No, no error (except for the whitespace in the accept/deny config). AFAIR, it contained some comment like "replace this with an appropriate config from /usr/share/doc/friendica/examples or something like that. So I had a look and found that one more appropriate for my setup. > > - the web interface was available, but it showed the installer (is that > > supposed to happen?) > > Yeah for now it should get you installer.

Did you try > this with which package? Ahh, I see the problem now. I did get the package on March 19th (UTC+1) dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/friendica/friendica_3.1-1.dsc Your new package was apparently made public a little later, even though it was uploaded on March 17th. At least I get a different dsc file, when I download it again, now (same version number). So the version I have installed now, is probably 3.1-1 from 2013-01-13 05:19 All those problems that you thought you had fixed, can probably be attributed to that. > > - I manually created the database with /usr/share/friendica/database.sql > > and finally got friendica up and running > > Uh was the database.sql was missing in installation?

I'm not planning > to target friendica to squeeze as it will be soon old stable. That was my first thought as well, but I learnt that there are two different distributions of that markdown parser. One with an "ExtraParser" class and one without. Debian (both stable and newer versions) packages the one without the ExtraParser. BTW, I found another problem, but I probably need to check whether that's fixed with the newer version: the cronjob (poller.php) always reports warnings like PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/config.php on line 23 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/config.php on line 23 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/plugin.php on line 150 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/datetime.php on line 456 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/socgraph.php on line 357 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/friendica/include/poller.php on line 168 (and many more). That's not the fault in the package, but a problem in friendica itself. The function q() either returns an array (good) or false when something is wrong. Callers of the function only check the result with count() and then iterate over it with foreach (which fails when trying to iterate over 'false'). All these places would need to be changed to something like if (is_array($r) && count($r) Without that, you would get a mail from cron every 10 minutes by default... > Wonderful!

Getting such things easily installable is why I love Debian :-) Thanks again, Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
