Hi Ric,
Feedback on Mod_Dav
First thing first, thanks so much Ric for your help and your really good instructions on how to active this.
This is for anyone who may want to use the shared calendar function using Mozzila Thunderbird with the Lightning Plugin
Theses Settings follow on from Ric's instructions as above (Setup Uniform Server First)
Once you have installed Thunderbird and the Lightning Plugin select calendar from the bottom left and then:
1.in the left hand side panel under the default calender right click and select new calendar
2.select On My Computer
3.Type a Name
4.click next
5.now right click the calendar you have just made and select Export Calendar
6.save as type “iCalendar (*.ics)”
7.export the calendar to a location of your choice
8.then place the file in www/calendar
9.delete the calendar from the left hand side panel that you have just setup
ok that's the calendar now setup and now we are going to connect to the calendar over the network
1.open Thunderbird
2.go to the bottom left and select calender
3.in the left hand pane under the default calendar right click
4.select new calender
5.select on the network “leave as icalendar (ICS)” as default
6.location: http://YOURADDRESS/calendar/danny.ics
7.change display name to want you want and choose color
8.leave the email address as yourself
9.click next to finish
10.it will then ask for a Username & Password that you setup earlier
11.select remember this password
12.you can now right click and delete the default home calendar if you want
13.go to the top tool bar and select tools & options
14.go across to the right hand side and select Lightning
15.change refresh settings to every 1 minute
Now all your users are able to connect to the shared calendar across the network and have full access
Bugs I have found so far
1st
if 2 users input data at exactly the same time and exactly the same appointment date & time it will generate an error. To resolve this you will have to delete one of the calendars that is affected from the left hand side panel and set it up again – no data will be lost
2nd bug
if the users are using reminders and they pop up at the same time 5 minutes before the appointment and both users click snooze or remind me in 5 minuets this also can generate the same error
these are just a couple of things I have found so far not sure why this is happening but there you go!
Be on the safe side and hit reload at the top just before you input any data, and make sure that you have selected refresh setting every 1 minute.
I think this will only affect a busy office.
Cheers & Thanks Ric

Hi Guys, it’s been a while!!
I was just wondering if anyone has been able to do the following on Uniform Server:
(or might be able to help? Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this)
I would like to use Mozilla Thunderbird Calendar “Lightning” to share calendars between users but as I understand this is mainly done using Linux Server Platforms
This is what Mozilla say about it in the FAQ
How can I publish my events on a remote server?
You can create your calendar on a calendar server that supports CalDAV, or WCAP, or has a calendar data provider add-on.
CalDAV, WCAP, and some add-on protocols permit a calendaring client such as Sunbird or Lightning to tell the server to modify individual events, and the servers prevent or detect overwriting changes by two people or programs. When you subscribe to a calendar using these methods, changes you make are saved back to the server one event or task at a time.
You can also publish events from the calendar as a personal .ics file on an FTP server (Sunbird only) or a webDAV enabled web server. You can use the calendar to subscribe to these events as well. Since this method overwrites the entire file for each change, it is not for calendars modified by more than one person or program, nor for large calendars.
How can I serve my shared calendars?
One way is to store your calendar on a public calendar service. There are many; check with your email provider, or search the web. Some store only whole ics files modified by a single user, while others provide a service with a more robust calendaring protocol such as CalDAV (or WCAP), to better handle large calendars and changes by multiple users.
To serve shared calendars from your own server machine, the best way is to install a service specifically designed to manage calendars, typically using a protocol such as CalDAV, or WCAP. Both open source and commercially supported calendar service software packages are available.
If only one person or program will modify a small calendar, you can use a webDAV server. If you run your own web server, you can install mod_dav, a free Apache module that will turn your web server into a webDAV server. Instructions on how to set it up are on their website. Once you set up your webDAV server, you can publish your calendar to the site, then subscribe to it from any other Calendar. Automatically updating the calendar will give you a poor man's calendar server.
Now I already run Uniform Server in production so if there is a way to active this or any help or assistance I would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Danny

Try this and let me know
Personally I would remove everything out of the WWW Make a copy first
Make sure WWW is empty
Unzip Joomla inside WWW
Setup another database in PHPMyAdmin
Go to the other computer you want to control this from
Type in the ip address of the server http://192168.1.3 or wherever uniserver is installed
Setup and install Joomla from that machine – install sample data for testing
Leave all the default settings alone and try that
Just a thought are you trying to connect to the server using a Domain name or IP address?

