[ATOM-Settings: IDE-PHP could not launch your PHP runtime: how to proceed ?]

update: 

well - i guess that Hydrogen requires more than a plain Python interpreter. It provides functionality much like a Jupyter Notebook.

If all i  want to do is run a small script, then I guess i should  just stick to the script package, or run it in a terminal.

but i want to see the output of the script - this is pretty important to me.

  hello dear fellows, 

 

 

above all. well i hope you and your family is well - and all goes well in your location. How is your town dealing with covit19? I hope that we can overcome this crisis soon. 

 

ad i get continued messages and as i encounter issues day by day i just add the findings here - perhaps we can solve them in this thread.  many many thanks to you and for any and all help. 

 

the topic of today: no kernel for grammar Python found - pykernel necessary - honestly?

 

well this is pretty confusing - i can run scripts - even in python. 

but after installing hydrogen  ( cf https://atom.io/packages/hydrogen ) i have encountered funny and very confusing things. 

i want to run a little python script - and while doing a test with hydrogen>run i get back the following message: 

 

see: 

No Kernels Installed
No kernels are installed on your system so you will not be able to execute code in any language.

 

(#)[Popular Kernels](#)[All Kernels](#)

No kernel for grammar  `Python`  found

 

Check that the language for this file is set in Atom, that you have a Jupyter kernel installed for it, and that you have configured the language mapping in Hydrogen preferences.

To detect your current Python install you will need to run:

    python -m pip install ipykernel
    python -m ipykernel install --user

 

well - what is pretty confusing  - is the fact that i can run scripts - also python scripts - with the package called script: they work pretty well ... 

 

what goes on here - i have no glue --- see the image.. 

[Connecting to github with my ATOM - steps to take?]

hello dear fellows 

How is your locality dealing with Corona? I hope you all were fine and all goes well. 

i hope that this question is in the right subforum - 

i have had some experience with ATOM and github - but now i have to do a restart. This thread helps me. i have some questions to make clear that i understand all well…: just set me straight if i am wrong.   we can merge GitHub with Atom, so you can pull your repo on GitHub to Atom, that said we can:

see changes on Atom,

make changes in Atom,

commit in Atom, and then push to GitHub, similiar to GitHub Desktop just with a built-in editor. the core function “Git-Integrator” is a great feature:

at the moment it is like so: 

i have started ATOM and i have logged into my GIthub-account - online. Now the question is: how to connect to github from ATOM - how to connect both!? At the moment all looks like so:

 

 

 

again - i have started and i am looged online into my github account
and atom runs at the moment

which steps should i take next"!?

[value for session.save_path (/tmp) is not writable for web server :: security-risk!?]

hi there - good day dear GW 1500 se - 

update: if we have a closer look at the image - the foto in the thread...

 

and if we think of this.. 

session_save_path ([ string $path ] ) : string

	session_save_path() gibt den Pfad des aktuellen Verzeichnisses zurück, das zum Speichern der Session-Daten verwendet wird.

	[/CODE]

[CODE]No session => no login
No session => no installation
An session.save_path not writable => No session.
[/CODE]

conclusio: 

i all ways thought that this code tests if we  can write into the php variable $_SESSION or - if we cannot do that

- and i allways thought that this is  read only
 

what do you say - !? 

 

look forward to hear from you

hi there - good day dear gw. 

 

first of all - many many thanks for the quick reply -  we re talking about the installation of a survey-script - called limesurvey - cf. www.limesurvey.org  

i get the following complaints during the installation process -

[value for session.save_path (/tmp) is not writable for web server :: security-risk!?]

hi there - good day dear fellows, 

the topic of today: session.save_path (/tmp) is not writable for web server :: security-risk!?

I am trying to install a script on my OpenSuse Webserver, and I managed to resolve most of the errors except of one:

The value for session.save_path (/tmp) is not writable for the web server.
Make sure that PHP can actually save session variables.

 

 That seems to be the problem.
 

 

session.save_path: writeable 
You need set permission for your var directory.

 

well - i guess that the default ownership may be incorrect on the session folder: 

Example; php on some Linux-Server defaults to apache user. 

If using nginx or other need to switch the folder ownership.  Also as a note you have to change the user/group setting in www.conf.

