With my ongoing bookmark project work, I've been thinking quite a bit about how to enable easy integration of new (and possibly optional) features. This is a great practical example to fuel that line of thinking, much simpler than Annote, in that integration is enabled via additions to the layout -- no controllers or wiki syntax extensions required. I'll add this to my next round of brainstorming on instiki add-ons and probably use it as an example case... -- John From watts at ranea.org Sat Jul 8 21:17:39 2006 From: watts at ranea.org (Watts Martin) Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 18:17:39 -0700 Subject: [Instiki] undefined method 'web'? Message-ID: I've been running a wiki on (someone else's) Mac OS X machine for a while, first on Instiki 0.10.2 then 0.11, without much issue. However, today someone reported that when they tried to create a new page on the wiki, it gave them this error when they tried to save: undefined method 'web' for nil:NilClass This is a wiki which has been working before and which I'm pretty sure created pages successfully on the 0.11 release, too. To add to the confusion, when I copied it all to my MacBook, it runs there with no issue, letting me create pages without errors. I've tried checking out the source from Subversion on my MacBook, copying over the old database to the new and one and reapplying my stylesheet tweaks. It works... but again, only on the MacBook. On the friend's box (a PPC-based Mac Mini), it gets the same error. Does anyone have any ideas? Could something have changed on my friend's server that would cause this problem? We're both using DarwinPorts for Ruby, as far as I know, and so both have the same version. I don't honestly know enough about Rails to debug this; from the production.log file it looks like it's happening in the "save" method of the wiki_controller file, but this is really mysterious to me.

I didn't use DarwinPorts but I got the same error on a G4 Mac until I found some advice to install SWIG and then to re-install the sqlite3- ruby gem. After I did that, Instiki runs fine, including in daemon mode. I certainly didn't experience it working for awhile and then breaking though. It never worked until I did SWIG - sqlite3-ruby. -- A young idea is a beautiful and a fragile thing. Attack people, not ideas.

From tomcloyd at comcast.net Wed Jul 12 02:01:28 2006 From: tomcloyd at comcast.net (Tom Cloyd) Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 23:01:28 -0700 Subject: [Instiki] quirky bug Message-ID: Greetings. Not exactly a showstopper (once you know the workaround, anyway), I've encountered this bug before, and worked around it without really isolating it too well. This time I've isolated it better. I'm running Instiki 0.11.0 on Windows (my desktop) and a FreeBSD (I think) remote server. I cannot replicate the bug on the Windows version (installed from the same download as the Instiki on the FreeBSD server). I have no idea why. While writing text in a wiki page, I suddenly began getting this error message when I clicked "Submit" - *** begin message *** Precondition Failed The precondition on the request for the URL /dvl/save/Key+maintenance+tools evaluated to false. *** end message *** The text was very plain. I was attempting nothing unusual that I could see. I did a cursory check for character code problems (the text had originally been written in jEdit and copied into Instiki) and found nothing. Then I did what I always do at this point: I began a binary search for the problem. I loaded half the page and clicked submit. No problem. I then loaded half the remaining page. Problem. Continuing this routine, I finally got down to this text string: "...can be accomplished either with FTP (file transfer protocol) programs built into..." Insertion of this will cause the Problem. Nuts? Yeah. I was clueless as to the real issue. Continuing to break it down, I found that Instiki was choking on "FTP". This fixed it: "...can be accomplished either with FTP (file transfer protocol) programs built into..." Playing with it a bit more, it turns out that "FTP" on a line by itself is OK. In a header line (e.g. "h2. FTP blah blah") is OK. But put "FTP" in the middle of a sentence and the page will be rejected. I do not recall what caused this identical problem for me in the past. I never isolated the exact issue. I also have not the skills to take this further. So...hopefully someone can make sense of this! -- t. ================================================ Tom Cloyd, MS MA, LMHC Private practice Psychotherapist Bellingham, Washington, U.S.A: (360) 920-1226 << TC.BestMindHealth.com / BestMindHealth.com >> << tomcloyd at bestmindhealth.com >> ================================================ From dewiniaeth at gmail.com Thu Jul 13 04:32:02 2006 From: dewiniaeth at gmail.com (Jason Howard) Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2006 04:32:02 -0400 Subject: [Instiki] Running Instiki -- just get blank page Message-ID: <3df195170607130132y5ee1b91fkbb8e7522d1aa1810@mail.gmail.com> I'm trying to run Instiki locally with Windows ME.

I'm no expert and they also resolve to the same thing on my Mac, but RFC 3330 says that 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address while the 0.0.0.0 block are for "source hosts on 'this' network". The was "this" network is capitalized implies to me that some other machine on the LAN might be the source host.

I think not. That's not the way Rails works and Instiki is now a rails Application. You have to set up database.yml correctly for Postgres and you have to have the Postgres adaptor installed in Ruby.

Oh, you may also have to create the database. You don't have to with SQLite but you do have to with MySQL.

It's not a Windows problem; it doesn't work on Linux either. I just downloaded Instiki, untarred it, went into the directory and ran ./instiki.

Yep Here is exactly what I did: Updated Ruby to 1.8.4 (because I have OSX and it only comes with 1.8.2) Updated my .bashrc file to put /usr/local/bin at the start of my PATH (so 'which ruby' returns '/usr/local/bin/ruby' ) Downloaded, built and installed SWIG (the documentation on the Instiki site said that this was needed for OSX). Used gem to install the SQLite3 adapter. Downloaded instiki-0.11.0.tgz to my desktop Double-clicked the .tgz file Dragged the instiki-0.11.0 folder into my home directory Fired up terminal and typed: cd inst ./inst Launched Safari and typed -L localhost:2500 Started answering the questions to create my wiki. It's running right now, on port 80, in daemon mode. I've been collaborating with a few other people on a publication. What I did NOT do was install the latest SQLite 3. Tiger comes with 3.1.3 and that seems to do the job. I guess it's possible that SQLite3 and the Ruby driver for it are out of synch. Other than installing SWIG and not installing SQLite 3 I just followed the README file. I don't really have a clue why it's not working for you but it is working for others so keep the faith. --- Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear. -Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970) From meta at pobox.com Mon Jul 17 08:17:31 2006 From: meta at pobox.com (mathew) Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 07:17:31 -0500 Subject: [Instiki] Running Instiki -- just get blank page In-Reply-To: <11C1B97A-D1CF-4318-BEE8-1256CB7E120A@mac.com> References: <44BAA5D0.8010103@pobox.com> <11C1B97A-D1CF-4318-BEE8-1256CB7E120A@mac.com> Message-ID: <7eeceb440607170517i207c6982j2f05587946901803@mail.gmail.com> On 7/16/06, Chris Gehlker wrote: > > What I did NOT do was install the latest SQLite 3.

Thanks to mathew's Debian tip above, I googled for libsqlite3-ruby1.8 and windows and found this page: http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/BeAlertWhenOnSqlite3 Following his steps seemed to solve my blank page problem: 1. Download: http://sqlite.org/sqlitedll-3_3_5.zip (the DLL, command line executable is a separate download) 2. Unzip into your $RUBY/bin directory. 3. gem install sqlite3-ruby 4.
