installed ImageMagick/PerlMagick for windows xp? I've got a problem where I can't get the thumbnails to be created, and I'm fairly certain it has to do with the fact that my ImageMagick / PerlMagick versions are incorrect. But I can't find the right versions online. I've tried to do an "install Image::Magick" via cpan, but when I do that it fails (see below). So I've tried to get the binary online, but the 6.4.0 binary for windows I can't get the PerlMagick to install (in the instructions it says to do: ppm install Image-Magick.ppd) and when I do that I get: ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform. I've tried pervious versions of ImageMagick but they give the same error: cl : Command line error D8004 : '/W' requires an argument (see below). Any help would be appreciated. It shouldn't be this hard to install ImageMagick/PerlMagick on my system... Thanks! =========================================== Checking if your kit is complete...

I've done a source install (my server is built from sources, no distro) and had webgui running fine, but, of course had to take down my existing apache and mysql to do that. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/install-with-existing-websites Sun, 09 Mar 2008 08:10:29 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/monitoring-bandwidth-in-wre http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/monitoring-bandwidth-in-wre Thu, 06 Mar 2008 08:22:35 -0600 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/lighttpd-webserver-with-webgui Hi, I am thinking of using Lighttpd (http://www.lighttpd.net) as the proxy server instead of Apache simply because it is lighter and faster. Got that information from the web. Does anyone have some experience with lighttpd? Need to find out how to convert the apache proxy config with the rewrite into lighttpd config. If anyone has some experince with lighttpd, please share the links or knowledge on how to do this. Especially the rewrite rules.

I understand it is not meant for "production-purposes".. But I have a site under development, which is probably ready by the time 7.5.x is getting stable... Want to start for instance with modifying the gallery. (RHEL4 / WRE 0.8.3 / WG 7.4.25 running smooth) http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/7_5_3-beta---how-stable Tue, 26 Feb 2008 10:35:19 -0600 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/plesk-enviroment I plan on installing WebGUI 7 (Stable Release) this week on a new dedicated server. For the past few years I've been using WebGUI 5.5.4 to host several sites with NO complaints, using Fedora Core 2 Linux 2.6.11.9 and Plesk 7. Now I want to turn it up a notch The new server comes pre-installed with: Dual Core AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2 x 2.2 GHz 2 GB DDR RAM Fedora Core 6 (Linux) Plesk 8 I don't want to interfer with Plesk by installing WebGUI, this is why I think a source install would be better??? I don't need Plesk to administer WebGUI sites, that I do manually, I use plesk to create and manage my vhosts, and manually add any site to use WebGUI. My questions are: Source install or WRE? Anyone else using the same enviroment with tips? I made a feeble attempt last year to do this, and although I managed to install and run webgui and spectre they were never able to communicate with the vhost. This week a fresh approach. I will have many question to come.

The errMsg in the browser is "Modperl did not start successfully". modperl.error.log is more informative--"WebGUI': You must have either Graphics::Magick or Image::Magick installed to run WebGUI" and the error log backtracks up the call stack. I had daegbat's problem starting wreconsole.pl mentioned in this thread (http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/windows-wre-0_8_1#daHVKwBwoZC1_VAYTjrlng). This problem is related to Active State Perl 5.10's being installed. Since I need perl for my own scripts, I worked around the problem by starting wreconsole with an absolute path (c:\data\wre\prereqs\bin\perl wreconsole.pl). Is it possible that I am running some strange mixture of Active State's Perl 5.10 and WRE's Perl 5.8.8? Does anyone have any idea how I can run wreconsole.pl without uninstalling Active State Perl 5.10? I could mess around with environment variables to disable Active State but I'd prefer any other solution.

