hi,

it's a beautiful script but i have difficulty having it working properly ...

it gives me this :



I configured it the way it should but nothing comes up. I have php5 and i have tried bsd user trick but it'S not working for me. Besides php5, i have rh9 with original seti client with ksetispy. I noticed that i dont have result.sah in my seti dir but i do have result_header.sah. Is it the same file? I tried to change result for reslut_header in the php files but it's not working. Or my result.sah file is missing !?!? Maybe because i have ksetispy installed ? I dont know. Maybe you have a clue ?

thx for your time.

Hi. That means that the PHP script cannot find or read the seti@home files. Check this:

1. Check that you are using the original SETI@home client, not a BOINC one. (I will support new BOINC clients, but I need some time to rewrite the code).

2. Find out where are located the seti@home files (state.sah, user_info.sah, work_unit.sah, pid.sah).

3. Open the seticlients.inc.php file with an text editor and check that the variable $ps_homedir[1] is set to the directory where the .sah files are located. (Beware of the trailing slash).

If the PHP script cannot find or read the files, then there is something wrong. Maybe a permission problem or PHP working in safe-mode.

Ok, I have not tested PHPSETIMon with PHP5, I'm not sure if it does work (some users report it works).

result_header.sah is not the same than result.sah. But don't be alarmed, result.sah only appears when the processing of the workunit is completed, not while processing.

About ksetispy, I know it has a more or less complex cache management system. I have not used ksetispy and I have no idea if keep the current workunit in the same directory or if it call the seti@home client to use different directories for each workunit. Some cache managers use the second approach, which cannot be used with the PHPSETIMon.


But don't give up yet, check the first steps and let me know what you find.

anyone know how to add the GD library to an installed ver of php ?
i installed GD library but it seems that it must also be compiled into php. any ideas?

Hi. Please check that the directories history, gauss, maps, skyview and zooms have the proper permissions. I mean, the web server user (maybe is the user "nobody") must be able to write to those directories. So, you can change the ownership of the dirs to nobody:nobody or change the permissions of the directory to allow other users to write and browse (o+wx).

(Note that I don't have a BSD available around here, so I'm not sure if the web server user is really "nobody", it could be "www" or "apache". Check it).

If you are using PHP 4.3.x or higher, the GD support is available even if you don't have installed the GD library (the library is bundled with PHP). You just need to compile PHP with GD support.

If you compiled it yourself "by hand", then just add the --with-gd option to ./configure. It may be necessary also to add: --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/ --with-png-dir=/usr/ --with-freetype-dir --enable-gd-native-ttf.

I found this but I don't use BSD, so I don't know if this works:

ok seems to have compiled with the GD library but im getting an error now when ever i enable GD library support heres the error i think it needs more space allocated for php to use but im not sure how to add it heres the error

Hi again. I guess you already fixed it, but just for the record I'll answer this.
That error usually is fixed changing the "memory_limit" option in the php.ini configuration file of PHP. By default the memory_limit is set to 8M; a good value would be between 16M and 32M.

This option can also be enabled in the seti_lib.inc.php file. At the start of the script you can add a line like this:

I will include a line like that in future releases.
