[SOLVED] Installing Drupal

Hi you all,
I want to install drupal on my PC in order to create a website on my PC and then to show it before pushing it on the server.
I installed drupal with pacman/pacaur with mariadb, php and some related modules and apache.
I followed the instruction on the wiki and nothing happened.
I followed this guide in Italian [1] and now if I go to localhost/drupal this error is printed out:
«Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403

What should I have to do?

  • [SOLVED] Installing VLC from Extras doesn't work.

    Hey guys,
    During installation I enabled the pacman repository mirror for my country. Which is hosted by Kangaroot.net
    Just now I tried to install VLC media player. Oddly enough pacman couldn't find a couple of dependency packages on the Kangaroot mirror.
    To fix this I went into /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and enabled all the mirrors from Germany. I figured that would fix it.
    Seems that the German mirrors are missing the same packages though. This is pacman's output:
    error: failed retrieving file 'libdvbpsi-0.2.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mir.archlinux.fr : Not Found
    error: failed retrieving file 'ffmpeg-20111108-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Not Found
    error: failed retrieving file 'libupnp-1.6.13-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Not Found
    error: failed retrieving file 'vlc-1.1.12-3-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mir.archlinux.fr : Not Found
    When you look up "Archlinux" on the videolan.org website it claims VLC ought to be available in the Extras repository.
    What am I missing?
    Last edited by 20k (2011-11-26 21:26:44)

    Am I right in understanding that because pacman's database was not properly updated it couldn't find the same packages on other mirrors either?
    Yes. Your database was out of date, therefore pacman was looking for things which would no longer exist on any up to date mirror.
    EDIT: If your problem is solved, please edit your thread title to reflect this

  • [solved] Installing pygame

    Hi,
    Im having a problem while installing pygame from the repositories.
    It seems that sdl_ttf-2.0.9-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz cannot be found in several mirrors.
    However, I downloaded the tar file and did ./configure and make, but
    now I dont know where to put the directory to continue with the installation of
    the pygame library.
    Could someone help me with this?

    Thanks for the help
    You're welcome.
    A couple of friendly reminders:
    - keep your system updated
    - you can grab a package by hand if the mirrors are acting up, no need to compile
    - we have a list of good (up to date) mirrors https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

  • [SOLVED]Install Scribes after Archlinux's python3 update from october

    I would like to install scribes with the latest updates, but since Archlinux switched to Python3 by default (in october), I am unable to do so.
    Before the update, i ran without problem:
    bzr branch lp:scribes
    cd scribes
    sh autogen.sh
    make
    sudo make install
    But now I can't pass autogen.sh :
    checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C++ compiler...
    checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... python
    checking for python... /usr/bin/python
    checking for python version... 3.1
    checking for python platform... linux2
    checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
    checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
    configure: error: Error: Dependency check failed
    In conf.log there is:
    configure:6227: ./conftest
    File "depcheck.py", line 10
    print "Checking for D-Bus (Python Bindings)... yes"
    ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
    So I run 2to3 on the depcheck.py file in the folder:
    2to3 -w depcheck.py
    And I get:
    checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... python
    checking for python... /usr/bin/python
    checking for python version... 3.1
    checking for python platform... linux2
    checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
    checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
    Error: Python bindings for D-Bus was not found.
    configure: error: Error: Dependency check failed
    In depcheck.py, the error is launched when:
    # Check for D-Bus Python Bindings.
    try:
    import dbus
    if dbus.version < (0, 70, 0): raise AssertionError
    print("Checking for D-Bus (Python Bindings)... yes")
    except ImportError:
    print("Error: Python bindings for D-Bus was not found.")
    raise SystemExit
    except AssertionError:
    print("Error: Version 0.70 or better of dbus-python needed.")
    raise SystemExit
    It turns out I can't access dbus module from python3:
    $ python
    Python 3.1.3 (r313:86834, Dec 1 2010, 12:35:23)
    [GCC 4.5.1 20101125 (prerelease)] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import dbus
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    ImportError: No module named dbus
    >>>

