Internet Access Issue #2

Open rcchadwick opened 10 years ago

rcchadwick commented 10 years ago

I have successfully installed elabchem on a Ubuntu server. Everything is working except updates and database searching. It seems it has a problem connecting to the internet.

I do not use a proxy server to connect, and I have left the Proxy server section of the configuration file blank as indicated. I have no trouble pinging, or accessing external sites from the Linux command line.

Do you have any suggestions as to what is wrong with my configuration.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hello Ryan,

I'm the maintainer of elabftw, the original software.

In the file admin/config.php, the line proxy should look like : define('PROXY', '');.

What do you mean database searching doesn't work ? Also, it looks like elabchem wasn't updated for 4 months. So maybe all is fixed in recent elabftw commits. (One would need to merge changes in elabftw back in elabchem).

Regards, ~Nicolas

Nicolas,

Thanks for the quick response. Elabchem is supposed to be designed to search the "chemspider" database for physical constants for chemicals, but it doesn't appear to be operating correctly (potentially due to the internet issues). The 'proxy' line is present.

When I get some time, I will set this up on a computer at home, to see if it is a connection issue at work. As for merging the updates in to elabchem, I wouldn't even know where to start. Installing this is getting pretty close to the limit of my computer savvy.

Thanks again,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Did you get it to work?

Cheers Martin

Not yet. I haven't found time to try it at home (where I have more control over internet access). Hopefully in the next two weeks. I will let you know how I fare!

Ryan
