Topic: Phprojekt getting uploading to work?

[Gizzmo]

Well searching the old links i read about a way to let phprojekt permission to talk outside of its ibay but can't find the walk through to set it up since all the links are to the old site. Any help would be great!!

No one remembers how to do this?

Hi,

You have to change the openbase_dir for PHP of the ibay where phprojekt are.
Check the Grand-pa website http://www.sme-fr.homelinux.net/cmdline.php#php_basedir

OK it's in french but the command are almost explicite.

I also used this then found it was for an old version of phprojekt which didn't support downloading the external user list for instance and decided to update - I then deleted the project directory from opt and copied a downloaded version of 4.1 into there using midnight commander  -  mc at the root prompt. I think I then rechecked the template info updates mentioned in the marari howto using the edit feature in midnight commander. I then ran https://10.0.0.1/project/setup.php where 10.0.0.1 is your local ip . You must specify the upload directory
upload       and the location
/opt/project/upload          and
uploads work,

After running PHPsetup I printed out the configuration sheet and it says
"the server needs the privlege to 'write' to the directories
upload
chat
attach

( I notice I had wrote that I used chmod 777 on these directories, I don't know if you could get by with less)

 you always have to log on via https:// due to the marari setup and your browsers must therefore support encryption.

I have since ran in to a problem where my email is not sending from phproject - I am sure this is of my own doing as it did work but I have been experimenting a lot and no doubt have created a problem.

(discovered the problem - I 1st set the program for complete email and when I set it to only mail out it decided it would not mail at all - I have turned it back on for complete email and it is working)

The other limit of the marari.net method is that it puts it in a directory called project and I would like to have 2 or 3 setups - 1 strictly for practice.
And I haven't figured out what is needed to make multiple ones work in the /opt directory.

This leads me to a question - how to back up the database - is it possible with backuptoworkstation or phpmyadmin and what/where is it? I am starting to get too much stuff in the database to start over if I really mess up.
