Re: [Server-devel] wwwoffle?

2011-01-22 Thread Martin Langhoff
Hi Dan!

Welcome to the jungle! I'm in the middle of prepping an XS release,
and yes, wwwoffle would be a nice thing to include.

If you search the list archives (google for
'site:lists.laptop.org/pipermail/server-devel wwwoffle') Anna has
written a bit of a howto and was keep on working towards making it a
script to run. She's interested in this as well, maybe you can
collaborate?

Another really interesting project would be to hop over to the
httpd-crcsync list, and offer a hand with it. Background:
wiki.laptop.org/go/Apache_Proxy_CRCsync . Alex tells me it's ready to
be packaged, so that's step one, with a couple of sample configs
inclded as documentation. And we'd need a script that sets it up as
downstream server, and another one for the upstream server. And
probably a few more things I'm not thinking of right now ;-)

cheers,

 Hi.

 I'm jumping in with my feet into the XS server environment; I'd like to
 help out where needed.

 I found the doc http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Project_Ideas which is
 rather dated, but mentions the need for wwwoffle. I'm wondering if
 that's still a felt need where I could lend a hand, or if there's a
 different area I could focus?

 Thanks!

Welcome! Glad that you're installing an XS. Let me see if I can help...

 [root@schoolserver]# ejabberctl status
 Mode ejabberd@schoolserver is started Status : Started
 ejabberd is running

 [root@schoolserver]# ejabberctl register admin schoolserver.pak.org password


 cant register user ad...@schoolserver.pak.org at
 node ejabberd@schoolserver : not_allowed

Interesting. What does `hostname -f` say on that server? Also, can you
tell us more about what you want an 'admin' account for?

cheers,

Wasn't me!  I tried to get it to work the other day on my test server, but
ran into an issue because port 8080 is already being used by Jabber's
http-bind.  (I've got MUCkl so folks can chat when all they have is web
access.  And do cool things like chat from a Kindle.)

 Ah true, it was Andra! I'm all mixed up...
 
 
Yes... it was me. I input the  WWWOFFLE for unreliable or intermittent 
internet connections section of the XS Techniques and Configuration. I am 
running wwwoffle on an XS in Kenya, and it is helping out a lot. In fact, we 
have loaded up a ton of educational site pages to the XS while on high speed 
connection, and all this material is available to the students even when the XS 
is offline, which is most of the time. We have created courses in Moodle where 
the topics are groupings of educational categories, and each educational site 
is add to the topic as a link to a website resource.

As you can tell from the method I used, it is a manual process, and Martin has 
asked me to work on making it a little more integral to the build, so that a 
script can take care of switching between Squid and wwwoffle for instance.

I have not had the time to develop this yet, and will be going back to Kenya 
soon. I hope to carve out some time soon, but if you want to jump in, that 
would be great.
