Root Access

Ariane

Okay.

@Tom

I did this

while(false !== ($DossierEquipe=readdir($D_Equipes))) {

Then folders are added successfully

But then for some reason no other part of the script can read those folders.

E.g. on my index, now, it says "Number of players in the league : 0."

And when I try to list teams, now, it tells me no teams have been added.

But the folders do exist.

And they do contain their files with their rightful content.

Would you like my full folder?

Tom Wijsman

No, I don't write PHP.

codinghorror.com/blog/2012/06/the-php-singularity.html

Ariane

^^'

Ooooh, found the issue.

Testing...

Bleh, I'm stupid

"NOTHING WORKS SUDDENLY!!" - "How about you apply the same fix to all similar loops?" - "aaaaaah."

And PHP being one of my first programming languages, it's a great one to me. :p

Do you know how you recognise someone who's a programmer to the core?

K, on the server where it's running, go to the command line (Start->Run->cmd). Type cd drive:\path\to\folder and press Enter
Then type dir and copy the list

^When that's their first reflex when telling someone to list what's in a directory.

@Ariane Yeah, I think with experience you get to know that most of the time, errors are caused by silly mistakes. When you first start out, you tend toward thinking it is some hugely complicated problem - like you assume that the only possible explanation is you have found a bug in the language itself that no one has discovered before :)

Ariane

@Journey Why is your name in italic?

Journeyman Geek

Channel owner ;p

Tom Wijsman

@Ariane ls /path/to/folder | wgetpaste <3

(Probably want to show hidden files too, and recurse it, and other magic)

Ariane

Oh, okay.

@Tom The command prompt is evil and as such I fear it.

Journeyman Geek

lol

@Ariane: you must learn the way of the commandline to truely master the machine

@TomWijsman: wgetpaste... may need installing?

Ariane

00:24

Noes! Whenever it shows its ugly face, I point a cross at it. Vade retro Commandprompta

Journeyman Geek

lol

I used to think so too ;p

Tom Wijsman

@JourneymanGeek Not on Gentoo! :P

Journeyman Geek

its gentoo

EVERYTHING needs installing

Tom Wijsman

No, since you don't have Gentoo until you have installed Gentoo, therefore you don't need to install wgetpaste on Gentoo since it is already part of Gentoo, you see?

One you have Gentoo (and internet and something you want to wgetpaste) you can wgetpaste.

Ariane

oops

<select name="something">
<option value="0">Zero</option>
</select>

PHP interprets this as $something=[nothing]. How can I have it interpret it as $something=0 ?

Oliver Salzburg

00:42

@Ariane Well, did you select "Zero"?

Ariane

Yes of course.

Oliver Salzburg

Why would it be called $something anyway? And not $POST["something"]?

Ariane

Ah uhm. I have a script that just fetches everything with $_REQUEST and assigns them to their respective variables.

Oliver Salzburg

@Ariane I see, and that is working properly I hope? ;D

Ariane

For everything else, it is.

<?php
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) {
if (!empty($_REQUEST["$key"])) {
$$key = $_REQUEST["$key"];
}
else {
$$key = "";
}
}
?>

The script.

But waaaait.

!empty.

That's screwing my variable up right ?

Oliver Salzburg

00:45

Not so sure. My PHP isn't the best

Ariane

Well, empty() considers 0 to be "empty".

Oliver Salzburg

I usually only use isset() IIRC

Paul

@TomWijsman wgetpaste isn't part of my gentoo installation

Tom Wijsman

@Paul Yeah, doesn't appear in my test chroot.

Paul

Perhaps more recent stage3 has it...

Tom Wijsman

00:54

Seems I emerged it way too early on...

Paul

@TomWijsman Yeah I just checked one I did only a couple of months ago from scratch, and not there

Tom Wijsman

Hmm, now it makes me wonder if it's on the live installation medium.

Cause often the people that need it are still in that phase.

But well, it thus indeed doesn't come by default. Though it isn't hard or takes long to install... :)

Paul

@TomWijsman Yeah, that would make sense

Ariane

Yush, isset fixed it.

Ok well I'm a complete novice when flashing BIOS (done it many many years ago. like in the 90's) and a quick google search everything wants me to install a utility to do so. Machine I want to flash has no OS on it currently. Is there another straight forward way to flash a bios? (Update it)

Journeyman Geek

I'm leaning towards seeing if there's a dos bios utility

then making a bootable dos disk of some sort (maybe a USB drive formatted with the old HP drive tool) and flashing off that

rlemon

the EBM LX800 board (precursor) is the same spec but larger and with no SATA ports. I noticed they have the same BIOS

Journeyman Geek

I wouldn't mind getting my paws on one, but they're probably expensive enough I'd be better off getting a low end 'regular' x86 proc

Ok, serious now. I never coded in VB. I have run a few existing VB scripts. I have modified them with 'cut-and-paste-and-guess programming' and I have broken them by adding new groups to Active Directory. (The scripts read information out of AD and broke when I added a group with an ampersand in it).

That is all of my experience with VB

Ben Brocka

@OliverSalzburg I'll give one of those a try. I hate to replace the old thing but I'm realizing a $90 SSD today is better than the 4 year old $600 SSD that's in there. Just not sure if it's the SSD that's the problem

HackToHell

@OliverSalzburg Is it fast ?

BGM

@OliverSalzburg - Thanks - I'll take a look at that.

Hennes

Why try to back up the whole LAN? Do not store data on most computers. Put it all in a fielserver

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell I wasn't even able to upload a single file so far.

When MEGA opened, the uploads would just sit in the queue and do nothing

HackToHell

HackToHell

I am uploading a 70kb file :P

50gigs of storage is a LOT though

BGM

Yup. I've lots of problems.

Hennes

Well, if you ever upgrade: Standard images, fileserver, ... Or terminal server

@hennes I am thinking of a special machine on the network that can go onto each computer and take images or synchronize files to itself.

@rlemon no luck with drivers?

rlemon

tbh don't even know where to start - google was my first guess :P

I try not to deal with this stuff too often. but when the boss asks you to do something you don't just say no.

r.tanner.f

ah lol

Windows XP probably doesn't have the proper drivers to recognize the SSD

while you're at it, update to SP3

SP2 is... broken.

See if you can download the drivers for the SSD and load them up

@rlemon are you trying to reinstall?

rlemon

well from another suggestion I got I'm loading up linux from a livecd and seeing if I can mount the drive there.

@r.tanner.f no. prototype deal - board normally runs QNX

so I had a blank CF that took winXP SP2 image fine.

but we needed more space and had some SSD's laying around so thought i'd put one on it.

current thought: if linux sees it and I can put a ms-dos partition table on it maybe windows will as well?

r.tanner.f

not if it's a drivers problem :P

rlemon

19:31

well this will help narrow that down won't it?

r.tanner.f

yeah, I'd be willing to bet linux will see it

ms-dos partition table couldn't hurt anyway

rlemon

so if fdisk -l returns nothing... I should be concerned?

give him root access

trying to avoid that

I want him to have access only to the devsite

at least for now

rlemon

add him to the group temporarily ?

Joseph

I tried that too. I added him to the cpanel user group, but it still gives permission denied when editing anything in the dev directory

I was gonna chroot him to the dev directory, but I'm still fighting perm errors with him being able to edit

can;t change owners either, it breaks the site with a 500 eroor

Q: Custom/personal dyndns solution?

I can't think of how to make this work, but it seems like something that should be doable.. I currently own my own domain, and have been using dyndns.com's "custom DNS" to allow me to redirect 'example.com' to my website at home, which is on a dynamic IP. I've now switched over to a VPS solutio...
