Hello Marco, et. al.,<br><br>I do feel a bit responsible for the SPIP difficulties as I was involved in recommending it a while back when we discussed the move to a CMS for the website. I've learned a bit since then, and I am in agreement with you
about SPIP's shortcomings. I found it awkward to use when I was working on creating the installation report template.<br><br>I've used drupal a bit before and liked it. I have no objection to whatever you wish to use. I am also glad to help at this stage. I'm more-or-less settled in the new residence in Singapore, finally. I've yet to find a job, so I can devote some time to helping with the conversion to a new site package.
<br><br>Questions:<br><br>Do you want to broadly consider other CMS packages, or are you happy with Drupal?<br><br>Do you want me to take a closer look at errors with SPIP? If so:<br> will I need shell access to the server?
<br> can you post the error messages here?<br> have you posted the error messages to a SPIP list?<br><br>Would you like for me to look into converting the XML output of SPIP into a Drupal format?<br><br>Happy to help with anything else at this point.
<br><br>Regards,<br>C D Rigby<br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/30/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">M. Fioretti</b> <<a href="mailto:mfioretti@mclink.it" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

Hello everybody.<br><br>Last week I was finally able to get an updated ssh password from<br>Athens and log into the server. Then I tried to reinstall the same<br>SPIP version we used before and got an error nobody can explain:
<br><br><a href="http://listes.rezo.net/archives/spip-en/2006-09/msg00019.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://listes.rezo.net/archives/spip-en/2006-09/msg00019.html</a><br>
<br>Then I tried to install the latest version of SPIP, hoping it wouldn't
<br>cause problems, only to find a different version of the same bug:<br><br><a href="http://listes.rezo.net/archives/spip-en/2006-09/msg00021.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://listes.rezo.net/archives/spip-en/2006-09/msg00021.html</a><br><br>
At this point, I have no idea if the problem is inside SPIP or in some<br>apache configuration problem. Any comment or help is really, really<br>welcome.<br><br>In all honesty, I'm starting to be pretty pissed off with SPIP. Once
<br>it works, it's great and actually perfect for our needs, but every<br>upgrade we did created some problems never heard of before on the SPIP<br>users lists, (both on this AND on the previous server).<br><br>Recently, for other projects I've had to learn some Drupal. If I could
<br>figure out how to migrate all the SPIP XML dump to Drupal<br>automatically I would have probably already migrated.<br><br>Really sorry this is taking so long. Thanks for your patience,<br><br><br> Marco<br><br>
