`Apache::Registry': Can't locate Apache/Registry.pm @INC
I am trying to have WebGUI up and running on Win XP
These are the versions info Apache/2.0.52 (Win32) PHP/5.0.3 mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.4 Server at 192.168.2.19 Port 100
Pulled the webgui-latest.tar.gz from this website.
I have already bugzilla installed in the same system. So could not use the All-in-one Win32 installer. Had to use the steps provided from http://www.webgui.nl/windows_installation
Error Log shows the error message in the subject. Copying and pasting below my httpd.conf file
 <stuff snipped by wg-fom@gwy.org> 
 NameVirtualHost 192.168.2.19:100
 <VirtualHost 192.168.2.19:100>

Simply change Apache::Registry to ModPerl::Registry in both httpd.conf and preload.perl.
Note: This is a known issue with mod_perl2 and apache2.

I am BRAND new with lots of questions
I have just inherited the framework only of our newly designed website in WebGUI. I know that it is a version of WebGUI 6, but I do not know which version or how to find out. Our technical manager just finished work at the end of September and although I have seen and heard about the wonderful WebGUI I have not worked in it at all and now I am just diving in with virtually no knowledge. Furthermore I am not a compuer person per se - I am a teacher and an empowerer of disadvantaged people and all about demystifying confusing and scary bodies of knowledge i.e. I don't speak the language. With that introduction I hope that my questions will sound too dumb that there will be understanding for a real person who is trying to make use of powerful technology to give people who need it a helping hand. I do not know which version of WebGUI I am using, how do I find out - asking the administrator is not an option - I am for all intents and purposes now the administrator. The question that is most pressing now is how do I track an asset - that is I know I have the asset either there is an asset proxy to it, or it was in the trash and I restored it, buthave no idea how to go about finding it. If I know the URL for it can I search my assets for it? Thanks for any patience and plain English guidance you can offer. PS - below this box in which I am typing in my question, it says Hide Attributions. What is an attribution? I am not ticking this box for now as it is not ticked at the minute

Welcome to WebGUI.

One of the easiest ways to determine your version of WebGUI is to "View Source" on a WebGUI page. The version is in the header.

The question that is most pressing now is how do I track an asset - that is I know I have the asset either there is an asset proxy to it, or it was in the trash and I restored it, buthave no idea how to go about finding it. If I know the URL for it can I search my assets for it?
When Admin is turned on, you can view Assets by entering the Admin, Assets part of the toolbar. Stuff on clipboard (copied/cut assets) will be on the admin toolbar under clipboard. I'd provide more specific answers if I had more information on what you were trying to accomplish.

PS - below this box in which I am typing in my question, it says Hide Attributions. What is an attribution? I am not ticking this box for now as it is not ticked at the minute
It essentially means, hide who posted messages. My obscured email address would not be appended if I checked the box.

(Answer) (Category) WebGUI FAQ : (Category) Unanswered Questions :
What are some "best practices" for using Webgui?
I am rolling out a new site built on Webgui, and many people who are to become authors are asking about the "best way" to do things.
For instance, what are some of your expereinces with methods that worked for building Image repositories?
qhartmanATlaneDOTk12DOTorDOTus
The easiest thing for image repositories in 6.7.+ is to simply FilePile upload them, then Hide the uploaded image assets (from the Display tab of the Page Layout edit screen).

Once there, you can do a lot. Believe it or not, WebGUI is so customizeable that you can choose to upload files and give them any URL you want, regardless of where they were uploaded. If you choose to use the Asset Installer app, images/files might go into the Import Node. I've seen it done, and it makes sense, especially to convert from web templates... to change references from src="images/image.jpg" to src=^FileUrl("images/image.jpg");", where image.jpg is the file you uploaded and the URL is manually changed to images/image.jpg. The downside of this, of course, is to know that the ability to edit or remove that image could be hidden if you don't know the page upon which the filepile was unleashed.


WebGUI Folders could be used to help organize these images (and preview them outside of normal web views) if they become unruly. The beauty of a database of files/images is the complete disconnect between where you think the images are/should be located and the actual location of the images. In a way, user ignorance of their current location except by reference -- that is, a user knows that the image is at images/image.jpg; and user preference about where to dump images for a new project -- "hidden" in the page that's to be shown to the world ; this actually gives rise to the flexibility for you to make your own "best practices".

How do I enable registration?
Admin on, Settings, User tab, Anonymous Registration (*) Yes.
wg-fomATgwyDOTorg
You can then add ?op=auth;method=createAccount to a URL if you want to manually add a link to registration.Of course, anyone else can do this on any URL as well.

(Answer) (Category) WebGUI FAQ : (Category) Unanswered Questions :
Installing WebGUI on a server that is also running php scripts...
Is it possible to run WebGUI on a server that is also running php scripts on other domains? Example: Domian1.com is set up running Mambo, Domain2.com is running a php auction script, Domain3.com is running an html site with a php script running on a subdomian, I want domains 4,5,& 6.com to running using WebGUI for the CMS, Domain7.com is running a billing script written in php.

Is this possible? I know that "ideally" it is good to run WebGUI on its own server, but can WebGUI be installed at the root with mod_perl installed along with running the php scripts on the other domains? Or do I need to install seperate instances of WebGUI in each individual domain as a cpanel installation?
Although I know that running WebGUI as a cgi script is taxing on the system and has been known to overload my server and shut it down.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Yes. Because I know I and others use phpmyadmin with WebGUI

I am looking at CMS' and I like what I see so far of WebGUI, however I have not been able to find out if it offers the two features I need. Feature (1) automitic RSS feed generation from a web page. (2) MP3 file download (no play) management module. And (3) easy instructions/manual for how to set up and use these features. BTW - This FAQ isn't WebGUI, is it? And if not, why are you not using WebGUI?

Automatic generation depends on the type of content. Articles (main content types) may not generate RSS feeds, but Discussion Groups/Forums individually offer feeds.

MP3 file download management? If you find something you like, you can implement it, otherwise, there's no *management* per se. If you expand on your request, perhaps you can find what you are asking for. Check the online demo.

Instructions for RSS and MP3 may be hard to find because they're built-in or you make it.
FAQ isn't in WebGUI format. See the FAQ main page for why.
Also, in case it isn't obvious, this FAQ hasn't really been touched in over a year.
