ODBC Connection works on Command line, but not in Web Browser

andrew2404 — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:57:46 -0700

I have a perl app that happily retrieves from a MS-SQL database when run on the command line. However, when I run it from a web browser nothing is displayed. It fails to connect to the database

It must be due to the browser not running as "my user" and running as the "web user", which does not have permission to connect. Where can I check this?

I feel that I'm really close. HELP:>

Many thanks in advance.

AIX tar too limited

Unfortunately that isn't possible. AIX's tar can't handle some of the long files in a standard ActivePython package. Attempting to use AIX's tar results in a lot of errors like this:

tar: 0511-188 Cannot create ActivePython-2.5.1.1-aix5-powerpc/INSTALLDIR/doc/python2.5/diveintopython/html/object_oriented_fram: Cannot write to a directory.
tar: 0511-188 Cannot create ././@LongLink: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.

It is possible that most (or all) of these errors can be ignore because they are most likely just in ActivePython extensive documentation set.

Install on AIX 5

Ok, that worked thanks.

My main comment with regard to installing Active State python on AIX is that it is necessary to use gnu tar to un zip and untar files. It would be much better if the install was able to use standard AIX tar.

That line uses a '//'-style

That line uses a '//'-style comment which, strictly speaking isn't allowed in pure C code. The AIX compiler is being picky about that. Convert it to a '/* ... */'-style comment and it should be okay.

Install paramiko/pycrypto on AIX 5

loial — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 02:29:53 -0700

When I run setup.py on the pycryto download on AIX I get the following error :

building 'Crypto.Hash.SHA256' extension
cc_r -DNDEBUG -O -Isrc/ -I/home/prod2/ActivePython-2.5/include/python2.5 -c src/
SHA256.c -o build/temp.aix-5.2-2.5/src/SHA256.o
"src/SHA256.c", line 168.1: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error.
error: command 'cc_r' failed with exit status 1

Any ideas how to solve this?

C Compiler is the AIX C Compiler, not gnu

Install paramiko on AIX 5 without ez_setup.py

loial — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 00:58:23 -0700

Yes that worked....running wget on Windows and transferring the tar to AIX
Thanks

You are correct that I now need Pycryto....where can I get that?

Does this work: wget

trentm — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 10:14:00 -0700

Does this work:

wget http://www.lag.net/paramiko/download/paramiko-1.7.1.tar.gz
tar xzf paramiko-1.7.1.tar.gz
cd paramiko-1.7.1
python setup.py install

Note that in paramiko's setup.py there is a section at the top that tries to import setuptools (the new stuff that gets ez_setup.py involved). If that fails it falls back to the good ol' plain distutils way. You could try editing that setup.py to force the distutils way. You might then have to install PyCrypto manually.
