APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 Questions
I am getting 500 server error and ofr the life of me i can not figure out why. Perl path is set right and the CHMOD perm. are set correctly ... or at least according to the doc with in the zip file.
Anyhow just looking for ideas maybe i am missing something obvious and i have just been stareing at this long or sometihng.
Thanks for an ideas

Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 Questionsthere is only 1 change from 0.5 to 0.6
unless the download is messed up, it should be identacle.
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 Questions Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsYou followed all the instructions in the readme?
What type of server is it?
hard to diagnose something I cant see...
aside from a "500" error
do you have an error log for your server? might give some good info on whats wrong.
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsAnd ya i know its hard to help with onlu a 500 error... about as general of an error as possiable. Thats actually why i am having troubles because i just simply dont know these scripts so i cant even guess
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsConfused me even more
[Tue May 17 12:19:03 2005] [error] [client 68.101.153.65] Premature end of script headers: /www/leftturntom1/cgi-bin/mods/apage/apage.cgi
Its the same one everytime. Thanks for your thoughts i really do apreciate it
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsDid you use ASCII to transfer the files? You need to, as BINARY could kill the script...
Binary is for images or whatever...
I will check the install package again to make sure...
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsAnyhow I went a head and uninstalled the apage from my site and then reinstalled it once more. This time though I did a video capture while doing it so you can see everything I did step by step. (sorry no music or flashy stuff... 6:30 mins long)
Once in stalled I went through and double checked all of the CHMOD settings. ALso I didnt re-upload the image directory as I didnt think you would want to watch that and I doubt (or at least i hope) they wouldnt cause the 500 error.
Anyhow I hope you spot something I did wrong cause i am at aloss. Oh an the error log from what i did this morning is exactly the same error as i copied to ya last night.
The link below is to the video clip
thanks again -Dave

Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsBTW, how did you make that video??? I want the application!!!
OK, in your user-lib folder, the file named "add_this_to_subs.pl" needs to be renamed "subs.pl"
once you do that, you should be good to go...
Also not sure why you set so many files to readable... I try to only set the html folder and specific files to readable... but then again it matters on your server...
The "add_this_to_subs.pl" file is named like this so that IF you have an existing subs.pl in the user-lib folder you would add it in there... the original author of aPage figured everyone would have a subs.pl in their user-lib, and in the past almost everyone did...
let me know how this works out.
AND where I can get that Video App
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsAnyhow I changed the file name and got no love... still got the 500 error do you use Yahoo or AIM? maybe we can tlak faster on it my Yahoo is Shatter6 and my AIM is shatter7 and sorry about the site I am still setting things up on it and everything
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsI will try and help some more in the next little bit...
I have to get out of here for now.
Catch you soon...
UPDATE
having finally logged into your site, I see it just started working for you...
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsI would like to add something here..my website got the same problem as shatter6 (500 server error) even though I've done exactly as instructed in the manual given.
I finally sort this out by changing the permission to 755 instead of 777.I think the permission of the folders depends on the nature of every server and differs from one to another. Should every thing seems right but the mod is not working this is the thing that we should aware of.
Hopefully, this help you guys in setting up this marvellous APage!
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 Questionssee, they are basicly the original instructions from apage 0.4b which was the last releae from the original author...
I usually chmod .cgi's to 755, and it should say that in there...
never noticed the 777...
Something to change in 0.6.3 then? we will see
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsTo solve it I open the file in the editor ,(built in on my server), and simply put a line break behind the shebang line (#!usr/bin/perl etc.)
Works everytime. My server is also a unix serve. Some servers transtlate the files to "Unix Format". I think that may have something to do with it.
I should probably start a new thread but since I'm here......
When I try to pull a file into my site through apage.. (eg, http://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/mods/apage/apage.cgi?f=myfile.html)
it works fine for admin, but every other user just gets a message that says
Error:
You are not authorized for this action!
Any Ideas?
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsDo not use APage for showing the files you create with it... instead use ShowHTML for this...
it is part of the 3 script power-pack...
Menu Manager Mod
ShowHTML
APage
the last security issue with APage has been resolved so far, as part of this security update we restricted the viewing to admin only...
I could tell you how to remove this restriction easily, but then you could potentially put the whole server and all the websites on it at risk IF some hacker puke finds a working hack for it...
so far there isnt any working hacks I know of for APage 0.6.2, so I wouldnt worry too much about it... but you dont want google reading your pages through apage when they hit your site so hacker pricks will know where to look if such an occurance ever takes place...
Use ShowHTML... it does the body good!!! oh and in the future it will be a part of the core code for web-app...
so when you get 0.9.9.3 you wont have to go looking for showhtml as it will be a part of it ;)
Hope this helped...
Re: APage 0.6 for 0.9.9.2 QuestionsI figured it was something like that.
ShowHTML works fine for me, I was hoping for the seemless integration I get when viewing a file through apage. If it's that big of a security issue, I'd rather used showhtml anyway
