Topic: lat-users command for SME server 8 Beta

[viki]

Hi,
I am using SME sever 8 Beta version. I have installed the lazy admins tool kit.
But I cannot use any commands from it. I get a this message

" *WARNING* esmith::config(/home/e-smith/accounts) called with old database path. The following package needs to be updated:  at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/config.pm line 377
        esmith::config::TIEHASH('esmith::config', '/home/e-smith/accounts') called at /usr/sbin/lat-users line 17
Can't find /home/e-smith/accounts at /usr/sbin/lat-users line 178. "

Can anyone give me a soloution for this?

None of the contribs will work for SME 8 Beta.

This is normal so as not to encourage the use of 8 in production.
Anyways, none of the contribs have been updated for SME 8 Beta.

Please follow Craig's good advice. Thanks.

Moving this topic to the General Discussion forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks! (It's not as all SME 8 beta testing (without custom templates and/or contribs) needs to be reported via bug tracker. Thanks.

That particular contrib will not work with SME7 either. The database path change was made a very long time ago now.

Thanks for your reply guys,

I am new to linux and opensource....... I have reported the problem to
the bugteam.

I need to enter around 700 user accounts, is there any other easier way to do it in
sme server 8.3 ?

could you please tell us the version of lat you are using and how did you install it? seems a bit old.. IIRC the last version works without problems with SME 7.3

I downloaded from this link and installed it as given in this link...

http://wiki.contribs.org/Lazy_Admin_Tools#Description

cd /tmp
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs//jbennett/sme7/lat/smeserver-lazy_admin_tools-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall smeserver-lazy_admin_tools-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm

I used putty.exe and Winscp to install it

Is there any other way I can enter user accounts easily, because I have

around 700 users to add.

No.

hi

I've just downloaded and installed that rpm..

in lat-users I read (line 17)

Code: [Select]

tie %accounts, 'esmith::config', '/home/e-smith/db/accounts';

and also line 178 of the same file points to /home/e-smith/db/accounts..

so everything looks ok to me..

I've tried the  script lat-users with /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools/example.users file (deleted last 2 lines)

Code: [Select]

[root@smetest tmp]# cp /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools/example.users /root/
[root@smetest tmp]# cd
[root@smetest ~]# pico example.users
[root@smetest ~]# lat-users -a -i ./example.users

sme 7.4.. non problem here

how did you run your script?

Stefano, the OP is attempting this on the SME Server 8 BETA 3 - Not sure why the OP is even attempting to run a beta release of SME Server as their production machine.

I agree byte but:
- he is, BTW, testing SME 8
- his problem is not related, IMHO, to SME version since lazy-tools contrib works on SME 7.X and, AFAIK, no change in dir structure has been done in 8.X

The OP maybe testing SME Server 8, but that means testing without any custom work and/or contribs, the stage where contribs can start being worked on SME Server 8 is if/when we release a RC (Release Candidate)

So clearly that is not the version used by OP.

I agree with Stefano that this should work just as well with SME8 beta as with SME7.

IMO any problems encountered with the lat contrib should be reported in the Contribs section of the bug tracker.

I don't see any problem with testing contribs with SME8, just as long as any problems encountered are reported to the right people (via using the correct section of the bug tracker).

OP has already done so, but I marked it as INVALID as it is not listed in the SME Contribs CVS nor bugtracker in the contribs section, see bug 4956.

Besides that I don't think that OP has the latest version as the latest version I have on my local mirror uses the correct path:

Code: [Select]

So viki what does this show to you:

rpm -q smeserver-lazy_admin_tools