    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import dbus
    >>>
    But anyway, scribes is written with python2 syntax in mind, so let's use it :
    $ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.7
    I now re-run ./autogen.sh :
    checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C++ compiler...
    checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... ./configure: line 6015: 17533 Aborted ( $am_cv_pathless_PYTHON -c "$prog" ) 1>&5 2>&5

    configure: program exited with status 1
    configure: failed program was:
    | /* confdefs.h */

    But with the PYTHONPATH set, I can't even start the python interpreter (python2 still works fine):
    $ python

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 9, in <module>
    Aborted
    I can still start scribes without compiling it, but then on the console, the same error appears:
    $ python2 scribes.in
    Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 9, in <module>
    Without PYTHONPATH set, I can also run scribes (with python2), but it gives me an error in the console. I also tried o run 2to3 on every python file in the project and correcting the syntax to be conform to http://diveintopython3.org/porting-code … -2to3.html (but that's not really what I'm supposed to do, is it?), and I got the same error as the one below ("No module named gobject") when trying to build with autogen.sh:
    $ export PYTHONPATH=
    $ python2 scribes.in
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/wan/scribes_d/scribes_721/SCRIBES/SaveSystem/ExternalProcess/ScribesSaveProcess.py", line 7, in <module>
    from gobject import MainLoop, threads_init
    ImportError: No module named gobject
    I am out of ideas to try to correct the problem. Can anyone help me please?

    I knew there was an old (and not up-to-date) package in community, but I didn't know that I could get the PKGBUILD.
    That teached me the -G argument for yaourt!
    To solve the problem, the previous script helped a lot:
    $ sed -i 's/python depcheck.py/python2 depcheck.py/' configure.ac
    ... on some other files as well.
    I submitted the now up-to-date PKGBUILD to the AUR here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44275
    Thanks for your suggestions!

  • [Solved] Install package python-evdev from AUR

    I belive this is the correct section to post this but I have a problem installing the package python-evdev where I get the error ( Unsupported package: Potentially dangerous ! )
    after trying to install with yaourt and pip install python-evdev results in bash: pip: command not found even after checking that extra/python-setuptools 1:5.2-1 is installed
    and extra/python2-setuptools 1:5.2-1 is installed.
    I realize there are other modules for hooking x server events but this one I have already written 200 lines of code for and is key to my application working.  I was able to install
    and utilize this module in ubuntu but cannot seem to get it installed in archlinux.  Any guidance would be apreciated.

    I asumed pip came with setup tools, so following ids1024's lead I did a pacman -S python-pip which solved the command not found issue.  I downloaded and untar'ed the package from AUR and issued a makepkg -s from within the extracted folder.  There seems to be an issue with the licence which I can now see has to do with the person who make the package
    I did not realize the dynamics of how AUR works because I am new to arch, so I appologize if I bothered anyone.
    [Update] I have abondoned the idea of getting pythons evdev module installed as I have located a python3-xlib module which seems to have installed correctly, incidently I was unable to locate a xlib ported to python3 in my other distro, but found it in AUR here so this should work, will have to adapt my code but not the end of the world.  Else if (Xlib != WORKING): work directly with /dev/input/eventn using root

  • [SOLVED] Installed Win 7, now Arch won't boot

    Edit: To save anyone reading this all the way, the problem turned out to be a badly edited fstab. Sigh.
    PROBLEM:
    Grub loads, then loads the kernel, but the boot hangs a few seconds later with no real error messages.
    BACKGROUND:
    1) I needed to boot a native Windows 7 partition on my 128GB laptop SSD.
    2) So, I used gparted in an Ubuntu Live USB to resize my existing Arch partition and create an NTFS partition for Win 7:
    sda > sda1=Arch > sda2=ntfs > sda3=linux swap
    Arch still booted fine after this (sda1).
    3) I then installed windows 7 (BIOS install) onto the second partition (sda2). I don't know where or if it puts some system reserved partition - but I can't see anything in gparted.
    4) chrooted from an Arch Live USB, reinstalled GRUB, including mkconfig step
    5) *If* I recall, Arch then booted OK.
    6)  Booted into Windows and applied all updates, set windows to use UTC clock and updated my laptops BIOS. Reboot.
    7) Win 7 boots fine from the grub menu from (hd0,2)
    8) Arch starts booting, loads the kernel, then hangs after the kernel has loaded, but before gdm appears. With the following on screen:
    [2.104597] INFO @wl_cfg80211_attach : Registered CFG80211 phy
    I have tried chrooting and reinstalling linux and linux-headers and grub. But so far to no avail.
    [SOLVED with face palm]
    I installed syslinux using chroot, as it displays more startup messages. The boot was hanging at [a disk task is starting] or words to that effect. It was my USB stick, which I'd foolishly added to fstab with the "auto" option. Editing that out of fstab - and it's all good.
    I'll leave this here in case anyone else does something this dumb.

