Re: permissions on symlink/alias [solved]

It was the permissions on the parent directory (in this case my home
directory) that was causing the problem. I had to change this to 755 to get
apache to read its contents and generate an index.

Cannot login into CVS version rc1

Hello,
I just have downloaded the latest cvs version (1.0-rc1) and replaced the
old version with it. (I did all the steps as described in the upgrade.txt.)

But when pointing my browser to the netjuke directory I get this
error message instead of the login form:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/html/netjuke/lib/inc-theme.php on
line 133

Is this a bug or did I make a mistake?

Thanks in advance,
Jan

Automatic netjuke database maintenance

Hi:

In my configuration of netjuke I have all my files on a remote server that I
synchronise with my local music folder using rsync (this is a one way copy
done every night). 

I'd like to automate the maintenance process - specifically checking for
new/deleted/changed music files and reflect this in the netjuke system
without having to manually choose 1) recursive file find and then 2)
Maintain music database.

Ideally I need a single php script (e.g. based on db-maintain.php) that
performs both these functions without authentication (or with very simple
URL based authentication) that delivers some basic text output and I can
call using a text browser (e.g lynx) in a cron job nightly or at whatever
period I'd like.

Before I go and do this myself, anyone doing this already with netjuke ?

..Iain

It was a bug in the update-script which caused the database not to be
updated. The bug is fixed in the CVS tree now, so you would have to
update the code from CVS and run the update process again.

login counter bug?

I was just noticing in the user maint section that my account hadn't 
logged in since 6/21/03. Since I use it daily I wasn't sure what's up.

So I explicitly logged out and logged back in, and the login count was 
incremented and the date updated.

Apparently, if a user has "remember me" checked when they log in, 
future connections are not tracked as "logins".

The logins are counted whenever the session in the database is
created. When 'remember me' me is activated the session entry in the
database is not deleted and the same session will be used for all
future transactions with netjuke, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm not completely aware of the session management but I think it's
not that easy to determine when to count your netjuke access as a
login when you never explicitly log out, since the current session
lives forever.

You are suggesting to count a new login when a certain time since the
last page access has been reached, aren't you?

Re: login counter bug?

I think I assumed that the "remember me" did something client side 
(with a cookie perhaps) so that a new session is created each time a 
user accesses netjuke, rather than create an indefinite session. Is 
this common practice?

It creates a problem from the user accounting side, but does it also 
leave vulnerable a session that can be hijacked? does it also leave 
httpd procs around indefinitely or is the session stored in the db only?

thanks-

chris

A session is used for exactly this purpose: ensuring a user's identity
between multiple http accesses. The only difference here is, that in
case of the 'remember me' function there is no timeout for the session
and therefore the user remains logged in. If you would remove the
session you still need some way (cookie<->database) to keep track of
the user's identity for the 'remember me' function.

> It creates a problem from the user accounting side, but does it also

Netjuke uses a cookie to identify the user (the session). To hijack
the session you would at least need the cookie and I think you also
need the same IP.

> does it also leave httpd procs around indefinitely or is the session
> stored in the db only?
The session is stored in the database (table netjuke_sessions) and a
reference as cookie on the client side. There are no processes running
on the server - that's why we need the session to save the current
state of our application ;-)

Problems with import

After upgrading from b13 to b17 the "RECURSIVE AUDIO FILE FINDER" has
stopped working.  When I scan my music directory it finds the files and says
that it has inserted them but they don't actually show up in my music list
(i.e. the BROWSE section).

When I run the import in verbose mode the "Status" column says "Queued" but
the last message says they have been "inserted".  Is there another step I am
missing?

I cannot find any errors in /var/log/messages or in Apache's error_log.  Is
there somewhere else I should look for error messages?

Please help.  I have kind of gotten addicted to Netjuke.

Thanks,
  Victor