 

chown -R root:nginx /var/lib/php/7.0/
sed -i 's/apache/nginx/g' /etc/php-fpm-7.0.d/www.conf
service php-fpm-7.0 restart

 

But wait:  what about the security - is it save to make the session.save_path writeable!?

my server-admin says that this is a big big hole and makes the server unsecure. 

love to hear from you 

yours dil_bert

by the way: years ago i have had this issue on the server. 

but the question is - is this a securitiy risk!?  I need to know this. Look forward to hear from you

[simple_html_dom: simple use-case - to get back data for storing in SQLite db]

to find out more about how i work with the DOMdocument i go ahead - eg like so: I have this html code:

    ...
    </head>
<body>
    <div>
    <div class="foo" data-type="bar">
        SOMECONTENTWITHMORETAGS
    </div>
    </div>
</body>

 

and now  I'd like to return all html tags (including its attributes) of DOMElement. How I can do that?

How to achive this!?

 

private function get_html_from_node($node){
  $html = '';
  $children = $node->childNodes;

  foreach ($children as $child) {
    $tmp_doc = new DOMDocument();
    $tmp_doc->appendChild($tmp_doc->importNode($child,true));
    $html .= $tmp_doc->saveHTML();
  } 
  return $html;
}

 

I already can get the "foo" element (but only its content) with this function above,.... 

 

guess that it is pretty woth to thake a closer look at the optional argument to DOMDocument::saveHTML: this says "output this element only".

 

return $node->ownerDocument->saveHTML($node);

Note that the argument is now in php7 available - - since 5xcy . Before that, you would need to use DOMDocument::saveXML instead.  The good thing is that the results may very very helpful - Also, if we already have a reference to the document, we can just do this:

 

 

$doc->saveHTML($node);

okay - and now i will work on the above mentioned example... - in europe

findings: As the error states, i think that simple_html_dom.php either doesn't exist or isn't in the right location.

furthermore: since file_get_html is not a native PHP function, the function resides within my included file that cannot be found so i need to to fix that first. The filed does not exist by checking the inc folder in the project root. i am going to fix it.


so the question is:

[How to create a self-signed certificate with OpenSSL?]

 hello dear experts at phpfreaks i hope you are well and everything goes all right  

 

today i have a question regarding the creation of a SSL-Certificate.  

note: i am fairly new to the process of generating a SSL-certificate ....: Is it possible to do self signed certification a website without domain name? 
to shed a light i have gathered some information: i have read some documentations and sumarize it here - trying to find out the information that helps me to answer  the question. 

 i have gathered some infos here at: https://www.openssl.org/ and at stackoverflow - see below

(For an explanation of the numbering, see our release strategy.) All releases can be found at /source/old. A list of mirror sites can be found here. Note: The latest stable version is the 1.1.1 series.

The question is:
Is it possible to do self signed certification a website without domain name? I have read that we can do this with the servicelet'sencrypt.org: it seems so that it does not issue certificate for having no domain name.
i have heard about various options and methods: 

a. - getting a certificate from LetsEncrypt that would be trusted by most of the browsers that are out there: 
preliminaries:  we need a domain that resolves to our server. 
- LetsEncrypt does not issue certs for IP-addresses nor for custom dev-domains like .local. and the like. 

secondly: We - of course are also able to create and sign a certificate ourself, for every domain name we want, or even for IP addresses. The domain name can be anything, and doesn't necessarily be the one we use to access the site. 

In this case i guess that the webserver won't mind here.

But that said i can imagine that our browser will display a whole bunch of warnings and will throw lots of errors, though (CN mismatch and things alike, non-trusted signature and other things more), but if we just skip/ignore those kind of warnings and messages then subesquently we can access the site via HTTPS.

the creation process: How to create a self-signed certificate with OpenSSL

i am on Linux and i guess that we can do this on console: It's fairly easy to create a self-signed certificate on linux. If we are on Linux we just use the openssl req command. 
It can be tricky to create one that can be consumed by the largest selection of clients that aree browsers and command line tools too. The many browsers out there have their own set of requirements, therfore it may be a bit difficult - some browsers are more restrictive than the IETF. The requirements used by browsers are documented at the CA/Browser Forums (see references below). The restrictions arise in two key areas:  (1) trust anchors, and (2) DNS names.

