Hello all,

I am very new to RETS, and am unsure as to what I am doing wrong.
The first time I created a source, it did not save my settings, it went into the Auto-Detect with the demo URL and all of the connection settings back to default eventhough there was an "Apply" button at the bottom, not "Connect" and nothing was in red. I went back in and changed the connection settings, hit "Apply", and it still seems to not save the settings.
I have gone through to create the target and everything works, it finds my database, the right tables, and then when I click on the apply button I get these errors:

Warning: copy(../targets/mySite): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/mySite/public_html/vieleRETS-1.1/setup/target_define_ajax.php on line 43

I am currently running PHP 4.4 on Linux.
I tried to download the vieleRETS 1.1.7 version, but when I try to cr eate a source, it just shows the "Wait a moment, Talkin' to the RETS Server" and doesn't do anything else....I left it on my browser for about 10 minutes and nothing...

Any suggestions?!
Thanks!

Hi Melanie,

It looks like permissions are not set properly for VieleRETS to write to
the 'targets' directory. If this is indeed the problem, odds are that
the 'batch_control_files', 'sources', 'extracts', 'metadata' and 'logs'
directories are not writable either. Try running chmod a+w on those
directories and see if that resolves your problem.

Good luck!
Arthur

Thanks Arthur, for the quick reply. Unfortunately, this is not what is
wrong, all of my folders have 777 permissions.
My source settings are not being saved. I enter in all the necessary
criteria, nothing is red, and the button says "Apply". During the
auto-detect section, it is detecting things for the demo site. I have gone
back in and clicked Edit to edit the source, clicked connection settings,
and it sure enough it has erased all of the settings I entered and has the
demo settings. I have used FTP to look at the source file right after I
applied the correct settings, and it still has all of the default settings.
And you cannot edit this file yourself (ex. in notepad) and overwrite it
because of the permissions that vieleRETS sets on it. Does anyone know what
is going on or how I can get my source settings to actually be saved?

Thanks!

I cannot go into the file manually and edit it, the permissions won't allow
it! And I cannot change the permissions on the file either.
I don't understand why it is not saving my connections settings. Do I need
PHP 5?

And does anyone know why 1.1.7 does not work at all?

THANKS!

Hi Melanie--

I'm with the others, it sounds like permissions. I can't imagine why you
can't edit the file unless the permissions are messed up. You say you're
on linux-- who is the owner of the vieleRETS directory? It needs to be
the web server user-- so on my box even though I extracted all the
files, I had to chown them to www-data (my apache user) so they could be
written. If you are aware of this, I apologize, but 1.1.7 works fine for
me on a linux system. I am on PHP5 however.

I appreciate your speedy response!
However, I just tried to chown the files and it said operation not
permitted. :(
I'm stumped.

VieleRETS will create the files as the same owner that the web server is
running as.

Gary,

Thank you for your reply, I'll switch and see what happens. Hopefully that
is the issue!

Thank you everyone again.

I wrote the code using PHP5 and did not check it under PHP4.

I tried unsuccessfully to get 1.1.6 to work with PHP 4. I switched to
PHP 5 and my issues were all resolved.

So I finally somehow managed to get my settings saved. Now when I try to
create and extract, I am using a relational database, it will connect to my
DB, find the right tables, I already set up generic column names (ex. c1,
c2, c3...etc), and when I click apply and it goes to the next step where you
choose the fields to be included, I get a pop up error that says:

CRT VieleRETS SOA Interface, Version 1.1.6
Server Error - HTTP 0 Calling handler [Page Handler]

and an error on the screen that says:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/home/mySite/public_html/vieleRETS-1.1/setup/extract_map.php on line 160

And there is one blank checkbox in the form which does nothing.

Anyone having this same problem? Or any suggestions as to what I'm doing
wrong?

Thanks!

I had several problems trying to get 1.1.6 to work with PHP 4 that were all
resolved by switching to PHP 5.

What about the permissions on the files that are created? I have always
been able to go in and make edits to the files manually.

Thanks Arthur, for the quick reply. Unfortunately, this is not what is
wrong, all of my folders have 777 permissions.
My source settings are not being saved. I enter in all the necessary
criteria, nothing is red, and the button says "Apply". During the
auto-detect section, it is detecting things for the demo site. I have gone
back in and clicked Edit to edit the source, clicked connection settings,
and it sure enough it has erased all of the settings I entered and has the
demo s ettings. I have used FTP to look at the source file right after I
applied the correct settings, and it still has all of the default settings.
And you cannot edit this file yourself (ex. in notepad) and overwrite it
because of the permissions that vieleRETS sets on it. Does anyone know what
is going on or how I can get my source settings to actually be saved?

Thanks!

Again, I apologize if you know all this, but who are you logged in as?
Does your user have permission? Are you able to sudo? If not do you have
root access?
