Upgrading from Tiger blojsom to 3.2

[Tycho Sjögren]

Hi,

finally I will have to retire an old Mac OS X 10.4 server that only is used for blojsom.

I have managed to get 3.2 with MySQL working on a 10.6 server. I'm still having problem to get the jk_module thing working, so presently I use the proxy module to be able to run on  port 80. Will dive into that later.

Another problem was the  transfer of the actual blogs. The script recommended in http://wiki.blojsom.com/wiki/display/blojsom3/Upgrading+from+blojsom+2+to+blojsom+3 doesn't seem to work with Apple's version, so I wrote a shell script that gets the content of the .html and .meta files into an SQL import file. 

I spend some time trying to use one of the Apple provided templates that we had customized, but it doesn't look like it has the same format in 3.2.

My user (yes mainly one user with tons of stuff) will miss the easy way that that template handled creation of new blog entries. 

First of all it was very convenient not to be forced to log into a special admin environment.

Secondly it took care of new lines by just using the return key - no need for any coding whatsoever.

But the main problem is that the automatic link creation is gone -and there are thousands of URLs that used to show up as links.

I could probably write a script to take care of the old links but I know there will be problems to get the user to accept a ore clumsy way to publish blogs.

Has anybody else gone this path and has some tips and tricks to share?

Unfortunately my java skills are very limited..

Tycho

You might be able to use an existing plugin to convert existing links into clickable links. Would the following work?

mod_jk is deprecated in Apache 2.2, now the default Apache builds on
Snow Leopard, in favor of mod_proxy_ajp.

% /usr/sbin/httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.2.11 (Unix)
...
Server compiled with....
 -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
 -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
 -D APR_HAS_MMAP
 -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
 -D APR_USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZE
 -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
 -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
 -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
 -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
 -D DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=128
 -D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr"
 -D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/bin/suexec"
 -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="/private/var/run/httpd.pid"
 -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status"
 -D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="/private/var/run/accept.lock"
 -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
 -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="/private/etc/apache2/mime.types"
 -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"

Looking at the configuration file in /etc/apache2, we see this is available:

% less /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
...
LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_ajp.so
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_balancer.so
...

I would use this option since it is available. A configuration might
look like:

  ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
  ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/

Did Apple load the JSP Dispatcher in the 2.32 codeline? Blojsom 3
deprecates the JSP view for Velocity (http://velocity.apache.org/). The
JSPDispatcher is still available however.

http://wiki.blojsom.com/wiki/display/blojsom3/JSP+Dispatcher

I cannot speak to the compatibility of 2.32 JSP views with features of
the 3.0 codeline. It's something I should look at though in the maven-spike.

Hope this helps in getting started.

Hi,

it looks like the plugin does exactly what I want it to do.

But I could not get it working.

I created a file in /Library/Tomcat/webapps/blojsom/WEB-INF/ called plugin.properties containing the following line:

href-hyperlinks=org.blojsom.plugin.hyperlink.HyperlinkURLPlugin

I also created a subfolder in WEB-INF called the blogid of the blog that I'm testing at. In that folder i put another plugin.properties file containing one line as well:

blojsom-plugin-chain=href-hyperlinks

I did also check that the entry     <bean id="href-hyperlinks" class="org.blojsom.plugin.hyperlink.HyperlinkURLPlugin" init-method="init" destroy-method="destroy"/> was in WEB-INF/classes/blojsom-plugins.xml

Am I missing something?

Another plugin that I will use when I get this working is the line breaks plugin. I saw that Apple had made one of their own - any idea what's changed?

Tycho

I think you’ll just need to make sure that the plugin is defined correctly in blojsom-plugins.xml. Then use the administration interface to add the plugin to one of the plugins chains for say html or the default plugin chain.
