Forum: Heterotic Beast – Topic: redirecting bug ??

Sorry for my mistake.

Now admin user created normally.

But same problem.

Forum: Heterotic Beast – Topic: redirecting bug ??

And, if you paid attention, as the bootstrap script executed, it told you exactly what the problem was:

You failed to create the initial “admin” user, whose presence is needed, in order for Heterotic Beast to function.

Forum: Heterotic Beast – Topic: redirecting bug ??

Thanks for replying.

I’ve updated Rails to 3.1.1 now. and cloned from GitHub.

but same problem.

I’ve created MySQL database (heterotic, heterotic_test) manually.

Here is the app:bootstrap log. (sorry for long text again)

juhl@jufoot:/var/www/heterotic_beast$ sudo ruby bundle exec rake app:bootstrap
Bootstrapping Heterotic_beast...

1) Create database.yml config file.
2) Load Database Schema.
3) Setup the Application Database.

It looks like you already have a database.yml file.
Would you like to CLEAR it and start over? [y/n]
y

Host name:  |localhost|


This same database will be used for your DEV and PRODUCTION environments.
The test database name will be inferred from this database name.
Database name:
heterotic

User name:  |root|
heterotic2

Password:
********

Socket path: (blank by default)

Your databases:
Development: 'heterotic'
Production:  'heterotic'
Test:        'heterotic_test'

Now it's time to load the schema into the development and test databases.  Any existing data will be
OVERWRITTEN. Are you sure you wish to continue? [y/n]
y

mkdir -p /var/www/heterotic_beast/log

==========================================================

Heterotic_beast is ready to roll.
Okay, thanks for bootstrapping!  I know I felt some chemistry here, did you?
Now, start the application with 'rails server' and get to work!

Forum: Heterotic Beast – Topic: redirecting bug ??

Well, the first strange thing is that you’re running Rails 3.0.7. The Gemfile for the current version of Heterotic Beast calls for Rails 3.1.1.

I don’t know why, but something seems to be f%@#’d up with the Git repository on Golem. (Update: Fixed, now. Evidently, I can’t read instructions.)

Try using the one from GitHub instead

git clone git://github.com/distler/heterotic_beast.git

I also assume that you have successfully run

bundle exec rake app:bootstrap

If not, then nothing will work correctly.

I’ve just installed heterotic_beast on my ubuntu server. but It just redirect page many times.

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: Bugs

According to Frédéric, it’s a feature, not a bug. I could change \widehat{} (and its cousins) to wrap their output in an <mstyle displaystyle='true'>, but that might have unintended side-effects.

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: Bugs

Seems that I can so I have.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

Thanks.

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: Bugs

‘Cept it’s not a Firefox bug; it’s a Gecko Core (MathML Component) bug. As filed, no one relevant will see it. If you, as the Reporter of the bug, can reclassify it, maybe it will have a fighting chance of getting some attention.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

When there are style_additions then the surrounding <style> ... </style> appears to get escaped. I noticed this on a published web: in the source, it says:

<style type='text/css'>.newWikiWord { background-color: white; font-style: italic; }</style>

So presumably in line 31 of layouts/default.rhtml, which reads:

<%= "<style type='text/css'>#{@style_additions}</style>" if @style_additions %>

then there’s some HTML escaping going on that shouldn’t be.

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: Bugs

Done

(My word, but that’s a complicated form. “What did you do?” I looked at a MathML web page. “What happened?” It didn’t look right. “What should have happened?” It should have looked right.)

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: Bugs

Correct.

The accents work correctly when accenting an <mi> (see this old bug), but not when accenting an <mo>, unless the style is displaystyle.

Thus:

You should file a bug report.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

Errr … the pages table doesn’t have a revised_at field. It has an updated_at field. But this seems to get updated whenever the record gets changed. So if I start editing a page then the pages table gains a locked_by and a locked_at entry, and the updated_at entry is set to the same as the locked_at entry. Then when I cancel editing, the locked_at entry is set to NULL (the locked_by isn’t, though that’s probably not an issue) but the updated_at entry is left as it is. So the updated_at entry in the pages table does not necessarily point to the timestamp of the latest revision.