The upgrade scripts all ran smoothly (with tweaks) but the site is non-functional in some fairly frustrating ways-- mainly, the site "style" is outdated and the admin console won't work reliably using the updated style. (I can get into some of the admin functions, but it won't let me edit any assets). There's nothing special about the style we're using, so I would love to create or install a new style, which seems like it would fix this problem. However, I haven't been able to get any new styles installed and working. Any suggestions for solving this chicken-and-egg problem? I'm pretty technically sophisticated, have an expert-level understanding of MySQL and an advanced beginner's understanding of perl, but I'm pretty stumped by this issue. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/dealing-with-styles-on-an-upgraded-site Sun, 18 Nov 2007 00:32:15 -0600 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/fyi---wre0_8-on-amazon-ec2 If you are trying out WG7 and WRE0.8 on Amazon EC2, the new EC2 instances use NAT addresses (with both a public and private address). You can accept the default stock wre install for everything except for one thing: In the sitename.modproxy config, you need to manually update this: # proxy webgui pages #RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8081/$1 [P] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://<INTERNAL_IP>:8081/$1 [P] I haven't found out how to dynamically grab the internal IP, so for now it is just hard coded in. Using HTTP_HOST will result in a bad gateway error. Hope this helps anyone else using EC2. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/fyi---wre0_8-on-amazon-ec2 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:16:04 -0600 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/clarification---back-to-site-in-asset-tree-folder-view On a box-stock 7.4.13/0.8.0 install I've just done (SLES10 over OpenSUSE 10.2, which seems to work just fine -- at least it works the same as my RHEL4 over CentOS 4.5 install), the Back To Site link on the right sidebar of a Asset Tree view of a folder points to that folder, without "?func=manageAssets" at the end, which comes up in what appears to be the Fail Safe style, according to part of a sloppy bug ticket I recently closed. So my request is for clarification: is that really the best place that "Back to Site" could be aimed at, on that category of page? At other places in the Admin interface, it seems, pretty uniformly, to point back to /home, instead, which makes more sense to me based on how it's labeled. If I'm the only one who thinks its target should be changed, shouldn't it at least stay in the admin style, instead of dropping back to FailSafe? I'd be interested to hear some discussion; if there's a concensus, I'll file a feech.

There were some theories about DNS issues, but nothing definitive and the problem hasn't appeared since. We haven't seen the issue in 7.3.21 (current live system) but it has re-appeared in our test system running the latest 7.4.13 Symptoms: when using forms that send mail, the messages get queued up in the database table "mailQueue" but they are not released and there is no indication of activity in the postfix log. In the past when this happened, we could restart postfix and restart webgui, and somehow that seemed to trigger them. Now that does not seem to work either. I've also tried pressing "Run" under Admin Console-> Scheduler-> Send Queued Email Messages Every 5 Minutes but that also does not seem to do anything (it says "done" but no activity in postfix log, and records still in mailQueue table) Any suggestions? Thanks. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/outgoing-mail-stuck-in-webgui-mailqueue Fri, 09 Nov 2007 12:22:12 -0600 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/problem-with-unstyled-pages---long-and-wide ( I apologize for the wide; I don't know why the editor isn't wordwrapping this; there's no PRE in it...) Ok. My Saturday afternoon problem was 3 different interacting things: Bad permissions on 2 different uploads folders The fact that WG was trying to upload to one and download from the other one (likely due either to a blown upgrade or an incompatibility; it went away when I reinstalled WRE from production). The fact that I forgot to FileUrl the background img calls in the CSS Having fixed all of those things, I'm getting mostly what I expect. But there are two places where I still get a page back from WG with no style sheet on it. One of them is when I try to click throuh to an entry I've put in a wiki; the page is /concordance, and the wiki is conc-wiki. Clicking into an entry in Recent Changes gives me a completely templated page, but with no CSS. The CSS link in the source appears correct, but I get this in webgui.log: 2007/10/29 07:57:09 - WARN - www.heinleinsociety.org.conf - main::[[undef]] - Th e URL conc-wiki/root/themes/ths-08-theme/midnight.css was requested, but does no t exist in your asset tree. Note that it's apparently trying to improperly prepend the name of the asset on the page to the name of the css (which, in the template, is root/themes/ths-08-theme/midnight.css . I've tried replacing root/ with ^/; as suggested here but that breaks the CSS on all pages, even if I put in the extra slash that's missing there: ^/;/ .) Secondly, the "Back to Site" links on the asset tree viewer pages which I get back after I edit an asset, don't point to a real page on the site, they point to, frex: http://www.baylink.com/root/themes/ths-08-theme?noCache=845:1193665664 which page comes back to me, also unstyled. No entry in webgui.log this time, but the debug on the page looks like this: { http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/problem-with-unstyled-pages---long-and-wide Mon, 29 Oct 2007 08:53:17 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/filepile-returns-to-unstyled-folder-list-no-pics 7.4.11; just upgraded atop WRE 0.8 using the auto upgrade feature.