    Is LVM handled automatically by systemd? The reason I ask is because I have the USELVM= set to YES in rc.conf.
    I made the permanent transition to systemd and did not start alsa at all - sound works fine - so I never bothered with the alsa-store/alsa-restore service files at all - it just works! Also dbus gets handled by default in systemd so you don't need any starting of dbus service at all... it just works.

  • [SOLVED] install arch VM with pacstrap

    Dear all,
    I am installing a Arch VM on my Arch host. The host is up-to-date, well configured (at least I think) in a vanilla manner (no suspicious hacks).
    # pacstrap -i -c -d /dahlia base base-devel
    is installing all packages but gives me this error many times:
    /usr/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    error: command failed to execute correctly
    Googling this error returns lot of topics but I couldn't find a clear answer. I do not want to start with a semi-broken arch VM, so I want to solve this issue before going further.
    Thank you

  • [SOLVED] install xorg on Virtualbox's ArchLinux

    I'm trying to install xorg on the ArchLinux.(which in a virtualbox's box)

    When I use 'lsmod|grep vboxvideo'.  It exist.

    [SOLVED solution]
    mkdir -p /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
    rerun the virtualbox addition
    Last edited by dlin (2011-08-13 01:04:50)

    You need a VirtualBox Guest installation for your guest system to  get the needed video driver run at your guest system.
    Look at this how to do the installation on an Arch system:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest
    Alternatively, you can install the drivers with VirtualBox itself. There is a Menu entry 'Install Guest Additions...' under 'Devices'.
    After calling the menu item there is a iso image installed wich you can mount in your guest system:
    # mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
    or something similar
    On the CD there is a bash script /mnt/VboxLinuxAdditions.run which you can run to compile the device drivers.
    To do this, you need gcc and linux headers installed on your guest system.
    For using the compiled drivers, use the wiki article which I have linked above.
    This Way has the disadvantage that you need to do the compilation again after every kernel update.

  • [SOLVED] Installing modemmanager + accessing aur + misc issues

    Hi All:
    I am new to Arch. It was a very learning and trying experience getting Arch up and running with Gnome 3, and wireless connectivity etc., but it was a lot of fun and the system is very fun to use.. Now, I have Network Manager installed so that I can also connect to the internet using a datacard (USB modem) as well as wireless internet when in office.
    After struggling to get the modem out of the CD mode, installing modemmanager, and usb_modeswitch, things were working ok, sort of. Network Manager detected my datacard and showed it in available connections in the applet (in the clutter notification).. When I clicked on it to try and connect, nothing happens. I then open Network Settings, and go to Mobile Broadband tab, and click on "Options" but nothing shows up. I thought maybe, modemmanager didn't install properly so I try uninstalling it, and re-installing and try again. I guess I did this a couple of times without thinking.. Somewhere in the middle of it all, modemmanager got messed up, and when I did "clyde -Qi modemmanager", it showed like (typing this from memory):
    extra/modemmanager <version-number>
    Null
    So, I uninstalled it ("clyde -R modemmanager"), and tried reinstalling it (clyde -S --repos modemmanager), but it won't install. It keeps saying that there are many files are that already existing so installation is aborted. I am not sure if I can delete those files (some are in the d-bus folder etc).. Without modemmanager, my USB modem won't show up on the network manager applet anymore.
    I wanted to post the contents of that error message here, using pastebin, but that brings me to the next problem:
    Some websites are not accessible from my Arch installation. The websites I know aren't working are:
    1. Aur website (doesn't load),
    2. Arch forums (loads but won't let me post),
    3. pastebin.com (loads but won't let me post),
    4. Youtube (loads site but video won't load).
    These sites work fine from my windows installation. Also, sending email via IMAP on thunderbird is very whimsical. I think if the message is bigger than a particular size, it gets stuck halfway.. Searching for the youtube issue, I found someone saying that setting MTU on the network manager will solve it. So, I set MTU to 1436 bytes. (or something close) That solved the youtube problem, but the remaining problems still persist.
    Sorry I am not able to give all the error messages here yet, because of the website accessing problem in my Arch installation. I am posting this from windows. Another problem I was having was not being able to write to my NTFS partition from Arch (even with root privileges) but I will leave that to another time/thread, because I still think there are things I can try to get that working..
    I will try and use a wired connection to see if that solves the problems. Meanwhile, any suggestions on how I can cleanup the modemmanager files so I can re-install it would be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    Maha

