A nice profile!

I tried installing Prosepoint (the 008 version) cleanly on a local development system, using the demo variant, and get the following warnings:

warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /share/www/pp/includes/file.inc on line 131.

and many more warning similar to this for each image installed:

warning: rename(/tmp/mediumSTS_114_day_before_launch.jpg,files/imagecache/medium/STS_114_day_before_launch.jpg) [function.rename]: Operation not permitted in /share/www/pp/profiles/prosepoint/modules/prosepoint/pp_image.module on line 61.

I setup files in the root of the PP installation at the same level as Profiles.

Hi,

I'm a bit confused, because I thought you were getting ... "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\includes\file.inc on line 891"?

Or perhaps the "Operation not permitted ..." messages point to the cause of the script running for more than 60 seconds.

I'll try to answer the "Operation not permitted ..." ones first, as they are more meaningful error messages. They seem to indicate that your web server doesn't have access to your "files" directory.

Can I ask ...

What OS are you installing on?

If linux, Mac, or BSD ...

what user account is your web server running as (it's probably www-data, apache, or httpd)?

What user owns the extracted ProsePoint files (this is probably your user account)?

And, what is the output from the command "ls -ld files" in your ProsePoint root?

Sorry about the confusion. The first post in this thread came from someone else. I just decided to use this issue because it seemed relevant to the problem we were discussing in the Philippine groups problem. To summarize:

1. Yes indeed the problem IS "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\includes\file.inc on line 891"

2. I'm using Win XP

3. I'm not sure what you mean by "user account" in my webserver. I'm running Prosepoint in Wampserver offline in my machine

I'm stuck in the position where I can't install the Prosepoint/Drupal package, despite having bumped up the max_input and memory limit values in php.ini

Hope this helps

Oops. Lots and lots of confusion.

@talatnat: Sorry for any confusion. I also apologise for not replying to your issue after so many days. I thought I was subscribed to all issues on this project, but I wasn't. Hence I didn't know about your filing. If your original issue is still around, please respond back to me and I'll help you with it.

@hotmanila_editor: I'll file a new issue for this ... See #334614: Installation problem on WAMP server.

Bengtan: Hi, no problems.

I installed on Linux, webserver is apache, files directory exists and is writable, ls -ld files (drwxrwxrwx 4 jc jc 16384 2008-11-07 06:33 files).

The warnings still exist when I install, but the site seems to perform OK despite them. A question: How does one configure the Dashboard?

Do the warnings still occur when you use the site after installing? If not, and your image nodes seem to be working okay, then I'd say we can ignore them. Strange though.

The dashboard is currently coded in PHP, so it's not really configurable. The dashboard is still in experimental phase - we put things in there which we thought would be useful for users, but we're waiting for feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what's useful to include in it.

Would you like to share any of your thoughts?

I have been using Prosepoint in a customized application for a year now and it is working really well overall.

I do have a few suggestions for people using this in those "non-profit" kinds of environments where getting steady news on a topic is important but the full fledged web magazine is too much.

In regards to the dashboard, I think a lot would be gained if Prosepoint spent their time coding widgets for the Panels plugin. There are actually a lot of interesting capabilities in Panels and the CTools package that might replace some of the coded functions and save you even more development/debugging time without much cost because so many people are using Panels already.

The Dashboard page could be ajax drag n drop configurable with what people want to see.
