installasion problem - how to ?
 

hi,

i download last v3 code.
i upload all files into my ftp with ftpclient.

i run install\index.php but give me error

i cant install it.
plz help.


how to install? :wallbash:

lol
 

looks like your trying to install on free hosting good luck lol
also looks like permissions error on some files


get a vps you will have a success

got no chance of installing it on a freehost man

get a vps or dedi or your wasting your time

Simple fix
 

I'm assuming you haven't got a clue so bare with me.
Providing you have the ability to chmod the problem is easily fixed so you can install on a freehost under that circumstance.

Firstly, open the readme.txt that came with the source and chmod 0777 the required directories that are clearly outlined in the readme.txt..If you don't know what that is or how to do it either give up now or go and read. The install assumes your path to be /var/www. If this is not your path the easy way out is to not use the installer. Its not necessary to use the installer all info can be added manually.Move the u232 files to your root directory. Example /var/www.

The install.sql is located in the /install/extras directory. Create your database in phpmyadmin. For the sake of this guide call the database u32. Then delete the install folder from your root directory. Go to the include directory and open the config.php file and add your database name and password and your database name (u32)

In order to login you will need to add your cookie info. You also need to configure the rest of your tracker details (ie) sitename, email, announce etc. All found in the config.php. Now goto the signup page and create the sysop account by signing up.

Don't click on the staffpanel until you edit the staff_settings2.php found here cache/staff_settings2.php. Open it and replace the word 'system' with the name you just used to create your sysop account.

Thats pretty much it. This code is not for the beginner so unless you have some idea whats going on don't bother.

memcache
 

so where does the memcache install come into it??

this is hy you cant install on free host harry

Free Hosts
 

Well here is one for starters http://opentracker.comuv.com that supports memcached.
Perhaps his account does l really don't know but yeah it can be installed on a freehost.

what?
 

Your link is to a directory so I would not get hosting there, no checkout button, just a couple folders. And getting memache added to a free hosting provider would be interesting seeing how there is no way they are going to set you up with shell access on a server with a couple hundred other free hosting customers.

Huh?
 

Why would you need a shell? It would be just added to the service panel like any other service is so you can stop and start it as needed

uhhmmmm ......No
 

Even in windows it has to be installed through the cmd window so tell me how are you going to add memcache to a server with out installing it?

lol
 

i thought same D thats why i mentioned it i dont know any host what has this enabled also due to the fact with web hosting you only get around 64mb ram so wheres the memcache ram going to be but hey i know little unless theres a new way i dont know about maybe wrong

well the way I see it.....
 

There is a couple issues as I see it, even with ioncube your going to have to restart apache, pretty sure you will on memcache, not sure how well they will like you restarting everyone else along with you.
Next issue I see is I am not sure what kind of control panel he gets with free web hosting, but even a cpanel host with shared hosting wont get you shell access or a way to restart apache.
Next the file has to be registered with the php.ini if the extension is not added to the php.ini then it simply will not work. You have not told php to look for or execute that extension. Again not sure what panel you have but on free and even shared your not going to have the ability to go in and change the php extensions. You can view them, but it will tell you that they are provided for your information and can only be edited or changed by the root user.
Theres a little more involved then throwing the dll in a folder and saying its installed, even for shoutcast as simple as it is it requires at least enough access to start the shoutcast server, something else they aren't going to let you do on free hosting.
These boards are filled with issues that most of the time can be traced back to free hosting, and to be brutally honest, as cheap as hosting is anymore there is no reason to not get what you want up front rather then all the dicking around after the fact.

lol
 

Why would l have to install it when its already installed on the free host? Hence the term "supported". So you login to a control panel of some sort and stop and start the service as needed. Pretty simple l would have thought.

Here is a little reading.

http://code.google.com/p/memcached/w...iple_Instances

lets trade pics.....

This is a pic of one of my web sharing plans I offer, now if you can point it out to me so I can learn how to stop or start any service, and keep in mind that this is a little higher up on the food chain then free hosting. Free hosting and shared hosting are not going to let YOU decide what services are run on the server you are sharing with 100 other people. What if one of them decides they don't want memcache using all the resources and its interfering with them sharing Grandma's cookie recipe and shuts the service off?

hehe
 

Your missing the point. Thats what you offer, you can configure any panel to allow what ever service you want. Go and read the support files for your panel. The information on how to do it is there......Besides you can run a simple php script to flush the cache so really there is no need to restart the service.

sorry m8
 

Have to disagree with you on this one.

