Topic: Development / #2 Edit mode not working

I just had a similar problem with an app I’m developing. A google search later, I came across this:

http://toolmantim.com/article/2006/9/19/safari_urls_the_semi_colon_and_one_night_in_paris

Or, the essential info:

I had the same problem on my test site (it worked fine for me locally). I was using http authentication to hide my test site from the world. and it turned out that safari wasn’t sending the authentication information if the semicolon is present in the URL so lighttpd was returning a 401 error. You can spot this in the server access logs (note the 3rd element, the username, is blank). (Tom Riley)

In both instances, the site was behind basic or digest auth.

Great, I’m eager to update when the change is in.

One of these days I’ll find an excuse to use PostgreSQL (and figure out how to pronounce it :-)

Topic: Development / #2 Edit mode not working

Yes! That is what is so perplexing. Why would it work at brightredglow.com, but not on my site? I haven’t had time to do any investigation since my posts a few days ago.

Topic: Installation / SVN Error

I just checked the referenced link above—no “change_type” is listed.

You don’t like MySQL because…? I’ve heard good things about Postgres, but have not actually used it yet.

Topic: Installation / Can Access Be Restricted

In the short term I just setup digest auth with the same username passwords that the users have for svn access. That’ll probably be fine for our purposes.

I tried that syntax and it works. My next guess was that “change” is a reserved word. Sure enough: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/reserved-words.html

Ouch. I’m open to suggestions.

Topic: Installation / Can Access Be Restricted

Is there a way to lock down the site other than via basic auth? I’m using it for a project with a private company and we want to keep all access within the company.

Thanks Jamie

Topic: Installation / SVN Error

I was able to point at my SVN installation no problem. The commit logs show up fine. However, when I click through to look at one of the commits, I get an error. Here’s the top, I can give more if needed:

ActionView::TemplateError (Mysql::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; 
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right 
syntax to use near 'change, id' at line 1:

ORDER BY change, id) on line #14 of app/views/changes/show.rhtml:

OK, I see the first one wins. :-)

Topic: Installation / Admin

OK, I’ve installed it… How do I setup the admin user?

Topic: Development / What about Beast?

PS I keep wanting to type “Dev’l” :-)

Topic: Development / What about Beast?

I am about to install Devil, so I haven’t actually looked a the code base. Is what you’ve done modular, or direct changes to Beast’s code-base?

Topic: Development / What about Beast?

Is there any interest by the Beast team to merge the two projects into one?
