"What is mod_authz_svn_db?" by Christopher Richard Wojno

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:41:22 -0700

VERY under development. And the development is mostly stagnant. Not to say I’ve given up on it, but that it is certainly not ready for production.

If I recall correctly, I had to jump through hoops to get the apache2 libraries to work correctly. On FreeBSD, there’s a separate package for the core apache stuff. You don’t sound like an idiot, so I’m sure you’ve already made sure you have the development libs. If that’s the case, then I’m not sure what’s wrong given your description. Make sure you have the following in your include directories SOMEWHERE:

#include <httpd.h>
#include <http_config.h>
#include <http_core.h>
#include <http_request.h>
#include <http_protocol.h>
#include <http_log.h>
#include <ap_config.h>
#include <apr_uri.h>
#include <mod_dav.h>

I apologize for the delayed approval and response. I get so busy I forget I have a blog at times.

Ah the module I found on tigris that brought me here. Thank you very much for this work, it looks very promising just based on what I’ve looked at so far.

As my posting to svn-users indicates, I’m really interested in this. http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2008-05/0669.shtml

Compiling dbd mysql proved a bit too complicated for a newcomer like myself, but thankfully Ubuntu and CentOS both come with compiled mod_authz_mysql modules, which is what I’m using to replace AuthUserFile—I really like that I can point it at an existing database of users and passwords (from say, a forum).

Is this module still under development? I checked it out of subversion and am attempting to compile on Ubuntu 8.04 with gcc 4.2.3 and the appropriate libraries installed witht he right paths but it fails in the apache2 core, apr and request_rec problems.

"A DNS Server to Call My Own" by quadir

I’ve also gotten a lot of joy out of running my own DNS server. My favorite aspect of it is that I get to choose when it updates with the world.

That means if I change the ip for a domain name, or a website I frequent changes ips on their dns servers, I can get the changes immediately instead of possibly waiting 1-2 days for my ISP to wake up and stop ignoring the TTLs.

It’s not a big thing, but often it’s the little things that count.

"Rendering Forms in a Paragraph" by quadir

I’m not seeing the correlation between your example and your conclusion.

If you want your example to render on a single line, but have discovered that you can’t put a <form> inside a <p>, the proper solution is to move the <form> outside the <p>:


<form action="secret_search" method="post">
<p>If you're looking for other confidential
search parameters, click
<input type="hidden" value="my secret search parameters"/>
<input type="submit" value="here"/>
!</p>
</form>

If however you wanted them to appear on seperate lines, then either you need to use deprecated linebreaks as you said, or a better solution would be to make each line it’s own paragraph. You could also use div blocks.


<p>If you're looking for other confidential
search parameters, click</p>
<form action="secret_search" method="post">
<p><input type="hidden" value="my secret search parameters"/>
<input type="submit" value="here"/></p>
</form>
<p>!</p>

Finally you reference the HTML 4.0 specification (not HTML 4.01) and yet your example is clearly XHTML of some sort. In either case, I think the best solution would be to implement this formatting using CSS, where you can redefine the rules for p tags and don’t need to the specification at all but still retain some logical flow.

And what about CSS? Isn’t it any CSS hack for this situation?

I used to use normal fixtures, and I’m using now your code, and it works prefectly. Thank you Chris!

Thanks for posting that. I was having trouble finding the settings to reduce my IMAP connections. My hosting company was blocking me.

"Voices of the Lifestream" by Christopher Wojno

Ah, quite right. I had forgotten about Chrono-Trigger. Sadly, I’ve never played that one.

Thanks a lot for the kind words on Voices of the Lifestream and OC ReMix in general, Chris. You can always grab most of our music from our torrents area (http://bt.ocremix.org), which has over 100 hours worth of free ReMixes.

Even if you haven’t heard of the game or soundtrack of a particlar ReMix, if you check those out anyway you’ll really find some more great stuff.

We’ve actually got more Chrono Trigger arrangements than Final Fantasy VII arrangements, but in time that could change!
