Cron / Calendar Integration

[Beofres]

Old thread, I know...but is this add-on 'current' for ZM 1.22.x ?

[voronwe]

Hi Beofres

Yes it should still work on the 1.22.x, i have not tested it on 1.23.x(BETA).

I know that there have been some problems with other distros than FC based once.

First of all, this is an absolutely great piece of work!

I came across 1 question, though:
It seems that in order for this to work, /etc/cron.d has to be rw for apache, which in general doesn't seem like a good idea. Or how have you set it up yourself, voronwe?

(I'm tesing on FC5, in the end it would run on FC7)

Hi blanx

No you dont have to mess with the permissions on / inside the /etc/cron.d directory since Cron will change them just as as fast as you can, but you have to make sure that the cron file from the package have the right premissions inside the /etc/cron.d directory, and they are:
Owner: root.root
Permissions: -rw-r--r--

When the permissions are right then cron will run the command inside the file, witch is a call to the php executeble, witch is run as root, so for that part there should be no problems.

The part where you have to assign apache some rights is for the sodu part and is only needed if you want to be able to view the log files, witch have been know to be somewhat buggy due to changes on how sodu works from distro to distro.

Hi All

After along time of testing on my own system, i have release a new version of my frontend, there have been some minor bug fixes, and a new template with icons.

As allways the Frontend can be downloaded here.

Or here.

Rember that this frontend is developed on RedHat derived systems, so there might be some issues with it on other systems.

Hello voronwe

Thank you for this great code.

I have an issue with that:

[voronwe]

Hi Normando

Hmmmm that looks funny.

What distro are you running it on ?

[Normando]

SME 7.3 (CENTOS 4)

[voronwe]

Hi Normando

Hmm that might be the problem, do you have any chance to try it on a server with Centos 5 ??

If i remember correct there are some major changes to PHP from Centos 4 to Centos 5.

[Normando]

Thank you voronwe for the fast reply

Yes, centos 5 has php 5, and centos 4 has 4.3. I can't upgrade to centos 5 because this is special distro made only for servers (SME http://wiki.contribs.org ) but I will try to run php4 and php5 as CGI mode.

I will return with results.

[voronwe]

Hi Normando

Ok otherwise i will have to see if i can solve your problem with some otherway to program that function.

[sag]

Sorry, we don't support this language.

Can you help my?

I sorry for poor English

[voronwe]

Hi Sag

What distro are you running on?

What version of the frontend are you running?

What version of Apache and PHP are you running on?

Is your version of PHP compiled with sessions enabled?

A quick try could be to change line 61 of login.php from:

Code: Select all

session_start();

To:

Code: Select all

//session_start();

[sag]

Thanks for you answer

My php.ini

[voronwe]

Hmm iam confused.

I just did aa test installation on my own system:

Code: Select all

CentOS 5.2 x86_64
Apache 2.2.3
PHP 5.1.6
MySql 5.0.22

And the only config i changed was the user name and the password for the database, and it all works.

Hmm i was thinking it might be an ownership or permission issue, try running the following commands:

Code: Select all

Try this first:
chown -R WEBUSER.WEBGROUP /var/www/localhost/htdocs/calendar/
Where WEBUSER.WEBGROUP is the user and group that your apache runs under.

If it stills fails try this:
chmod -R 755 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/calendar/*

If it still fails try this:
chmod -R 777 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/calendar/*

If it still dont work iam lost for the moment, and i will have to think more about what it could be.
