There is a diff on the smartfeed github from 2 years ago referencing this code.

I never really used sftp before but I have finally have it figured out. I have been using Filezilla as the sftp client. The problems have been arising from the user permissions on the web site. As Art likes to complain user permissions in Linux are a lot different and especially with SELinux turned on. For an individual user to upload files to the web root to maintain the site the options are

1) upload the files to your shell account, unpack the files, copy to the correct location on the web path, chown to apache:apache, then execute

Code: Select all

$ unzip my_files
$ sudo su -
# cd /home/myuser/
# cp my_files /web_path/my_directory/ -R
# chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /web_path/my_directory
# exit
$


2) I have changed to permissions on the phpBB3 directory so that sftp should work from inside the Administrative Control Panel. Automod has an sftp function to allow admins to upload mods to the phpBB3 site without using the the above Linux-speak.

3) same is true for the wordpress site.

Let me know if you are still having problems.

I am open to suggestions on a couple of items we want/need to install.

wordpress - we will need a analytics of statistics tracking module as we put the wordpress on line.

akismet - Tony can you sign up for this module? Akismet is the main anti-blog-spam module for wordpress.

phpBB3 - membership module ideas

membership management http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=2126610

Loewen has a number of mods for phpBB including a donation mod and apparently a pain membership mod: http://bbs.loewen.com.sg/viewforum.php?f=33

I could use some input.

That thread is really old.
There is plenty of stuff for the later versions as well.
Was it smartfeed 2.2.23 or greater? There is a version posted on the 12th (2.2.24) that has no testing data out yet. What version is installed?

PHPbb3 User Blog mod....

Have you looked at the paypal mod? It doesn't run under automod (I don't think) but it is pretty easy to install.

[drbowen]

smartfeed 2.2.22
The 2.2.23 and 2.2.24 looked like they were still in beta.

The User Blog Mod does not support PHP versions less than 5.1.0. (we're running 5.3.x)

Haven't found much in the way of the membership management other than straight Paypal donation.

Sam Bowen

So we're good, right?..doesn't support less than means does support greater than...right? Otherwise I am confused as to why to mention that...

[drbowen]

I updated:

UMIL - Unified Mod Install Library