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: Bugs

This looks like a bug in how Firefox renders MathML, but I thought I’d check with you first. How do $\hat{\otimes }$ and ${\displaystyle \hat{\otimes }}$ look to you? To me, the first has the hat offset to the right. I presume that it shouldn’t be so.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

Ah, I’d better fix that first one then. I’ll keep the second in mind for next time this happens and choose my dates more precisely.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

1. If I simply remove a row from the revisions table, does instiki get confused?

The revised_at field in the pages table should match the revised_at field of the last revision of that page.

2. If the timestamps are a bit out of order, does instiki get confused? Or is the revision id the One True Order on the revisions table?

The history of a page is reconstructed by sorting on the revised_at date. The revision id is irrelevant to that.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

Just noticed that you got hit by the same spammer. I think that instiki.org also got hit, but then it’s hard to tell with that site anymore.

Seems as though this spammer has gone for every instiki installation under the sun!

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

The azimuth project just got a massive spam hit, 317 pages in total. To deal with that, I ended up working on the database level. What I did was to try to simulate “rollbacks”: copy the data from the last decent copy and paste it as a new row in the “revisions” table. That seemed the safest approach.

But it did get me thinking about the database and specifically the “revisions” table. Two questions:

1. If I simply remove a row from the revisions table, does instiki get confused?
2. If the timestamps are a bit out of order, does instiki get confused? Or is the revision id the One True Order on the revisions table?

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

Okay, I’ll take a look at that. Is it obvious which file to add it to, or should I create a new file and add it to the page template?

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

Sorry. There isn’t a way to localize the Javascript.

You could, however, add some site-wide Javascript, which attaches an event listener to some element(s), based on the request-URL.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: nlab

This isn’t nLab-specific, but it’s neither a bug nor a feature requestion: more of a “How do I?”.

There’s an effect that I’d like to put on a page (or a family of pages). It’s achievable in CSS using some fancy pseudo-classes, but some browsers don’t support it (notably mobile browsers) so I was pondering a javascript solution. Essentially, it would just modify some CSS properties of certain elements (selected by class) when a link was clicked upon.

The details aren’t particularly important. What I want to know is whether or not there is an easy way to add a bit of javascript to a page. I suppose it could be added to all pages, but then it would be better if it were only all pages in a particular web. Something a bit like the stylesheet tweaks, but for javascript.

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: Bugs

On another topic, is there any progress on cache bugs?

I’ll take a look, again, at file uploads.

For the other, you have not been able to present me with a set of steps to reproduce the bug. So there’s nothing that I can do.

The optional argument syntax for extensible arrows doesn’t swallow spaces correctly. If I type \xrightarrow [a]{b} then in LaTeX, this is equivalent to \xrightarrow[a]{b} because spaces are automatically swallowed after commands. However, in iTeX then they are not equivalent:

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

Thanks! That’s great.

On another topic, is there any progress on cache bugs? With the file uploading, then it doesn’t work at all. When I upload a file to a page then that page doesn’t get expired. We’re also seeing it with renaming pages on the nLab. We’re trying to keep a record of it in case it’s of use to you: http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Mathforge/nForum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3168

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

D’oh!

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

I just updated my course installation to the latest one, did the ruby bundle and touch tmp/restart.txt as well. Then I tried to edit the stylesheet and kept getting Internal Application Error. Here’s what the log said:

RuntimeError (Instiki could not create directory to store uploaded files. Please
 make sure that Instiki is allowed to create directory /home/stacey/current/others/instiki/webs/

There’s no reason why Instiki can’t create that directory, but I’m a bit at a loss as to why it is trying to do so.

I restarted the web server and got the same error.

Not terribly obscure at all. But it does highlight how overloaded the WikiLink mechanism is. Ugly as sin!

This is probably not the right fix. But it’s a fix.

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

New one for you. This one’s possibly the most obscure yet!

The wiki doesn’t like ampersands in file names; that is, in the [[file|filename :file]] syntax (or whatever the right syntax is). This feels a bit like a “my head hurts when I hit it with a hammer” bug! Obviously, no sane person would put an ampersand in a file name. I did so by accident and it threw “Internal application error” in my face. It was only by looking at the logs that I realised what I’d done. The logs have:
