statusnet

The issue has been fixed by DH support, and they said they'd fixed the underlying issue as well. Consider this case closed

Take a look at the config.php file. Maybe you did like me and chose to have "www" removed, when adding a new sub-domain for this installation. And then the config.php file still mentions "www" in "$config['site']['server']". Also, the last line should state "$config['db']['type'] = 'mysql';", rather than possible ""$config['db']['type'] = '';""

Does anyone know how to log-in as the Administrator after using Dreamhost's One Click Install?

Well, I'm admin now. The way I did it is to go into your mysql (you can use phpmyadmin from the DH web interface), look up your profile id, it's probably either 1 or 2. Then, go to the table that says profile_role, insert a new value, in id you put your id, in role you put administrator, and in time you can just put the current time. That's it.

I just did the one-click install from dreamhost. Every link on the homepage takes me to our site-wide custom 404 error page. The Dreamhost installer does not give any config info as usual. Wondering what is happening.

Hey @aric, if it does make 1 admin and moderator there is no mention of it after the installation. Nothing in the email or on the wiki either from what i saw...

I have the same problem as Kernos. I installed via 1-click. First I had the www problem mentioned above and fixed it by modifying the config.php to remove www from the server name.

Now I can see the home page, but any links I click on result in Error 404. e.g. I can go to mydomain.com/status and see the Public Timeline (which is empty), but if I click on anything, such as Login (mydomain.com/status/main/login) it gives me 404.

Bug how to run the deamon ? scripts/getvaliddaemons.php

Do someone did it ?

how to you run this script with browser ? or by ssh

@chris10, sounds like you're accidentally running PHP version 4 on the command-line, which is too old to work with StatusNet. You might need to call it as 'php5'.

I recently tried the 1-click installer.

@rokur I had the same issue with the 'www' being added to $config['site']['server'].

@aric Looks like Dreamhost does not make an initial user yet. You get an empty DB.

@edythemighty There's a script for giving a user a role (such as administrator), so you don't have to rummage around directly in the DB.

scripts/userrole.php -n nickname -r administrator

@chris10 Dreamhost's stock PHP 5 does not have pcntl (Process Control support) compiled in. That makes it impossible to run daemons such as the scripts/xmppdaemon.php. However, it looks like you can compile your own version of PHP5 with pcntl if you really want to do it. See: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Installing_PHP 5

@chris10: I'm not sure, to be honest. It is possible to run the xmppdaemon if you compile your own version of PHP 5, which is a lot of trouble and is unsupported by Dreamhost. They also provide some xmpp services, but I don't have any experience with them. It might be worth opening a support ticket with Dreamhost to see if they think it's doable.

@chris10 most of the plugins have readmes that live their subdirectroy in the plugins folder

chris10 & zcopley: on shared plans there is a 60 second process time limit. with VPS there is no time limit, but PHP still has to be recompiled

Great, thanks so much! , I 'll test at hostgator in future.

Any way to get sync / timeline import working on DreamHost?

$ ./synctwitterfriends.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pcntl_fork() in /home/username/mysite.com/lib/daemon.php on line 51
$ ./twitterstatusfetcher.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pcntl_fork() in /home/username/mysite.com/lib/daemon.php on line 51

@crutis @aric as @zcopley mentioned in this thread Dreamhost's php5 does not have pcntl compiled in. That's where those messages come from.

A new version of php5 needs to be compiled to get pcntl support. I used the instructions and script found here:

http://iamskwerl.com/tech/2008/09/customizing-php5-on-dreamhost/

I didn't replace Dreamhost's php5, I just rolled this new one to use with the daemons. That means I had to edit startdaemons.sh to replace 'php' with the path to my new php binary, like '/home/smscotten/php5/bin/php'

I hope that's helpful.

Thanks to @smscotten for the tip. I'm going to give the compiling of a new version of php5 a try. It seems terribly involved.

I just spoke to support at Dreamhost (Sep 30, 2010) and they eventually acknowledged that there is no pcntl support in their command line installation of php5. The support tech was not sure why that was but said the admins 'usually have a good reason' for deactivating support for it.

He also told me that in their sample configuration for their installation of 5.3 (which is not rolled out yet at Dreamhost) they do have support for it, but he cautioned that this is no guarantee that support for it will be included when they finally do roll out 5.3 support.

Overall, I really wish there was much more simple detailed instructions for twitter bi-directional support in the installation instructions. I think a lot of people will want/need it until we can convince friends to migrate to federated solutions.

@kmlawson I have a Dreamhost vps as it should do the installation?
