Title: phpWebSite with working RSS FEEDS on SME 6.x ????????????
Post by: Rebels on January 07, 2005, 07:28:44 PM

Is there anyone who has running SME 6.0.1 with phpWebsite 9.3.4 or 0.10.0 and RSS feeds running.

I can't get it to work and think that it has to do with SME server.

Any help would be welcome.

Thanx.

Eric

Have you found any resolve to this issue on SME yet?

I would also like to get the RSS feeds working.

Yes and no. The problem for me using phpwebsite 0.10.0 is that /etc/httpd.conf creates an alias /files which points to the /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/files directory.

But, phpwebsite looks for a files directory in its own file system. I have my phpwebsite directories in the Primary directory, but references to mydomain.org/files/phpwsrssfeeds fails because it looks at the alias first.

I can fix this by editing the alias definition in /etc/httpd.conf to point instead to Primary/html/files, that is to the phpwebsite location. But that gets overwritten by e-smith after any change to configuration. I can't see how to change the templates since they are generated dynamically for all the ibays, including the Primary one. This is where I am seeking advice now.

After further study, I have found one workaround for my problem; I am not sure about side effects for others, however.

 I copied this file:
 /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts/20IbayContent
 to:
 /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts
 and then modified the last line to insert "html" so that the alias will now
 point the directory in the Primary directory, not the one of the ibay, which
 I think wouldn't be used for a Primary case anyway. This seems to be a
 workaround for the problem.

    if ($cgiBin)
    {
        $OUT .= "    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin $basedir/cgi-bin\n";
    }
    else
    {
        $OUT .=
                "    # To add cgi-bin ScriptAlias for this i-bay, run:\n"
              . "    #   /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop $ibay CgiBin "
                            . "enabled\n"
              . "    #   /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save\n";
    }
    $OUT .= "    Alias       /files   $basedir/html/files\n";

Correction to my previous post: it is the last line of the code snippet, not the last line of the file, that I modified. I couldn't provide a diff file because other changes on my system made it confusing.