so the creation-process can have the following steps - according this documentation taken from here: ttps://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMNED_5.0.0/com.ibm.apic.cmc.doc/task_apionprem_gernerate_self_signed_openSSL.html

 

Procedure To generate a self-signed SSL certificate using the OpenSSL, complete the following steps:

Write down the Common Name (CN) for your SSL Certificate. The CN is the fully qualified name for the system that uses the certificate. If you are using Dynamic DNS, your CN should have a wild-card, for example: *.api.com. Otherwise, use the hostname or IP address set in your Gateway Cluster (for example. 192.16.183.131 or dp1.acme.com).
Run the following OpenSSL command to generate your private key and public certificate. Answer the questions and enter the Common Name when prompted.

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -x509 -days 365 -out certificate.pemCopy

Review the created certificate:

openssl x509 -text -noout -in certificate.pemCopy

Combine your key and certificate in a PKCS#12 (P12) bundle:

 openssl pkcs12 -inkey key.pem -in certificate.pem -export -out certificate.p12Copy

Validate your P2 file.

openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -noout -info

Here are the options described in more detail, from the documentation at https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/req.html
note: the documentation is actually much more detailed than the following notes; I just summarized it here: 

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days XXX

req

PKCS#10 certificate request and certificate generating utility.

-x509

this option outputs a self signed certificate instead of a certificate request. This is typically used to generate a test certificate or a self signed root CA.

-newkey arg

this option creates a new certificate request and a new private key. The argument takes one of several forms. rsa:nbits, where nbits is the number of bits, generates an RSA key nbits in size.

-keyout filename

this gives back the filename to write the newly created private key to.

-out filename

This specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by default.

-days n

when the -x509 option is being used this specifies the number of days to certify the certificate for. The default is 30 days.

-nodes

if this option is specified then if a private key is created it will not be encrypted.

The documentation from the documentation at https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/req.html
is actually more detailed than the above; I just summarized it here.

As of 2020, the following command serves all our needs, including SAN:
cf https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10175812/how-to-create-a-self-signed-certificate-with-openssl/10176685#10176685

 

 

In OpenSSL ≥ 1.1.1, this can be shortened to:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes \
  -keyout example.key -out example.crt -subj "/CN=example.com" \
  -addext "subjectAltName=DNS:example.com,DNS:example.net,IP:10.0.0.1"

It creates a certificate that is:

valid for the domains

example.com 

and

example.net

(SAN),
also valid for the IP address 10.0.0.1 (SAN),
relatively strong (as of 2020) and
valid for 3650 days (~10 years).

It creates the following files:

Private key: example.key
Certificate: example.crt

All information is provided at the command line. There is no interactive input that annoys you. There are no config files you have to mess around with. All necessary steps are executed by a single OpenSSL invocation: from private key generation up to the self-signed certificate.

Remark #1: Crypto parameters

Since the certificate is self-signed and needs to be accepted by users manually, it doesn't make sense to use a short expiration or weak cryptography.

In the future, you might want to use more than 4096 bits for the RSA key and a hash algorithm stronger than sha256, but as of 2020 these are sane values. They are sufficiently strong while being supported by all modern browsers.

Remark #2: Parameter "-nodes"

Theoretically we could leave out the -nodes parameter (which means "no DES encryption"), in which case example.key would be encrypted with a password. However, this is almost never useful for a server installation, because you would either have to store the password on the server as well, or you'd have to enter it manually on each reboot.

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes \
  -keyout example.key -out example.crt -extensions san -config \
  <(echo "[req]"; 
    echo distinguished_name=req; 
    echo "[san]"; 
    echo subjectAltName=DNS:example.com,DNS:example.net,IP:10.0.0.1
    ) \
  -subj "/CN=example.com"

 

 

the question is: Is it possible to do self signed certification a website without domain name? 
I have read that we can do this with the servicelet'sencrypt.org: it seems so that it does not issue certificate for having no domain name. i have heard about various options and methods that i have described above.

