I am editing a website using the Plone 4 CMS. The Plone instance I am currently using is hosted by a server to which I don't have access (i.e. I can't FTP this server and edit PHP files).
Although I don't own the server which is hosting this website, I would like to access the buildout.cfg file. Is there a way to edit this file by just logging in on my Plone website, or do I need to have the credentials to manipulate the whole instance of the site with FTP?
When I log in, I can go to a page called Site Setup (screenshot provided). Can I perhaps solve my problem from this page?
Theoretically it's possible, the code-example below shows a prototype using a browser-view, which when called:
Reads the content of a given page
Writes the content to the buildout-config
Updates the instance
Practically:
You'd need to have access to the file-system, to install an add-on with the browser-view beforehand.
One would never want to do this in production, because if errors occur you
cannot do much about it then.
import os
from Products.Five.browser import BrowserView
class View(BrowserView):
def __call__(self):
# Let's assume these paths exist:
instance_path = '/path/to/instance'
buildout_config_path = instance_path + 'buildout.cfg'
page_path_in_site = 'front-page'
# Read buildout-config of page in site:
page = self.context[page_path_in_site]
config_content = page.getText()
# Write buildout-config to filesystem:
with open(buildout_config_path, 'w') as fil:
fil.write(page.getText())
# Run buildout, so changes in config take effect:
os.system(instance_path + 'buildout')
# Restart server, so python- and zcml-files get
# (re-)compiled, respectively loaded:
os.system(instance_path + 'bin/instance restart')
You can't. The buildout.cfg file is used for installing / building your application. So, when you are in Site setup you already are using the running application you want to reconfigure.
You will edit your buildout.cfg then you will run ./bin/develop rb to rebuild it, then you will (re)start the instance of your application. This is when, for example, you will see new add-ons available for activating them from Site setup / Add-ons (the add-ons you added in eggs / zcml / versions sections of your buildout.cfg).

I have a ZF3 project with a controller which opens excel-files and compares them with an template which will be openened, too.
On my development notebook (xampp) everything works fine, at my production system (ubuntu) the phpspreadsheet causes errors (I think it is the one).
here a snippet from my code:
$fileName="./public/files/" . $fileName; //.\ neu
echo $fileName;
$template= new Spreadsheet();
$importdcl= new Spreadsheet();
$template= \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::load('./public/files/Template_DCL_final.xlsx');
$importdcl= \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::load( $fileName);
echo "filename geladen";
I already have the folders in non relative paths because basePath() doesn't work, it won't give any result.
The echo statement is just because the server log won't give any errors. On my development system I get the echo text on my production system the error seems to be at the load statements.
First question: How could I use relative paths in here?
Second question: How can I get an idea wether is something wrong with the spreadsheet class?
This is what composer loaded:
"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet" : "dev-develop",
Is it a problem, because it has this dev version? At this point I'm quite confused because I played with the pathes of the files, I changed the rights manually in the folder, I checked server logs and now I don't have any idea left.
Here the rights in the folder:
Any helpful suggestions appreciated.
Answer (hopefully) to the first question: if your application is based on ZendSkeletonApplication, then you can use paths relative to your application root (from index.php):
/**
* This makes our life easier when dealing with paths. Everything is relative
* to the application root now.
*/
chdir(dirname(__DIR__));
So if your data files are located in <application root>/public/files, then you should be able to read them from controller/service/etc. using public/files/<file name> path. You can test it with eg. the file_exists function.
I’m unable to answer your second question, but here are some suggestions (OK, questions…):
what is the status code of your (production) server’s response?
Do you have read/write permissions to the data files from the server’s account (www-data?)?
Does phpspreadsheet depend on any PHP extensions? Do you have them installed on both your development machine and the server?
What PHP version is installed on the server? Do you or phpspreadsheet use any features that may be unavailable on that version?
Try running your project not through Apache, but with PHP’s builtin server (but don’t do it long-term) and try to reproduce the issue.
I have, in order to process some big data, to set up ckan on a local machine. I've set up the whole system following this guide : http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/installing/install-from-source.html
I wanted to display a preview of a locally loaded file, so the user can actually see it before downloading it. And it doesn't work, because it only works for online files. For instance, it DOES work with this online file but NOT with my own file I upload.
So, I've been interested about Datastore and Datapusher. I've followed every part of the guide, and it appears on my ckan. However, I have an error. Specifically this one :
Upload error: An Error occurred while sending the job: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: http://127.0.0.1:8800/job
Here's my most important parts about my production.ini file (copying the whole would be very long) :
ckan.site_url = http://localhost
ckan.plugins = datastore datapusher stats text_view image_view
recline_view recline_graph_view recline_map_view webpage_view
ckan.datapusher.formats = csv xls xlsx tsv application/csv
application/vnd.ms-excel
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
ckan.datapusher.url = http://127.0.0.1:8800/
I truly have no idea about what my problem could be, I tried to change the datapusher.url to 0.0.0.0 as the guide suggested, but it doesn't work either.
If the data to be added to CKAN is in a file on your computer, select “Upload a file” option. CKAN will give you a file browser to select it. You should use link to a file option just for publicly available resources.
Have you installed datapusher also? Its a separate process running on port 8800. CKAN uses datastore to be able to have a grid view of tabular data. Data needs to be pushed through datapusher to be used by datastore.
Yes, you need to set up the Datapusher.It's not activated by default.
