Re: [midgard] Preferred way to enable alternate database backend.
Ami Ganguli wrote: Does anybody have a preference as to how an alternate database backend should be selected? I can think of three options: 1. Alter mgd_init to take the name of a dynamic library as a parameter. The library would hold database specific functions. I think this is best but it would require an API change. 2. A compile time option to select one backend only. 3. A totally separate library with separate source tree. The list is roughly in order from best to worst, and most difficult to least difficult IMHO.

RE: [midgard] HELP mod-midgard compile, redhat linux v6.1
From the midgard web page - documentation - FAQ there is a what to do if you get a mdg_* error. I have a feeling it is because the standard redhat rpm distributions of MySQL do not use shared libraries and midgard is expecting them. I have tried to force the use of the static library and this has faile also, so I am now recompiling the MySQL code to enable static libraries and then try again.

Re: [midgard] HELP mod-midgard compile, redhat linux v6.1
Hi, If you get a message saying that libmidgard is not available, it may be that you didn't install properly the MySQL-shared-*.rpm package. The best and easiest way is to install MySQL from RPM. All you have to do after is to configure and install Midgard. Here is how I compile on my RH6.1 box: in lib: ./configure --with-sitegroups then make install then ldconfig in mod: ./configure then make install in php: ./configure --with-apxs --with-apache=/usr/ --with-mysql=/usr/ --with-midgar d then make install then /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart Another thing to know on RH distributions is that apxs contains a bug. you have to change the $CFG_LIBEXECDIR variable (line 81) to : my $CFG_LIBEXECDIR = '/usr/lib/apache'; But after the first install of mod_midgard and midgard-php, you'll have to change the httpd.conf to replace the lines: LoadModule php3_module lib/apache/libphp3.so LoadModule midgard_module lib/apache/mod_midgard.so by the lines: LoadModule php3_module modules/libphp3.so LoadModule midgard_module modules/mod_midgard.so If this did not solve your problem, please send the exact error message.

[midgard] sql script to rip a site?
Hi Sorry, I can't access the mailing list archive right now (too slow), which has often proved a valuable source for finding answers... What I am after is this: Has anyone written a sql script that creates a _partial_ dump of the midgard database so that all required table entries belonging to a given midgard site can be ripped off and later loaded into another midgard database on another server? I understand that this is a little complicated. Not only should such a script find all styles, sub-pages, page elements, topic trees etc which the root page depends on, it also has to make sure that the stuff can be re-loaded using unique id numbers for all objects, because the ids used at the original server may already be in use at the target server. Currently, I use mysqldump to backup the full midgard database. But what if I want to sites around?

But it took me some more time to figure out how to actually use it. You know, to get the basic concepts... I tried the tarballs, src.RPMs, RPMs... I tried to do it on a custom install, on a fresh install, I don't think that midgard is more complicated an application to install than, lets say, a window manager. The thing is, that midgard is closely dependend on well configured other components (apache, mysql and its client lib...), which is anyway common unix philosophy. I don't believe much in rpms or binary stuff, for several reasons. So what exactly went wrong when you tried to compile from scratch? There are some possible pitfalls. From the postings to this list, I gradually know some of them. For instance, certain versions of mysql per default install libmysqlclient to /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so which is hardly found by another configure script. You may not notice this until you install the first program which requires this lib. Now, when you try to compile mod_midgard, the error message you get makes you think that libmidgard is not found, but the real cause is libmysqlclient. So which error did you get? sorry for your trouble, Frank -- Dr Frank Boehme | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] National University of Ireland, Cork | phone: +353-21-903163 Dept of Computer Science | fax: +353-21-903113 Cork, Ireland| -- This is The Midgard Project's mailing list.

I totally agree on Mr Wolf statement. I would LOVE to check Migard, in order to include it on an unborn yet portal project, but the install is so painfull !

I always had to dig into the configuration and source code to make it work. As a result, I didn't have the opportunity to really use it and that's unfortunate because Midgard seems to be the only appserver in PHP, and a competitor to Zope. As Midgard requires a special Apache+PHP configuration, I would hope that it would be painless to install and run. I hope you can improve the installation part in the future. Note that in version 1.3 there is a mistake in midgard.c, line 613 which prevent it from compiling : one must add a semi-colon ";" at the end of the line. Finally, I decided not to use it until a more mature version appears. I hope to see it soon. The fact is that I won't choose Midgard as a tool of choice for my company's intranet.
