I wanted to post something here about a problem I've recently encountered, in case it might save someone else some time, as well as see if anyone's come up with a clever solution.
I'd set up an inlinepush on a new server that had already been successfully configured with APE. Everything seemed to be working fine: other APE events were responding properly and the inline push command was correctly configured and being called properly. When I pasted the vardump of the inlinepush command into a browser, I got back "OK" -- no errors. Everything was working flawlessly on my local dev installation. Yet, on this production server it just seemed to refuse to send the command to APE. I chased my tail for an hour or so (checking and double-checking how everything was being formed, etc) until I happened to check the error log. Turns out the server on which I was trying to set up the process had "allow_url_fopen" set to "Off" in the php.ini. As such, it was throwing an error when I was using "file_get_contents" to send the APE command, as, with that configuration, there was no wrapper for "http", including a local URL (like "http://local.ape-project.org:6969/"; for example). The only way I could get it to work was to change "allow_url_fopen" to "On" and thus leave myself open to possible injection and other xss. Let that be a lesson to me to always check the error log first (duh, I know) and to check the php.ini if the inlinepush commands that are working find on your dev environment won't work on your production server. While this is a decent temporary patch it's no workable solution so I figured I'd toss it out here and see if anyone has any thoughts on more permanent method for resolving it. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "APE Project" group.
