Hi there,
working on moving old friendica sites from a shared hosting to a VPS, I ran into the following problem I can't find a solution for. This actually happens with one 2021.04 instance but not with another (anymore), so I'm crosschecking all the settings but can't find how to solve this. Both sites were installed as 2012.04 from the start:

As visible in the screen, the site also displays the following path on top of the page, and of course calls that URL:
sub.domain.com/var/www/subdomaincom

Different intents to fix this by changing or deleting the following settings from the console didn't work out:

system.basepath => /var/www/domaincom
system.urlpath => /var/www/domaincom/

Even more astonishing, sending the following setting with the console:
/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com
.. the site is displayed and works as it should be for a few minutes, and than falls back into the wrong behavior, like if the worker changes something when ever the cron kicks in. In that time span I can log in and even go thru the admin settings but this setting is not available.

Intents to modify the following specifications in local.config.php didn't work out either:

'system.basepath' => '',
'url.basepath' => '',
'system.urlpath'=> '',

At least I figured out/ realized that url. and system. actually shouldn't be used at all as:

'config' => [
        ],
'system' => [
        ],

.. are actually "in charge" of defining that. So now I'm not sure either if those wrong lines somehow made it from local.config.php into the DB and are now part of the problem.

I found this conversation by @Hypolite Petovan on github:

Table config, cat = "system" AND key = "basepath"

and it actually looks like this is exactly te problem but I have no experience at all with mysql over CLI SSH and don't know what commands to use to delete the apparently wrong setting in the DB.

Screen of the front page showing the error

Is there a way to delete entries with bin/console?
I did manage to change some settings from there but couldn't find any hint how to "delete" an entry entirely from there:

/var/www/inversioncom/bin/console config -h

console config - Manage site configuration
Synopsis
bin/console config <category> <key> <value> [-h|--help|-?] [-v]

bin/console config system basepath /
system.basepath <= /

@utopiArte The last command looks correct, although this kind of low-level config value should be set in the config file, not with the console that only interacts with the database config.

On a first glimps, I haven't found any mention of the path terms.

Like to say, if I can find "relevant config keys" ..

@Hypolite Petovan

Couldn't find any relevant setting or hint in static/defaults.config.php searching for the term path.

I did (again) a diff check of the print of bin/console config of the two subdomains.

The domain that doesn't work still displays the setting;
config.system.basepath => /
.. and I have no idea how to delete/ erase the /

The subdomain that works has the following line that doesn't show up in the one that doesn't work:
system.urlpath => /var/www/sudbomain2/

@utopiArte Sorry, I was on mobile and couldn’t check but these keys should have been mentioned in this file, along their purpose.

system.basepath is the absolute file path where Friendica is installed, e.g. /var/www/subdomaincom in your case.

system.urlpath should only be used if Friendica is installed in a subfolder of the domain you’re using, and is relative to that domain. It doesn't seem to be relevant to you, so it should be blank.

system.url is the absolute URL where your Friendica node is accessible. It should consist in the protocol, the domain and the urlpath together. In your case it should be https://sub.domain.com/

system.php_path should be the absolue path to the PHP CLI executable. It should not point to PHP-FPM, which is used to process web requests.

@Hypolite Petovan

It should not point to PHP-FPM

Changed this setting in the local.config.php to phpX.y. The sites are working like before.

I decided to copy/paste identically local.config.php of the site that does work to the one that doesn't, only changing the specific detail of DB and folder structure, and also made sure that the .conf files are alike.
Still having the same problem.

Compared the print of:
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config
in the few minutes it is working correctly after sending:
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com
and when it doesn't work but the prints are identically.

The print right now for both sites show the following quite at the bottom of the print:

system.url => subX.domain.com
system.php_path => /usr/bin/phpX.y
system.urlp

system.php_path => /usr/bin/phpX.y
system.urlpath => /var/www/subXdomaincom/
system.ssl_policy => 1
system.basepath => /var/www/subXdomain/

The only difference between the two sites in the print is the following line quite at the top:
config.system.basepath => /
This line doesn't exist in the site that is working and I can't find a way to skip it or delete the /.
Meld (the diff program) shows a dot in front of the the slash ./, the simple text editor Kate doesn't.

Meld actually also shows the [enter] signs in the same way, a little bit less colored, in lines that have them, like it shows the dot.
🤷‍♂️

As of now local.config.php does define system.urlpath, but as the site that works uses the line I left it for now.

system.url is actually not set as https://sub.domain.com/ but as sub.domain.com

@utopiArte So, forget about system.urlpath, it isn't used in any way by Friendica anymore, so value or not will not change your predicament.

However, the system.url should include the scheme. It is the most important config values to determine the base URL of your Friendica install.

What do you mean by "works for a few minutes"? How many pages correctly show in the mean time? What happens when the few minutes have elapsed?

The site works correctly for several minutes.
I can log in.
All pages show correctly, including admin pages.
Once it falls back to redirecting to:
sub.domain.com/var/www/subdomain/
.. I have to execute again:
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com
.. the console prints (as always):
system.url <= https://inversion.tupambae.com
and I can use the site again for several minutes before it falls back to the wrong behavior.