You can not and would not allow any single user to have access to restarting server services where so many would be affected.

I should the pic show me which icon to allow me to do that.

Flushingthe cache is not restarting apache, no more then pressing cntrl f5 is restarting firefox, it just flushes the cache, it doesn't restart anything.

As far as adding menu items from whm to cpanel I used this particular account because it does not have root access, and whm would be real fast to point out that you can not provide root access to an account that does not have it.

Now my man X360zone wrote a nice tutorial explaining how to install, and start memchache which you can read here

And some idiot wrote one even on how to install it on localhost in windows and zampp, you can read it here

Now in both situations (Windows and CentOS) your going to have to deal wiuth a command prompt, simple as that, and a command prompt is available through a server by shell access, So if you know a better way to install memchache with out shell access please step by step us, so we can go edit our posts in tutorials.

And I still want to see this control panel you have if its that much better then cpanel then I will be switching.

:muscle: Omg did you read what l posted about memcached. The service would be installed multiple times giving each user the ability to restart the service. You can do the same with apache...Your flogging a dead horse. I don't want to argue with you about it. I'm just saying in theory and given the right environment on a free host this source can be installed.

Furthermore, if you read my reply to the original poster l referred to him having the ability to access and preform chmod. If he don't have that well then his fubar.

Incidentally, I don't have a control panel lol, Why would l need it when l do everything l need to do from a shell on my desktop? Also in my humble opinion centOS is a basket case. Stick with something that works l say.....

lets do some hardware....
 

No m8 its your not understanding the principles involved here.
Its not a software issue its simply a hardware issue. Maybe you found a place that when you get a 2gb web space you get your own box, and maybe even your own hard drive, but the truth to it is this simple, the box has 1 operating system on it, the services are installed to the OS, not separate partitions an a hard drive. No more then I can say that I do not want services on my computer to not run on my external hard drive but only my internal hard drive and then only on the partitions I decide. We don;t have that ability.
ANY service is an addition to the OS, not the partition that freemenow webserver is providing you on 2gb of space and not the next 2gb of space for the next guy. Suppose I am running a shoutcast server on the next partition, and I do not like that your using to many resources interfering with my midnight to 6am rap festival, your saying I can go into my control panel and simply turn off that reasource for the server? We have determined already that it is not a partition exclusive service so I want all the reasources for my rap festival so I am going to make them available to me. Now if I am wrong then cool I have no problems with being wrong, so as I suggested, give us a step by step on how to install it with no shell access, or if its already installed and controlable through a freeserver host then simply link me, I got to see this.

OMG I'm not going to quantify that with a response. You have no idea what your talking about. This discussion ends here. Its getting embarrassing.

cheers

yeah
 

your right, I am a new n00b,
Only been at it since 1975, thats way before Al Gore invented the internet, we were using it in the military. I am a coder, started of programing in HEX and ASCII. I was around when the original scene group started (DOD out of Russia), and I own a hosting company, been doing it longer then you been breathing air. So teach me!
Either back up your claims with any kind of proof as I have or stop misleading the guy that posted this thread.

I asked for step by step you ignored it, I asked for a link to this hosting company you ignored it to. So now tell me who should be indignant.:wallbash:

Let this be my final sound ;op
 

You are a total and complete tool. Coder are you, what have you coded exactly? Secondly, what proof have you supplied? For starters, l never asked for any. A snapshot of your nOOb panel isn't proof of your in depth knowledge and understanding of anything anything. Read the support documents within your panel or do what noobs like you do and contact your hosting company for the how to.

Thirdly, any half wit that reads this thread will see you got right of track and went way beyond the actual discussion. You refer to me as having a free host. Where did l say in any of this thread l had a free host?. I merely pointed you to the host the original starter of this thread uses. You are welcome to PM him and get educated.

What part of multi install Mr Coder don't you understand? Did you read the link l posted to memcached which l might add is written by creditable coders.

I don't need to provide proof because in theory what l say is possible given the right environment. An educated user will see this. Being a web host is is about as stimulatory as injecting a hard stool from your ass. Any clown can do it from a control panel.

You posted links to a tutorial you claim the other guy involved in this discussion wrote. Its clearly been stolen from another creditable site. At least he actually referenced this appropriately.

I have had a number of responses from this topic that indicate from people here that you have little or no creditability.