Hi jgolf,
Delete the htaccess and tell what it does then
Danny
-
Hi jgolf,
Are you saying that you want to access this from another computer - Local?
No need to change the configuration.php file in Joomla
In the Root folder WWW Just change the htacess file from Deny Access From All to Allow Access From All or delete this file
Then go to your other computer open up your browser and type in http://the_ip_address_of_your_server/
That’s it – no need to change any files in Joomla
Danny
-
Hi hawkesley,
Do you still have the htaccess file in www.?
Danny

Hi nojiri,
I think this might be helpful to you. have used this myself about 150 times it's Brilliant
The best thing you can do is install JoomlaPack (Backup)
1) Download JoomlaPack2.x ZIP from here http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jpack/frs/ you will also need to download the Kickstart 2.1 ZIP
2) Install JoomlaPack Componant into your live site
3) Once installed go to, Components > JoomlaPack > Backup Now (leave all settings as default no need to change any settings) scroll to the bottom of the page and then hit Backup, once it starts backing up your site do not press anything or hit the back button wait until you see, Back up Successful
4) FTP Into your live site go to, administrator\components\com_joomlapack\backup and download your backup ZIP
5) Ok once downloaded go to the machine were you are going to setup the demo, create a database on Uniform Server and call it the same or anything you like
6) Place your backup ZIP folder inside your empty website folder along with the Kickstart ZIP, make sure there is nothing in there
7) Only extract the kickstart ZIP
8) Open your browser and go to your NEW website http://localhost
9) You will then see 3 files, Your backup zip, kickstart zip and your Kickstart.php click on Kickstart.php and follow the instructions on the screen
This will install a complete backup of your site and your database no need to do anything, all components will be installed as well
You now have a complete duplicate of your website you can demo
Hope this helps

Hi Punk...
Enlight me..If Uniform server is not installed as a service I use the Unicontroller
If Uniform is installed as a Service I use the Uninstall.bat & Install.bat
But that is my preference
and I have never had a problemDanny
-
Hi Punk
Firstly I think you need to upgrade you computer to XP SP3 and 1E7 or Firefox
Regarding your virtual host settings I always restart my services after every new Virtual host creation and it works without fail every time
But like I said install all the latest updates and try again

Hi Muhammad Imran Latif Alhussaini,
Mmmmmm, not sure if you should be using Olajideolaolorun’s GIF Image?
If you want to create Databases then you should download the full version of Uniform Sever

Hi cbs48,
Glad it worked - Just some more info for you, it might helpNow I presume that you have something like this http://192.168.1.1/joomla to access your site?
Have you got a .htaccess file in your www root folder ? if you have delete it or change to:
#Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
#Allow from 127.0.0.1
Now to make Joomla into an intranet login to the administrator Panel got to Site – Global Configuration, and select site offline and then save, this will now take your website offline to the general public from accessing it and also give you a login for your users, now for your users to login you need edit this code.
Joomla/include/application.php
1. // Find this line:
2. if ($this->getCfg('offline') && $user->get('gid') < '23' ) {
3. //Change it to:
4. if ($this->getCfg('offline') && $user->get('gid') < '18' ) {
Now all registered users can login to your intranet.
You might also want to adapt the look of the login page to your site.
Here we don't need to hack a thing, as we can use template overrides. Copy the file /templates/system/offline.php to /templates/[YOUR_TEMPLATE]/offline.php. It's plain HTML with some PHP tags, so you should have no problem editing it to your liking. Changing the graphics and some text will be sufficient for most people.
Hope that helps

Hi cbs48,

Hi Peter,
I have installed Firefox with Unitray and can’t see a problem, I noticed that it is fractionally slower but not really noticeable, have you tried uninstalling Firefox and re installing a complete new version

This has really giving me food for thought!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for your time help and effort on this issue the login works perfect.
I will now try and implement this into our system.

