hi,

I have not seen an announcement on this list regarding the LinuxFest Northwest.
>From where I am it looks like a cool event and it looks SPUG is one of
the closest PM group.

Is any of you planning to attend?

Maybe you'd want to setup a Perl or SPUG.pm info desk?

regards
   Gabor

To: fest-list at peakserv.com


For the 12th year, LinuxFest Northwest 2011 is happening April 30th
and May 1st.

LinuxFest Northwest is a community event, organized by a team of
volunteers. Its success depends on participation. We are asking the
Free&Open Source Software community to get involved.

*Present* at the Fest on a project that you use or contribute to.
Share your experiences with potential users, connect with other
contributors, or find collaborators on a new idea. Presentations add
value for everyone involved, including you. If you don't want to
present, perhaps you know of someone who could. Or if you have
something to say that won't take an hour, check out the Lightning
Talks session. For more information, email
present at linuxfestnorthwest.org.

*Exhibit* and get your messages to a select audience. Whether you
represent a F&OSS non-profit, a college or a company that sells to
technical users, the low key exhibits are effective marketing.
Exhibitors are a key component of the community. For more information,
email exhibit at linuxfestnorthwest.org.

*Sponsor* LinuxFest Northwest to show visible support for the F&OSS
community and receive valuable exposure in return. The Fest attracts
attendees from California to British Columbia, and has international
recognition. Free admission depends on funding and support provided
primarily by sponsors. If your company depends on open source
technology (no matter where it is located), please consider an LFNW
sponsorship as a way to give back. New this year, individual
supporters can pre-pay discretionary Fest expenses online. For more
information, email sponsor at linuxfestnorthwest.org.

There are buttons on the front page of linuxfestnorthwest.org to join
in the effort.

In past years, Fest organizers have received information and feedback
from area User Groups and attendees about ways to improve. The online
forums (under the Community tab on the front page) are intended to
generate discussions and make connections as the Fest approaches. If
there is a subject that you would like to hear about, please post to
the ?Sessions? forum, and if you'd like to present, that's a place to
get some ideas.

Please help *Spread the Word*. Let people know that you are part of
LinuxFest Northwest through social sites, blogs, Twitter, forums,
mailing lists. Word of mouth is the main way that people discover
LFNW. Do someone a favor; tell them about the Low Stress Fest.

This message will also be sent to the LFNW Fest-List. If you are
subscribed at the LFNW website AND the Fest-List, you will receive
both copies. Most communication for LFNW 2011 will be done through the
website, although some messages will also be distributed to Fest-List.
There are unsubscribe instructions at both locations.

	16 (1 week)
Message-ID: <AANLkTikoLmPN_CffHFXkOs9mVYHB1S22i9dGjMF8KD+a@mail.gmail.com>

Fri/Sat March 11, 12, 2011

Early Bird Registration until February 16 (only one week from now)!
Save yourself or your employer some professional development money and
register now:

           http://casitconf.org/casitconf11/Registration.html

The premier opportunity this year to meet Information Technology
experts and get the inside track on one of the hottest regions for IT
in the world. Talks, presentations, poster sessions, lightning talks
and DIY unconference sessions will be available. Exchange ideas, learn
and enjoy "Hallway track" networking with other conference
participants and speakers.

We are also still looking for sponsors - talk to your marketing
department, vendors and even customers if you think they might be
interested. There are still some high profile opportunities:

          http://casitconf.org/casitconf11/Sponsorship.html

There are longer sessions scheduled for "Perl Fundamentals" and "Perl
Tips" but I am sure there is still plenty of room for targetted
Lightning Talks (5 minutes) and Poster sessions. Short talks on say, a
specific rich perl module would be excellent!

O hai SPUG,

Tonight is the night that we are supposed to meet. And somehow we do not
have a talk scheduled again.

So, for those who are interested, let's again meet and hang out at Von's.
Same details as below. Except for the bit about Dave doing Lacuna show and
tell. Unless he wants to do that some more. :)

-Colin.

Early Bird Registration has been extended to February 23! A little
gift for people who were going to register and didn?t quite make the
early bird deadline.

           http://casitconf.org/casitconf11/Registration.html

Considering a talk or presentation? You can still do a Lightning Talk
(5 minutes) or Poster session. Just send your proposal to:
casitconf-submissions at casitconf.org

Are you planning on staying at the hotel? The conference discounted
rate is only good through tomorrow, Thursday February 17. 800-899-0251
or email: reservations at hoteldeca.com Book now.

We are also still looking for sponsors - talk to your marketing
department, vendors and even customers if you think they might be
interested. There are still some high profile opportunities:

          http://casitconf.org/casitconf11/Sponsorship.html

This is a first time, local, volunteer-run event. If you can want to
help, email casitconf-chairs at casitconf.org and most importantly spread
the word! You probably know the other people that are interested in
attending and presenting. Be sure and let them know!

Message-ID: <AANLkTikv4xRZMVn8ZMmRiDf1BmCaWu4KAWm-wxT3gpmp@mail.gmail.com>

Here is a puzzle:

Setting up gitweb on CentOS 5.5

In the script segment:
---8<---Start---8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<---
#!/usr/bin/perl

# gitweb - simple web interface to track changes in git repositories
#
# (C) 2005-2006, Kay Sievers <kay.sievers at vrfy.org>
# (C) 2005, Christian Gierke
#
# This program is licensed under the GPLv2

open(O, ">>/tmp/fo");

use 5.008;
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard :escapeHTML -nosticky);
use CGI::Util qw(unescape);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
use Encode;
use Fcntl ':mode';
use File::Find qw();
use File::Basename qw(basename);
use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday tv_interval);
binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';

.
.
.
my $projects_list = "/pub/git";
     printf(O "--\n%s-\n", $projects_list ); # debug printfs to
isolate the error
        if (-d $projects_list) {
     printf(O "--\n%s-\n", $projects_list ); # debug printfs to
isolate the error
---8<--- End ---8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<---

The -d test of if /pub/git is a directory (it is) fails via cgi, but
(as user apache)
works via command line?

Any ideas?

If "via cgi" is a web server, does the user the web server is running
under have permission to look in /pub?

Cut down to a minimal test:

----8<----Start
Code----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<----
#!/usr/bin/perl


open(O, ">>/tmp/fo");
my $projects_list = "/pub/git";
  printf(O "+++\n\n" );
if (-d "/pub/git") {
  printf(O "++++++\n\n" );
}

# print header
printf("Status: 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n");

# print some body
printf("<html><head><title>dtest</title></head><body>TEST</body></html>\n");

----8<----End  Code----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<----

Stock CentOS 5.5 Apache.

I will dig deeper into the http configuraiton files (stock).

Did you check the permissions, as Andrew suggested?  That seems like the
likely explanation to me.

Yes, and comparing to another CenOS 5.5 box, all perl rpm's are the same.

Very odd behavior.

OK, I knew it must have been simple:  SELINUX was blocking httpd from
reading the directory.
