More windows path problems

[stewiedv]

upgraded from 1.3.1 to 1.8.1 on windows server. Had the line 49 errors and other path problems during install, but were corrected by adding full path entries as per other support thread. Now, after install, getting error when adding comments to an entry:

Error Notice
The file "gm-config.cgi" doesn't seem to exist. Please check that your files are in the correct location and that GreyMatter is configured correctly.

Which file do I need to add a path to for this one? Thx

[coldstone]

That should be Gm_Storage. I am guessing the config subroutines haven't been updated to use the full path.

[stewiedv]

I tried to add the full path to the two config lines:

my $lines = _loadFileArray( fn=>"gm-config.cgi", %params );

my $worked = _storeFileArray( fn=>'gm-config.cgi', lines=>$lines, %params );

However, it didn't work... the code took out the "\" between path folders and still got the error...

[coldstone]

Can you post the error message? Also, can you post what your changes were? The path shouldn't be altered after the call to loadFileArray.

[stewiedv]

the message:

Error Notice
The file "gm-config.cgi" doesn't seem to exist. Please check that your files are in the correct location and that GreyMatter is configured correctly.


All I did, as a test, was add the full path to the "gm-config.cgi" parts of the code. It then listed the jumbled path code in the same type of error message as above (i.e., the The file "cinetpubetcgm-config.cgi" doesn't seem to exist.)

[coldstone]

Can you post the code you tried and then the error message? Without knowing what you did I can't recreate it and try to fix Since the '/' shouldn't be removed, I am guessing you had a bug in the code you altered, but if you post it, I might be able to help. This is weird since I thought you said you had added full paths to other bits in Storage and it worked.

[stewiedv]

no problem.

To get the install to work with the line 49 problem during the upgrade, I added the full path to the gm_storage.pm, lines 80-83, as follows:

my @exists = qw(E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-counter.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-karma.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-comments.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-upload.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-entrylist.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-cplog.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-authors.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-templates.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-banlist.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-config.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm.cgi);

my @writable = qw(E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-counter.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-entrylist.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-cplog.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-authors.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-templates.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-banlist.cgi E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-config.cgi);

As coded above, I get the general error when trying to add a comment:

Error Notice
The file "gm-config.cgi" doesn't seem to exist. Please check that your files are in the correct location and that GreyMatter is configured correctly.

Based on the previous posts, I tried adding the full path to the other 2 entries for gm-config.cgi in gm-storage.pm, and added the path to those two lines:

## TODO USE CONFIGS SO THAT WE HAVE THE FULLY QUALIFIED PATH HERE ... IS THIS POSSIBLE HERE?
my $lines = _loadFileArray( fn=>"E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-config.cgi", %params );

## TODO USE CONFIGS SO THAT WE HAVE THE FULLY QUALIFIED PATH HERE ...
my $worked = _storeFileArray( fn=>'E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-config.cgi', lines=>$lines, %params );

With this change, the error is the same, but with a jumbled path:

Error Notice
The file "E:Inetpubvcprovibingmgm-config.cgi" doesn't seem to exist. Please check that your files are in the correct location and that GreyMatter is configured correctly.

So, still have the same comment problem. Have reloaded all the files, run diagnostics and repair (no errors) and rebuilt everything, without solving the problem or showing any other issues.

[coldstone]

Thanks for the details, this is helpful. I think the issue is with the first config modification. For some reason I don't know, I used double quotes ", instead of single quotes '. Which means that with windows filepath, the directory slashes are actually being treated as escaped characters.

So, that means you should use this instead:

 my $lines = _loadFileArray( fn=>'E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\gm-config.cgi', %params );


My apologies for that, I believe that should get us past this hurdle. Hopefully everything will work out from now on.

[stewiedv]

ok, I changed the lines as you suggested and it no longer asked for gm-config.cgi, but then had the same error, now for the gm-templates.cgi file. So, I added the full path to all of the gm-templates.cgi entries in gm-storage.pm (and found/corrected another double quote error on one of those too). So, after adding all of those paths, I get a new error on comments:

Software error:

For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

I have no idea where to go from here.

[coldstone]

Thanks for your patience on this, we are close. In Gm_Storage, find line 240ish. It will have:

if( -e "lang/$lang.pm" ){


Change that to be the fully qualified path. However, be careful with the slashes. I would do something like this (the . character is glueing the two strings together):

if( -e 'E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\'."lang/$lang.pm" ){


I really wish I knew why your setup is requiring the full path. Adding the full path works for now, but upgrades will be painfull, but I think this issue must be solvable. Have you used any other software like Greymatter (Wordpress, Coronto, etc.)? Did it have similar problems?

[stewiedv]

Thx. I replaced the line you listed, and new error as follows:

As for other programs, I have not used the ones you listed, but have used several other cgi/pl/php scripts on this server without problem... had no problems with gm until the upgrade from 1.3.1.

*new note - I had to remove that last line of code you gave me above... caused the login page to error out as well (worked fine after I pulled that code):

[coldstone]

Yeah, its seems it introduced a syntax error in the perl code. I am not sure why its complaining, but you can try t his instead:

if( -e "E:\\Inetpub\\vcpro\\v\\cgibin\\gm\\lang\\$lang.pm" ){


So Greymatter 1.3.1 ran without any problems? If so I will have to see what changed from 1.3.1 that could have impacted this.

[stewiedv]

Yes, gm 1.3.1 ran fine on the server, multiple instances in fact... and never had to do anything outside of the standard setup for that version.

I added the corrected line of code and got a new error:

Software error:

[coldstone]

This is progress. When you added the line to add the 'libs' directory, you will have to make another and add the 'lang' directory, as well. Basically copy the 'libs' line and change 'libs' to 'lang'.

[stewiedv]

ok, I'm assuming you meant the libs line in all 5 of the cgi files? Based on this, I added the following line to all 5, right below its lib counterpart:

use lang 'E:\Inetpub\vcpro\v\cgibin\gm\lang';

However, that caused the entire program to error out:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