    Ok, fixed it thanks to some very helpful people in the IRC channel. Many thanks.
    I think my main mistakes was using clyde for installing from the repo, and not letting clyde finish properly once.. Removed the files after checking with pacman -Qo that they don't belong to any package. Then reinstalled modemmanager from the repo. Used nm-connections-editor to add the modem settings, and all set now!
    As for the website/posting problem, somehow it seems to have vanished. Either my router has some intermittent issues or MTU = 1426 bytes is somehow sacred.. Anyways, marking this post as [SOLVED].

  • [Solved]Installing on two drives

    I'm aware you can have a partitioned install on the one drive. I assumed you could do the same but with two hard drives and I have run into some trouble.
    Is it in fact possible to have /dev/sda as the (/) root partition and /dev/sdb as the /home partition?
    Is the mounting any different?
    I was using;
    mount /dev/sda /mnt
    mkdir /mnt/home
    mount /dev/sdb /mnt/home
    then pacstraping to /mnt.
    SOLVED; Mounting sda1 and sdb1 instead of sda and sdb, disks have 1 partition each taking up the entire volume.
    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
    mkdir /mnt/home
    mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/home

    I understand that. but both UUIDs and devices (/dev/sdX) are there in fstab if I am correct. I will check that in evening. if so did i make a mistake in generating fstab.
    I have generated fstab with
    genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab  (does this happens if i forget -p).
    as I have done this multiple times, I might have done some thing wrong. I will edit that file manually and removed /dev/sdx entries from that
    Honestly, you are not very good at sharing what is actually in your configs.  So as Trilby said above, no one really knows what is in your fstab, since you have not actually shared that with this thread. 
    As far as I can tell, when I run "genfstab -p /" on my running machine, letting the output just be dumped to stdout, it doesn't give me UUIDs anywhere.  And from your statement it seems you haven't even actually checked.
    What I have done in the past is used labels.  For example if you are using ext2, ext3, or ext4, you could assign a label using "e2label".  So lets say you label your rootfs (/) "usb_root".  Now instead of using the unreliable /dev/sdXY format, you can use LABEL=usb_root in your fstab, and in the bootloader you can use root=LABEL=usb_root (or root=/dev/disk/by-label/usb_root).
    I would also like to mention that this quote sucks:

    There are a number of people who are patiently trying to walk you through this issue (with quite a bit more hand holding that usually takes place around here), and you don't have the decency/appreciation to even take the time to confirm what you are actually using in the configs that everyone is telling you to check and/or change.
    Sir,
    I was a standard linux (i mean ubuntu etc) user until sometime back.  I don't know exactly what should be there in /etc/fstab. I also do not know what information you might need to help me. If any one asked me the details about /etc/fstab etc might have provided. I have given what info what I felt was appropriate and enough. I do not have that machine with me when I was posting lat post, otherwise I might have posted. that laptop is at home. I already said thanks in my third post immediately after I solve the problem.
    Sorry if I am wrong, and thatnk you once again for letting me about labels.
    If I still have a question about /etc/fstab, i will post my fstab.
    I don't know where to look to know that my boot loader is using uuid or dev. It would be great help.
