I have downloaded and am playing w/Rublog. If I wanted more then one person to have their own blog, would I have to modify rublog.cgi or create separate rublog.cgi files for each person?
Just thinking outloud here.
Thanks,
Zach
Create a separate rublog.cgi for each (for example there are a number of rublog blogs I host here: each is a separate .cgi (for example cgi-bin/pragdave.cgi). They define their own data directories, but all link to the same rublog source.
Cheers

Thanks for responding Dave, and I've got another question about Rublog. In the Full Intsallation rdoc file you mention that Rublog can read CVS directories. All of my cvs files end with a ,v extension, and Rublog doesn't seem to see them. It only appears to read .txt for Plain Text, and I don't see a CVS convertor.
Is there a special flag I need to set so Rublog reads them? Thanks,
Zach

Ok I see now that it appears Rublog is setup to read from a CVSTree on the client end and not on the server end. Would providing blog access to a CVSTree be worth making a convertor for?
I am trying to think of ways to make blogging easy for my development team at work. My cvs server and my web server are two separate machines so I don't really want to have to manually do a cvs checkout every time a new blog is posted, every time rublog.cgi is called or even run a crontab job every few minutes.
Thoughts anyone? Thanks,
Zach

That's how I do all my blogs: I point rublog at the repository, then check in entries from where ever I happen to be.

I'd like to just use an SMB share.

Rublog reads the CVS repository on the server: on the client the files just look like regular files.

If I have 1 file in my cvs root rublog doesn't publish it and I get a blank page.
If I have >1 file in my cvs root then rublog works.

I just moved my blog root to a subdirectory of it's former directory, and now when i have 0 blogs Rublog shows up (before it just gave me a blank page). And now when I have 1 file it works fine. It sounds like something quirky on my end. Sorry for the noise,

Ok, I am getting intermittent problems, where I get sent:
<html><body></body></html> back to my browser.
I get this problem when using Firefox intermittently, but I never get it using IE. I have refreshed pragdave's blog several times with Firefox, and I do not get the problem there, so I'm slightly confused.
I am running my rublog on a OSX 10.2.8 G4, w/4D WebSTAR V as my web server, with ruby 1.8.1 (upgrading to 1.8.2 is on my list).

Dave,
Ok I should have done more thorough testing earlier before I started to post a gazillion posts.
My first page:
http://www.mktec.com/rublog/zdennis
shows up, but none of the categories work, nor can you click on the top level link.
http://www.mktec.com/rublog/zdennis gets translated into "http://www.mktec.com/cgi-bin/rublog/zdennis.cgi"
Any ideas? Thanks,
Zach
Does rublog need write access to my cvs root for my blog?
Zach
I use Firefox and Safari, and have never seen this.
If you track down a problem in Rublog, please let me know.
Cheers

Sounds like a configuration issue. Why not try it using Apache first and see if that works?
Whatever, let's take this off the main mailing list.
