1.96.3 is OUT

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Just one minor change to deal with an error for system where users do
not have permission to write to /dev/urandom (typically on shared
hosts).

[Jonathan Lundell]

The change treats read-only urandom the same as non-existent urandom, for warning purposes. Is that the intent?

Also, I wonder if it wouldn't be a good policy to unconditionally use local randomness (the seeded random) and mix in urandom randomness if available. That would help to guard against a bad urandom implementation that behaved (wrt read/write) normally.

that seems to be a very good idea. with that, all who doesn't have access to /dev/urandom on host could use local urandom at least.

I installed 1.96.3 on webfaction and doesn't run (zip downloaded directly from web 1 minute ago):

[danto@web184 ~]$ python2.7 web2py/web2py.py

(still in webfaction) I installed a fresh copy (no upgrade) and at least I can access again to the scalfolding app but not to admin, now showing: "admin disabled because unable to access password file"

[Pepe Araya]

did you installed it with the webfaction's script?

did you installed it with the webfaction's script?

they (webfaction) already installed web2py for me when I first sign on with their service. probably using their script. later I was upgrading from the web interface and then restarting apache from ssh without problem until I upgraded to 1.96.1 fom 1.95.1

recently I just tried logging in through ssh and doing same things I do local: wget web2py, python2.* web2py.py and so on. I tryied moving the web2py folder inside webapps to web2py-bkp and replacing it with a fresh web2py wgeted from web2py.com and as I said, cannot access the password file (the old install also said the same).

[pbreit]

Do you have a "parameters_###.py" file in your web2py folder?

[danto]

2011/6/4 pbreit <pbreit...@gmail.com>

Do you have a "parameters_###.py" file in your web2py folder?

the was not any parameter_####.py file. still, I copied from the old folder and now I can see the login form to appadmin but my password doesn't work

[pbreit]

If you have a new HMAC key, the old password file won't work. YOu could either copy over the old HMAC key into the new install or try generating a new password with python web2py.py -a 'your password' -i 127.0.0.1 -p 8000

[Pepe Araya]

In webfaction, I did a fresh install using their install script but i get this error:

any idea of what I can to do??

thanks a lot!

[Jonathan Lundell]

For now, import logging. This should be changed to use logging the way the rest of web2py does, though. See compileapp.py for a generic example using the 'web2py' logger.

> thanks a lot!

now it works ok!

thanks!!

now it works ok!

thanks!!

it works for me too (also after reinstalling with webfaction's script), but now in tables where I have auth.signature it does not recognize the 'is_active' column

[danto]

2011/6/5 danto <web2p...@gmail.com>

I forgot to say that when I go through the shell and do db.table.fields() it DOES show the 'is_active' column, I tryied with migrate=True but nothing was solved

[Massimo Di Pierro]

This should now be fixed in trunk. Will report 1.96.4 as soon as
confirmed.

[Massimo Di Pierro]

I need more information. Do you have a traceback?

Any idea?

import logging (in utils.py)

[Pepe Araya]

Sorry, that is a duplicate message of this: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/f3l_IOcx560/wNLyIfvSj6wJ

After your recommendation, I added that line to utils.py and it works but now, after a fresh install with the version in trunk other error appear :

It should be IOError (capital E)

[Pepe Araya]

With that change it works.

 open('/dev/urandom','wb').write(''.join(chr(t) for t in ctokens))

        except IOError:

            # works anyway

thanks!
