Keyword(s): post max file size upload php ini form

Problem:

Uploading a file redirects you to the login page.

Solution:

The POST'd data exceeds "post_max_size" in php.ini. The FORM encoding used by the browser can significantly increase the file size, sometimes by more than double. Set this to at least 50% more then "upload_max_size".

Version(s): 1.0.5 > CVS
Keyword(s): fatal call mcrypt module libmcrypt

Problem:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mcrypt_module_open()

Solution:

The mcrypt module is either not installed or is broken. Please take one of the following solutions:

Recompile php4 with mcrypt support enabled.

Dowload the latest version of WeebleFM (which at the time of this writing would be beta 2002-04-14). Verisons after 1.1 have an option to disable mcrypt.

Version(s): 1.0.5 > CVS
Keyword(s): mcrypt libmcrypt module

Problem:

Warning: No algorithms found in module dir...

Solution:

MCrypt is unable to find any encryption modules in the default path. Check the following settings:

Check the value of mcrypt.algorithms_dir= in php.ini. This should be set to the directory where libmcrypt resides.

The fucntion can be modified to explicitly state the directory. e.g. mcrypt_list_algorithms ("/usr/local/lib/libmcrypt"); [assuming that is where your mcrypt library resides.]

Dowload the latest version of WeebleFM (which at the time of this writing would be beta 2002-04-14). Verisons after 1.1 have an option to disable mcrypt.

Version(s): BETA-2002-04-30 > CVS
Keyword(s): subnet mask access weeblefm

Problem:

Access denied by WeebleFM configuration.

Solution:

If you are using "255.255.255.255" as the subnet mask for any of your access list entries, try changing them to "/32".
If this doesn't correct it, double-check your $ftp_access_list and $ftp_access variables in settings.php.

Earlier releases of php (pre 4.0.6) do not properly convert "255.255.255.255" to an integer. "/xx" style masks are handled differently in WeebleFM and are not subject to this bug.

Additional Information:

php-version:

php4 < 4.0.6

Keyword(s): winnt WinNT winxp WinXP win2k Win2k windows session save path

Problem:

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_xxxx, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in C:\path\to\weeblefm\check_login.php on line 46

Solution:

This error is caused by having session.save_path= set to a directory that is either non-existant or not writable by the web server.

Changing session.save_path= to a valid directory should correct the problem.

Additional Information:

Misc:

This is especially a problem on Win32 systems where the default setting of "/tmp" is not a valid directory.

Keyword(s): ftp empty list blank

Problem:

Logging in and file functions work but no file listing is returned.

Solution:

This may be an issue with non-standard ftp servers. Some ftp servers do not return a file listing to php's ftp_* functions.

Keyword(s): login user pass corrupt garbage cookie

Problem:

My user's login cookie(s) have become corrupt.

Solution:

Either the value of $key or the encryption algorithm (See $pref_ciphers in the Manual) has changed. Re-type the correct username & password and ensure that Rememer Me is checked, to save the new login cookie.

Keyword(s): SSH ssh SFTP sftp tunnel bridge secure

Problem:

Does WeebleFM support SFTP?

Solution:

The short answer to this no.
SFTP requires a special client that is SFTP aware. WeebleFM currently uses php4's built-in FTP functions (which are not SFTP aware).
Using an FTP -> SFTP bridge (or proxy) to 'tunnel' the FTP connection should work fine.

Version(s): 1.2
Keyword(s): view search bug multiple word

Problem:

The viewer's search feature will not find multiple words. Single words work fine. terms work fine.

Solution:

This is due to a limitation in php4 versions previous to 4.0.5.
In PHP 4.0.5 and later, the viewer's search feature will highlight each individual word typed. In versions earlier than 4.0.5, only the whole phrase typed into the search box is highlighted.

Keyword(s): back button refresh browser

Problem:

The Back button on my browser takes me back to the login screen.

Solution:

This is, unfortunately, working as designed. Don't use the back button. If you're trying to go back to the previous directory, use the 'Up One Dir' link near the top of the file listing.

Version(s): 1.0 > BETA-2002-04-30
Keyword(s): beta display css square rectangle ie mac

Problem:

File listing dislays as a large purple box on Mac IE v5.1.

Solution:

Upgrade to version BETA-2002-04-30 or later.

Additional Information:

Cause:

The Mac version of IE 5 doesn't seem to be able to handle lines that are in excess of about 950 characters. It was prematurely truncating the lines causing a good number of display issues.

Resolution:

We added a number of new lines into the output to prevent lines from exceeding an unreasonable length.

Version(s): 1.0 > BETA-2002-04-30
Keyword(s): escape esc \ quote " ' beta

Problem:

On some systems quotes were being escaped (backslashes "\" were being added).

Solution:

This is due to magic_quotes_gpc = on being set in php.ini. Either set this to off or upgrade to version BETA-2002-04-30 or later.
