I really hope that helps :-)

Hi,

> Try creating a user that is not supposed to exist

C:\opt\topincs\bin>create-user.bat foo bar
1364: Field 'system_reifier' doesn't have a default value
User foo could not be created in store topincs.

In fact, I checked the database contents: database structure has been
created, but all the tables are empty.

After I manually execute the following SQL statement, I'm able to log
in actually! (it's nice UI you have there, BTW)

insert into users set user_name="test", password="test",
system_reifier="42";

My setup:

Apache HTTP Server 2.0.58
mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.21, for Win32 (ia32)
PHP 4.4.2 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Jan 13 2006 13:53:43)
WinXP Pro +SP2

Cheers,
Fedor.

Ok, things are moving, but I am still having problems :-(

I can now access localhost/topincs. I created a user and imported a
Topic Map but when I log in all I see is the structure of the
application (Menu, Maps, History, Search), but no information or any
functionality. This was the same when I logged on as test.

I am using Firefox 1.5.0.3.

All the best

Mark

Mark,

The missing topincs.httpd.conf is the cause of the problem. I do
suspect that your installation is corrupt due to the issues in the
beginning with PHP/MySQL. Remove the topincs dir and unpack the
distribution (best 1.1.2) and run configure again.

Regards,
Robert

Robert,

the line written by configure:

Include "/usr/local/topincs/conf/httpd.conf"

The contents of TOPINCS_HOME/conf/httpd.conf:

RewriteEngine on

<Directory "/usr/local/topincs/docroot">
      DirectoryIndex index.php
      AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' .html
      DefaultType application/x-httpd-php
      php_value error_log "/usr/local/topincs/logs/php_server.log"
      php_value include_path "/usr/local/topincs/php:/usr/local/
topincs/vendor/php"
      php_value log_errors "1"
      php_value default_charset "UTF-8"
      php_value magic_quotes_gpc "0"
      php_value max_execution_time "7200"
</Directory>

Include "/usr/local/topincs/conf/*.httpd.conf"


There is no topincs.httpd.conf, nor did configure say anything about
trying to write one.

All the best

Mark

Mark,

Pls post the complete include line as it is written by configure and
post the content of TOPINCS_HOME/conf/httpd.conf and the
TOPINCS_HOME/conf/topincs.httpd.conf.

Regards,
Robert

Robert,

mod_rewrite is activated as is mod_setenvif. I can't find any
reference to mod_setenv - nor in the Apache 2 documentation.

The error log just says: File does not exist: /Library/Apache2/htdocs/
topincs which suggests that the topincs.httpd.conf is not doing
anything, as the location of topincs is /usr/local (which is what the
generated httpd.conf says).

All the best

Mark

PS I appreciate the support you are providing

Fedor,

Try creating a user that is not supposed to exist

create_user.bat fedor fedors_password

If the problem persits, post all versions of the AMP installations.

Mark,

Determine if Apache is running without Topincs by uncommenting the
"Include TOPINCS_HOME/conf/httpd.conf" line and restarting Apache. If
it is running fine, activate the line again and look into your
APACHE_HOME/logs/errors.log to see if Topincs requires something that
is not activated in Apache. Make sure you activated mod_rewrite and
mod_setenv.

Kind regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,

I found that there is a documented problem with PHP and MySQL on OS
X. Just in case anyone else ever has the same problem, I used the fix
documented here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?
story=20060111113313511&lsrc=osxh

Anyway, configure now works fine as far as I can see.

So I completed the installation process as documented, modifying
httpd.conf, and followed the link to http://localhost/topincs/.
However I just get a 404 error. As far as I can see the line Include
"/usr/local/topincs/conf/httpd.conf" is okay, and I did remember to
restart Apache. The topincs httpd.conf has been generated and all the
path information within it is okay.

Could there be something it needs that is switched off in Apache?

All the best

Mark

Ok, I tried, here's what it has to say:

C:\opt\topincs\bin>create-user.bat test test
1364: Field 'system_reifier' doesn't have a default value
User test could not be created in store topincs.

Cheers,
Fedor.

Fedor,

I am considering providing a zip archive. I just am a very loyal
cygwin user, so the problem did not occur to me, but thank you for
exposing it.

Try creating a user on the command line. Script is called create-user.
Run it in TOPINCS_HOME/bin.

Best regards,
Robert

You're right, of course! Using cygwin tools I'm able to extract
everything, and configure works. I was using FilZip, which aparently
doesn't handle tar.gz format well. Perhaps you could consider a zip
package for Windows installations?

But I still can't loging using test/test. No specific errors in apache
logs.

Fedor.

Hello Fedor,

The stores and the conf dir are present upon extracting the archive,
they are empty but present. Pls check your extracting procedure for
possible errors.

Kind regards,
Robert

Hi,

as described in the installation guide, I start configure script
(which won't do anything until I create TOPINCS_HOME/stores directory,
BTW), and it outputs quite a load of error messages. Most important
are IMO the messages about inability to update database tables, such as:

1452: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails
(`topincs/topics`, CONSTRAINT `topics_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`parent`)
REFERENCES `topic_maps` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE NO ACT
Query: INSERT INTO topics
(id,parent,modification_ts,modification_user,creation_ts,creation_user,creation_\
tag)
VALUES (null,'System',null,'System',null,'System','Import -
C:\opt\topincs\resources/jtm/TMDM.jtm')

1452: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails
(`topincs/subject_identifiers`, CONSTRAINT
`subject_identifiers_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`id`) REFERENCES `topics`
(`id`) ON DELETE CASCAD
Query: INSERT INTO subject_identifiers VALUES('0',
'http://psi.topicmaps.com/iso13250/association')

There are plenty of such messages with different PSIs.