Pull the datapusher code, install the dependencies and run it using:
python datapusher/main.py deployment/settings.py
The instructions to configure the settings are on the repository.
Here's the datapusher manual: http://docs.ckan.org/projects/datapusher/en/latest/
Here's the repository: https://github.com/ckan/datapusher
Had the exact same error message.
This post solved my issue though.
short: insert/check the following in your virtualhost in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/datapusher.conf
<Directory /etc/ckan>
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
According to the Ruby on Rails Guide: Caching, caching is disabled by default in the development and testing environments. If I make a small CSS change, run rails server and access my site at localhost:3000, I can see my change. However, if I access my rails server on my iPhone at 10.0.1.2:3000, the CSS doesn't update, even Chrome in Incognito Mode. When I try different iPhone that has an empty cache, the change is there.
I found a stack overflow post that described the same problem. Here were the suggested solutions:
Remove the public/assets directory. I don't have one.
Add config.serve_static_assets = false to environments/development.rb. It's already there.
Delete /tmp/cache/assets, add config.serve_static_assets = false to environments/development.rb and restart the server. I tried this and it didn't work.
Here's my relevant environments/development.rb config:
# In the development environment your application's code is reloaded on
# every request. This slows down response time but is perfect for development
# since you don't have to restart the web server when you make code changes.
config.cache_classes = false
# Show full error reports and disable caching
config.consider_all_requests_local = true
config.action_controller.perform_caching = false
I'm pretty sure this is happening because Rails only does fingerprinting in production: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html#in-production
This means that in development browsers that are more cache-aggressive can run into this issue.
Try adding this to your development.rb:
config.assets.digest = true
Or more preferable something conditional for when you're doing mobile development
# One of the few exceptions I'd make to a no ENV variables rule
# for my rails environment config files
config.assets.digest = true if ENV["MOBILE_DEBUG"]
How are use accessing your local machine via your iphone ?
have you configured any network settings or you push it to a different server and access from there, because the thing is if you are pusing it to a different server , that sever might be running in the production mode.
HTH
I don't have an iPhone to test, but it sounds like a normal browser caching issue. Try these instructions for clearing the browser cache. If that works, you'll need to do it each time you update your CSS (or J
I had a similar problem. It happened because my config/environments/development.rb had contained config.asset_host = 'http://localhost:3000'
I've removed it and all works fine.
Good day everyone, I have been trying to put my moodle online so pcs from internet can access it, but until now, no luck at all. (Im using moodle 2.3.2 on Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7).
I tried to configure the moodle file config.php, setting the directive $CFG -> wwwroot = "my-public-ip/moodle". Then, when I access to moodel from the server, I can access it by "http://my-public-ip/moodle", when I try to access via localhost, it sends an error which it is OK.
But the funny part comes when I try to access the server from an outside pc. When I type "http://my-public-ip/moodle" it simply cant "see" the configuration I made to the config.php file (it says: This server cna only be accessed via localhost/moodle) it looks like the outside pcs are either ignoring it, or searching for another configuration file. I dont know what the hell is happening, this is very odd.
Any ideas?? tnx!!!
Change the following file:
lib-->setuplib.php
Redirect ($CFG->wwwroot, get_string('wwwrootmismatch', 'error', $CFG->wwwroot), 3);
for
Redirect ($CFG->wwwroot, get_string('wwwrootmismatch', 'error', $CFG->wwwroot), 0);
I realise this is an old question, but it's also worth pointing out you may need to also run the database search and replace script, at:
http://my-public-ip/moodle/admin/tool/replace/index.php
as referenced in Method 2 here.
This is required if you change the name of the site once you have installed it. If you were already using Moodle under "localhost", then there will be a number of references to the old localhost address stored in the database that need to be updated to the new IP-based address.
It might be because the http:// part is missing?
$CFG->wwwroot = "my-public-ip/moodle"
should be
$CFG->wwwroot = "http://my-public-ip/moodle"
I'm working on a CherryPy application based on what I found on that BitBucket repository.
As in this example, there is two config files, server.cfg (aka "global") and app.cfg.
Both config files are loaded in the serve.py file :
# Update the global settings for the HTTP server and engine
cherrypy.config.update(os.path.join(self.conf_path, "server.cfg"))
# ...
# Our application
from webapp.app import Twiseless
webapp = Twiseless()
# Let's mount the application so that CherryPy can serve it
app = cherrypy.tree.mount(webapp, '/', os.path.join(self.conf_path, "app.cfg"))
Now, I'd like to add the Database configuration.
My first thought was to add it in the server.cfg (is this the best place? or should it be located in app.cfg ?).
But if I add the Database configuration in the server.cfg, I don't know how to access it.
Using :
cherrypy.request.app.config['Database']
Works only if the [Database] parameter is in the app.cfg.
I tried to print cherrypy.request.app.config, and it shows me only the values defined in app.cfg, nothing in server.cfg.
So I have two related question :
Is it best to put the database connection in the server.cfg or app.cfg file
How to access server.cfg configuration (aka global) in my code
Thanks for your help! :)
Put it in the app config. A good question to help you decide where to put such things is, "if I mounted an unrelated blog app at /blogs on the same server, would I want it to share that config?" If so, put it in server config. If not, put it in app config.
Note also that the global config isn't sectioned, so you can't stick a [Database] section in there anyway. Only the app config allows sections. If you wanted to stick database settings in the global config anyway, you'd have to consider config entry names like "database_port" instead. You would then access it directly by that name: cherrypy.config.get("database_port").