Stop taking rubbish and trying to come across as a person who has even the slightest clue as to what is being discussed. Not only have l installed this code many times, but l have modified it and shared it with others. I have installed memcached a million times across multi platforms and unlike you nOOb l don't use windows and l don't need google for the how too.

All l did was answer the guys original question that went against what one of your mods said. Grow up everyone is entitled to to an opinion and you are most certainly entitled to mine.

Lastly, you say l mislead this guy? Well l guess his success is your undoing. Again you are welcome to pm him.

cheers

what a n00b
 

Look son...
I have forgotten more about computers programing, code, servers,k etc then you will ever know.

next I never claimed a damn thing, thats your bid for glory.

I asked 4 times for you to show us all how YOU install memcache with no access and you instead wanted to get defensive.

Now unless something radical has happened to these boards the main idea of sharing tip, tricks, knowledge, scripts, code advice etc is what its for. Not for you to come here and show your ass.

As far as me being popular here I don't give a rat's ass. My servers run great, my codes, sites, etc run great, everything that I do on them works. I come here to learn, to share and to help others. I contribute to the forums with my thoughts, but never claimed they were the holy grail for code, servers or anything else. You come here and want to start something that you can not support, can not back up and when asked for further details turn it into a pissing contest.

So take your little MAC server running localhost, and your little p2p tracker that's probably running the original tbdev so you can upload to yourself, and stick it clown.

You have offered no advice, no proof, no anything except a willingness to jump on others for having a different way of doing things then you do, now we all share how and why we do things the way we do, and we are there to support our methods, not get into this huge pissing contest and not able to back what we say for our methods.
DO we reference outside sources..duhhh look though the entire board this whole place is referenced from outside sources.
The funny part about this is you offer no help no assistance no methods, and complain about long accepted practices that have been used successfully and tweaked and modded and SHARED!! You offer one of those.
All I have seen you offer is a different opinion, and while I do not accept your opinion I respect your right to have that different opinion, but out of the 2 of us one is asking for your methods to maybe learn another way, instead all you have managed to do is wreck the thread, and flame not only me, but X360zone as well.
So now we have shared our methods so that others can try or learn, and I spend more time reading here then I ever will writing, you might want to give that a try, there is some amazing talent here that have no problem going in and explaining to a line level what they are talking about. And that's getting to be an issue on these boards anymore, any keyboard rambo wants to dive in like they have a clue, thinking they are big time when they are hosting a out of the box point and click tracker on a freehost, So you wish to keep flaming and making wild ass statements that you refuse to back up, then my friend you have clearly shown that you are the one lacking in skills, education, knowledge and mostly the idea of these boards which is sharing, helping, promoting the code no matter what flavor, to insure that p2p survives. Not just sit here and flame, and make wild ass accusations and insult long established members for having diferent methods then you.
You are right though, When I first got to BVList 3 years ago I spent the first year reading everything I could. And learned that others have different ways of doing things, and what works for one will not work for the nest, the "Other Downloads" thread is filled with backup copies of trackers that so many have issues with. Theses boards anymore is like a damn drive through window at McDonalds, everyone wants to drive through flip us shit, demand a point and click tracker that will work on a free host, take advantage of the people that have been here for a while, not offer a single line of code. So your right this is done. These boards used to be where other had respect and dignity for those that thought different, and you are the poster child for what this place has become, so while you may wish to continue this way, I see no point, no future and no need for it any longer. Good luck with your little adventures.

Whilst it's theoretically possible for a free host to install memcached as a separate service on different ports for each of it's users (which I think is the point harry007 is trying to make). Let's face it, this is never going to happen. Free hosts provide users with very limited resources and usually have thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of users on each server, they're not going to provide memcached for every user. Nor will they install it upon request, you get what you pay for and in this case you're paying nothing so why would they install it for you?

Most tracker owners tend to realise pretty quickly that a free host is useless, use shared hosting until they get kicked off that due to eating up all the shared resources, move to a VPS or dedi by which time you may have received enough donations to finance the move. If you need to install a service then the only real solution is to use a VPS at the bare minimum although if you're lucky a shared host may accommodate you upon request. (Very unlikely though).

Thank you Petr1fied at last an educated user.

Can you see my frustration with this guy. At no point did l say l've installed memcache on a freehost. I said perhaps the freehost already has memcached installed. So if that was the case why would l need to reinstall it again?

One more thing memcached does not need to be restarted unless an actual change has been made to its configuration. Otherwise a simple php script to flush the cache is all that would be necessary.
