So I have a lot of instant message logs/history that I want to back up from my chat client, Cisco WebEx Connect in Windows 7. These are stored under C:\Users\\AppData\Local\WebEx Connect\Archive and the file is called "myemailaddress".db3
After downloading SQLiteBrowser to open this file, I get the error:
SQLiteManager: Error in opening file "myfile".db3 - either the file is encrypted or corrupt
Exception Name: NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED
Exception Message: Component returned failure code: 0x8052000b (NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED) [mozIStorageService.openUnsharedDatabase]
The file isn't corrupted so I'm thinking perhaps it is encrypted in some way - opening the file in Notepad displays random characters like the following, with no recognisable text:
=¢^£ÍV¶»ñû‡«–
`×ÚµÏýº°ÎîÎL
Besides that file which contains the actual messages, there is another small 20kb file under the folder ConnectDB that has various config settings (such as create CacheTable) and it says on the first line (when opened in Notepad): "SQLite format 3" - so clearly this one isn't encrypted.
Is there any way to extract the data from the first file to something readable (ie, text)? It's only around 5MB in size so shouldn't be causing any memory issues.
Unfortunately I haven't found a way for decrypting this file, however if you're still able to access the messenger client and have a live account you can still export them person by person by clicking on the person in question (make sure you've got view offline people enabled if you're retriving offline user's chat history) > click on the history tab > click on "save as".
I hope this is of use to you.

I'm building a react-native app with spanish as default language, the problem is that I'm using a open source backend service to serve data and this data comes is in english by default. What I want is to transalate this data/messages that comes from server in my react-native app to show to the user the messages in spanish not in english.
This is the first time I am doing this process and it is not clear to me what are the steps or the flow that is generally followed for this kind of proces(translate messages that comes from server in my app).
You have many approaches to such a thing one comes to mind is
Catch the error/api response message which mostly server error messages comes in codes and messages.
set a condition statement if code equal 2 that means the server is down for example
Example:
You made a request to the server and there was an error with the server let say wrong username and password, now the server returns a message and a error code you have to get the code or the message and show your own message
.....made the request the server returned
{ code: 192, message: Wrong username/Password }
now in your code you will do the following
if(code == 192){
...do your message
}
P.S this is just on top my head since you didn't share any codes or responses from your server.
UPDATE :
If you want to translate all your strings/messages that comes from the server you would need to do another approche something like this
Create a file contain all the strings/codes from the server
compare messages/code comes from the server and the file will return the text you want
{ "102": "Hola", "103": "Bien", "104": "Nada", "105": "Si", }
now this file contain the error/message code all you have to do is when you receive the code grab the message from this file
let translation = {
"101": "Hola",
"102":"Si"
};
translation["102"]; // Result will be Si
Now this is the most accurate approach but you have to know all the messages/codes comes from the server, now if you want something to translate on the fly you might wanna use translation library and may not be accurate translation
I am a beginner in loadrunner. I am working with Loadrunner 12.53. I have recorded one simple which will login to one application and Logout.(I recorded with user1 login id) I am testing it with different users say(user2, user3, user4,..., user10, user11). The script is passing successfully till user9 and it is failing from user10. I am getting below error: HTTP-Internal application error
The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: Error in deserializing body of request message for operation 'ClearCurrentUserFormApplication'. The input source is not correctly formatted.
All the users are existed in that application. Is it because of the change in length of the parameter?
Record your site with User 10 settings. Compare to a recording for User9. The differences in structure will need to be addressed
I'm adding BaseX to an existing web application and currently writing code to import data into it. The documentation is crystal-clear that
An existing database will be overwritten.
Finding this behavior mindboggingly dangerous, I tried it with the hope that the documentation was wrong but unfortunately my test confirmed it. For instance, using basexclient I can do this:
> create db test
Database 'test' created in 12.03 ms.
> create db test
Database 'test' created in 32.43 ms.
>
I can also replicate this behavior with the Python client, which is I what I'm actually using for my application. Reducing my code to the essentials:
session = BaseXClient.Session("127.0.0.1", 1984, "admin", "admin")
session.create("test", "")
It does not matter whether test exists or not, the whole thing is overwritten if it exists.
How can I work around this dangerous default behavior? I'd would like to prevent the possibility of missteps in production.
You can issue a list command before you create your database. For instance with the command line client if the database does not exist:
> list foo
Database 'foo' was not found.
Whereas if the database exists:
> list test
Input Path Type Content-Type Size
------------------------------------
This is a database that is empty so it does not show any contents but at least you do not get the error message. When you use a client you have to check whether it errors out or not. With the Python client you could do:
def exists(session, db):
try:
session.execute("list " + db)
except IOError as ex:
if ex.message == "Database '{0}' was not found.".format(db):
return False
raise
return True
The client raises IOError if the server raises an error, which is a very generic way to report a problem. So you have to test the error message to figure out what is going on. We reraise if it happens that the error message is not the one which pertains to our test. This way we don't swallow exceptions caused by unrelated issues.