@Hypolite Petovan

After a break I started to check out everything again and did several tests.
I changed the order of the lines in local.config.php and managed to get the exact same lines and order in the bin/console prints of both sites.
The problem stayed.
Than I checked example_local.config.php to compare and found that actually any of the lines figure there, so I deleted them all together.
Right now local.config.php looks like this:

        'config' => [
                'admin_email' => 'anyname@subdomain.com',
                'sitename' => 'sitename',
                'register_policy' => \Friendica\Module\Register::CLOSED,
                'register_text' => '',
        ],

        'system' => [
                'ssl_policy' => 1,
                'default_timezone' => 'UTC',
                'language' => 'es',
        ],

The site still behaves the same way. At f

@Hypolite Petovan

        'config' => [
                'admin_email' => 'anyname@subdomain.com',
                'sitename' => 'sitename',
                'register_policy' => \Friendica\Module\Register::CLOSED,
                'register_text' => '',
        ],

        'system' => [
                'ssl_policy' => 1,
                'default_timezone' => 'UTC',
                'language' => 'es',
        ],

The site still behaves the same way. At first it loads correctly, and quite fast, after some minutes it starts taking lot's of time and ends up like in the screen of the initial post.

Now the bin/console config print shows only the following two specific lines related to the whole path issue, all the other references mentioned above are gone.
I have no idea how to delete the remaining references. Those lines have to figure somewhere in the DB I guess, but again, no idea what lines to execute to display them or delete them:
config.system.basepath => /
system.basepath => /var/www/subdomain

@utopiArte Once you set a config value using the console, changing the value in the config file won't help as the console stores the value in the DB and it has precedence over the files.

No matter how you did it, the important part is that system.basepath must be set to the install folder, and system.url must be set to the full URL. You can verify what the current value used by Friendica for either config keys is using the console.

I've browsed https://inversion.tupambae.com and when the style is missing, the first line shows inversion.tupambae.com/var/www/inversioncom even though it should show https://inversion.tupambae.com. This is governed by the system.url config key.

@Hypolite Petovan

To me it "feels" that /var/www/subdomaincom is added by some mecanism to sub.domain.com. In particular because when setting specifically with the console command /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url -> https://sub.domain.com it works for some minutes.

As last intent I tried to use the following commands to reset the two mentioned settings but the behaviour ist still the same:
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domaincom
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system basepath /var/www/subdomaincom/

Can't see a solution for this.

@utopiArte

utopiArte

in reply to Hypolite Petovan • 8 months ago • •

@Hypolite Petovan

No I can't.
There is no change at all in the results of the bin/console config output (print).
Actually even the settings send and "officially" accepted by the system do not show up in the print.

Latest thing I tried, totally feed up, was to send the commands several times and also making sure they end with a slash.

So I send:
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com/
system.url <= inversion.tupambae.com/
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system basepath /var/www/subdomaincom/
system.basepath <= /var/www/inversioncom/
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com/
system.url <= inversion.tupambae.com/
/var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system basepath /var/www/subdomaincom/
system.basepath <= /var/www/inversioncom/

And right now it looks like it sticked, for now the site remains operative!
🙄

(please have in mind that this is 2021.04, if it weren't so outdated I'd say we need to figure out the problem because this feels like a real problem under the hood)

@utopiArte There's no file named boot.php at the root of the Friendica install, not sure where it's coming from.

The CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEOUTED constant is defined by the PHP curl extension, please verify it is enabled in the CLI version of php with php -i | grep curl.

For what it's worth, I found friendica to be unfriendly to non-root URLs, that is to say URLs that aren't at /, so I setup a subdomain specifically for friendica, friendica.eskimo.com/. You may wish to give that a try. The machine domain does not need to be this, you can do it by configuring DNS to point to the base IP of the machine and then configuring a subdomain in Apache or Nginx as a virtual host.

Like instead of:

just
/subdomain
?

Also, this is a btop from an 18 core machine with 256GB of RAM with the major load being friendica, a secondary load is hubzilla, mastodon, and miskey, but friendica represents more load than the latter three combined, but it also gets more traffic than the latter three combined. But what I am getting at here, you may want to consider dedicating a physical server. I'll grant you it's busier than usual as we've just returned the server to service after three months of downtime, 7 motherbords, three power supplies, and two CPU's later.

It's no coincidence that alt-right people have taken up AI generated artwork so intensely. It allows bypassing all the ethics and care of typically left-leaning artists. To show the ability to wield aesthetics without the social values tied to those aesthetics is a power move.

This is well covered in "AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism" newsocialist.org.uk/transmissi…

A few years back I got this photo of a honey bee in flight, returning to her hive.

Had to shoot a few hundred photos just to land this one.

photo of a bee in mid-air, lit slightly from above and behind so it appears to glow, its translucent wings spread and antennae raised. The background is unfocused, smooth gray fading to deep green.

Starsector, one of the best space RPGs that's not on Steam had a huge update

Starsector (formerly "Starfarer") is still in development but it's been a seriously impressive game for years. Not yet on Steam or any other store, as you have to buy it direct, but don't let that stop you with a big update out now.

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman even made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.

Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to the industry's biggest boosters that they have won—that they're free to use, appropriate, and commoditize art however they see fit.

So many things that don't get considered when writing fiction about time travel. I once wrote a story about the beginnings of time travel and how much computation would have to go into it so that you wouldn't end up blasted from landing partially in a wall, or alternatively dying from asphixiation in space. This video talks about the diseases you would have to contend with. Reminds me of the Connie Willis novel Doomsday Book.

Una pequeña incorrección: el software libre *no* es gratis. Suele serlo, pero no tiene porqué. Tenemos ejemplos como Ardour o los mismos plugins de Blender. Lo que no quita que sí sea cierto que no pagas por una «licencia de uso» porque realmente compras el progrema ejecutable.