Hi Guys,
Now I wonder if anyone here can help me with this issue. I am running Joomla 1.5.7 & Vcalendar on Uniform Server.
Now in my Joomla website I have a login section were the member logs in and then a separate menu comes up with a link to Vcalendar
Now what I would like is when they click the link to Vcalendar they are automatically then logged into Vcalendar as there Username and Password are the same.
I contacted Vcalendar and this is what they said:
Hello Danny,Please create "UserID", "UserLogin" and "GroupID" session variables in any other page and you will be automatically logged in. In other words the fact that somebody is "logged in" means simply that those 3 session variables exist.
Best regards,
George
I have posted on Joomla Fourms and one Guy told me to try this Plugging & Module http://extensions.joomla.org/component/opt...,765/Itemid,35/
which I had no luck with
Now I am finding this really hard to get my head round
as I am not a programmer, and was just wondering if anyone would be able to help?Many thanks

Sorry dave521r,
Added to the last post have you got a firewall running?
-
Hi dave521r,
Make sure you have a Back Up of your work first.
1) Turn off your firewall and stop IIS from running
if no luck
2) Completely Uninstall IIS Services from windows XP (as this is easy to install again) reboot and Run Uniform Server again.
What's even worse, now after rebooting with iis server started I can not browse my files in the iis
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
Not quite sure dave521r why you are trying to run windows IIS alongside uniform server ?

Your welcome kalpz
Glad it worked

Hi Clowes,
Mmmmm, i feel for you but always make sure you back up your work!!
You could try something like this, UndeleteMyFiles 2.6 - not sure if it will work Clowes?
And make sure that you have got view hidden files turned on just in case!
if this doesn’t work maybe someone else might know
Danny

Hi kalpz,
Try This:This should work ok Kalpz just paste in all the code and restart the services:
NameVirtualHost * ##########VIRTUAL HOST SETUP########## # WWW.EZ-PC.CO.NZ <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.ez-pc.co.nz DocumentRoot /www/ezpc </VirtualHost> ##########VIRTUAL HOST SETUP########## # EZ-PC.CO.NZ <VirtualHost *> ServerName ez-pc.co.nz DocumentRoot /www/ezpc </VirtualHost> ##########VIRTUAL HOST SETUP########## # WWW.BUFFALOSTATS.HOPTO.ORG <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.buffalostats.hopto.org DocumentRoot /www/buffalostats </VirtualHost> ##########VIRTUAL HOST SETUP########## # BUFFALOSTATS.HOPTO.ORG <VirtualHost *> ServerName buffalostats.hopto.org DocumentRoot /www/buffalostats </VirtualHost>

Also if you are running Windows 2003 make sure the local Intranet / Website is not running in IIS, if it is stop it and uniform server will run fine

Hi joejac
Is the file in this path
"\usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt.exe" If not you could have an unsuccessful download where some files are missing, this has happen to me before, try to download the file again, if you are using a download manager stop that and download the file as normal with windows, I know my Bit Comet causes problemsOr just copy the whole Uniform Server of your XP Machine and try and run that and see if that works, or what problems it produces.

Upgrading to Nano problem
in Uniform Server - Windows
Posted
Hi Guys :angry:
I have a strange problem occurring here with trying to upgrade to uniform server
5.6.6 Nano
I use Joomla Pack now “AKEEBA BACKUP” for all our Joomla sites, some on Cpanel & some sites on Uniform Server Mona 4.0
Joomla Pack takes a remote backup of the complete websites and databases and I can re install them on any Cpanel and Uniform Server Mona 4.0 but when trying to re install them on 5.6.6 Nano everything installs correctly and the sites run but all the website menus do not display and if you log into the back end the menus are listed but when you click on any menu say “Main Menu” the listings are missing
Even If I don’t use Joomla Pack and just backup the database and import into Nano I have the same results
Am I missing something really silly here?
Any suggestions would be great
Danny
