First off, thank you for this great .pup.

I am using it to run Ampache (http://www.ampache.org) on PuppyLinux.

Two requests for version 0.5:

1. Upgrade MySql client:
The PHP included exhibits the 'old password' problem where the linked mysqlclient library expects pre-Mysql 4.1 style passwords. But the MySql included uses new passwords by default.

This means, among other things, that phpmyadmin fails if you set a password on the MySql admin ('root') user.

Details here:

2. Compile PHP with iconv support
The included PHP does not have the iconv extension needed for proper handling of unicode and charset translation. This would be very handy!

Thanks!

Hi, J,

Welcome to Puppy! You seem to know how to handle this. Costal has been silent since, and we will appreciate your reactivating this very interesting package. Smile

Cheers!

Edit: Here is the Puppy compiling environment: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Compiling

Hi,
Has anyone tried installing webenv on puppy 2.02? Nothing works since it fails the "losetup-FULL" command (at the beggining of the rc.webenv script).

I made some changes to webenv 0.4, and call it 0.5, as it is unmaintained.

Note:
I will NOT maintain this dotpup, so feel free to modify/enhance it on your own.
I also will not answer questions concerning PHP/MySQL and such, as that was my job some years ago Wink

I only made this change:
I installed the old webenv 0.4 in Puppy 109 to get the files in the squashfs, as I could not mount it in Puppy2. Then made a new dotpup of these extracted files.
This dotpup works in Puppy 2 ONLY, do NOT install it in Puppy 1, it could break things Exclamation

It now is a "normal" program, without "inbuilt" squashfs.
It needs 15 MB.

You can start/stop the servers by typing "webenv" (or from the dotpups-menu, but then you don't see the messages).

Download (4.4 MB):

Note:
if you want to stop it automatically when Puppy shuts down, edit the scripts in /etc/webenv, I had no time yet to adapt them.

Thanks, MU. I realize now that there is one little detail that caused problems in the past for me, the htaccess in one of my subdirectories. Will retry this package.

So it is for 2+ Puppy now, but could you please clarify this:

MU · Posted: Sat 02 Sep 2006, 19:46 Post subject:

ok, clarified Wink

It actually only won't work in Puppy 1, as it extracts files to /etc.
As /etc is a symlink in Puppy1, that can crash Puppy 1 due to bugs in the old unionfs, when extracting archives.
This could be changed of course, there is no real need to have them in /etc.

But in Puppy1 you still can use webenv 0.4, as it is identical concerning the "features", so I saw no need to start changing the directory structure.
As the start/stop scripts of Puppy 1 and 2 differ, I prefered to make a different dotpup from scratch, to avoid potential problems.
Costal had used a quite tricky script, to go around these problems in Puppy1, but right this part (inbuilt squashfs/unionfs) I had to remove, in order to get it working in Puppy2.

seems to be a bug in the network-code of lighttpd with Kernel 2.6.
Compiled two newer versions, same problem.
See /root/www/log/lighttpd.error.log

I found only this reference:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/328

I don't understand the code enough to fix it myself Crying or Very sad