Further on, I noticed the following:

Could not locate topic identified by
'http://psi.topicmaps.com/iso13250/topic-name'

and...

1048: Column 'type' cannot be null
Query: INSERT INTO associations
(id,type,reifier,parent,modification_ts,modification_user,creation_ts,creation_u\
ser,creation_tag)
VALUES (null,null,null,'System',null,'System',null,'System','Import -
C:\opt\topincs\resources/jtm/Tools.jtm')

also this one:

Error: association.get/01 - Item (association) was accessed, but
cannot be fetched from the database, id:

There are also "Undefined property" PHP errors, which may relevant, I
just don't know.

I'm reluctant to post the entire error log here, but I can send all
the details by email.

Cheers,
Fedor.

Heh. I noticed this is fixed in 1.1.2.

Cheers,
Fedor.

Hi,

I'm trying to install Topincs on WinXP and I'm having difficulties
with cofigure script. First, I must create TOPINCS_HOME/conf directory
in order for the script to execute. But then it reports "Invalid store
name. First character must be a letter.". I figure, this is because of
the function check_store_name in _create_store.php, which contains the
following statement:

   if (preg_match("/^\d/", $name) != 1) {
     return "Invalid store name. First character must be a letter.";
   }

I don't know much about php, but it seems pattern "/^\d/" matches
first digit, while it is expected to match alpha character. After
changing that to "/^\w/" the script works.

Cheers,
Fedor.

Some bugfixes.

Hello Mark,

Try putting something like

mysql.default_socket=/tmp/mysql.sock

or

mysql.default_socket=/private/tmp/mysql.sock

into your /etc/php.ini.

Kind regards,
Robert

Hi,

I am trying to install on OS X. I have Apache 2.0.52 with PHP 4.3.9
and MySQL 5.0.21.

Apache (mod_rewrite enabled) and PHP (mbstring enabled) are running
without problem.

I have followed instructions for setting up MySQL, changing the
password and adding MYSQL_HOME/bin to my PATH, where MYSQL_HOME is the
  path of MySQL on my machine.

I am now trying to run configure, but I get the following error:

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in
/usr/local/topincs/php/admin/configure.php on line 22
No database connection possible. Please check your credentials!
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

My credentials are fine :-) I can use MySQL from the same command line
  using the same password I am passing to configure.

Can anyone suggest anything I can try to get configure working?

All the best

But, it is very hard to get clear, level-headed dialog
going. Far too many passions, tribes, etc. You end up
reading what you can, then making your own choices.
Consider going to http://compendiuminstitute.org/ and
downloading the dialog mapping tool Compendium. Boot it and
build your own decision tree.

Cheers,

Jack,

Thank you very much for your input on licensing. I will look into it
soon. Do you know a good site on this issue? Best would be a matrix with
licenses and rights for comparison.

Hello Valère

It is generated once you run configure in TOPINCS_HOME/bin.

Hello,

    I can't find the TOPINCS_HOME/conf/httpd.conf in the 3 archives
released, can you post it, or fix the releases ?

    Thank you very much.

Robert,

Publishing the code might protect you in terms of copyrights to the code
itself, but that doesn't preclude someone from patenting an
*application* of that code. For instance, suppose you published code
that, like just about every bit of software on the planet, including
yours, lets you click on a link and navigate to a new page. Then, along
comes Amazon.com who puts a patent on using just one such click to open
a particular kind of page. People do dumb things like that. Every day!
Even behemoths like IBM and Microsoft do things like that. So, you need
protection from "what people will do with your software" as much as
anything else.

It could take just one patent on application of your software to just
one use case that could conceivably obliterate any real value your
program offers. I see no reason why the good folks at apache.org and
others don't realize this (perhaps they do, but I haven't seen evidence
of it yet).  I haven't looked too closely, but I suspect the Mozilla
license and possibly IBM's Common Public License (eclipse license?) pay
attention to these things.  I'm not a lawyer and don't play one on tv
either, but I have this hunch that the LGPL is one of a few licenses
that try to pay attention to such details.

Some minor bugfixes.

Robert.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the input on the licensing. As i mentioned it is very likley
that it will become open source very soon, since i am someone who likes
to share ideas :-) I just did not have the time to look into it, so i am
very thankful that you push me in one direction. In particular the
second point you mentioned is important to me. But i thought it would be
accomplished already by publishing the code unpatented?!?

Kind regards,
Robert

I just downloaded topincs. Great idea!
Not too helpful to those of us who love to trade ideas and code
snippets given the current "license". May I respectfully suggest the
LGPL license for the following reasons.

BSD licenses are the simplest, easiest to use. But, they lack two
kinds of protections that I think are important.

One is the requirement that, if someone finds a bug in the licensed
source code, there is no requirement to share the fix with others.

One is protection from someone taking the licensed code and burying it
with patents of one sort or another.

There are many licenses which deal with these issues, one of which is
the LGPL. A project I helped create, IRIS [1], is licensed LGPL. I
would not mind having the ability to incorporate aspects of if not all
of topincs into some aspect of IRIS.

Cheers,
Jack
