@Charles Roth @Nathan Smith @Bob Mottram I am putting you on ignore/archive here as we are successfully reconnected at friend.elsmussols.

@Friendica Support And so the troubleshooting begins. I think there's a PHP problem of some kind as I am getting white screen for network.

Also note the following output.

root@pendle:/var/www# php include/poller.php
PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/lock/friendica/poller.lck.pid): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/include/pidfile.php on line 18



Though recognizable polling stuff happens.

PHP debug lines?

Thomas, I've just done a git pull and view/smarty3 was updated. so I'm sure if there was a problem there it isn't now.

mod_rewrite is definitely on:

root@pendle:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# ls -al | grep rewrite
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jan 15 13:18 rewrite.load -> ../mods-available/rewrite.load



.htaccess is a copy of the one from the previous server, so I'm also thinking that would also be unproblematic.

@Charles Roth I have noted those lines but haven't implemented them yet as the git pull cured all my white screens. I'm thinking that possibly there were some permission issues from the constant tarring and untarring of /var/www as I've server hopped and these have been cured by file replacement. Here's hoping...

Glad to see you've taken the plunge :-)

This is my my backup account. I have my own instance now, so please connect to me in this place.

Those paying attention will have noticed that I've been winding this account down. My connectees here should now consider this account dormant and essentially my backup. If you have any interest in what I have to say, please connect with me elsewhere.

@Randal Matheny This account dead or just sleeping? I have a more recent you (on myfriendica.net) at my new place.

We are back :-) Nice one Thomas.

As I transfer over, I am putting my new connectees on ignore here...

#friendshostfriends is a new tag to use if you have your own Friendica site and want to offer your friends some space on it. Make sure your friends from #diaspora and #facebook know that they are welcome.

#friendshelpbuild is even better. Let your friends know that you would be happy to help them get their own #friendica sites up and running.

I am in #dualposting mode for a short time. I will be mainly here (kakste.com) but also on my new instance (friend.elsmussols.net) until I have time to sort everything out. The instance is a work project and the folks paying the bills get priority on getting their stuff sorted out before my stuff. Then I'll transition properly, so @Arto: don't put me on ignore or into archive just yet.

@Manolo Martínez That seems to have worked...

@Friendica Support I'm doing my ~f install today. Downloaded zipball, added addons into the correct directory as "addon". My "Friendica Social Communications Server - Setup | System check" page has green lights all the way (including mod_rewrite enabled). So I hit the next button and get:

Not Found

The requested URL /install was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at friend.elsmussols.net Port 80


There is no install file, though I do have /mod/install.php.

Suggestions please.

Wouldn't a better option be the ability "redirect" a contact to a new home, either with a setting on the old server, and/or by editing the contact?

Ideally, this should only be changed in one place, and would then propagate throughout the network. Why make work for every subscriber, especially if they're 100,000+ fans of a contact? But the ability to edit a contact and say "he's now located here, and uses this public key" is important too.

i know.. it's annoying. all the parties have to go find the new person, and vice versa. i tried being as informative as possible to make it easier on people.

The 21st century has arrived at #elsmussols, we now have wireless capability (not that we'll use it much, but the capability is important). Thanks to Peter for the donation of a wifi router.

Exactly. Wired is much more energy efficient (do you know how much power a wireless card sucks?) and will therefore be the default, but having the option for guests is a must. There is another good by-product: I don't have to trail cables out of the window anymore when we have sunny evenings and we want to sit out on the platform and have a laptop nearby.

A lot of the bikers use smartphones for GPS to save weight (multi-purpose gadget). There isn't usually a wired solution for that. Problem is that I used to go somewhere, my GPS loaded with tracks from a single source - and discover that the source was a person with completely different tastes to my own. But in the old days, I was usually unable to find and download new tracks at my destination.

The Pakistani shop in Tortosa has reopened and we have six months' worth of tea in now. #endofworldpostponed

Still doesn't work. I could send you afriend request, of course, but then the problem wouldn't be fixed and you'll probably get the same with others over and over again.

If you enter
curl https://friendika.zottel.net
on your host, you should see the html delivered by my server. If that works, SSL is not the problem.

I will send you a friend reuqest if you want, of course, but I'd also help debugging, in which case it wouldn't make sense if I sent you one. ;-) If you want that, anyway, just say so, and I will.

He knows, there's been discussion about it before.

You get deleted from the global directory after you can't be pinged for so many days, but it seems you never get deleted from contact lists.

Yop, but I think one could send a signed message to all contacts that the account got deleted. As its signed with your own private key nobody could "fake"delete your account (as long as your key isn't compromised)..

There are songs which are consistently dismissed as trivial pop. I've just heard this messed about with in a #SolidSteel podcast and twenty five years later this still gives me chills:


Althea and Donna - Uptown Top Ranking by KIOS47 on YouTube

They were 17 and 18 when they did this...

I've heard good things about #qmail, DJB seems a maverick of the right sort. Once I work my way through the howto, I'll look at toughening up the spam stuff. Thanks David.

WorksHere ™

oh, and my BOSH isn't working in standalone any more - or didn't yesterday - and i had to re-enable the proxy. *SIGH*. dunno why. it just stopped working. prosody got an update to mod_bosh, so i'm going to try disabling the proxy with the new bosh module.

TinyMCE has been updated since the OP (or at least, since the last time I used it). If it works for everyone else, it should work here now too.

@Lee, just mindboggling as in requiring a lot of caffeine and sugar. The problems we were having were...you could see exactly what was going wrong, but couldn't quite put it into words, nevermind a few lines of code. One of those intuitively obvious things that was hard to pinpoint.

Hang around a bit, and the next time it breaks you'll see what I mean.

@Friendica Day By Friendica Day 2012 I will have a new instance online (the actual deadline is 01 May 2012). It will be initially for #elsmussols folk and the staff and volunteers of an eco-charity I am doing some web work for. We'll see how we manage with that for a couple of months and if I have excess capacity, it will become public. Now back to email config...

This isn't a problem with requests, sending another won't make a difference. It's timing out because his computer is switched off (assuming you're trying to the homelinux.net account). You just have to keep trying until it's turned on - it took me a few days to accept too.
