have made slow plodding progress on the myvocs demo. managed to avoid
getting sidetracked with a sympa5.1 installed after checking for the rss
feature in sympa5.0 and seeing that it works. had to get a better
understanding of rss and how live bookmarks are created in firefox.
thought sympa had a problem with rss content type at first but it was just
a problem with the rss.ttl, it didn't have a closing brace on one of the
elements. Also updated template to just show listname and not have a
newline in front of the title since firefox seems to interpret all
whitespace literly in the title element. it seems firefox only "sees" the

!UPDATE: May 17, 2006
Two recent presentations have been given that provide an overview of myVocs and the scope of the technology and project. The first as at the [Spring 2006 Interent2 Member Meeting|http://grid.ncsa.uiuc.edu/presentations/i2mm-myvocs-gridshib-april06.ppt] in April and discussed our collaboration with the GridShib project and the second was given at the [TERENA 2006 conference in May|http://www.terena.nl/events/tnc2006/programme/presentations/show.php?pres_id=206]. This latter presentation is a good overview of the goals and architecture of myVocs. More updates to come.

!Pre-requisites

The first part of the install was mainly influenced by the need to install
ruby and rails, the platform for yubnub. This was fairly painless on fc3
after some poking around and getting familiar with ruby.

Did a subversion co of:

http://svn.yubnub.org/svn/yubnub

Installed ruby with up2date on fc3 and installed the "gem" tool that seems
to be the equiv of cpan and pear. During my install I also found that I
was missing irb and rdoc which are two ruby tools. After some more poking
I realized I could install them with up2date and that cleared up the ruby

answers to technical issues. we'll try to bring clarity to the developer
by focusing on the issues that are within our control and not getting
distracted with organizational issues. it's not that this issues are
unimportant in a deploy it's just that we want to look at the technology
and identify what is possible. it will be easiest to do this by
controlling the namespace of attributes in a way that is common in
homogenous system environments.

Here's a site (http://dbacl.sourceforge.net/spam_chess-1.html) where someone uses baysian filters to play check (good/ham moves versus bad/spam) moves. This approach might help realize my idea to improve folksonomy with basian filtering (http://lab.ac.uab.edu/node/edit/1245). It really makes sense since what having many people tag the same data does is pretty much the same as way a bays filter automates. worth looking into.

The administrator subdirectory of mambo distribution contains 3 files named index?.php . All files required this change. administrator/includes/auth.php



inside each file, immediately following the line:
session_name( 'mosadmin' );

insert:
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');



must be prior to line:
session_start();



otherwise there are "failure to initiate properly" issues.

BACKGROUND INFO:

Directive session.save_handler defines session management handler. php.ini default value = 'user', which if I've read

I get this error while installing trac:

You might come across this error while installing Trac:

Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

No module named trac.core

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/www/cgi-bin/trac.cgi", line 24, in ?
import trac.core
ImportError: No module named trac.core

This error is caused because the python path for site-packages is not found. Set the environment variable PYTHONPATH in your Apache configuration file for Trac to point to the correct path.

for example:
PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages

Enable the RewriteEngine and set the inherit option of the RewriteOptions in your ssl virtual host conf file.

Include the following in the ssl.conf file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions inherit

By default, rewrite configurations are not inherited. This means that you need to have a RewriteEngine on directive for each virtual host in which you wish to use it.

The option inherit forces the current configuration to inherit the configuration of the parent. In per-virtual-server context this means that the maps, conditions and rules of the main server are inherited. In per-directory context this means that conditions and rules of the parent directory's .htaccess configuration are inherited.
