how about adding vericode to kareha for anti-spambot? Also I noticed that alot of ppl on iichan are ID:Heaven who aren't mods or anything. BTW, is the 2ch script available anywhere? I've seen derivatives, but not the actual script that they use themselves. THX & GJ.

perhaps you can help me with this too. Everything ok i think, mysql, apache, mod_perl, perl, perlmagick and imagemagick (all latest versions). I get the following:

Software Error:
Can't call method "prepare" on unblessed reference at (eval 5) line 1497. thx

I already added vericodes to kareha in the latest version. They're not turned on on iichan though except in http://iichan.net/kare/.

ID:Heaven is given to anyone who puts in an email address. I copied that behaviour directly from futaba, and I'm not quite sure what the justfication is, but that's how it works for now. It can be set to always show an ID if one prefers.

And no, I haven't been able to find the 2ch script. I'm not sure if it's available or not.

And finally, which version of which script is that for? A quick guess would be that there might not be a DBD driver for mysql installed.

OK I get it. Its fixed, you were right, database config was messed up. I reinstalled DBI and the DBD mysql driver it fixed that. Still getting some errors though. Have to check somemore stuff first. thx.

Heres where I am stuck, with kareha, I put it in a directory and it works fine, the problem is i get the index.html file 2 directory in front of where it should go. ie, apache2/htdocs/kareha/kareha.pl then index.html is written in the apache2 directory for some reason. The script forwards me to the index.html in the kareha directory, but its not there.

With wakaba, I have the problem that the stuff in the config.pl is completely ignored by wakaba.pl. All the 'use constents' seem to not be recognized, because I get a ton of 'bareword not allowed' unless I paste the contents of config.pl into wakaba.pl. Even then it seems forwards to wakaba.html, except I can't find that file anywhere.

I'll try a fresh install of everything since I have some other utils I need to install too. its a cool script, now to get it working o_O

That's a problem I haven't heard of before... It seems a bit like the web server starts the script but sets the working directory wrong. Very mysterious.

how about having the vericode refresh when you change the style so the colors match?

It'd be more work than it was worth, I thought. I'd have to scan through the document and change all the URLs.

i did it on http://hotaru.freelinuxhost.com/k/ ...
it only took one line of javascript...

Quite a line, though.

But I might just steal that.

fixed with reinstall of everything. I was going to update apache anyway. No clue what was going on before though. Problems with wakaba were due to misconfigured mod_perl stuff in httpd.conf. thx.

just a note, neither script works with mod_perl, I disabled it. On a seperate windows test box, I get kareha working, but wakaba seems to work, but doesn't generate wakaba.html (it forwards to it, but the file is nowhere to be found) any clue to debug? thx.

Hmm. If the script can't write the file, it should throw an error. Might the working directory end up wrong so the file gets written somewhere else entirely?

Try putting in a make_error(glob("*")); near the start of the script to show a list of the files it sees in the current directory, maybe?

when I do that I get:
captcha.pl
Software error:
Can't call method "disconnect" on unblessed reference at /wakaba.pl line 1197.

I also tried searching for wakaba.html, but didn't find it it. mysterious, I am going to put in more debug stuff and see if i can't figure it out.

i've gotten the "Can't call method "disconnect" on unblessed reference" error before... checking to make sure the sql stuff in config.pl is correct and your sql server is up might help... that solved the problem for me...

yuppers, that was it. thx.

what ver. of image magick do I need? I am using 6.1.0 Q16 dll windows version. Convert does run, but I get no thumbnail just a broken picture. The big image is upload OK though.

I've used the static Q8 version. Q16 just wastes memory, and the DLL version might not find its DLLs.

Maybe I should add a note about that to the docs.

I also wonder why the script doesn't notice an incorrect SQL setup and throw a proper S_SQLCONF error such as we've come to know and love from 4chan.

No, wait, I don't wonder why, I know exactly why. Because it tries to close the database connection that was never opened when it throws the error. Sigh. Gotta fix that.

OK, i installed static 6.1.1 Q8 and it crashes when I run convert :(. I then installed 6.1.1 Q16 and it works if I type in 'convert -resize 200x200 a.jpg as.jpg', and when wakaba runs it doesn't crash.

Now, in the wakaba dir, there are 2 files '&1' which is 0 bytes and '2' which is the thumbnailed image minus .jpg extension. I assume these are temp files that didn't get deleted. Anyway, the /src and /res dirs have the correct stuff, but I'm guessing the '2' file didn't get renamed and put in /thumb and that '1' and '&2' didn't get deleted for some reason.
Wierd stuff, but looking at the managment stuff, this is so much nicer than futaba's admin functionality.

Hmm, those come from the command line used for convert, and are obviously not being parsed right. Try searching the source for "2>&1", and just remove it. I think it should work without that too. What exactly are you running on?

Actually I don't even know why I have that in there. I'll probably remove it myself in the next release. Just kill it and see if things work better.

yeah that was it. Works 100% now on win98 and linux with the above fixes. thx alot.

All right. So out of curiousity, where are you running this?