This is from a freshly created site made with the wreconsole and not the site wizard. Be happy to post log snippets but not sure which ones are useful.

In the WUC talk about logging I learned that you can do all sorts of things with the logfiles and configuration thereof. Yet I cannot find anything on this on the webgui.org or plainblack.com site. I assume that there is some documentation on this in the WebGUI Administrators Guide book or in WebGUI Done Right. I cannot confirm this though. I didn't recieve the ordered Administrators Guide yet. I'd like to create one or more wiki pages on the subject that contain at least a startingpoint for using the logfiles. Would that be appreciated? http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/how-to-interpret-and-where-to-find-logs Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:40:38 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/mysql-error-during-0_8_0 Hi, Installed http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/mysql-error-during-0_8_0 Fri, 19 Oct 2007 13:46:04 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/pass-in-object-came-back-undefined This is probably similar to the other question I posted.

I did a few searches and didn't see anything, but it admittedly wasn't the most thorough look possible. I just completed a source install on a solaris 10 server. I ran into several issues which I think I managed to deal with myself, and a couple that are still fighting me. Item the first: gcc 3.4.3 gave me some trouble. I ended up installing gcc 3.4.5 via pkg-get and that allowed me to start compiling lftp (the first of the prereqs, I believe). Second: there's a problem with the openssl source that prevents a successful compile. It wants to use the compiler option -march=ultrasparc, but I think it's supposed to be -mcpu=ultrasparc. There are 2-4 files in the source for openssl that I changed (config, Configure, and I can't remember the other two) to allow openssl to compile. Next, once it's installed, the default apache configurations call for the group to be #-1, which doesn't seem to work for me on solaris. I created a group called webgui, altered the apache configs for modperl and modproxy, and then changed file ownership accordingly. Next, apache was having problems starting because it said that Apache2::SizeLimit wasn't implemented on solaris. I tracked this down to an improper version comparison in SizeLimit.pm, which evaluates the version as a string and thus thinks that '2.10' is less than '2.6'. Now, with this all done, I'm able to start up the webconsole and define a site. However, I'm now having two problems I don't know how to solve. First, I'm getting errors in modperl.error.log about Apache2::SizeLimit httpd process too big. I'm not sure how to tweak values to allow this to work. Next, I'm getting sql errors when I try to go to the news section of a site I created. It says that the column 'dateUpdated' in an order clause isn't defined. Did I do something improper when defining my site, or am I expected to do some additional task to complete the table definitions in mysql? Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/solaris-10-install-struggles Sat, 13 Oct 2007 15:53:01 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/env_proxy-during-wre-install What is the recommended way to pass http_proxy environment information on to the WRE for the install process, which is failing when it tries to determine the latest WebGUI version? I've always ignored the problem when it would come up running testEnvironment.pl, but it would sure be nice if WebGUI and accoutrements would pick up http_proxy environment variable information and make use of it when trying to talk to the internet. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/env_proxy-during-wre-install Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:27:41 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/migration-job I have an existing site that will be migrated to WebGUI. I need an experienced WebGUI developer to migrate the site. If you are interested and have the qualifications please contact me directly e11i077 at gmail dot com or respond here. The position is immediate and I expect 4-5 days for migration. FWIW I have tried to get PlainBlack to give a quote even answer the phone. They seem very flaky but maybe just bad luck. http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/migration-job Fri, 12 Oct 2007 11:34:49 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/installing-wre-0_8_0-on-ubuntu-6_06-lts Binaries: wre-0.8.0-ubuntu6-ia32.tar.gz System: Ubuntu 6.06LTS "Dapper Drake" This is not my first time installing WebGUI (this make my 3rd installation). Each time that I have performed the install that task has become easier each time. I can say that the WRE and WebGUI gets better all the time. The first time I was pretty much a newbie with respect to administering a Linux server (or any type of server) and made a lot of mistakes to begin with. It took me the better part of a week fighting dependentcies on a FC4 distro (pre wre) to install WebGUI. I have just upgraded to wre0.8.0 on my test server (Ubuntu 6.06LTS) and it was a fairly painless install. I only encountered a couple of issues along the way. Using the "Installing WRE 0.8.0" instructions from the wiki for my guide made the task painless and was pretty accurate for the most part. I have a couple of questions though. 1. Step 2 in the guide adds a webgui user. Is this suppose to be a non-login type user and it seems to indicate? The command being used seems to be designed for the fedora distro. For a ubuntu/debian distro it would be something like: adduser --shell --disabled-login webgui or perhaps: adduser --shell --no-create-home webgui 2. Step 8c in the guide sets the password for root/administrator in the MySQL database. This is the one thing that always gets me in trouble every time I have installed wre/WebGUI. Twice previously I ended up manually changing the password field in the database. The line spit out by wreconsole.pl is something like this: /data/wre/prereqs/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /data/wre/prereqs/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h <hostname> password 'new-password' With a ubuntu/debian distro I think the command should be something like this: /data/wre/prereqs/bin/mysqladmin -u root --password new-password /data/wre/prereqs/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h <hostname> --password new-password Some how or other this is the point where I manage to trash the passowrd or rather get confused as to what I have set the root password and end up manually changing the field. This is the point I am at right now. That is, setting the password in the MySQL database and I haven't quite gotten it right yet. If some one could clarify things on the 1st issue and set me straight on the 2nd issue It would complete my install so I can go on to the next step (Step 9).

