[07:51:58]<ITBoerseun>Hello All
[07:53:31]<ITBoerseun>farmos help needed plz
[07:55:33]<mstenta>hi ITBoerseun
[07:55:40]<mstenta>what's up?
[07:58:38]<ITBoerseun>after install on cpanel i get You are not authorized to access this page
[08:00:15]<ITBoerseun>i been checking online for solution but came empty handed
[08:05:08]<mstenta>ITBoerseun: did you use some kind of automatic install via Cpanel itself? or did you unpack the farmOS zip file in your webroot and then go to index.php?
[08:05:37]<mstenta>i know Cpanel offers a way to install a Drupal system automatically - but i wasn't aware that it was able to install farmOS specifically
[08:05:50]<ITBoerseun>unpacked the zip
[08:05:58]<mstenta>ok great
[08:06:19]<mstenta>and you went through the normal install.php steps to set up the database, site name, initial modules, etc?
[08:06:44]<ITBoerseun>farm-7.x-1.0-beta12-core is the zip
[08:06:53]<mstenta>yes - that's the one
[08:07:21]<ITBoerseun>installation went smooth no hassels or errors
[08:07:25]<mstenta>ok great
[08:07:35]<mstenta>did you set up your admin username and password?
[08:07:49]<mstenta>if so, then you probably just need to log in... the login page is at /user
[08:08:01]<ITBoerseun>got to the tour of farmos but after about 5 min i was getting the You are not authorized to access this page
[08:08:14]<mstenta>oh ok... so somehow you got logged out maybe
[08:09:11]<ITBoerseun>cant seem to find he user
[08:12:33]<mstenta>the user login page would be at http://[path to your farmOS]/user
[08:12:41]<mstenta>so if it was myfarmos.com it would be myfarmos.com/user
[08:12:56]<mstenta>or if it was in a subdirectory, like myfarmos.com/farmos
[08:13:02]<mstenta>it would be myfarmos.com/farmos/user
[08:14:49]* JustTB has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[08:15:00]<ITBoerseun>user being a directory
[08:16:37]<ITBoerseun>there is a user directory under modules ?
[08:16:45]<ITBoerseun>is that the one
[08:17:03]<mstenta>no no... its a dynamically generated path in drupal
[08:17:14]<mstenta>so it's not a real directory
[08:17:33]<mstenta>oh... it could be that your "clean urls" are not enabled
[08:17:39]<mstenta>in which case it would be index.php?q=user
[08:20:37]<ITBoerseun>thanks that worked
[08:21:06]<mstenta>great!
[08:21:26]<mstenta>here is the Drupal documentation for enabling clean urls: https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/configuring-clean-urls/enable-clean-urls
[08:22:41]<ITBoerseun>thanks ;)
[08:25:01]<mstenta>everything *should* work without clean urls, ideally...
[08:25:11]<mstenta>but most of the farmOS development has been done with the assumption that they are enabled
[08:25:39]<mstenta>some people have found bugs without clean urls - i've fixed them but there could be others
[08:26:00]<mstenta>if you find any bugs, please report them
[08:26:42]<mstenta>can i ask: how did you hear about farmOS?
[08:30:24]<ITBoerseun>was googling around and helping my small cominity here in hopetown northern cape south africa with automation and coustimization
[08:30:57]<mstenta>awesome!
[08:31:21]<ITBoerseun>open source is the best im doing some studys aswell and would like to get going with the open souce community`s
[08:32:11]<mstenta>check out the farm sensor listener module sometime (not enabled by default) you can stream sensor data to it from diy devices like raspberry pi + temperature/humidity sensors
[08:32:38]<ITBoerseun>got them enable from th start
[08:32:56]<mstenta>oh nice
[08:33:09]<ITBoerseun>going to try and see if thecrop moist sensors will work from that aswell
[08:33:12]<mstenta>this video shows the sensor module in action http://www.godan.info/news/open-farms-godan-documentary-web-series-episo...
[08:34:04]<mstenta>cool! yea it can store data from anything - but you might need to write the code that sends the data from the device to farmOS
[08:34:15]<mstenta>farmOS just "listens" for data
[08:35:04]<ITBoerseun>also working on the automation from the pivot to the pc with out using 2way radio tech
[08:35:07]<mstenta>there's a project called Open Pipe Kit that can be used to connect various sensors to farmOS
[08:36:27]<mstenta>openpipekit.org
[08:36:44]<mstenta>the basic idea is to create a way to easily "pipe" data from one place to another
[08:37:00]<mstenta>using the standard Unix pipe mechanism and bash scripts
[08:37:17]<mstenta>so you can have a command running on a schedule like this:
[08:37:28]<mstenta>pull-from-sensor.sh | push-to-farmOS.sh
[08:37:48]<ITBoerseun>getting the model for me is cosly
[08:37:52]<mstenta>the pipe in the middle takes output from the first script and sends it to the second script, which handles pushing it to a database (in this case farmOS)
[08:46:10]<ITBoerseun>This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details. and i got my api geo key add
[09:23:25]<mstenta>ITBoerseun: ah yes... that is a new issue - Google Maps started requiring an API key
[09:23:33]<mstenta>there are some instructions for setting it up... let me find them
