SOLVED: Database error: DB Error: unknown error

Freshsite — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:11:01 +0000

Hi guys,

I found the source of the error.

TO THE DEVELOPERS:
I guess you never heard of unit tests, or "good database abstraction layer". The error message "unknown error" *is not true*, because the error IS known by the system!

First, change this in Classes / User_im_prefs.php:

'primary key' => array('user_id', 'transport(100)'),
'unique keys' => array(
'transport_screenname_key' => array('transport(100)', 'screenname(100)'),
),

The error message on some systems (like mine) is (or "would be", if the error would be correct displayed):
MySQL Error: 1071, Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

That's why you have to shorten the index keys, otherwise on some systems it won't work.

Second:
Change line 589 in plugins / OpenID / OpenIDPlugin.php to:

FROM
'primary key' => array(array('server_url', 100), 'handle'),
TO
'primary key' => array(array('server_url', 100), 'handle(100)'),

After that, the installation should complete!

Anyway: Why the devs did NOT find the error themselves....?

Can statusnet run with Oracle?

kopanda — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 07:45:00 +0000

Hi, any one have ever run statusnet with Oracle? I'm wondering if this is feasible as Oracle have database file encryption which is more suitable for enterprise development.

@habi I wish to disable or comment out "MORE DETAILS" which is accessible via Directory sub menu in the Public Timeline, because it breaches European Law on Data Protection.

How can I hide the Directory from view before a user/someone has logged in?

How can I hide the Directory from view even though My StatusNet instance is set up to allow the public timeline to be viewed without a user signing in. Unfortunately, this site config also displays the Directory to users not signed in. Than…

I am in the process of setting up my own StatusNet Microblog and I would like to hear from any member, who installs StatusNet professionally as I am prepared to at a fee. Whilst I am very PHP literate, I would like whoever takes up this assignment, to also (a) change the logo to my logo and (b) install two StatusNet Plugins or Apps. Thanks. Posted Dec. 7 2012.

SSL woes

jla — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:34:02 +0000

After installing, I can get to any page by entering it in the address bar, but links go to http instead of https. After setting to SSL Always from config.php, some links like profile pages are still http.

Cas Authentication

GiobPtr — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 09:41:32 +0000

I use Cas to authenticate the users of my service. But when I enable the CasAuthentication plugin and I insert my credentials, status.net shows a white page.
Should I do anything else except from initializing the plugin in the config.php file?

Can't log in anymore

miles — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:20:46 +0000

Hi, for some reason my StatusNet install won't let me sign in anymore. I've tried even doing a password reset, but when I click the password reset link in the email it just comes up with the login form again. It's like when the login form is submitted it just redirects to the same login page. To make matters worse I tried creating a new database and re-installing StatusNet and I get exactly the same issue. Any suggestions?

nginx config:

server {
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.php index.html;

server_name localhost;

try_files $uri $uri/ index.php;

location /status {
rewrite ^/status/(.+) /status/index.php?p=$1 last;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}

Using SSL with statusnet domain.

MATIR — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:53:35 +0000

Hi all

I am trying to install statusnet with ssl. The SSL certificate is issued for the same domain as I use for statusnet. Is it ok or I should've made an other sub domain?

Thanks,

Nginx SSL 404 error page not...

MATIR — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:27:30 +0000

I am trying to use SSL "always" and nginx gives me "404 page not found".

Nginx log:

"/var/www/domain.com/tags/index.php" is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: 1.2.3.4, server: domain.com, request: "GET /tags/ HTTP/1.1", host: "domain.com", referrer: "https://domain.com/"

or

"open() "/var/www/domain.com/main/login" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 1.2.3.4, server: domain.com, request: "GET /main/login HTTP/1.1", host: "domain.com", referrer: "https://domain.com/""

here is the rewrite ruleif (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?p=$1 last;
break;}

I don't use any rewrite rule for ssl requests. Please help me with this Problem.

Thanks,

Mat

Problem with NGINX

Eckhard — Fri, 14 May 2010 00:36:55 +0000

I have switched to using nginx for several reasons.
However I have also big trouble to get status running on the Dreamhost account.
Is there anyone out there that is familiar enough with dreamhost and nginx to get Status running.
If required we can talk about a "service fee" for the job done.