Tried the templates, settings, and so on, but can't find it anywhere. Here's the background. I have a server running 6.2.11 under Windows, and I understand that it cannot be upgraded from that unless I were to manually transfer all of the content into a fresh install (is that still the case?). I cannot do that since there is a LOT of content in there. Yet I understand that 6.2.11 is "prone to arbitrary code execution", so I want to at least obfuscate it in such a way as to not show that line thus advertizing "Hey folks!

I just upgraded an WebGUI-installation from 7.3.13 to 7.3.22. This server (Debian Etch) hosts several sites with WebGUI. Everything seems to have worked fine except on one site where i can't seem to get the menu working. I have 'CaretAssetProxy("flexmenu_1002");' embedded in the style template where the menu is supposed to be. It renders the actual code and not the menu, and in the logs i can see: 2007/09/19 16:12:48 - ERROR - sitename.tld.conf - main::[[undef]] - Processing failed on macro: CaretAssetProxy("flexmenu_1002");: Operation "eq": no method found, left argument in overloaded package JSON::NotString, right argument has no overloaded magic at /data/WebGUI/lib/WebGUI/Utility.pm line 155. I have tried googling and searching the forums here, but haven't found anything useful. The only difference i can see betwen this site and a fully working site (on the same machine) is that the asset flexmenu_1002 was apparently locked during the upgrade (there were non-comitted changes in a version tag.). I have since unlocked it, but it still fails. The WebGUI-installation is not WRE but installed and upgraded from source. I have ran testEnvironment.pl with no errors. Sadly i lost the output from upgrade.pl, is this logged somewhere? I don't think there were any serious errors during upgrade, but things scrolled by a little too fast to tell... I made a quick diff between configs, but couldn't see any major differences. I have tried other assets too such as crumbtrail, same result, only the code is showing. I would be very grateful for any advice. (the forum wouldn't let me post the caret-character, so i replaced it with the name instead) Kind regards /Andreas http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/no-menu-after-upgrade-7_3_13---7_3_22-non-wre Wed, 19 Sep 2007 09:40:46 -0500 http://www.plainblack.com/install/upgrade_help/webgui-8-install Hoi, Installed WebGUI 8 on FreeBSD.

I went to check the log files (/data/domains/www.mysite.com/logs) and the access.log has a current date. I then checked the awstats configuration file (/data/wre/etc/awstats.www.mysite.com.conf).
