Bug#651944: Feedback on the (unreleased) package
I found another problem:
It seems that Squeeze's php is somehow compiled with built-in oauth support.
This conflicts with the (re-)definition of the class OAuthException in
library/OAuth1.php.
The whole thing just doesn't work, in that case. You can verify this by simply
calling the API http://yourBaseURL/api/account/verify_credentials
It should return 200 and a json object with your user data in case you are
logged in. Otherwise it's supposed to return 401.
Alas, with the above problem, it always return 200 (but no user object).
If I wrap the class OAuthException in library/OAuth1.php with '!class_exists'
like this:
if (!class_exists('OAuthException')) {
class OAuthException extends Exception {
// pass
}
}
it works for me.
Thanks,
Carsten

I have not seen these warnings lately in mails from my cron job so I guess they got fixed in ~friendica code.

Did you face some error? No, no error (except for the whitespace in the accept/deny config). AFAIR, it contained some comment like "replace this with an appropriate config from /usr/share/doc/friendica/examples or something like that. So I had a look and found that one more appropriate for my setup. > > - the web interface was available, but it showed the installer (is that > > supposed to happen?) > > Yeah for now it should get you installer.

Did you try > this with which package? Ahh, I see the problem now. I did get the package on March 19th (UTC+1) dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/friendica/friendica_3.1-1.dsc Your new package was apparently made public a little later, even though it was uploaded on March 17th. At least I get a different dsc file, when I download it again, now (same version number). So the version I have installed now, is probably 3.1-1 from 2013-01-13 05:19 All those problems that you thought you had fixed, can probably be attributed to that. > > - I manually created the database with /usr/share/friendica/database.sql > > and finally got friendica up and running > > Uh was the database.sql was missing in installation?

I'm not planning > to target friendica to squeeze as it will be soon old stable. That was my first thought as well, but I learnt that there are two different distributions of that markdown parser. One with an "ExtraParser" class and one without. Debian (both stable and newer versions) packages the one without the ExtraParser. BTW, I found another problem, but I probably need to check whether that's fixed with the newer version: the cronjob (poller.php) always reports warnings like PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/config.php on line 23 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/config.php on line 23 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/plugin.php on line 150 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/datetime.php on line 456 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/socgraph.php on line 357 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/poller.php on line 168 (and many more). That's not the fault in the package, but a problem in friendica itself. The function q() either returns an array (good) or false when something is wrong. Callers of the function only check the result with count() and then iterate over it with foreach (which fails when trying to iterate over 'false'). All these places would need to be changed to something like if (is_array($r) && count($r) Without that, you would get a mail from cron every 10 minutes by default... > Wonderful!

I see did the friendica.conf didn't work? Did you face some error?

Let me reverify the conf files it was created by tobias

Yeah for now it should get you installer. I'm not sure if that can be
automated may be friendica devs can answer (hint hint Tobias)

Weird I think I fixed in the last week upload to mentors! Did you try
this with which package?

I see when you use web installer it gets created.

Umm.. That is weird!

Uh was the database.sql was missing in installation? I'm not sure what
might have gone wrong.

I thought I fixed these symlinks but alas I need to look again.

Ok Tobias again you need to have a look! Or is the jquery.js modified by
friendica? I prefer it is not to be modified otherwise I need to
duplicate every other js code base in friendica.

The markdown.php on squeeze that might be the reason. I'm not planning
to target friendica to squeeze as it will be soon old stable.

Wonderful! Thank you for taking time to share the problems you faced. I
will see how I can fix these

Bug#651944: Feedback on the (unreleased) package
Hi,
thanks a lot for packaging friendica! I was eager to try it out, so I got the
source package and built it on a Debian stable box (with some necessary jquery
packages from backports).
Here's some feedback that might be used to improve the package:
- installation of the package went smooth, it asked for the db details, etc.
- after that finished, I found a /etc/apache2/conf.d/friendica.conf, which I
replaced with the apache2.subdomain.conf from the doc examples directory
- had to remove a space in the "order allow, deny" option (between allow and
deny)
- the web interface was available, but it showed the installer (is that
supposed to happen?)
- installer complained about /usr/share/friendica/.htaccess not being
available and not creatable either, so I created the file and made it writable
- instead of continuing with the installer, I copied
/etc/friendica/htconfig.php to /usr/share/friendica/.htconfig.php
- however then apache always segfaulted
- I manually created the database with /usr/share/friendica/database.sql and
finally got friendica up and running
However, some more fixes were needed:
- uploading a profile picture only resulted in a black image, because some
javascripts were not found. I had to create a symlink
/usr/share/friendica/cropper/lib/prototype.js to the system installed
prototype.js, then remove the directory
/usr/share/friendica/library/cropper/lib directory and finally create a symlink
/usr/share/friendica/library/cropper/lib to /usr/share/friendica/cropper/lib
I still found a warning about a type problem in the error log about the profile
photo, so I adjusted /usr/share/friendica/mod/profile_photo.php lines 56-59 to
cast the POST variables to integer values:
$srcX = (int) $_POST['xstart'];
$srcY = (int) $_POST['ystart'];
$srcW = (int) $_POST['xfinal'] - $srcX;
$srcH = (int) $_POST['yfinal'] - $srcY;
The javascript console still showed an error in
/usr/share/friendica/js/main.js; all accesses to $.someJQuery function or
object didn't work. I don't really understand what's going in there (some
undesired mangling of '$.'?), but I changed all occurrences of '$.' to
'jQuery.' in js/main.js, so that it looks like this
$(function() {
jQuery.ajaxSetup({cache: false});
[,,,]
Then online help didn't work at all (internal server error), I had to remove
the symlink /usr/share/friendica/library/markdown.php and replace it with the
PHP Markdown Extra "markdown.php" from http://littoral.michelf.ca/code/php-
markdown/php-markdown-extra-1.2.6.zip
Finally, everything seems to work :-)
HTH,
Carsten
