SYSMGR: 26-Jul-2005

SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

Pivot installed
There was a small time slice left, in which the PIVOT non-DB content management system could be installed on Diana, under the (protected) home web. It required some hacking with directtoy names and logicals but now it can be started.
However, it' not yet working. The primary screen shows up but then the application crashes and gives a nice error screen:

Might be the double dot in filename default_theme (dot) inc (dot) php? There has been trouble before withis this feature that Apache 1.3 cannot handle. Wait for 2.1 that should be out in a few weeks (and allows non-STREAM_LF files), or chance all filesnames AND their references. That is quite a lot of work, probably. On the other hand, it may be worthwhile.
Funnt part: the zip, as retrieved from the internet, seems to be built on Windows, given the way EDIT shows the content: ending on each line, so it can be done on Windows.