With that function you could do:
session = BaseXClient.Session("127.0.0.1", 1984, "admin", "admin")
if exists(session, "test"):
raise SomeRelevantException("Oi! You are about to overwrite your database!")
session.create("test", "")
I have a webform with a file field configured to private files. When I'm logged in as a superuser (uid=1) and trying to download the file, I get access denied.
I was trying to debug this, and this is what I noticed.
All private files served by the file_download() function that is called in the system.module. This function validates if the file exists and request the file headers using file_download_headers() function that triggers hook_file_download().
In the webform_file_download() function the module determines whether the file was a webform upload and grant or deny file access based on access to the submission. It validates access permission by calling webform_submission_access(). When I run dpm($account) in this function, I get an anonymous user when I'm trying to access the private file. When I browse recent log messages I have the entry below:
access denied 06/02/2015 - 11:23 system/files/webform/cv-uploads/cv.pdf Anonymous
When I change the URL to file that doesn't exist, I get this:
page not found 06/02/2015 - 11:26 system/files/webform/cv-uploads/cv.FDP admin
As you can see for some reasons when the module is trying to get access to the file that does exist, I get access denied and the user is anonymous. When the file doesn't exist, I get page not found and the user is a logged in user.
Any ideas why this happens?
UPDATE
I've added the following code to my index.php but I still get anonymous user when I'm trying to access the file.
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
+ global $user;
+ watchdog('user', '<pre>'. print_r($user, TRUE) . '</pre>');
menu_execute_active_handler();
I've copied over the whole site including database and files to my local machine, and I'm not experiencing this issue. There's should be some settings that does this on the live site.
UPDATE 2
I've noticed that on the live site we have a list of disabled functions that I'm not aware of. Maybe it will help somehow.
disable_functions = apache_child_terminate, apache_setenv, define_syslog_variables, escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd, eval, exec, fp, fput, ftp_connect, ftp_exec, ftp_get, ftp_login, ftp_nb_fput, ftp_put, ftp_raw, ftp_rawlist, highlight_file, ini_alter, ini_get_all, ini_restore, inject_code, mysql_pconnect, passthru, php_uname, phpAds_remoteInfo, phpAds_XmlRpc, phpAds_xmlrpcDecode, phpAds_xmlrpcEncode, popen, posix_getpwuid, posix_kill, posix_mkfifo, posix_setpgid, posix_setsid, posix_setuid, posix_setuid, posix_uname, proc_close, proc_get_status, proc_nice, proc_open, proc_terminate, shell_exec, system, xmlrpc_entity_decode, parse_ini_file,show_source,shell_exec
The problem was caused by the Varnish on the server. Below is the settings for Varnish.
# Always cache the following file types for all users. This list of extensions
# appears twice, once here and again in vcl_fetch so make sure you edit both
# and keep them equal.
if (req.url ~ "(?i)\.(pdf|asc|dat|txt|doc|xls|ppt|tgz|csv|png|gif|jpeg|jpg|ico|swf|css|js)(\?.*)?$") {
unset req.http.Cookie;
}
I've read questions on Stack Overflow very similar to this question, but not quite the same.
Let's say that I had the following config.inc.php file included on every page of my website:
<?php
$site_name = 'Acme Inc.';
$authenticate_with_ldap = true;
$ldap_host = 'ldap.example.com';
$ldap_port = 389;
$ldap_rdn = 'ldap-user';
$ldap_password = 'ldap-pass';
$ldap_dn = 'ou=example,dc=example,dc=com';
$smtp_username = 'smtp-user';
$smtp_password = 'smtp-pass';
$recaptcha_publickey = 'my-recaptcha-publickey';
$recaptcha_privatekey = 'my-recaptcha-privatekey';
?>
Note: I have chosen to keep the website configuration in a file instead of the database because the information is used all over the website and it would be a lot more code and, I'm guessing, a lot more overhead to have to query the database for the same information all the time.
Now let's say that the website administrator is the type of person who would prefer to edit the above information using a CMS as opposed to going in and editing the file manually. My fear is that when the website administrator clicks the "Update" button and the PHP script gets to the file_put_contents function that overwrites the config.inc.php file, something could go wrong and either corrupt the file or make it unusable due to a syntax error or something.
Is this a reasonable concern? Should I tell the website administrator that he should just tough it out and edit the file manually? Should I store the information in the database instead? Or should I store the information in both places so that if the file gets messed up, it can be regenerated using the information in the database?
If you store that info in the DB as a single row of data, wouldn't it be cached anyway?
