symphony datasource error - http-status-code-404

When creating a data source that pulls from any of my sections and pressing "create data source", I get the following error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /symph-page/symphony/blueprints/datasources/new/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Strangely, if I pull from the system or provide custom xml, the data source is created fine and I don't get the previous message. Running symphony 2.3 on server that should be meeting the technical requirements. I have run Symphony before and never encountered this sort of issue.

It sounds like you need to change the workspace/data-sources directory file permissions so that the web server user can write files into it.
For example, on a Linux server (777 may not be necessary and depends on your webserver's configuration):
chmod 777 /symph-page/symphony/blueprints/datasources
If you access the server via FTP, your FTP client will probably let you do this.
Edit: Re-reading your question, I think I was mistaken in saying this is a workspace writing permissions issue. I don't recognise the "blueprints" directory path. Does this directory exist within your installation, and does your webserver have read permissions?

You might also want to make sure that you .htaccess file is present.

Cannot connect to phpmyadmin in MAMP

when I try to access phpmyadmin on localhost from MAMP I get an error.
It says
"Error during session start; please check your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. Also ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser.
session_start(): open(SESSION_FILE, O_RDWR)) failed: No such file or directory (2)"
This is an error coming out of nowhere. Suddenly it has just stopped working. I can still access the database from other applications like Sequel Pro.
I have tried to search Google to see if other has experinced this error, but I cannot find anything helpful. Hope you can help .
Thanks in advance:)
The error message is reporting that the directory where PHP is trying to store sessions does not exist. This is defined in your PHP configuration by the session.save_path directive. Create the directory if necessary and ensure that it has proper permissions so that the webserver process can read and write to it.

This resource can not be previewed at the moment. - CKAN

I’m running CKAN 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64).
I have uploaded a dataset to the CKAN instance. It has been uploaded successfully and can be downloaded as well. But when I try to preview the database I end up with below error.
This resource can not be previewed at the moment.
When I click on the “Click here for more information”, It says
Could not load preview: DataProxy returned an error (Request Error:
Backend did not respond after 10 seconds)
How can I fix this error?
The problem is that the data proxy (which is used to transform csv to
something that the data preview can understand) is a server on the
internet. Consequently the files you want to preview have to publicly
accessible from the internet as well. localhost is your own computer
which means that the dataproxy cannot access it. To solve this, wither put the file in the datastore using the datastorer or put the file on a server and provide the correct url.
.
This happens because the data proxy which is used to transform the
data into something we can preview with recline needs the files to be
accessible from the internet. The best solution is to store the data
in the datastore and then the preview will work.
Extracted from here & here
Sometimes you get the same message as the title question:
This resource can not be previewed at the moment.
But when you click on the “Click here for more information”, It says:
Could not load preview: DataProxy returned an error (Data transformation failed. error: An error occured while connecting to the server: DNS lookup failed for URL: http:///dataset/c3ce226b-73bd-4b06-9d1b-ffea13d5f770/resource/580fb05f-6d86-4748-aac7-560b904a208f/download/foo.csv)
In this case, probably the datapusher plugin is not working. First follow the instructions for datapusher in CKAN manual. If you already did this or you installed CKAN from a package, check the CKAN configuration in production.ini (development.ini) file. A small check list to solve the problem:
add datapusher in "ckan.plugins"
set "ckan.site_url"
set "ckan.datapusher.url"
check Apache/nginx server logs (/var/log/apache2/datapusher.*.log, /var/log/apache2/ckan_default*.log)
In my case, the issue was in my development.ini (or production.ini for you maybe) file where the lines for DataPusher's configuration were commented out with a # in the start of the line. Also, the ckan storage config line was also commented.
I uncommented those lines and it was solved.

Exporting a Typo3 site bit by bit

(edit: I'm leaving all the mistaken assumptions in just in case someone else makes the same mistakes)
I have an ancient Typo3 3.8.1 site on a remote server. I don't have access to that server, and the team in charge of maintaining the site doesn't know who to contact to get access to the server. I do have the admin rights on that site, though. (edit: no I don't. oops.)
This is what I see in the (not) admin menu:
I'm not sure if this version supports extensions, I can't find an extension manager anywhere. (because I'm not an admin)
I want to export the site so I can host it on a server on my own domain instead. The problem is the export file is too large, I can't download it. Will I destroy the directory structure if I export a bunch of pages at a time?
If you have admin access to the backend you can try to install Quixplorer - file manager. Using it you can try to zip folders in the main directory ie. (typo3, typo3conf, fileadmin etc) one by one and download them via browser.
It's important to download and remove typo3conf.zip from the server as soon as possible, cause it contains sensitive data.
Additionally you can also install PhpMyAdmin extension (search in repository) i you haven't other MySQL client.
Edit:
If you can't use Quixplorer the only way is... to write own extension and upload it via Extension Manager, there you'll need to try perform primitive file system operations like:
(PHP)
system('zip -R t3c.zip typo3conf/');
Sometimes the server allows more memory and execution_time that the T3D Export. So, if you can change PHP files on that server, try to change typo3/sysext/impexp/class.tx_impexp.php - search for ini_set and change that settings. If the server allows, you can then create bigger t3d-files.
And you could try some shell-extensions to get hands on that server:
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/phpshell
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/mw_shell
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/shell
But to answer your initial question: you can crate a couple of T3D-files and import them again. Just force uid if you import them - and install all needed extensions first!

404 returned from a file that exists in ASP.Net on IIS 5

I'm running into this problem and its driving me crazy.
Also, we are not allowed to update the version of IIS.
The content on the server (asmx files holding WCF webmethods called via SOAP) exists and I can freely browse in inetmgr to the virtual directory that contains this data. The files all exist all on the file system and the virtual directories all point to the correct spot and have the correct ACLS, but when I go to their URLs all I get is a 404 message.
I have reset IIS, I have rebooted the server, and I have done everything I can think of.
The IIS logs simple return "404 - -" as the entire line contents, with no other data in the line.
The event logs show nothing, and ASPNET is not dying or anything like that.
With no event logs, and minimal logs in IIS , I have no idea what to do and was hoping that others had run into this before.
In IIS logs there should some codes along side the 404 error which will help find the issue.
Check IIS has the correct version of .Net installed using aspnet_regiis command line tool. Also check that ASMX extensions are mapped to the .Net ISAPI filter as they are with ASPX pages.

Cakephp loads old database config file

I developed a small cakephp website on local machine. When I upload to my host server, I realize that I must use their prefix for the database name and database user. So, I go and create new database name and new user. When I visit the site, it has this:
Warning (2): mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'old_name'#'localhost' (using password: YES) [CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php, line 552]
I am 100% sure, I already change the name to "new_name", it runs on my local machine, but I dont know why it still load the old name. I go to ftp, and download the database config file, it clearly stated that, the database user is "new_name", i dont understand why when I go to the site, it loads the old database config. I am new to cakephp, please help.
try to clear the files from your app/tmp directory and tripple check the configuration.
Sometimes it can take a while for files to become live. One host I use has a folder for upload and then they transfer to the live folder from there automatically. Could it be something like this?
You possibly need to specify an IP for the database instead of localhost. Often the database is hosted on a different server to the code.