.....according to this installation-instructions - this offers misleading and disturbin information..: 

https://www.phpbb.com/community/docs/INSTALL.html

they want you to do the installation with the following paths 

http://www.wp-forum.net/install/
http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB3/install/
http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB3/install/app.php
http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB3/install/app.php

but they do not exist at all: we do not have the following path - called mydomain.com/phpbb3 - this is just disturbing. well i wonder why this installation-instruction does not meet the real conditions and facts. 

http://www.wp-forum.net/install/
http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB/install/
http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB/install/app.php
http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB/install/app.php

by the way: i use for the unzip the WinRAR 5.71 !?

note this is a testversion - for only 40 days. these 40 days are gone.. 

are the issue probably rootet in the WinRAR 5.71!?  Could / should i try to do the unzip with another tool!?

love to hear from you

[how to debug the phpBB-forum software: i allways get 500 error]

hello dear 

according to this instruction 

https://www.phpbb.com/community/docs/INSTALL.html

i have to say :  this is pretty funny - . so called double bind instructions.... like so

a. do this 
b. do not this 

just have a closer look at this instrcutions.. 

Once all the files have been uploaded to your site, you should point your browser at this location with the addition of /install/. 
For example, if your domain name is www.example.com and you placed the phpBB files in the directory /phpBB3 off your web 
root you would enter 

http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB3/install/
http://www.wp-forum.net/phpBB3/install/app.php

into your browser. When you have done this, you should see the phpBB Introduction screen appear.
 

well - to be frank - i start over again -  but this file structure and these instructions are not good - all can be misunderstood

this is so bad bad bad.. and we can say - these instructions are messed up totally

 

again:  uplpoad and start over...

 

 

[how to debug the phpBB-forum software: i allways get 500 error]

hello dear Requinix 

 

i did it - i had a closer look at the logs. 

btw:  the server is no a bit more stable and the errors on the Wordpress /(open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): )

note: we Modified the open_basedir settings in our hosting account and set them better. 
We corrected the open_basedir setting given under 'PHP Settings' area on our server. 
To resolve this error we edited the file httpd.conf. 
Way before it can be seen in phpinfo in apache2handler section directive Server Root. 
For example, in my case this way - / etc / httpd / httpd.conf. 

so the wordpress on the same server - is running good - with no errors and no issues at all.
but i have issues with a vhost - where i did not have installed the phpBB version 3.3.0 which resides on that server:

again: as mentioned above - i struggle with some facts that i encountered - the file-structure of the phpBB 3,3: well this is extraordinary confusing and disturbing... 

with the phpBB version 3.3 xy we have a annoying file and folder structure 

just have a closer look what we have the following listing: 

/sites/www.wp-forum.net/install/

with the folders 
/convert/
/convertors/
/shemas/

and the files 

app.php

and we have the following: 

/sites/www.wp-forum.net/phpbb/install

with 

/controll
/console
/event
/exception
/helper 
/module

installer.php 

that looks pretty insane - i wonder why we have install - two times

 dear requnix, - i have to digg deeper into all that - so that i can find out 
what i need to 

a. correct on the server (-configuration)
b. can do on the server 
c. find out more insights - in using a clever debug mode or something thelike...

look forward to hear from you

[Wordpress: how to add the featured image to a page !?]

hello again,  untill now i did not fix the issues,

here a description that fits most: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-page-not-showing-featured-image/

question: I have installed the theme but on post page, none of the post showing the featured images, just showing on the home page…
Can anyone help to resolve this problem so post page can also show the related featured image?

answer: I managed to bodge it by adding this to (my child theme’s) single.php

`
 

<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail( 'full' );
}
?>
(Insert after <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>)
<img src="wherever" />

and  a link: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-featured-image-or-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress/

note: i did not have applied the code to a child-theme yet. 

but i deactivated all the plugins - step by step. - without any success. 
note: i have upgreaded the server from PHP-Version 5.6 to Version 7.2xy

at the moment i struggle with some issues on the page: 

`Warning: ini_set(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/wp-errors.log) is not within the allowed path(s): (/sites) in /sites/www.my-site.com/wp-includes/load.php on line 345`

condluding question: is it possible that this can cause the issues?!? with the featured image!? 

look forward to hear from you 

regards