Ldap Authentication with OpenLDAP on StatusNet 1.0.1

jorgesuarez — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:27:33 +0000

I've been trying to setup LDAP Authentication with StatusNet 1.0.1 for a while with no dice. I don't seem to be able to login after putting this on my config.php (I've hidden sensible information):

addPlugin('ldapAuthentication', array(
'provider_name'=>'LDAP SERVER',
'authoritative'=>false,
'autoregistration'=>true,
'binddn'=>'uid=statusnet,ou=Applications,dc=ORGANIZATION-HIDDEN',
'bindpw'=>'PASSWORD-HIDEEN',
'basedn'=>'ou=People,dc=ORGANIZATION-HIDDEN',
'host'=>array('ldap'),
'password_changeable'=>false,
'email_changeable'=>false,
'attributes'=>array(
'username'=>'uid',
'nickname'=>'uid',
'email'=>'mail',
'fullname'=>'cn'
)
));

All I get on login is a blank screen.

The ldap server is not reached, based on ldap server logs. However, an XMPP server on the same machine is able to reach it, so there's not firewall/connection problem.

I've successfully setup StatusNet 0.9.7 with a not binding server on the past (only copypasted from there, added the binding lines). I've also tried to comment the binding lines (that would not succeed, but I'm still trying to reach the server! something goes very wrong somewhere!).

Commenting out all that lines (that is, not adding the plugin) makes login work again for admin user.

Some ideas on how can I proceed from here? How to make StatusNet more verbose? Logs somewhere?

Thank you.

installation error on static functions

yohn — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:07:26 +0000

Strict Standards: Non-static method PEAR::setErrorHandling() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysites\testing\statusnet\lib\framework.php on line 178
^^ I get a whole bunch of these kinds of errors after installing status.net on my local machine running the newest version on Xampp.

I saw the following discussion but it didnt help any..
http://forum.status.net/discussion/2243/installation-problem-on-freebsd/p1

I was wondering if someone else could help me out with getting this fixed? I wanted to test it all out before I would make any decisions on using it or not, and I cant get anything working with these errors popping up on all the pages.

Upgrade 0.9.1 to 0.9.2 failed

Ralph — Wed, 05 May 2010 15:31:05 +0000

I upgraded to 0.9.1 and it seemed to work. Then upgraded to 0.9.2 and now get a blank page.
I upgraded "in place" which I assume means overwrite all files, using FileZilla ftp.
The program does not get passed the head tag when I look at source file.
Left the old config.php in place.

GiobPtr — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 07:23:52 +0000

How do I use the .po files in order to translate the status.net???
I edited the .po file of the language I want, and I built the .mo file!!
What do I have to do next? I put the directory with the files in local and it doesn't work...

Problem with StatusNet 1.1.0-release and twitter daemons

j_richer — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 03:01:32 +0000

I'm having trouble getting a new install of StatusNet 1.1.0-release to work with Twitter.

Currently:
Sign-in with Twitter works perfectly.
Local posts are pushed upstream correctly
Timeline and friend info downloads are not working

I'm using the following config.php:

------------- cut here -----------
if (!defined('STATUSNET') && !defined('LACONICA')) { exit(1); }
$config['site']['name'] = 'Fruck Status';
$config['site']['server'] = 'status.fruck.org';
$config['site']['path'] = '';
$config['site']['fancy'] = true;
$config['site']['broughtby'] = 'Jacques Richer';
$config['site']['broughtbyurl'] = 'http://jacquesricher.com';
#$config['site']['profile'] = 'private';

$config['db']['database'] = 'mysqli://statusnet:badpassword@localhost/statusnet';
$config['db']['type'] = 'mysql';
$config['db']['schemacheck'] = 'script';

$config['queue']['enabled'] = true;
$config['queue']['subsystem'] = 'db';

$config['daemon']['user'] = 'www-data';
$config['daemon']['group'] = 'www-data';

addPlugin(
'TwitterBridge',
array(
'consumer_key' => 'mysecretconsumerkey',
'consumer_secret' => 'myreallysecretconsumersecret'
)
);
$config['twitterimport']['enabled'] = true;
$config['integration']['source'] = 'FruckStatus';
------------- cut here -----------

I'm running the db back-end to the queue system. The queue daemons are running from scripts/startdaemons.sh and seem to stay running. The twitter daemons show up as starting from the same script, but do not show up when I do 'ps ax | grep php'. I didn't see anything whatever from the twitter daemons in my syslog, or I'd have posted it.

syslog() has been disabled for security reasons
