What this means in practice is that I can no longer approve posts from new members. (We require the first posting from a user to be moderated because a high fraction of such posts are spam.) I've tried to contact Sourceforge support to regain or reset the passwords, but they have given me no response. I'm not sure what the best course of action is at this point. If someone were motivated, I imagine we could once again migrate to a different mailing list provider (Google Groups?). Or, given the extremely low traffic on the lists, we could simply accept the situation as it stands currently and declare the lists (and blosxom?) in retirement. Or maybe someone has a third idea. -kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software T</pre> Kevin Scaldeferri 2011-05-08T17:25:48 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.blosxom.user/200 <pre>[snip Hi, I just wanted to let you know the issue has been resolved for me. When using static rendering, the webserver is responsible for assigning content type to files. I made sure it assigned "text/xml" to RSS files, but that didn't solve the problem. When looking at the solution I realised it was better to have smaller chunks of data in each entry, so I re-engineered the solution to use one entry per hour instead of per day. This dramatically cut down the size of the RSS feed, and now I have no issues loading it into Google Reader. Thanks for your help! /g. </pre> Gustaf Erikson 2011-03-25T08:16:46 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.blosxom.user/199 <pre> Hi guys, thanks for the replies Lilo: I'm using version 2.1.2, according to the top of the file. And here's the content type: rss content_type text/xml; charset=$blog_encoding Axel: I've got a custom head.html flavour that is lacking the link to the RSS feed, but I tried to subscribe using the direct link to the RSS feed. Gavin: yeah, the feed file is pretty big. It's a "private" feed though, being that it's the generated content of my Twitter feed, so I doubt there'll be much traffic for the RSS. There may be an issue with the way my webserver is serving the RSS files. I'll look how the Content-Type is handled there.

If you want to keep it that large you should certainly look at turning on gzip compression in your webserver. Your problem is that you're missing a link in your header flavour pointing to the feed. Something like: &lt;link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://gustaf.symbiandiaries.com/twitterblog/index.rss" title="Feed for Gustaf's Twitter blog"&gt; That's why it's not being autodetected by Google (and probably your browser).

Thanks. Referring to my previous post, idea 1) (change the blog top URI) is not possible as long as you want to use blog.shtml in its current form. Idea 2) (using .htaccess to rewrite the URI requested by browsers) is possible, and maybe the more elegant solution, but requires your web server support .htaccess and you to be able to put a file (.htaccess) in the root directory of your web site (/www/test.com/www). It will also require a bit of study to figure out exactly what to put in .htaccess to make the permalinks work. Idea 3) is also possible. You just put a file called story.html in the directory /www/test.com/www/blosxom with customized template data inside. For example: --- /www/test.com/www/blosxom/story.html contents: -------------------- &lt;p&gt; &lt;a name="$fn"&gt;&lt;b&gt;$title&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; $body&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; posted at: $ti | path: &lt;a href="$url$path"&gt;$path&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.krunky.co.uk/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/$yr/$mo_num/$da#$fn"&gt;perma</pre> David Meyer 2011-01-13T04:37:41 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.blosxom.user/193 <pre>I set up a site (www.proximitypoetry.com) with blosxom last year and permalinks work fine for me. I use path-based, not date-based, permalinks, but I seem to remember date-based ones worked when I was testing. Perhaps if you posted that part of your story.&lt;flavour&gt; or date.&lt;flavour&gt; we could see what's going wrong. Mine looks like &lt;a href="$url$path/$fn.$flavour" title="how to find this again"&gt;permalink&lt;/a&gt; I'm not doing static rendering though -- maybe that's causing trouble. As far as I recall (without actually looking at the code, mind you!) you can't have a URL for the $datadir. I hope this is of some use, at least in helping you think about it. I am by no means a guru on blosxom but thought I should at least offer you some support. This is a very quiet list -- I think a lot of people have moved on to other CMSs.

However, when the URI has a CGI query string appended at the end, like the permalink ending with "/2010/11/15#121110", the server doesn't recognize that the URI is intended to invoke a CGI script and instead tries to return a file identified by the entire URI string. No such file exists on your site, to you get the 404 error. Note that a permalink URI that explicitly references the Blosxom script, e.g. &lt;http://www.klunky.co.uk/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/2010/11/15#121110&gt;, works fine. I think you could fix the problem in one of three ways: 1) Change your blog top page URI to ".../blog.cgi". 2) Use fancier URI rewriting directives in .htaccess to allow for the presence or absence of a query string. 3) Customize your story template (story.html) to </pre> David Meyer 2011-01-12T06:54:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.blosxom.user/191 <pre> On Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:55:57 +0100, Axel Beckert &lt;abe-fMCiMSyC7UhQt3jXV3EbuA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; wrote: hi Axel, Here is the blog.shtml that calls the cgi. # cat blog.shtml &lt;html&gt; &lt;!-- #BeginTemplate "/Templates/layout.dwt" --&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" --&gt; &lt;title&gt;simon loewen&lt;/title&gt; &lt;!-- #EndEditable --&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"&gt; &lt;meta name="keywords" content="dj, test test, biography"&gt; &lt;meta name="description" content="Official blogger."&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body bgcolor="#003366" text="#999999" link="#CCCCCC" vlink="#006699" alink="#CCCCCC"&gt; &lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="540"&gt; &lt;tr align="left" valign="top"&gt; &lt;td width="540" colspan="2"&gt; &lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="images/header2.gif" width="540" height="79" border="0" alt="Header"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="375" valign="top" align="left"&gt;&lt;!-- #BeginEditable "content" --&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="images/s</pre> junk4-K8jTgGLmi5rQXOPxS62xeg< at >public.gmane.org 2011-01-12T15:52:01 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.blosxom.user/190 <pre>Hi, On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 11:20:43AM +0100, J4 wrote: Blosxom is written in Perl, so blog.shtml is probably some SSI wrapper around it.
